[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Are you rooted?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Sorry....I see you are not rooted. That's fine.

Option 1....downgrade Google Play Services - locate in apps and uninstall updates. This will revert to an earlier or factory setting.

Test it and let me know
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Galaxiez:
That's wrong actually you just flash the ROM,I did it multiple times and no he can't delete system stuff in order to cause those errors otherwise phones would have been complete trash.I really don't know why it's trash since it's brand new though?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
I mispunctuated my reply earlier. No big deal.

I was on the understanding that if the CSC is flashed as part of the main firmware installation everything goes however, if HOME_CSC is flashed, data remains.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
There is no such option as "uninstall updates" in Google Place Services in app section. And the disable button is grayed out. I googled, and it seems I need to root my phone to be able to downgrade Google Play Services.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Hi. Sorry - just seen this.

Okay. In Apps section, tap the 3dots at the top right of the screen and select "Show system apps".

When loaded, scroll down to "Google Services Framework". Tap it. Tap Disable.

Reboot. Repeat process to then enable. Reboot. See what we have.

It's just a case of diagnostics now, if you want to avoid the flash route (we'll try and keep that as last resort - but you will not lose data using my method above)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
I downgraded the Google Play Services, but unfortunately it didn't work. The problem is same and additionally Media app (containing Downloads and Download Manager) is draining my battery too.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
That's annoying!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
It's driving me crazy!!!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
When I disable MTP Host the battery draining and performance issues are gone, but of course some the other necessary features would be out of access too.

I was wondering if there is any way to update or replace MTP Host!?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Try enabling again. Turn phone off. Remove SD card. Restart. Check.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
I removed SD card, and so far no error, but it might happen again. Other than that "Media" (containing Download manager, Downloads, MTP Host, Media Storage) draining battery. Any suggestion?

[IMG="Battery Status"]http://i65.tinypic.com/2rqjek0.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
This could be related to corrupt media files contained in internal or external storage.

As your problem appears to have "fixed" could suggest corrupt media files on your SD card.

Reinsert the SD card. Restart and see if the error reoccurs. If so...that's where we pay attention. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
I don't think the problem is fixed. I haven't had the error message but I had some noise during sound playback. Also the battery draining problem is happening at the moment without the SD card.

Something else, I have one app (a dictionary) on my phone with more than 40,000 small files. Could it be the problem?

Of course this is Longman Dictionary which I don't think is developed by some amateurs.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
I feel we are getting closer, bro. Bear with me.

I would like you now to restart the phone in safe mode. Check battery stats - screenshot it to save for later.

Observe what happens over the next hour - try not to use the phone, but after the hour, have a look at the battery stats - screen shot it and post bothe screenshots (before and after).

Let me know if you don't know how to get into safe mode.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
First off all, I have to thank you for trying to help me.

I might have realized something useful. When I disable the included package in "Media", which as I mentioned before are Download manager, Downloads, MTP Host, Media Storage), the battery draining problem is completely gone. Through trial and error I think it is the "Media Storage" or "MPT Host" not the other two, however the performance issue error is about "com.android.providers.downloads.ui".

But again I'm not sure about the exact package causing the problem. The stock setting app shows "Media", is there any way (or app) to detect the exact package causing the battery draining problem?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Told you, we were close!!

Head here and install this - really useful battery analysis app Play Store

On the main screen tap "App Usage".

You will then see a list called "App Sucker - View % Power Used".

Tap Media and this will show you all processes attached to it.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
As a matter of fact, I came across this app, but I thought it only shows "Media" not the package included. I give it a try and tell.

Other than that, I made a mistake: I cleared Media Storage data and now all my ringtones etc are gone. Is there anyway to recover it?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
First guess would be to reboot and the files may be rebuilt and restored from cache as it's only the meta-data that has been cleared.

It could take a considerable time for it to be rebuilt.

Failing that - it would mean one of two things:

Data recovery software via computer

OR

Factory reset (sorry for swearing there!)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
It's not working as expected. Apparently it needs the phone to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Aw crap - sorry...I forgot you were pure stock!!

Okay - to give you a clue - the Media will point to the obvious ones - Downloads, Download Manager - and also Media Storage and MTP Host.

Those are the beasts that are chewing on your battery. You suspected those two anyway.

Further processes include:

com.android.mtp

*wakelock*

android.process.media

---------- Post added at 22:36 ---------- Previous post was at 22:34 ----------

in turn, the wakelock includes MediaScannerService and *dexopt*

Maybe a search on those will come up with something fruitful?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
The problem is when I locate any of the packages (Downloads, Download Manager, Media Storage and MTP Host) in app section in setting, they all show the same amount of battery usage.

Could it be Media Scanner? Is it possible to disable it without rooting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
I firmly believe this to be the issue as the problem hasn't occurred since the card was removed. That is correct, isn't it?

I've found a useful thread. Read it through thoroughly. It was written in 2013. May be wholly relevant, may not, but read it carefully and try things out.

Android Media scanner sdcard CPU utilization, battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
Actually I did not receive the performance issue error message, but the noises, lags and battery drain problems remained.

First option in the link is:

Solution 1. Clear media storage data

Settings > applications > Media Storage > clear data, force stop and reboot.

Which did not help solving the problem and cost me losing all ringtones and ....

Solution 3. Analyze and delete excessive media files

It might be about the Longman Dictionary I told you about. But I need it.

Solution 4. Probe and delete bad/damaged media

Pre-requisite: You must be rooted

Solution 6: Disable Media scanner

I probably go with this one!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Sounds like a plan.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
I'm not familiar with Linux commands.

The instruction says:

adb shell

su

pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver

When I use "su", I get "su: not found", and when I enter the last command I get:

Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Shell cannot change component state for com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver to 2
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
su is short for SuperUser - you need root. Sorry, bro...should have read this myself beforehand.

---------- Post added at 23:34 ---------- Previous post was at 23:20 ----------

Before moving to the next set of possibilities (I have found stuff to do that doesn't require root - sorry about that!), can you reboot your phone and see if your media restores?

[MENTION=8755310]Pooorang[/MENTION] - Any feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pooorang:
Actually I did factory reset my phone and installed the apps I had one by one, so far so good.

I haven't installed the the Longman Dictionary (with more than 100,000 files) yet. Although I had .nomedia file in the directory, I suspect that its files were responsible for media scanner to be in a loop and draining the battery. I might give it a try later.

Thank you very much for bearing with me. And sorry for my bad English.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Not a problem. Your English is fantastic! I understood everything you said.

[General Questions and Answers] clu1688:
Long story short, I installed Net Monitor (from Play store) to check data usage on my Moto E4 Plus (Verizon), though the question below is probably not limited to this particular device.

I was surprised to see some of the apps that were sending data somewhere even when they are disabled. For example,

1, Gboard (by Google), this app has been disabled in Settings since the beginning. Why is it still sending data? Worst nightmare is an app collecting keyboard entry log and upload it to where??? Why???

2, Some Apps, such as below, I have disabled their background data usage, but they still show up in Net Monitor.

Astro File Manager (an old version that I love to use),

ML Manager,

Photos (by Google)

Youtube

I am sure I did not use these apps during the time that Net Monitor was running as I was testing the whole concept of Net Monitor.

I can understand some communication apps such as Gmail that uses data because I did not block their background data usage.

Some of the apps in the screenshot are presumably system apps though I am a bit suspicious. Knowing recent cases with One Plus and Blu, and Elliot Anderson:

https://www.androidpit.com/elliot-fs0c131y-alderson-interview

I just wish some experts can help explain or provide some insights, thank you in advance,

BTW, can someone recommend clean Open Source apps that do not abuse permissions and do not send data secretly behind the users? I got a few, but need more. My app sources:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arathon:
I'm searching for a "good low-cost" tablet that I will use mainly for reading comics/manga, watching tv shows on netflix and browsing on chrome (no gaming as I do that on my pc). I always wanted to try this tablet mainly for being a nexus (I have the N5 and N6p) and the screen.

Do you still recommend this tablet? What dou think is its max price?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
Watching videos on the N9 is great-screen quality, but you might not like the ratio. Comic books would be ok. It's lousy (at least mine is) at web browsing. I would say be very careful purchasing one. Some have been crappy right from the assembly line. Some have been great-not mine, but it's still working as long as I factory reset at least every 2 months.

You have 2 of the best phones google put out. My N5 still works (had to change the battery). Still have the GNex and the N4. Got 6P for one son and it's been super. I'm using a 5X for main phone. I've had both N7's and recently bought Acer r11 Chromebook. The N9 is the worst of my collection. I won't even consider any HTC device now. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arathon:
I'll buy from ebay so I won't have a chance to try it and I was worried after I read all the issues it had.

I see that it is like the N6P if you are lucky you will get an awesome device.

I'll watch some ebay deals and I'll probably take one if the price is good as I don't like the kindle fire and all the tablet under 200 euro. I thought about going into chromebook but I don't know if the experience would be better or not.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbat99:
You're right, it's a dice roll. But there are more good than bad. If you get a good one, hey it's a Nexus (very flash friendly). And the screen is great for movies and comics.
