no thats media scanner not media server two different things. if u look in op of that thread its a different issue
ok so now its getting worst decreasing my nexus 7 battery life. i need help. i switched roms and everything and it still is running whenever the screen is on. it doesnt run when screen is off or when charging which is odd..
If what you are looking for is something to play stuff from your nexus to tv bubble upnp is flawless. The only thing you have to watch is your nexus going into deep sleep. You can set it up not to do that though. I use a wdtv with it its perfect plays anything I throw at it.

I recommend trying Elixir widgets 2 to create a widget which includes auto sync and sync all. With auto sync s off let it run for an hour or so and see if this resolves it. If it does you can use sync all as a manual sync.
I´m having the same issue since yesterday, the only changes i made was, install moonreader +, virtua tennis and asphalt 7.
For me it´s the same, the Media Server is active whenever my screen is on, in fact, the CPU + Activation time of the media server is exactly the screen on time.
But i think that this only happens now...

OK so yesterday I hooked up my tablet to my stereo and pulled up the siriusxm website and was streaming from there. So everytime the screen shutoff so did the stream. I tried the app but I cant get it to work it keeps saying checking for updates. So my question is, is there someway to make the browser continue to stream with the screen off I had to set it to never turn off and it worked great but it does do a number on your battery. Any help would be appreciated.
try with dualweb, maybe.
mine streams from ghosttown with the screen off and docked and closed.
Online streams do this to me, though oddly with upnplay from my own servers, never a problem. Perhaps its a power/bandwidth setting devs put in for smaller devices need to save battery, by default.

No such problems using TuneIn Radio for Android. Continues to play, regardless of whether I tap the power button to sleep, let the sleep timeout elapse, or close the screen when docked. Also happily wakes up from sleep to play an online stream as an alarm clock.

Do you have your WiFi sleep policy set to never?
If you have it set to shutoff with screen off that might be it, not sure.
EDIT: OK I missed that you are accessing XM through the browser, yeah I think when screen goes off or when you're out of the browser
everything shut down.

Yes everytime that I have to minimize the browser for some reason the stream stops is there some kinda of work around for this. I just want to start the stream and then shut off the screen and have it still run. Yes my wifi policy is set to never

I beleive the issue is with SIRIUS. Their app is not made for honeycomb and does not work.
If you do the webpage honeycomb is set to turn off the inactive page. I noticed that I even lose audio if I switch to a different tabed browser or application. To me it appears to be a honeycomb featured mixed with a sirius application bug.
Thank God I can listen NP on my EVO 3d

The application itself must tell the device not to sleep.
Have you ever noticed how when you install certain apps one of the permissions required is "Keep your Device Awake"?
This is why some apps keep playing when you turn the screen off. The browser however, cannot keep your Asus awake and when you turn the stream off it will stop.

I had this issue with Music, and now have it with Music Beta.
When listening to a song, when the screen timeout engages, the player will never go to the next song (but it will at least finish the current song). Probably a feature, but would be extremely nice to override that.
Changing the Wifi settings didn't seem to fix it; only removing the screen timeout did.
On the same topic, I guess, but is there a way to keep the Youtube app running in the background while using another app?
I guess another thing would be if theres a way to keep flash videos running while browsing another tab in a browser, but Opera and the stock browser don't allow that.
So I am running stock jellybean and I am rooted. I notice that my media server is the 2nd highest thing draining my battery and I tried almost everything to fix the problem. I have almost everything down. (brightness, Bluetooth, GPS, and everything i can turn off beside wifi) I usually use my tablet to go online on chrome or use facebook for a while but my battery drains 1 percent within 3 min. sometimes 2. I don't even have any music programs playing etc. Is there a way to fix this. Thank you

Media server or scanner. If it's the scanner you can try Rescan media root from the play store.

I am not sure if this is a legit complaint, but sometimes I don't use my N10 for a few days and my tablet will be completely drained. I really only use my tablet for some general browsing/emails/videos. I generally turn off all automatic updates/notifications/etc as I know I may go days between use and want to conserve as much battery life as possible.
With that said I have noticed lately that my entire battery will drain after 3-5 days even if I am not using. Is that just the case? Or should I expect to not lose too much battery when inactive. I looked and 90% of the batter drain was the Android OS.
Any help would be appreciated.

When your N10 is sleeping, you still have several things happening such as looking for updates, synchronizing RSS feeds (like your greader), WIFI connection and communication. By looking at the programs that consume the most battery during those times, you can start tackling them 1 by 1. There are a few apps that will help with battery life and to reduce drain. You can also try turning WIFI off when not in use and you don't want updates. You can also change your WIFI - Advanced settings to Keep WIFI on during sleep only when you are plugged in. You can google battery life during sleeps as there are lots of threads about this topic, which is more Android related than N10.
Just like SmokinCharger said there are other apps running, try turning off Sync initially and don't forget to turn off WiFi, this may save a little your battery, if it doesn't try uninstalling some apps that may cause this, like Facebook.

That graph looks exactly like a wakelock going on all the time and your tablet never actually sleeps. OP probably has the exact same problem.
My own personal Nexus 10 will lose about 1% battery every 20 days when sleeping.
Thanks for the help. I really do t use that many apps and don't have Facebook. I have attached some pics. Media server is using all my battery? I even turned my wifi off while sleeping.
Any other ideas?

Do you have your N10 set as a media server? If not, media server could be just looking for changes in your N10 in order to have media available - i.e. downloaded a jpg and to show up in Gallery. I believe there is a setting to not allow it to auto detect, but I don't remember where in the settings it is.
Don't have it set up as a media server. Like I said I really don't use it too much.
Enigma - you only lose 1 percent? How is yours set up?

While i may not say there is a wakelock, you can clearly see that because the app has been on and running for over 14 hours time that that process is what is causing the wakelock and draining all your battery. I forget how to fix the media scanner thing, I know I have seen it before in the forum for the Galaxy nexus, which was my old phone. What Media Scanner is is the process that scans your storage for files so that it has an index of what is on the device and so it can display the files and folders for you in Windows. most likely Media Scanner is stuck on a specific file and cant get past it so the process is staying on forever.
My personal setup is the RaSaber ROM (not available anymore) 4.2.2 and KTManta kernel (whatever the last 4.2.2 version was). I probably will never upgrade to 4.3 because this setup is perfectly smooth and the only bugfix that 4.3 brings that I would ever care about does not matter to me since I never hit the bug (playing video in specific apps using hardware rendering). I mainly use my tablet for games and book reading on trips, so it goes long periods without use these days. I never charge it in between because I know it will still have basically the same exact battery level as I left it whenever the next time I pick up the tablet is. I posted some screenshots before in some other thread a while back because no one believed me on the battery life. I went something like 70 or so days of idle and was at 97 or 98% still, then went on to use it for gaming and got like 7 hours of screen on time still before I needed to charge the thing.

Your tablet is searching for more media, maybe you can check the settings and see if there's anything set up to be syncing. Also you can try installing another ROM to check.

I had a similar problem, after upgrading to Android 4.3 a couple months back. The battery seemed to run down much quicker when the screen was turned off. However, the problem seems to have gone away now. I'm not sure if there was some media scan or whatever running in 4.3 that finally finished or if it was a webpage I had loaded in my browser that kept refreshing itself. See if you can reproduce the problem with all browsers, email, video players turned off. Check the app switcher to make sure nothing is loaded. If so, the problem might be in the OS itself. Maybe it will go away with time, as it did for me. :victory:
Hi,
You can try leaving it off, the battery will stand by then . And as Nexus 10 boots really fast you won't see any problems (mine has 2GB free and booted in 20-25sec).
Hope this suggestion helps ,

I found this in relation to this topic on a different site:
"All you need to reset is that media scanner: Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage: Force stop & Clear data. Then, reboot."
Most people seem to think this works. In a follow up, someone posted this:
"I had the same problem and none of these fixes worked. It turns it that my Spotify was the problem. It had crashed and could not find the media files i had downloaded. I uninstalled Spotify and that solved the problem"
Good luck.
Wife and I both have Note 3's. My Note 3 makes it through about 1 or 2 songs and then disconnects from the Chromecast. This causes all music to stop playing and the Google Play Music app on the tv to return to the headphone start screen. I've compared all types of phone settings, wifi, etc between wife's phone and mine. I even did a factory reset on my phone, no change. My son's S3 has no issues, our Note 2's had no issues, only my N3.
Anyone else having these issues? More importantly know how to fix the Chromecast disconnect. Thx.

This may or may not work but in an old phone I had a similar issue with pandora. Hopefully this works but if you have an option for streaming for high quality, turn that on, then reset your phone right after and start the program and see if it works.

I've got a oneplus one running CM os 12. With Google play music this was the only solution that worked and I also had the wifi set to not sleep. Interesting, never saw any other signs of wifi going to sleep. It will be interesting to see if the battery usage is affected. I'm guessing it wont be.
Thanks a ton for saving the day. Really enjoying play music now.
Notifications sometimes don't work, especially for calls. It stays connected fine with Nougat, though I can't figure out how to track sleep. The specs state that it can.
Until today. I added the watch as one of my "trusted devices" so the phone stays unlocked when they're in range of each other, and it disconnected. Now when I try to reconnect in WiiWear, it crashes and disconnects again. I've forgotten the watch, removed it from "trusted devices," wiped cache, reinstalled WiiWear, etc, and it still crashes. HELP!

Sorry to hear about your issues. I'm considering buying one myself. Do you think this is mostly a problem with the watch (i.e. hardware) or something with the connection between the phone app and the watch software?
Also, if you don't mind taking a minute to tell me, what did you think of the build quality and general usability of the Y3?

I have the Y3, and the connection problem is very real. Until yesterday, I could not maintain any reliable connection between the watch and my phone. The Bluetooth would continually connect and disconnect, and the m2d manager and receiver were very quickly being killed after the the screen turned off. Then I stumbled on the cause. I was checking the app notification log using Google gesture and noticed an app called Battery Master posting silent notifications. This app does not show in the app list and is not accessible in any other settings screen. However, when I tapped on one of the notifications in the notification log, it took me to the info screen for Battery Master and gave me the option to disable the app, which I did. Bluetooth, m2d, and notifications have worked perfectly ever since. So far I have not noticed any significant difference in battery drain but it will probably take a few days to know for sure.
Build quality of the watch is excellent. I love the watch now that the connection issue is fixed. The display is awesome since there is no black band around the outside and no flat tire. I've installed the ClockSkin launcher which provides a better looking interface and allows installation of all the excellent LEM5 watch faces available from the G+ user group. Battery life for me (after disabling Battery Master) seems to be about 10 hours.

That's good to hear. You should definitely make a quick Youtube video about the fix, or even just a thread here on XDA. I bet a lot of people never discovered what was the cause of their connection issues and just returned the watch. One question though, does that fix persist through a reboot, or do you have to disable the Battery Master app each time you start the watch?
Please update us if your connection issues continue to be resolved with that fix (or not).

It's actually really good. It's a solid watch, and it has a lot of good uses. I wish it did work with apps like Google Fit and Sleep as Android though, but it's not really necessary as those work fine with just the phone as is. It is supposedly IP67-rated water proof, but I don't recommend testing that by completely submerging it, or showering with it on. It likely is OK with washing hands, though. Or sweat. Never had a problem even with my original Moto 360 in that regard.
One thing these will never do is make or receive calls over Bluetooth. None of them will.
They are a stand alone watch phone. Never made to call through Bluetooth.

Download the app Google Gesture Search from the play store onto your watch. This will allow you to easily search for settings options that are not accessible through the watch's launcher. Search for Notification Log. In the log, tap on any line that says Battery Master. This will take you to the app info page for Battery Master. You can't uninstall the app but you can disable it. This will allow Bluetooth to stay connected and will allow the m2d manager and receiver to stay running.
Using m2d, the phone will reconnect with the watch automatically if you come back into Bluetooth range.
Be aware that once you disable Battery Master, there is no way to re-enable it because it won't show up in the logs. I'm guessing that a firmware update or a factory reset would re-enable it.

The IP67 rating is a misprint, on the official LEMFO store at AliExpress, the listing for the Y3 states that it is IP65 rated. I took a screenshot because I know a lot of people were confused about that.

That's really too bad. I really would like a watch like my Gear S (which also allows you to use a SIM card) that can simply pass the call through the watch. For driving it is great to keep your hands on the wheel. I wonder why the feature isn't on more watches. It seems like a no-brainer.
