Please search this topic has been discussed since day one. There's a fix for it...someone here in the forum. I wish I could provide you the link but I can't right now.
This happens when you have a corrupted media file and the system is constantly on to scan it.

Its draining my battery like crazy

What media server issue? Isn't it simply related to listening to music?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
No it won't. A custom kernel, like franco or trinity, can help prolong your battery life significantly though. (some custom ROM may use though kernels)
Media server service is used for a lot of stuffs. Like syncing contacts or emails, sending your location to Google, listening to music, reading newspaper, etc.There maybe some apps that are using your service and draining your batter via media server service, but custom ROM can't help you much with that.
Edit: There's also a mod that kill the service all together. I haven't tried it, but you might want to.

A kernel makes a bigger difference than a ROM.
We need more information on your end to see what's using your battery.
Its happened since I first turned the phone on ever. I disabled currents and music but damn it never happened on my GNex. At first it did but using Francos kernel and AOKP I never saw the problem again. I'm using Franco's kernel now too

It seems to be the consensus in the xda community that it media server issue is related to corrupted media files, be it images or music. However I don't think this is the case.
I have the issue only when playing my sd card music from a music player like power amp. It doesn't happen when not using it. I turned off all scanning within the app and it is still happening. I think this is a 4.2 issue... I deleted all of the files on my SD card then resynced and it's still happening! This was not an issue with the same EXACT content on the galaxy nexus. Can anyone help fix battery drain issue!?

We need more information besides that single screenshot. Have you checked your wake locks? Do you have any apps running in the background that it's not suppose to? Any rogue apps? How is your service?

That's looking normal to me. By the looks of it you have had over an hour of streaming music. So constant data connection and media service use.
I use paranoid android and Franco kernel and here is my usage.
Note I only use light web browsing and medium xda usage

music will kill the battery via media server
i would love to use my phone as a music player but since it drains so quickly i've resorted to using my ipod and just left music out of nexus 4 for now.
without music and only internet use, email, texting, some minor games here and there (pinball, super hexagon, some GBA games)
i get at LEAST 20+ hours and about 3 hours screen on time consistently
I didn't actually steam any music it was all stored locally from Spotify but your correct music does seem a killer. Just to be sure I had liquid smooth installed and after a few days applied the kernel. I didn't do a clean install of everything would this have made any difference?

No you don't need a clean wipe to flash a new kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Oh Okay thanks that's good to know.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Hi all, those who are running liquid smooth, could you tell me, if the are profiles (as in CM) presented in this ROM?
Screen on time is the main battery drain, if you've got upwards of 3 hours with a full charge (depends greatly on brightness levels) then you're doing ok.
Im running the same setup (LS + Franco) and have my screen brightness on 100%.
I get between 3 and 3.5 hours of screen on time, which is fine for me.
On stock i was getting 2 hours.
I use the same combo and I my battery drain is fine
Sometimes you need to go through a few full charge cycles to tell the difference
I'll keep you updated as I go... Thanks for your comments

Well at the moment I'm using my phone as normal. Usually dead when I walk through the door but still showing 19‰ so pretty happy with that
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Today i want to work and put the device in a drawer. never touched it during the whole shift but one phone call. during a five hour period 30% of the battery was wasted. bbs showed audioout_2 wakelock took place for 5 hours. screen time was 30 minutes. I haven't kept any screen shots from bbs but i did capture on system battery usage.
what could have caused it?

op, perhaps a little enlightenment on your setup(rom/kernel) would yield helpful information from someone running similar setup
good luck

STOCK EVERYTHING .
not even rooted or bootloader unlocked. An out of the box Nexus 4 16GB (301k),.
Perhaps there's a corrupted media file somewhere in the storage system.

I have no media files on my storage, all my music is via GOOGLE PLAY.
(the wakelock is not caused by google play because since I booted the phone I have not listened to any music)
There seems to be a fix for the problem, haven`t used it myself though. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050252. Its a init.d script at boot and you need root.
I wish to avoid rooting my device. when I bought the nexus I wanted to have a vanilla Google experience.
Also I don't wanna void my warranty.

Not rooting a Nexus is like forbidding the Pope to pray But to each his own.
Yeah I know, I think I'll root if i hear reports that rooted devices can receive official google updates

and what of the audio out 2 wakelock? I'm still getting high wakelock times because of it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I remember one time, I left a game without closing the game. 5 hours later my battery dipped and I tried to figure out why. I realized that the game was still running in the background and drained a good 30% of my battery because of the mediaserver. I know it was still actice cuz when I hit recent it picked up exactly where I left off with no lag jumping back into it.
I'm guessing the game isn't coded to freeze in the background when you leave it. I could be wrong, but this is one possibility I think.
I'm on PA, with the matrix kernel. The game is called PAD in case anyone wants more info. I say, just be sure to exit games or generally certain apps when you finish playing them.
This only happened once and since then never again since I started closing that particular app correctly. Also, I don't mess with any music volume booster mods. Just get some noise isolating earbuds/headphones. The volume booster mods definitely killed battery much quicker than it was worth with my first nexus 4
I close everything and still got 1.5h of AudioOut_2 and AudioOut_3 wakelock overnight . 20% battery drain overnight. normally my battery drains 5-6% overnight.
up
Maybe there is a corrupt file on your phone, it doesn't have to be music, could also be a ringtone or a video.
considering you don't want to root I would consider factory reset then reinstall 1 app at a time until you find the culprit. I know it's time consuming but it's either that or keep your charger handy

I'm just wondering what other peoples screen time is once they hit 10% battery mines usually just shy of 3 hours I can never make it past 3 hours and it kind of frustrating cause my S2 got about 4 and this only shy of 3. Like I said I was just wondering what other peoples screen times are. Feel free to post screenshots of times lol

I get just over 1 hour of screen time if I am lucky. This is basically the same as it was on my Galaxy Nexus and Sensation 4G.

How many songs are on your nexus 4 8gb?
I have about 715 and 2 small games like 20mb each I was wondering if this is normal? I have nothing else on my phone that takes up space
Sounds about right. I still strongly believe that Nexus devices are supposed to be used with google's cloud service. Have you ever considered using google music for all your music?
None. Music belongs in the cloud.
