Mediaserver drain - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don´t know if somebody was able to fix this properly.
I´ve been through dozens of threads about mediaserver issues and I was never able to fiz this issue.
Tryed rescann median root, roms, kernels, and problem allways remains. Even with reflashing the rom to original 4.2.2 and without media files inside I´m getting allways this issue that ruins my battery.
Most of the time the drainage is higher then the screen use.
Wonder if somebody can help me furthermore.
Thanks in advance.

I think I'm having this issue too. I see that "Mediaserver" is using most of the battery under the screen, which seems to be draining the battery over night. I haven't tried flashing anything new though.
This started after I flashed M-Kernel

This is not a kernel issue. It happens with all ROMs . i think is more a Android issue. In my other devices with branded Android it never happens. Hope somebody can help.

Battery meter

Hey guys, I'm having major issues with my battery meter. What happens is it sits at 95% all day and when it runs out it just dies without so much as a low battery warning. It used to work fine before I rooted and flashed another kernel onto the phone. I have since flashed the stock kernel back on and removed the bloat ware but the problem persists. This is somewhat of an inconvenience so if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks!

Take it to a store and describe your problem. You'll likely end up with a new battery. If it still happens, then something else is wrong.

Android OS consuming too much battery juice.

I just had it fully charged this morning and this is what I have found. Why does it behave like this and is there any possible fix for this?

Anyone else has the same problem?
I tried flashing stock rom, cm10.1rc4 and wiped phone many times.
Same result always.
I even changed batteries.

Odd, mine seems to be a lot better battery wise since 4.3... You might want to use BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint the cause (maybe some wakelocks etc.)
Flash a custom kernel.
Yes, me too, battery seems worse than in 4.2.2. Or is it just because that I use it more now i.e. to restore apps etc?
Really? Oh no!!
I'm still waiting on my ota update

Im gonna go back to 4.1.2 because it has the best battery life which 4.2.2 and 4.3 doesnt have
me too. Really hoped android 4.3 fixed this problem ;(
been having this battery drain problem ever since 4.2.2
Do you guys have this drain problem in IDLE mode? because I do..
rough estimate, it drains like 7 to 8% in one hour when my device is in SLEEP mode..
But to all this, what apps or services seems to be draining the battery?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know what your talk in about, I'm getting better battery life than I ever did before. I'm UV by 25 running faux kernel (u21), and clean ROM. I just removed all the gapps I don't use, and don't run anything that needs background syncing. Did you guys do clean installs(full flash via fastboot)?
I also turned off daydream which I am suspicious of, yet I have no proof that it does anything

Thats the problem, I hard factory resetted several times and leave it alone with no new apps
installed before.. disabled NFC, my mobile connection.. and still it drains like a leaky hose in idle mode..
some friendly ppl here suggested installing greenify and betterbatterystats and stuff..
but it doesnt really help me pinpoint whats doing the draining.. maybe because I am not sure what I am looking at..
end result, i even flashed (nearly bricked my nexus on several occasions too) and still the drain is there..
I thought my battery is dying or something.. but my nexus is barely 6 months old.. and battery status shows it as GOOD..
so yea, I am stumped..
Yeap.
I am having the same problem with the battery, the battery is spent very quickly, I have less applications installed and lately I have not used the phone to see if it was me and nothing. It may be because manually install the OTA?
Does the rule of waiting a few days/recharge cycles to get a true sense of the battery not apply to Nexus devices like it does to Samsung devices?

The initial battery drain after flashing can be attributed to apps conducting their first sync and the kernel "settling." This only takes a matter of hours at best. After that, one can get a fairly accurate idea of how their battery is being tasked.

i used to get horrible battery drain until I disabled google now.
I'm also experiencing severe battery drain after taking the 4.3 update on my stock, unrooted Nexus 7. It's been 3 days and no improvement.

I too face same problem, and the App sucking most of the battery is "Kernel (Android OS)", second one is "Launcher", "Phone" and "Android System".
Any suggestions solutions found for this battery issue?

Sleep of Death/Deadlock

So, I have my phone rooted running a modified version of CM10.2. Recently, my phone started going into a "sleep of death" while charging overnight, where the phone is still on but is nonresponsive, requiring me to reboot. So I downloaded Safe Charge and it helped... Kind of. Now instead of going SoD every night, it only does it sometimes.
So, is what I'm experiencing part of the infamous JSS ROM deadlocks I've been hearing about? And is there some way to fix this, or am I just going to have to deal with it until KitKat comes out?

SoD seems to show up randomly... I've heard that JWR ROMs have less SoDs than JSS so you could try one, or if your not into switching ROMs here is an app (free) that could help you. It's called Safe Charge, and the comments say that it works great.
If you read my OP, I already have Safe Charge installed and am still getting sod. I really like the ROM I'm using, but I may just have to switch to avoid this unfortunate issue.

Oops I guess I missed that part... I'm pretty sure that you can find a near similar ROM/kernel setup for JWR... If all else fails, try stock...
(Oh and if you can still RMA it, do it. People have speculated that its a hardware issue...)
No worries. I'm trying out SlimBean because I hear that doesn't have the issues, but not being able to use Franco with it is a bit of a bummer. In fact I haven't yet found a third party kernel that does work with it.

I had this happen to me with a particular rom. Everything was great until id lock the phone, then try to unlock and see nothing but a black screen. I switched roms and it never happened again.

Huge battery woes

You probably get these all the time so apologies.
I've done the google and the msm_hsic_host is referenced for when you connect the phone via usb.
But the problem I have is it's there all the time, regardless of using a computer USB cable or using a wall charger.
These appear far too often, reboots help but there seems to be something wrong and I cannot figure it out.
Any and all help / advice welcome becuase it's really fustrating.
Cheers
What OS are you running? Could it be an app you installed? Have you tried flashing to stock to see what happens?
On stock 4.2.2
Will have to see on the app front.. Might do a purge and see if it helps.

Good luck. Please report back with your findings.
I was on stock 4.4.2 and got pretty good battery life.
Lol OP, I think what you're using is 4.4.2 not 4.2.2. It's time to get it right now, don't you think?
Btw, are you using stock kernel or custom? Either way try flashing stock kernel back and format dalvik and cache. If you're using custom kernel, same..flash stock kernel back then flash your kernel.
Sigh you are right. 4.4.2 of course.
Everything is stock on my nexus4, haven't even rooted it.
Which is why this behaviour is so annoying, might understand if I'd have played around with roms etc.
I've deleted loads of apps, may remove some more today if it doesn't let out. Will then think about going for a wipe down.
Cheers for the suggestions.

Maybe this will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999368
From what i've read, this wakelock is not about the USB cable per se. The 3g modem is connected to the phone as an external USB device, which is controlled by the msm_hsic_host.
In few words, every time your phone needs something from the 3g modem, msm_hsic_host is triggered.
Im on 4.4.2 stock rooted and every time I'm in a place with low signal this wake lock drains a good amount of my battery.
Maybe you should try different kernels to see if that helps.

Using other on better battery stats shows the phone is never in deep sleep.
Now just to find out why.

You need to show us the info from Partial Wakelocks, not Kernel.
Unleashed by my Nexus 4
Thanks yeah I know that would be more helpful so apologies that I haven't.
Wanted to if possible avoid rooting the phone but I think I'll do that this evening to see what's going on.
