Was just wondering if it is normal to have the media server with that keep awake and is this a wake lock?

Or maybe it's the 3g connection.

You have a corrupted media file somewhere in your storage. Find it and delete it.

I only opened the 3g for the Xda app..do you think it might be because i left real racing 3 on the background? If its a corrupted file hire do i find it?

[Q] Screen Flickering & DPI mod

Had my Nexus 7 for 24 hours know & its amazing but the I've only just noticed that sometimes my screen flickers & I have to lock & unlocked my nexus 7 to stop it, is this due to the DPI mod I'm using to give me a TabletUI or is this a fault?
Thanks in advance
Seems like its a problem regarding tegra 3 devices. It should be fixed in a rom update eventually.

Take the brightness control out of Auto and see if it helps

Mine seems to flicker only when using Tapatalk. I haven't seen it do this on the home screen, browser or when playing games at all but every time I use tapatalk I see it at least once.
*edit* I also remember seeing it flicker when using the Facebook app.

Storage is full

I have cm10.1 on my nexus 4. I suddenly got a message telling me my storage is full. I am really confused because android tells me it is full but I got a storage analyzer app that tells me I only used 6gb(this is about what I think I used). Can someone please help me.
I couldn't get the screenshots to upload here so that is why I have the links below.
Thanks in advance.

It's broken. Now donate the phone to me.

Do you have any Nandroid backups on your phone? They don't show up in that storage tab in settings. They are also pretty big files.

What should it look like?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
no clue.. did not think it should use the same or sometimes more battery than slacker?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
your slacker radio is 23%, so your mediaserver is completely ok. usually, mediaserver will use more than the actual music app.
thanks.. just wanted to be sure that there was no issue.

How to kill media server battery drain

For the longest I've had this Media Server issue that would drain my battery by 35% or more and I think I may have figured out how to kill this S.O.B. Go to Settings>under account select Google>click on account> then where it says Google Play Music let it sync once then unselect it.. Haven't seen in since..
Update: Also received this from user: @xdafoundingmember seems to have killed it completely. Thank you sir https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrr.android.mediaserverkiller

My nexus 7 did this and it was draining 38% battery. .. many ppl have this and not much fixes t other then wiping, .... this app is a savior
Sent from my LG-D803 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
got it!!
OK, so mediaserver was killing my battery too. I did some digging with the digging being geared towards media and serving information. Turns out, for me anyway, that the Google play store was using twice the amount if background data as it was foreground data so, I checked the box to restrict background data and vioala!!!! Mediaserver went from using over forty percent to, now, 3 percent. I've been on battery all day from 8am, it's eleven now and I'm at 81 percent writing this.
I had mediaserver killer set to kill on screen on and I had camera FC issues so I set it to intervals and now it's great. Just FYI for those who use it.

Battery suddenly drops to 0%

Hi,
Since about a week ago my nexus suddenly started to die at about 30-40%, it depends. I don't really care about the fact that my battery is empty, but the fact that it happens on 30% and I don't receive a notification at 14% is really annoying. Is there a fix for this?
I'm running Aicp with stock Aicp kernel.
EDIT: Since I stopped charging my battery percentage hasn't changed for about half an hour.
Edit 2: I rebooted and now it's 41%.. Really strange
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's getting worser now, it usually turns off when it's around 40% and around 50% I lose connection with mobile network and can't connect any more. I've tried different radio's but had no effect. I'd really like to know how to fix this. Or is the only solution to buy a new battery?

Take the back off the phone and see if your battery is bulging. This sounds like a battery issue. I had similar symptoms on my last phone. I took the battery out and spun it like a top.

Yeah I had it with my old galaxy Y too, my battery became so fat the battery cover didn't fit any more. But that happened slightly, this came out of nothing.

Haha, I was with friends and suddenly I noticed that I was able to spin my phone, and together with the fact that the battery was acting strange I thought it must have been swollen. And yesterday I saw a little lump.
