[Q] Problem with process "Multimedia" in Battery - Kitkat 4.4.2 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I've looked everywhere on the web for an explanation of what has been happening since long time ... but I have not found anything.
Why I find into processes that "suck up" battery always "Multimedia" on top level?
I do not understand what could depend on .... moreover the percentage increases more and more during the days.

In the second picture there are 3 packages inside. I exclude the first two because I'm not downloading anything but I think it may depend on "Archivio multimediale".

I have a 32 GB MicroSD with stored music, videos and photos (many) but I thought that once phone start and it runs "multimedia scan" in background should no longer affect the battery consumption after it will be finished.
Please give me an explanation.
Thank you!

I woke up this morning to the same exact problem.
My phone went from fully charged down to 15% while I was sleeping in a little extra. 3 hours and it was dead.
Since then I have installed a few items. Particularly the Apollo app that CM makes you use.
The multi media crap has so far stopped.

Hadn't really noticed a huge drain though.
Edit: I'm running DCv1.
Just checked mine. I'm at 88% display and 12% cell standby. Running Darchtrev v2.
Using DC v1
Cell Standby 70%
Phone Idle 20%
Display 8%
Android System 2%
im right there with you ajones. anybody have ideas as to why this is? i havent really seen a difference in battery life though. could just be a glitch.
Did you guys open the camera before you checked?
no. its been like that for a while. last time i used the camera was last night.
Not right before... I did use my camera today though.
I don't like telling people this because you can get in trouble by closing the wrong thing but... try a task killer and make sure the camera is completely closed.
Many Roms come with Astro of ES File Manager and those have a task viewer/killer built in.
i tried that. didnt see the camera as one of the running processes.
Maybe its an app running like goggles or barcode.
just checked. only thing that i could think of to have a hold on the camera is handcent and the messaging app. closed those. ill see what happens
*update*
so that didnt do anything. still reading at 93%. anybody have any ideas or are we just out of luck?

Graph "gaps"/"skips" in Battery Usage

I noticed threads and questions about those gaps in the battery usage info graph, and had them too a couple of times. Every time my phone would crash and reboot, those gaps would appear !
Today i accidently stumbled on a possuble explanation of this:
I'll add some screenshots aswell; so in my current battery history, in the first screenshot i think (the stock statistics), i have two gaps, one big, and one smaller earlier. So, i turned off the phone and PULLED OUT THE BATTERY aswell cause i wanted to check my batteries mAh (its 1650 but thats offtopic). Thats how the small gap appeared, because i went and checked the graph immediatly. As for the big one, my phone seemed to crash and reboot while i didnt notice, because in an hour or so of no using i woke it up and it asked for the SIM PIN.
Also as a note, in the Battery Usage where is tells what apps ate how much battery, is written that the screen ate only ~30% instead of the usuall 60% ! Another sign of data loss.
So there, i think the phone crashes or something and doesnt manages to save the battery data, and those gaps ("falls") appear.

[Q] can someone explain to me about battery info?

Hi guys, I never really understood the meaning of those hours when i click on my battery status. On the pic shown, it says: 1H 10m 29s on battery. Can someone explain to me what that means? It seems very low to me, and i just got my phone 2 days ago. It is the octa-core version i9500.
I also see that media takes up most of the battery, and I dont know what that is.
Plz explain?

It just means your phone is for 1H10M29S unplugged from the power plug :fingers-crossed:
If you click on media you can see which apps are contained in media and stressing your battery.
having wifi on, and using my phone for normal usage and its allready 77% in just 1 hour... I hope the battery does improve as what some people say if you have a new device.
In 3 hours i have a loss of 7% while using Whatsapp and Instagram, 3G is activated.
Did you activate auto. Sync (Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Samsung stuff), Gestures, AirView and so on permanently? If so, please switch them off, this will help for a longer battery runtime (only if you dont need them all the time).
How a about the display brightness? automatic oder manual setting?
#offtopic What is that font & needed to root to change it?
#ontopic The time will not reset after you plug it in for a short time.

battery is draining twice faster

Hey everyone,
my Note 4's battery (SM-N910F) is draining really fast. I bought 3 new batteries (1 samsung from their site and 2 rav power) and my battery still only holds for like 3 to 4 hours (instead of the whole day as before).
Can you help me figure out a fix?
Thanks !
Android 6.0.1 is running.
Version number MMB29M.N010FFXXU1DQL2.
Baseband N910FXXS1DQA1
3 -4 hours when using it? That is great. However, if standby is affected then you need to see what is running in the background and affecting the battery. Use BetterBatteryStats and or Gsm Battery monitor

no, 3-4 hours when almost not using it ! Before, the battery was lasting all my work day. Now at lunch, it's done.
I installed Gsm battery monitor, here's what I get:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do a search on android system battery drain and try some of the fixes. Something is running causing the drain. Google or other backup or something constantly syncing etc.
Finally, I did a full factory reset and now the battery is back to normal!

WhatsApp / Facebook on background alot of the time

Hey guys,
I bought OnePlus 6T last week, so far I'm really liking the phone but there is something strange with the battery stats:
I charged the phone yesterday to 100% before going to sleep, then left it out of the charger to see how much it would use, in 9 hours it used 5% (it's okay, but maybe it could be better?), the strange this is, from the dump file from BBS attached, you can see that WhatsApp and Google play services were using sensors all the time, what's is happening with them?
Also, on the process tab, it's showing Telegram on top, what does it mean?
Now, after 30% being used with 2.4 screen hours, I can see these stats on these stats on the battery menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Facebook used 13% with 1:36 hours in use and 13:25 in background
Telegram used 7% with 0 in use and 0 background (I didn't even open it today)
WhatsApp used 2% with 19min active and 4 hours in background
Can anyone help with what might be happening here?
I attached a dump from BBS from the moment I wake up (idle) and from now.
Thanks.
Facebook app is just a rubbish. It's known for draining battery
Yes I know Facebook drains lots of battery, but that does not explain why it's running so much time in the background, I have checked other people phones and they do not experience such thing, this is probably something with my phone
get rid of the facebook app...problem solved, and you will have a happier life..
