[HELP] Mediaserver Battery Drain + Heat

Mediaserver is just a generic category. You need to find out what app is using mediaserver. It's, as you might imagine, probably a media app e.g. audio or video player. An app like GSAM would help you track that down.
There is also an app that kills mediaserver every x hours. But it would be more effective to find the actual app that is the root cause.
.
Had the same problem. Happened to be some youtube-downloaded videos that I had recently downloaded and were somehow corrupted. Renamed then to .old and mediaserver disappeared right away. I've heard it also happens with big m3u or playlist files.
Hope this helps.
I just had this problem for 2 days. Media server is sipping the phone's battery at 45%. First, I tried turning off the phone and restart but it didn't solve the problem. But just this morning, when I was not connected to wifi, the media server disappeared. Then when I reconnected, it was completely gone (well, for now). That's just my observation. I have microsd with lots of data and media but I did not delete any of them. It like it went away on its own. :/
If you have an external SD card it's easy to reproduce the problem, just mount / unmount and you will see it starting / stopping. With internal you can backup the whole card and start deleting folders till it stops. It is cause of a faulty file, you just have to find it
I had the same problem, 45% battery used by media server on galaxy s5 stock rom. I solved problem by finding corupted file on micro sd card. I had 5 GB on micro sd. I have created folder name "backup" on internal storage. Then I select all files on sd and moved it to internal memory in "backup" folder. It took some time. At the end is says that it can't move two files. All other files were moved. Those to files were corrupted. The files which remains on sd card were videos taken with phone and when you tried to watch them they were freezing. I have format micro sd and at the end move everything back from backup folder to sd. Problem solved.

need your advice on this, I've just unbox my Galaxy Note few days ago, it keeps rebooting itself, one time I was copying data from the SD card to the other storage in the phone suddenly it reboots. I've had unknown reboots. Now using XXLA4 and seems doesnt solve the issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure all your applications are licated on internal SD

Have you tried changing sd cards?

yep they are all on my internal SD ... any ideas> Thanks
1 Does it happen after you load your applications or on a clean Rom as well? Could be a app that's causing it.
2 the xla 4 install could have been a bad flash. Did you check the MD 5?

Do one thing just clear your dalvik cache.. i was facing same thing...
so now at the moment my note is in constant reboot mode, don't know if I should let it, I haven't root my devices yet I tried every method available on this homepage but doesnt seem to work at all. I tried installing some games on my note this morning, it failed to download and ever since that it reboots all the time. Any suggestion?
Edit: Now it stops rebooting when I plugged in the USB charger but it says the temperature of the battery is too low or too high and it doesn't charged

welcome to the club, i am in the same boat.
my phone works fine all times without sd card but sometimes goes crazy (restaring / freezing constantly for 7-8h non stop!) with sd card in situ.
some of my apps are on internal 1.9gb memory, some on internal 11gb memory, some on external card. trying to figure out how to force on stock unrooted device to force all apps to internal memory (1.9gb or 11gb) to prevent these issues. or will try new card. my old card works fine on my htc desire. dont know if the htc folders present on sd card are causing soem issues
have tried with apps2sd pro and stock app mnager to move apps to internal 11gb memory. but the phone has a mind of its own and some stay on 1.9gb internal memory some go to 11gb internal memory and some go to external sd card and i cant seem to force moveable apps to internal 11gb memory only instead of sd card as mentioned in the other concurrent thread today on this topic.
Hi,
I also had similar problem like this. It appears that the Android Program at times cannot seem to access the Ext SD card program/s installed and that will cause a reboot and repeated so.
I really do not why this is happening? It will seem to work fine ant reboot when the Ext SD is removed - but those programs installed in the Ext. SD will no longer be accessible.
There is a hidden folder in the Ext. SD ".android_secure" which contain all the programs transferred to that Ext. SD. If you empty this folder of it programs by transferring them to your PC and reinsert the Ext. SD card, it will function normally and you can access your file like photos, videos, music, and ebooks. But you will not be able to access your programs in the Ext. SD.
I had tried un-installing the apps in the Ext SD and re-installing them into Phone memory it will work but it will not transfer to Int. SD (the 11 GB) and keep informing me there is no Ext SD. This of course will eat up all the 1.9 GB of the Phone memory, which is not what I had wanted. Although I still have a lot of memory in the Int. SD (about 8 GB) it will not transfer there, why I am not sure.
Can some of the Android expert please look into this problem and advise. Thank you.

Hi,
How do you make sure all the Apps are located in the Internal SD?
I have an Ext SD and some apps are transferred there. I cannot transfer these apps into the Int SD.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstall them without the Ext SD and then try to transfer to Int SD. It will not transfer and a message "you do not have an Ext SD card"
Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
I don't have any apps installed on the internal SD nor external SD, I notice this that everytime an app failed to complete (eg loading) it goes to looping reboots. The last one I was playing some game something called mission, cannot remember the game name, it was loading all the time then I decided to switch it off and turn it on again. It goes constant reboot. I need a good phone which doesn't rebooot all the time ...

Do you think this is worth to try? Since I am planning to go to Samsung today and saw some posts that it has possibility an error on the CPU. I have a couple of friends who also have the Note and nobody has the problem like I do ...
Edit: Oh and I did the factory wipe last night too but it still doing the reboots, finally I plug out the battery, plug it again and leave it for a half an hour then it stops rebooting ...

Its seems like you had an issue with leakage current on cpu. Its caused the battery drain fast and heat up. The only solution is to change the main board. Well, this is use to happen on htc phone. Not sure on sammy phone

yeah my phone also used to reboot after some time... the problem i found was the installation of an app called es file explorer... i disabled the app and it works flawlessly...so some of the app on your phone might be causing you the problem...

Hi guys... my battery started draining really fast these last few days. Media is using up my battery. The included packages it says:
DRM Protected Content Storage
Media Storage
Downloads
Download Manager
I just use the 7 just to web browse and read books, don't really watch or listen to anything. I'm rooted on Glazed rom. The battery was phenomenal for a while but now that Media thing is keeping the CPU going all the time and draining the battery in a few hours.
Anyone have a clue what to do? I searched a few other threads but couldn't find any real solutions. Should I just do a full wipe and start fresh? Thanks for any help
There is a running thread about the Media Server battery drain which may be of intrest.
Mediaserver battery drain help
ETA: There is also the following running thread in the Nexus 7 General forum...
Media Scanner eating the battery on my N7
I have the Galaxy Note 2. My battery used to be at 40% after 15 hours of continuous use because the battery is 3,100mAh. One day I started noticing "Media" consuming 30-50% of my battery drain and the phone was always getting hot. I thought I solved the problem a couple days ago, but it came back and I couldn't figure out how to delete this post, so here's an update lol.
Things I've tried
I tried using Titanium Backup and Freezing "Media," "Downloads," and a couple of other apps/services/processes, but that usually had no effect, or just crashed other apps.
I tried downloading F5 Media Scanner and freezing my media scanner, but I got impatient and just uninstalled it. My media never showed up, and I didn't know what I was doing.
Some people said Google Play Music was causing it, but that only seemed to run "Media Service," not "Media." I disabled "Automatically cache" just to be sure. I guess I can re-enable it and monitor now.
I found a couple corrupted video and image files on my SD card. They might have been the cause? I used ES Explorer and noticed some pics and videos didn't have thumbnails generated... that's how I spotted them.
I also deleted a couple of "temp.43223523" files. They were some things I was downloading from the Internet browser, but I must have lost connection or something... and the files were left behind.
I tried renaming some of my pics that had ridiculously long names like "e62352_3423525.23542.jpg" to "pic34.jpg."
I moved all my Titanium backup files (1,300) and ROM backups to my computer and deleted them off my phone.
My Solution?
I placed an empty ".nomedia" file in every folder on my SDcard and ExtSD (and reboot phone). That seemed to actually solve the problem. I've been gradually deleting the .nomedia files with ES File Explorer (and rebooting). You have to enable "Show Hidden Files." Any file starting with a period is hidden.
When you reboot your phone, I think "Media" scans your SD card automatically. So this is how I investigated: 1. Reboot, 2. Charge the phone to 100%, 3. Unplug charger and periodically check my battery status.
Conclusion
The .nomedia solution seems to work when you reboot your phone and maybe clear your "Media Storage 4.1.1..PALJ1 (PLAYLISTS)" with Titanium Backup by hitting "Wipe Data." I enjoy the piece of mind knowing I don't have all these random pics and **** from various apps being scanned continuously at all hours of the day or on each reboot, cluttering up my gallery/playlists. If you're not going to use this solution, I might suggest limiting the number of files on your phone. Making several Titanium Backups resulted in 1,300 files probably being scanned a few times a day. I have 900+ pics and videos I've taken and 10gigs of videos downloaded on my phone and I think I solved my problem. Now my phone is cool to the touch and after 4 hours of use has only dropped 20%.
Create the file with notepad -> save as ".nomedia" or find it somewhere else on your memory card and copy/paste it.
I tried your solution and it seemed to have worked but the problem is that if you put a .nomedia at your sd cards your music images and galleries will be empty
Morning ladies and gents, apologies if this is a duplicate post but this one has me stumped.
Since yesterday when copying some video files to my galaxy note 3, the phone has started over heating and draining the battery.
This happens whether the phone is in use or in my pocket hence the title of the thread.
I deleted the video files i copied, ran a full scan removed any heavy use apps and 3 times it has had a full charge in the last 24 hours and it overheats within seconds. I did a soft reset, left the battery out for a while and again overheating.
Is there something obvious I am missing, the phone doesnt appear to lag at all, just get really hot.
It has been suggested I do a backup then full factory reset, but this seems a tad drastic. Can anyone suggest anything to help?
Thanks Everyone
Could it be something to do with that indexing thing that Android does?
Google it
Hmmmmm

Thanks fella, found a whole thread, looks like combined issues of SD card, pdf files and indexing.
Found a 1gb of PDF's on the sd card deleting now to see what happens
Update 2
Also i noticed yesterday when copying the video files it converted first before copying, so i have deleted all files and I am testing at the moment
Update 3
ok so i have resorted to formatting the SD card, removing it from the phone and seeing what happens
not sure if it is a faulty SD card
if all else fails I will full factory reset and then pray
Make sure to drop a .nomedia file in every folder that you don't need to see in the gallery/music player. That excludes all files in that folder (and folders inside that folder) from the mediascanner and indexing service.

I am interested in this my Note 3 Sm-n9005 started over heating the other day. It got really hot I had my usb stick attached otg never had problems before...originally thought it was the rom (Dirty Unicorns latest 4.4.4 Kit kat) when the phone got hot really slow to respond. I disconnected the usb.....factory wiped, then dalvick and cache. rebooted and still heating up really rapidly. Noticed OTG not working, then flashed samung based rom Omega 24 all is well no heating up, however OTG still not working.
Then restored Xnote 21 rom all good no heating up issues.....still no OTG...... phone working fine. But wonder if heating up has caused hardware issue....any help appreciated
Every time I look at the battery info under settings, when I open the detailed consumption info it tells me "media server" has used 50 or 60% of the power. There is no app named "media server". Does anyone know what the heck this is and why it is eating the battery? (I have the BTV-W09 model from amazon, and it is running EMUI 5.0 and android 7.0)
Media server scans your sd card & internal memory for music and photos in order to index it. If it drains the battery, it could have gotten stuck due to some corrupted file it can't index. Another cause is using torrent and having lots of incomplete torrented files, those will bug out the indexing process.
I took out the external sd card and this nonsense did indeed go away, but the weird thing is all I did with the card was format it and put a single .wma music file on it. No one else in the world has a problem with that .wma file, so if it was causing the media server to go berserk, there be bugs there . Thanks for the info. I guess I'll avoid the external card for now.
Well, it went away for a while, but then it came back even without the external SD card. Googling this seems to indicate that lots of folks have this problem with random runaway media server eating all the power. I've now used the biggest hammer I could find without rooting: I've placed a ".nomedia" file at the highest point in the directory tree that was writable (and also in the root of the external SD card and put the SD card back in the tablet). So far this has worked (with the minor side effect of hiding all the sound effects so I no longer hear the "deedle-deedle" when I plug in the charger).
I have an issue about the battery. I left my phone in my bag while working, after 7 hours, my phone died. I thought it was broken or something. But when I tried charge my phone I founf out that ran out of juice. It's just weird because I left my pphone in the bag with 63% left. It's not like this before.
Here are some information about my phone
- Stock rom
- I already updated the May patch
- Not rooted or anything
And oh, when I went to the battery section. This showed up (attached image), media.extractor draining about 40% of my juice. Anyone else encountered this? Let me know if you got some remedy for it. Thank you guys!
I was reading forums and it can be caused by some corrupted file on SD card, because looks like this app scans media files. Try removing your SD card (if you have one). If that doesnt help, try moving all your media files to your PC. Then look if drain continues.

I browsed some forums and all of them said that it is some corrupted file on your storage.
