media server draining battery - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When using gsam battery monitor the majority of my battery drain is being attributed to "media server". I am on pure nexus and elemental kernel of that is relevant. If anyone has encountered this issue and knows of a solution I'd be really grateful.

Same here. I tried stock, chroma and pure nexus. It might have something to do with this: Battery Drain in February Patch

First things first. Did you do clean installs? Using fastboot commands? Have you restored apps and data via titanium or another app? If you're using elemental's kernel have you made changes to the governor/voltage? Have you wiped everything and started again with the same issues? Have you gone back to factory images with the same issues?

I have done numerous clean installs, I went back to complete stock.... fresh installation of all App's. I have tried using default settings in elemental X, then going back to complete stock and then trying with the preloaded govenor settings that elemental now natively supports.

[Q] How do I update my rom?

I am running aokp 4.4 kitkat nighly and I wanted to update. When I update without wiping anything on top of my previous rom it works, but my google play is missing. Also , my folders and widgets went away leaving me with only gallery and setting on the main page. Google now was not there either.
How do I update without losing my data?
Do i have to wipe anything before flashing?
Thank you in advance
Gapps are stored in system which is formatted when you update, you have to flash gapps again.
Nightlys are not really for normal use so you shouldn't have any data that you're worried about losing on there.

I would think about trying another rom. You should be able to dirty flash an update for the rom that's already on your phone without losing anything.

Some nightlies can be a daily driver, just have to pick a developer who is well known for their work and not someone who just started learning last night!
Sure, you have to start somewhere, but I think you know what I'm saying.

[Q] Random app crashes on Lollipop (OA8)

I upgraded my VZW S5 from 4.4 (NK2) to muniz's stock, rooted 5.0 (OA8), with the wifi tether hack. Ever since the upgrade, some apps will randomly crash - I can recall contacts, Pandora, and the March Madness apps all giving me the "Unfortunately, XXXX has stopped" popup.
I wanted to know if anyone else has had these issues, and if this is a known issue w/ OA8. For Pandora and the March madness App, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall. I have also tried to clear data on the apps that have crashed, and have tried to perform a battery pull. Unfortunately, these methods don't seem to resolve the issue.
If anyone else has experienced these issues, and/or has a potential fix for these random crashes, it would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping that i don't have to reflash everything, but it's more important to me that I get my phone working without these random crashes.

I have the same problem. I get random app FC's and the system becomes sluggish after being on for a few days.

I got tired of the random FC's so I reverted back to 4.4.4. I am now running Rick's ROM (NK2).

Did you wipe everything but your SD card before install and do a factory reset after, then flash the OA8 kernel? Also, sometimes, if you go into application settings, force stop, clear data and start again, it will help... this has been an issue with contacts, but the cleared data will clear it up.
When going from NK2 to OA8, don't restore programs, since OA8 ART is so different. Just reinstall the programs and allow Google to restore your data.

Yes - I did a full wipe and did not restore any programs. I also tried the force stop/clear data method that you mentioned but the random FC's kept coming back.
I'm back on 4.4.4 (NK2) and, thus far, no issues w/ the FC's.

Same problem..Whatsapp, spotify and i think other apps too even with every power manager setting turned off keep being killed by the power manager itself. A reboot fix the problem but it comes again few hours later. No solution for now. I tried every possible thing to fix it. The last thing i did was disable these apps packages from the doze list via ADB. Still not sure if it works.
I too am having the same issue. It comes and goes, but is overall unreliable. I have turned off all power saving features for Whatsapp but sometimes it still happens.
Thread on the ZTE site.
Did any of you restore whatsapp from titanium backup? If so, that's your issue
I am also having this issue. Disabled all the power saving settings. I have to un-install and re-install Whatsapp every few days to resolve this issue.
same problem..
no fix yet.. restart sometimes work sometimes it does not.
Perhaps convert the app to a system app when rooted f.e. with link2sd. Set power savings if possible again to a minimum,reboot and test. Might help.
Anyone ever resolve this issue?, I need to stay on marshmallow
This is not a stock rom issue. It happened on literally every rom that I used. To fix it you have to reinstall the whole system.
It happened on certain installs of ROMs on my old Moto G2. AICP, CM13, CM14.1, AOKP, you name it. As you may guess none of them had some failed power management system.

Having this problem on B25 (B32 just came out so I'll try that soon), but I did restore from Titanium. Never a problem on the LOS based ROMs. I'll try backing up chats, then uninstall, reinstall through google play, restore.. see if that works.

Slow performance

I have the Moto G4 Stock Android with ElementalX, Magisk and Xposed. The apps like gallery, YouTube, eBay, Firefox, Edge etc.... Were freezing up or taking a long time to load when pressing option within the app or browsing website.
I flashed back to stock, deleting, system, data, cache and Dalvik. Then installed ElementalX Magisk and Xposed. I restored my apps with titanium backup.
I thought that it would fix it, but I am still experiencing bad performance. I am not sure if it's xposed or the restore from titanium backup. The only thing I can think of doing is, going back to stock without ElementalX, root or any mods and test the performance.
Is anyone expiencing the same thing?

I would recommend to test without xposed and your mods at first(you already didn't mention what mods you're using).

I've had the same issue as well. Sometimes I wake in the morning, my phone has rebooted apparently, and all apps popup crashing. Once I restart the phone it is back to normal, at least until it happens again. I don't think it's Magisk, as I've had that installed since Day 1. My guess is that installing Xposed ~2 months ago is the culprit.
Sorry I don't have a solution, but similar experience.
You should try to test it without Xposed first. If that does not work try reconnecting your battery. It's probably because of the limited supply of power. Check with CPU-Z if all the cores are working properly. If not try reconnecting your battery. I have had lags and frequent shutting down on my G4 Plus. I tried reconnecting the battery and it's fixed now.
I'm experiencing it too. Not only the performance dropped, but also device is heating up like crazy. On stock not rooted

Maybe an process going roque. You can try booting to recovery and clear cache.

Nexus 4 keeps overheating during standard use.

I have a Nexus 4 with UnLegacy Android install and during normal use the phone keep heating up. How do I fix this.

Was the heating triggered after you flashed this ROM or anything else recently? Usually some recent action triggers this behaviour. If you installed something recently, uninstall that and check. Or clear Dalvik and cache and check. Sometimes even a restart will stop the heating.

Well I first noticed the temperature rising just while using TWRP and it continued after flashing the ROM. Also I tried clearing Dalvik and Cache and as soon as I boot into the system the temperature will begin to slowy rise.

Wipe everything and try a clean flash.
Is the battery new? If not, it could be a sign of old battery as well.
