Since upgrading to ICS ROMs, on several occasions I notice that mediaserver keeps the phone from sleeping FOREVER, takes over 80% of my battery. Contrary to several other reports of mediaserver wakelock, I do not have a corrupted media file on the SD card. The wakelock does seem to happen after using Gallery, however.
The only way to stop that, is to do a “clear data” on the Media Storage package. However this also clears my notification tone and ringtone settings in *all* apps, which is not acceptable.
Does anyone else have the problem, or know a workaround?

Issue seems gone after following the suggestion. But I'd like to test more to confirm.
EDIT: Issue still exists. Even after freezing Gallery and disabling Picasa sync.
So I had another one yesterday, even with Picasa sync turned off. I'm switching off Music sync, hoping that could be the cause...
any new info on this one? my galaxy nexus has the same problem! Running 4.0.4

Still having the problem. Even after I disable music sync...a reboot fixes it but the issue comes back at random times later.
An experiment to try is temporarily poping out your sdcard and rebooting your phone. Maybe something on your sdcard is causing problems. Another experiment is to put your phone in a place you won't touch for a few hours, and reboot it. See if it happens during an overnight test run.

has anyone else noticed that if you go to the battery usage on the S4G it shows the phone as always awake? check the graph. it's really strange!
perhaps this could be linked to some of our heat/battery issues? the phone is not sleeping correctly?
You have a rogue program that isn't shutting down. Now you need to figure out what it is.
When I had this it was VTOK since that program never shut off.
Go to Settings> Applications> Running Services and look at the times that everything has been running and try to figure out which one doesn't belong
HTC watch can be a culprit too

I practically uninstalled every application that had an associated service, disabled everything from startup that I could find and the issue persists.
The only way I can get it to not be always awake is if I disable data completely... not background data, or autosync, but all data. no 3G, no 4G, no Wifi, nothing.
As soon as wifi comes on, I get a "sync" circle in my status bar (despite the fact that all sync is disabled on my phone), and the problem returns. The only active connections are to Google IPs (as shown by a netstat from the terminal), looks like gtalk/market ports...
I'm stumped.
I'm going to update the market, see if that helps.
EDIT: it didn't.
Just an update:
Downloaded ATK from the market, there seems to be a lot running for a phone I just rebooted.
I killed everything one-by-one, none of them made the sync icon go away.
There was only one that I could not kill... Watch.
... it also has a service that will not die either....
but if it's watch, surely someone else out there has the same issue?
HTC watch was the issue with mine, it took some time until i figured it out

My Sensation XE is really laggy because of Google+ (EsService). How can I tell? Well, I found out late by running a CPU % monitor. Google+ didn't show up much activity, only spikes. But I discovered that once I killed the EsService from Google+, my phone was practically VERY fluent and fast. Has anyone encountered this? I'm using a Stock ROM.
Another peculiar situation: everytime syncing occured my phone would almost freeze every 2 seconds. I discovered that Google+ spend a lot of time syncinc so i disabled it. After disabling it, I no long experience this issue while sync occurs.
tried clearing cache?

if you have put a lot of apps to sync while connecting to internet try to disable any that are unnecessary or
maybe many apps are running in the background
me personally i am using also app quarantine app to lock some apps that i don't need(most system apps)

I just told you that Google+ was the problem with sync. Everything's ok after I removed it from sync.
Have you tried removing all the bloatware etc? Use Startup Manager and disable any crap.

I don't got many bloatware, but they are disabled in any case. This only happens when i see the EsService in task manager, it doesn't appear ONLY at startup, so a startup manager won't help.
I removed Google+ and now my phone has been like revived. Finally no more "lag" spikes.
I'm a newbie, so please bare with me if I miscommunicate something.
I know there are tons of posts regarding this issue, and I'm sure I've read every possible one I can find regarding the Android/Media Server/Battery Drain issue to no avail, so I'm hoping that someone has some other advice based on the following information.
I'm running 4.2.2 via CyanogenMod (10.1.2-d2vzw). I occasionally use GoogleMusic/Audible, and all was well until about a month ago when my battery just started to die for now apparent reason. A quick search turned up the Media Server issue (at the time Media Server was running at 53%). I tried rebooting/power off-on, but no luck. Randomly about three days after the battery drain issue started, it seemed to disappear and battery life returned to normal.
Now last week the issue has returned and then some. I wiped everything, reinstalling CyanogenMod, no wallpaper, and I purposefully left off any audio-apps, anything I could think of media-related to see if this made a difference, but it didn't. I then added back GoogleMusic/Audible, but MediaServer still hovers around 60% usage. The phone runs hot all the time, even when connected to Wifi/4G. I'm just at a complete loss at to what I can do.
I've attached screenshots if this helps at all. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Look through your SDcard look for any Pics or MP3s that are at 0KB that was my issue. once i removed all ofthe croupted pics my media server issue went away.
Thanks. I assume you are talking about my internal SD card? I unmounted my external SD card to see if that made a difference...its was negligible. Then only folder on my internal card that seems to really have anything in it is the "blobs" under ClockWorkMod, but there are over 3000 folders with files under it. Could it be somewhere in there? And if so, any suggestions on how to quickly find it? Thanks again.

I would say nandroid and backup internal sd card. Then do a clean wipe and format of internal sd. Restore nandroid and then copy back data that you need from backup. ( if a file gets corrupted while playing it can cause media scan to hang up and keep goung over and over it. Option 2 (a short fix) downloaad rescan media root from play store and run. I always select disable a second time then close it. If you add media and it doesn't show up run rescan and enable then see if it shows up. if so run again and disable.

I have this issue no matter the ROM; TW and AOSP it doesn't matter. I've formatted my SD card in both a PC and in the phone. I have 25+ gigs of music and video on my sd card and I'm not going through that to find the culprit. The only thing I can get to stop this is an app in the market called "Rescan Media Root". It stops the media scanner and the drain. Unfortunately (and obviously) you have to be rooted.
Fixed by changing a developer option
I'm running LiquidSmooth 10,2 and was able to fix this by unchecking "Scan for media at startup" in developer options.
I'm not totally sure as to the downside of this, I've not noticed any difference in how or where my media is displayed but it does get rid of the battery draining service that runs all the time. YMMV of course.

The only downside to that is if you put new music n your device your music player may not see it unless you manually scan for media.

I also had a corrupt JPEG from the screenshot folder. I'll find out later if deleting it helps the battery drain. But how I found it was kind of neat: plug it into a Windows 7 machine with a micro-USB cable, open up Windows Explorer and use the search bar in the top right to search for files of empty size. It found several other files too, but that was the only media-looking one.

How to stop Media drainig your battery
I had "Media" on the first place in battery chart (under Settings). It was caused by "face recognition of my friends" inside all photos and videos I put inside my phone and MicroSD card. This could be simply disabled by going to Gallery application (Samsung's default tool for viewing photos and videos). Go to main home screen (press main hardware button in the middle under display), then touch Apps (should be in the lower right corner of your display), find Gallery (by sweeping left/right), inside Gallery press Menu button (left softkey), choose Settings and there disable "Tag buddy" and "Face tag". You may unset (switch off) all "Cloud sync" too (probably Dropbox sync at least) - touch it and switch off all syncs (Pictures, Videos, Documents). You may try to enable something and check out your battery chart in Settings again (you have to fully recharge to reset battery usage chart under Settings).
Hope it helps.

Thank you so much! I just got a S3, updated to 4.3, all of a sudden the battery would die with in hours. I have the media server bug, no sd card (yet), factory reset the phone, still had the issue. I just tried the above, Gallery settings then disabling those couple things. So far (3 hours in) media server isn't on my "battery" list. Hope this is the fix for me!

Yeah, nvm. It worked for about 6-8 hours. I woke up and Media Server has used a crap ton of battery/resources :/ ugh. I'll try the fixes thread.
Media Server handles all apps using WiFi/Mobile Data for sync/update purposes. If you have any RSS readers installed, or if you have auto backup enabled in apps like Google+/Photos/Goggles, turn them off.
It reduces the CPU usage and you'll have normal battery life again.
Check the screenshot
I listed to some music for 2 hours this morning and media server was upto 44 present that's from listing to music off my external sd card, is that normal?

Often your Media scanner can misbehave and eat lot of CPU, Battery un-wantedly.
I had been digging out how to fix it, and here are my solutions. Perhaps try al of them, it would definitely relieve your cpu and battery usage by large. Solution works on any Android version:
Solution 1. Clear media storage data
Settings > applications > Media Storage > clear data, force stop and reboot.
Solution 2. Remove unwanted media files
Navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails and delete all files. Repeat for external sd card.
On AOSP roms, Android gallery creates too many of thumbnails that later becomes problematic for media scanner.
Solution 3. Analyze and delete excessive media files
Find out what files are causing media scanner to go mad.
Use any sdcard analyst (I use ES file manager > menu > Sd card analyst) to determine which directory has lots of files/subdirectories inside it. Any directory having >1000 files/folders is an alarmingly high number. Get rid of them (if you can).
step 3 is the easy way to solve it any noobers can do this.
mediaserver 50% of battery usage IMPOSSIBLE to stop this sh_t ....!!!!!!
kill mediaserver apk not working,no one of the suggested solutions worked on my case.......Until i used Root Booster 2.9 and applied battery extreme settings.....after reboot the problem with mediaserver drain magically disappered from my phone !!!!!!!!!!
Have a good day ahead everyone !!!!!!

Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me
I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?

I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.
This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

Hi,

Wipe the cache partition. Only other thing that works is to power it off for a few minutes and back on (not a restart).

I thought it was just me. It's very annoying. Probably happens 75% of the time.
Conflicting apps?
I've got the same issue with my HTC U11, clearing the data and cache hasn't helped me, nor did a turn off - turn on.
I have fixed sync issues with other apps by ruling out widgets and other apps with continued activity on the home screen or notification bar.
Background processes originating from a downloaded app could also be a cause.
Happy to get some help!
