If it's directtrack just reboot your phone after using any media player. if it's media storage disable it charge your battery up then r enable it send to work. What ROM are you on?
Sent from my S3 running Eclipse 2.1

I've been having this problem on Codename ROM, Liquid Smooth ROM, and BlackBean ROM regardless of the method you posted any other advice?

Direct track you'll just have to do a reboot. If its media storage you can download rescan media root from the market and then disable media scanner and re-enable each time you reboot. Or you can download rom toolbox pro from the market, go to autostart manager, and then search "media" itll bring up mediastorage, long press on that and select "advanced freezer" then disable and re-enable the first option under "services"

So Its the Media Storage service giving me problems and downloading the Media Rescanner didn't seem to work by I tried out the ROM Toolbox pro process and hopefully it works out too early to tell. But regardless of if it does or not thank you so much for replying. You are the only person here who offered help so much appreciated

Okay so it seems neither of the methods you gave me worked

I may have spoken too soon. I did reboot this morning (51 minutes ago), and now my battery is draining fast adn MEDIIA is at 55%.

i am having the same problem too

Did you just load this Rom? If so, give it a couple days.to adjust
stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!

[Q] Package installer won't work... can't press button

I just upgraded to cm7 and now sometimes when I try to install an app from an apk file it wont let me hit the install button.
If I am using Amazon appstore it works, the same type of screen comes up and I can install stuff. But when installing from a downloaded apk (like from here) the button just doesn't work... it isn't greyed out or anything but is simply unresponsive.
Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
Hey I have this same problem, did you ever figure out this issue? Thanks!
Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this issue, I'm having the same problem
Bump this
Problem persists on my phone as well. Brand new Droid X2 stock ROM rooted with zergrush kit including busybox, superuser, and recently installed: nobloat free, droidwall, SD Booster, blade buddy, spare parts+, and setcpu (which is pretty much useless without a custom ROM that has the kernel to support it)
Edit: make sure unknown sources is checked under app settings =]
Edit again: NOPE still a problem =[
Edit again: FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Simply turn off your screen filter! =D (I don't know why, but that WAS my problem 100%)
Hi all, I'm facing the same problem, but I don't have screen filter installed. What else have you tried?
Here's my main post about this.
I've also heard that Juice Defender can cause this problem. Sadly, like you, I still can't fix it on my phone!
Anyone?
AHA! I found mine! TEAM Battery Bar. It's a spectacular app; if you've not gotten it yet, I highly recommend it. I just turned it off within the app itself, (I checked running apps to give me a clue,) and the installer button worked.
After hearing about several display-related apps causing the problem, I looked for those on my phone. TEAM Battery Bar does indeed run a constant display item, so I think that's the key. I'll notify the dev. He's pretty responsive.
I can confirm: disabling TEAM Battery Bar solve the problem! thanks

Thanks, that fixed my problem on my Galaxy S2 with LPQ ICS rom. Probably should report it to the dev for fixing...
in my case Juice Defender was a problem, since I don't have any screen filters installed
uninstalling Juice Defender fixed my phone
EDIT Friend of mine has the same phone (SGS2) with the same ROM installed, JD never caused any problems with his phone
The only difference between my JD settings and his - I got brightness control enabled, so maybe that was a problem, not JD itself

I'm currently on SGS2 rooted stock LPQ and just figured it out myself that Screen Filter is actually doing something so that the install button cant be pressed. Has anyone informed the dev?
Edit: just mailed the dev of Screen Filter hoping for confirmation and fix
'Lux Auto Brightness' is causing the same issue, so seems that all the applications trying to adjust screen brightness will cause the issue.
By the moment I disable it, I am able again to install apks... really weird
Also, not clear why only the install button is effectively disabled, as cancel bitton works and the 'show all perms' drop down , also works

Good call! That was the exact app that was causing me problems as well. Here's hoping to a quick fix!

i encountered the same issue and after reading your post and searching hard on my n7000, i finally found what causes it...on my n7000 it was glove box. After uninstalling my phone is back to normal again

Thanks for all the infos, guys. For me, it was both Lux Auto Brightness and Twilight. I disabled them using task manager and everything went smoothly from that. Explains why no matter how much I reboot, it doesn't fix things. I also have avast Mobile Antivirus installed and it has a constant display notification but it doesn't cause any issues. I am guessing it has something to do with code wired to the phone's hardware? As all the apps causing problems had to do with overlapping device setting control over screen brightness or hue.

Music bug since the update of 5.1.1

Everytime when I turn off my screen while listening with headphones on or off, my music disrupts after a period of 6 seconds.
Now I have tried a various things to fix it, and strangely enough disabling the lock screen (any type of security ) fixes this issue)
Might any of you know a better alternative to make my life easier? I don't want to leave my phone insecured for the sake of listening to music.
Thank you.

Reflash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
Have you (TS) tried the solution provided above? I'm experiencing the bug as well. It's really irritating.
I managed to fix the problem by clearing the system cache. Just boot into odin, clear the cache and restart the phone.
(I didn't reflash the stock rom)
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for the reply. When you mean boot into odin, did you mean recovery? I have done that as well, but it seems that it didn't fix the problem for me.
To add another solution to this bug, I downloaded and flashed the stock ROM for my phone. Apparently, it fixed the bug.
Yes that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion. I might as well do the same. Thanks for the heads up !
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Heya, sorry to bring this topic back again to life. Apparently, the fix was only temporary. The bug reappeared after a few hours. I might try a clean install just to see if this gets fixed.
Edit: My device model number is SM-G920F

Do you have greenify installed and have the music app set to greenify? Also are you using the built in close app feature? The one found in battery stats. If so do you have the app set to auto kill? This feature kills all selected apps after a certain time of the screen being turned off.

I haven't installed Greenify yet on my S6. I had it on my S4, but it wasn't causing any problems at all. I checked the close app feature, and Music app wasn't placed there. The Music app crashes, it doesn't just close; without any warning message or whatever.
Update: I did a factory reset/data wipe via recovery mode, and used Odin to install a fresh 5.1.1. I tried the Music app, and it doesn't crash. I hope it wouldn't crash anymore.

Did the fresh install fixed the problem completely? I have it as well and it's super annoying, it will be super annoying to have to download my apps again but i will if it fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, it did not. To be exact, it fixed the problem for about a week, but the problem appeared again. Try using Power Amp music player, it's working well for me. I'm tempted to buy the full version after this trail version expires. Spending 1$ would be way better than getting annoyed all the time by the default music player.

Phone gets laggy everyday

Hi everyone,
My phone gates very laggy on daily basis. Something I never had on my Nexus 4. Not sure if this is ROM or Kernel related or something else completely. My RAM is not maxed out when this happens, and I really don't know how to troubleshoot/resolve this.
So far I tried I various Kernels, currently on bluspark. I always only used Chroma ROMs, so I'm not sure if I would get this behavior with other roms. I tried various schedulers and Read ahead buffer sizes.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.
Maybe flash back to stock MM for a couple of days to see what happens?

Yeah, was trying to avoid that since getting everything back takes some time even with google restore and titanium. I went ahead and flashed XtraFactory rom (close enough to stock I guess) and really wanted display manager to work so I flashed Blu_sprk Kernel. Phone already got laggy and eventually crashed... I'll set Governor to Ondemand and scheduler to CFQ (I believe that's stock settings) and see what happens....
If you have already constantly reflashed and nothing works fine try to go nuclear:
Reinstall firmware via adb or a toolkit, that fixed a lot of issues for me.
If you dont want to
I recommend you to free out RAM/Memory and Optimize the Database
try to use SD Maid, Go to settings > Quickaccess and enable duplicates
Settings > App Corpses and then check all
now run the quick access.. once everything is cleaned down reboot the device and see if it helped.
If nothing significant happened, factory reset but again if nothing happens i suggest you go nuclear and wipe everything out by reflashing firmware.
It's never laggy even after 2 years of everyday use.

It's ALWAYS laggy. Just a matter of perspective. The amount of power these phones have, I don't understand how we still have 5 skipped frames in every animation.

It cleaned up over 2gigs... Performance... Not sure. I changed ROM, kernel settings, and did the sd maid all within couple hours. Phone runs great. If anything, sd maid definitely helped in cleaning up unneeded files.

[Help Required] Android System ( System_server) drain battery issue (5.1.1)

I know I am not the first one to post about this issue. I have searched, not only on xda, but some other websites. I just cannot find a solution. I am running 5.1.1 non rooted Stock ROM. I have tried everything. Enabled and Disabled a lot of settings. Nothing seems to work. 20% for that Android System is just too much. It started a week ago. Today I have Installed "Quick System Info PRO" and it shows that some "System_Server" is eating battery due to a high usage of RAM and Proccesor. See attachments please.
I am thinkg about updating my OPO, but I am not sure if this will help.
Did you find a solution? Do you know how to fix this? Please share your knowledge with me.
I used to plug and charge my OPO once every day and a half. But now I have to live with my charger inside my pockets because I am charging my phone every 10 hours.
There are any other apps? Also, try with android 6.0, might fix something.
Hi @srsdani.
Thank you for your reply. No. There are not any other apps eating battery. Mostly because I am at work, I use Whatsapp.
I should also mention that the phone gets super hot for no reason, like when you are playing a game after a long time. (Due to the intesive CPU usage).

I'm thinking is OS-related. But by doing some search you will find a lot of people with same issue. Even non-OPO users. I'm gonna give it a try anyway.! Thank you for your reply.

try better battery stats and correct firmware and recovery , if possible do everything in fastboot inc flashing
So, yeah, I got the most expected update, installed and worked great... Until some issues showed up, like lockscreen freeze, and now the "you can't see you WiFi power consumption" issue. I'm mad, I know WiFi was taking a huge piece of my battery ( tried some suggestions) but now a bug report appeared, and this is what I face today
Before it was like this
What should I do now? A clean install ?

Don t fast reboot
Shutdown your device and power on
Reboot enable system drain
Disable from security settings google administrator
Cyanogen device manager does the same
Also cyanogen statistic are not used any more to lollipop
Do not use greenify apps from version to version update has opposite results
If you want better battery use apps that will disable sensors and locationwhen device sleep

Problem with audio breaking when playing something in background and lock, any help?

Hello!!
I have an issue with my Mate8, I really don't know if this is in all phones or just in mine....
It's when a song or a video is playing, and when the power button is pressed to lock the phone, the audio breaks for like half a second, but if you press the button again to unlock, it do it again, and everytime you press the lock button.... it kinda annoys me a lot.
The rare is that this only happens when the audio is coming from the speakers; when i have anything plugged in (headphones or whatever) it dissapear, and with bluetooth headphones dissapears too.
It happens with all apps, spotify, native app, soundcloud, vlc, poweramp...etc
Thanks a lot!!
Best regards, ElĂ­as.

I did have this problem previously after flashing a pre-rooted rom of version B320, but it went away after I flashed the stock rom back.
Since you haven't mentioned anything about custom roms and/or rooting, I'm going to assume you're on a stock rom at the moment, in which case I'd suggest a factory reset (backup data 1st of course)
If you're running a customized rom I'd suggest discussing it in whichever thread you got that rom from as the issue may be specific to that rom

It appears to be some setting in Nova launcher that caused this, i have to install/uninstall a lot to get into this, but 100% sure is some setting in nova, just did a clean reset of the phone and everything superb! reinstalled nova but this time, trying not to modify a lot like before and it's working perfectly.
