I'm having an issue with media draining my battery at 55 percent usage. I was moving over a nandroid backup from my internal sd to external sd card when this issue occurred. After formatting my external sd card the media is still at high percentage. Even after removing my sd card from the phone the usage is still high. Anyone know how to fix this?
I get that every time my phone boots up too. It just started doing that on Saturday for me. I found out that if you go into your battery usage stats and select it (after the phone has been running for a few minutes), select it, and then force close it, that I'm good-to-go until I reboot my phone again. I'm not sure why it started doing that, but at least I found an easy "fix" for it.

What the media drain is is its scanning and organizing databases for your info on your sdcards. give it a few hours to do its thing and it'll go away. If not then just keep it on the plug for a couple hours and it should be good when you unplug it

There's an app called, rescan media root. Maybe try that.

What's the problem your having exactly? Is the app not working? Is the battery showing bad readings? Or something else

Lol well do you run a lot of apps that stay open in the background? Example, widgets, twitter, social networking sites, games(especially wordswithfriends) that constantly runs and horribly sucks battery
Also try turning off wifi, gps, bluetooth, sync, and brightness whenever you don't need them.

I need to re-calibrate. I was getting 30+ hours on stock for months. After installing a custom rom, I only got <20 hours until I recalibrated, then I was back up to ~30 for a couple weeks, but now it is back down to ~20. I hate how it seems like after you recalibrate a new phone once, you have to keep doing it. I also don't know why some people don't get anywhere near the awesome battery life my SK4G gives me (best of 7 android phones I have used).
Anyway:
Method 1) Fully charge to 100%. Reboot into recovery. Unplug. Clear battery stats. Do not re-plug until phone is dead (or at least almost dead). Better to let it charge to 100% before unplugging again. Then use as normal.
Method 2) Download "Battery Calibration" free from market. Then run it and follow it's instructions.
my batter life sucks
A new thing killing my battery is media server. Whats that

Are you referring to media hub? If so, you can freeze or uninstall it.
Wow, this just jumped up for me as well. For the last day and a half my battery life has been brutal. This morning I'm down 16% in 45 min. despite not using my phone.
Looks like two apps are the culprits: Media and Media Server. Can anyone tell me how I can determine what is forcing these to run?
I thought I could correlate it to installing a free Amazon talking book, 'cause after installing it this weekend my media server never seemed to shut off and I had to reboot to kill it. But I uninstalled the app last night with no improvement.

That is so curious, I have nothing like that even on my radar. Are you guys using debloated roms?

FWIW, this isn't a new issue, just new to me. Quite a few theories as to the cause.

Looks like some have had success removing all media files from their SD cards. Doing this piecemeal sounds pretty daunting to me - seems like every app folder and subfolder has at least images in it. Think I'll wait til next time I flash to start fresh. If this battery drain keeps up it will probably be in the next couple hours

Are apps that use the media scanner working properly? Apps such as music, camera, gallery, etc?

Everything else seems to work fine for me. This is driving me crazy. I formatted my SD card, but no improvement. Media Server continues to run. I then wiped once, but still it's running. Been running Silver's ICS for a week with no issues at all, then this started two days ago.
Next up I'm gonna wipe 3x, then dalvik wipe, then reflash. ARRRRGH!

Have you tried moving everything off of your emmc (internal sd) to your computer? Then reboot. I had a problem with media scanner doing that. I take it you never used the Odin one click?

Haven't used Odin on this SR (it's a two-week old replacement). I've only used Odin in the past to remove root. I'm at a loss here. I've formatted my ext. SD, wiped my phone numerous times, flashed 3 different ROMs today, and restored every app one-by-one so that I don't restore the data. Still media server runs like a top.
Is there a way to use Odin that's faster than removing root and starting over? I gotta fix this - I can't last 4 hours on a battery.

I know what you mean. Have you tried running fix permissions in rom manager? You have to install busybox from the market first, though.
Edit: Here's a link to a busybox installer:

Just finished fixing permissions and rebooted. I'm only 7 minutes into the battery monitor, but media server is still running over 50% of drain. Sigh, guess a trip to Odin is in order.
Huh. I was having a similar problem, and moving all the files from the internal sd card to my computer fixed it. And then I read somewhere that fix permissions would work too. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. Good luck!

I'm having trouble with the Media application as listed in the battery stats. It's using an ungodly amount of my battery power. This has happened across multiple roms, using Darkside Wipe and not using it. I've even gone as far as to use ODIN to go back to stock, and reroot and rom my device.
I'm currently using Team Wafflehouse's AOKP rom v4. Only thing I've done is install gapps and added my google account.
Staring at it right now, Media is at 48% of the battery consumption. This is directly after wiping battery stats + wiping cache and formatting emmc. I have no idea what's going on.
Any help?
EDIT:
I've since reinstalled my rom. Checking the usage. It seems to be skyrocketting, pardon the pun, as soon as I sign into my google account.
I've noticed the same thing every now and then, only since I flashed CM9, which was a few weeks ago now. Haven't figured out what's causing it, so I'd also be interested in some possible explanations.

Thought it might have been the cache for the Gallery's instant upload. Nope, still having same issue.
I'm stock and I don't even see media. I think it has to do with transferring files to and from your SD card.

Still happens even with the SD card removed.

You may have a corrupt file on your device that can cause the media scan to get stuck.
Have you tried wiping everything to new and just use the phone without installing anything or copying any files to it?
I'm sure this has been asked, but since the search function is down right now, I'll just ask in a new thread. How long should a NAND backup take? I am using CWM 6.0.1.0, and it's been churning for about an hour now. It's not stuck, and it's making progress, it's just really slow. I am backing up a ROM based on stock.
Admittedly, I am not using an ultra-fast SD card, but this still seems long to me. For those of you that flash a lot, do you typically backup to the internal or external storage? Is the internal storage perhaps faster than an SD card that is a few years old?
Thanks!
How many apps do you have on there? I know that that can make a difference. An hour seems long to me. It takes my DX about 8 or so minutes

Mine typically just a couple of minutes for both backup and restore. My Thunderbolt took an eternity.

i have made many back ups on my S3. I personly make 2 backups. 1 on the Internal SD and one on the External SD. i do them both at the same time. I do that just incase maybe my 32gig ultra card goes bad.
Takes me around 10 mins or so to do both. I have a lot of apps but they are not big in size. Have fun
