Hi, the other day i installed the JellyBean leak. And since that day, the battery had a GREAT life.
But, today, i don't know why (Well, yes, i do now why) my battery had a terrible life.
And, there's a curious process that is killing it.
It's name is: 'Mediaserver'.

Done! Let's see if that helps.
Any contraindications?
don't know but you might need to un freeze drm for i believe some type of files needs the service to be playable
why fix it if it ain't broken ?

Forget about my question. My english is bad, and i can't express myself right
I want to stop that process, because is killing my battery and i don't want to.
So, i freezed the process, and today i'll see if that process still bother me.
Edit:
Well @nikufellow, your answer didn't work. I freezed the DRM content. But, still drain the battery.
But, the good part, is that i desactivated the sync, and now, i think the battery is going great.
It was that all the time (i believe). The sync of the accounts.
Edit 2:
Mmm, nope. I was wrong. The 'mediaserver' process is in the top again, with 43% usage.
Are you using Google Play Music? Maybe experiment with that. Maybe disable sync for just that, or remove the app and see if anything changes.

If you have backups on the phone and they are in DUP change them to tar.

WOW.... does no one read or search on google anymore?
All you need to do to get the mediaserver app to stop "searching" your phone all the time and draining the battery, and using CPU, is to put a file in all your media folders on the phone that is empty and called .nomedia
Notice that there is a dot (period) before the filename, this is important.

I am not trying to be a jerk here, but with all the posts in here, and it appears that no-one even thought to google this, just irks me a little bit.
To the OP, create an empty file in all the directories on your SDcard named .nomedia, and see if that helps to stop the 'mediaserver' from eating CPU and battery. This has been an issue since the 1.8 days of android with certain file types and has only gotten worse over the years.

I already did all the pseudo-solutions that appears on google. And no one works. That's why i made this thread.
But, the solution that works for me, was, formatting the sdcard. That was the solution that i don't wanted to do.
You had the two solutions.
DRM freeze and tar instead of dup.

1. step go to location services on Settings!
Disable all of them
2. step Disable these applications, if you do not use any!
3. step go to "google settings"
And search location
and disable these
Enjoy longer battery life

Wow what a fix! I have a better one -
1. put phone in garbage
2. buy a nokia 3100
OR:
put phone on flight mode and use it ONLY to tell time.
And on a more serious note:
C'mon dude, are you serious?.. a "fix" means you don't loose any functionality of the device, what you did there was disabling almost every good and important feature that in the first place is the reason people buy these phones, so disabling them to get around a bug which drains the battery?.. that's.. well I don't need to say it.
And for the fix that does work - turn off "Location reporting" only - from my experience this will not make you loose any location based functionality as I use every thing that has to do with locations, Google can still tell where I am, and Google now still tells me time to work\home, flight times, packages dispatched, weather updates etc. turning "location reporting" off fixed the Google services battery drain issue I had, and I still turn it on from time to time to see if Google had fixed this, last time I checked it was still draining the battery.

I think the guide is not for u, mate.
But this guide is for people who wants to prolong the battery life.
Location reporting is one of the main battery factor on an android device.
I personally don't use it as I don't want any apps (facebook, etc) to do this and I have disable more google-related things than what the OP has posted.
Are you for real or is this just some kind of joke?
Firstly, this fix isn't a fix, its just turning some things off.
Secondly, this information has been around for a long time now and is relevant to any Android phone, not just the S4.
And no, I am not going to post links to the hundreds of threads and posts on the many websites and forums out there who have already posted this before you and with more detailed information.
Seriously, why have you bothered posting this rubbish?
The most suitble statement is the tip for prolong the battery life. Tks OP for yr sharing.

I don't think is really necessary to restart the phone every X time, this is why the Multi task engine or whatever its called on android can autoclose apps en free memory and RAM every certain time...
You don't have to reboot Android or Windows often.

Rebooting because of a rogue app won't solve anything, it'll come back. You're better off finding out the problem and fixing it.

Thanks again, you have reason. Look, this is the capture of the page of support of Motorola say: if you reboot dayli, you have better battery .
I really don't understand why Motorola says that, but I know they say that since Razr i. Anyways, I'm glad to help clarify some stuff sometimes we just need a friendly answer.

That is how Android works. Even if you swipe off the app in the recents applications, the background process of the app is still running and not killed. The only way to do this is to force stop the application or service.
Try greenify app from the play store. You can choose the hibernate the apps that you want and it will stop running until you force run it again. This is by far one of my favourite applications.
It makes more sense to install BBS and find the reason behind poor battery life, if you have problems with it. If you just restart your phone, the problem might go away for a while, but it will come back in the end.

There is no sane reason to reboot the phone daily, it is a very clueless advice, even if it comes from Motorola. Rebooting the phone only hides the actual problem instead of solving it. If you don't have any faulty app, then it will be even worse because the reboot cycle uses way more battery than letting the phone sleep on your desk, and if you have something that eats up your battery, you should get rid of that. Check first the Battery page in Settings, to check if there is anything suspicious.
I recently received another scammish text which led me to suspect an app or apk I installed was to blame (possibly). Is there a way to chronologically see things I've installed on my phone. Stock Downloads app won't work because if I deleted the apk or installed it in a different way it won't show. There should be a way to see all of the things you've installed non market, apks, modules, or whatever. To be able to trace back and find a culprit. Kinda like a criminal rap sheet.
Your best bet is TITANIUM BACKUP !!! Sort all apps by date installed it will give you time installed !!!

No. I want something that can chronologically list on my phone all of those things that I've installed or modified or installed then deleted. Like a total history of installs.

Haven't heard of such a thing. Sorry.
Titanium can tell you app installs, even play store kinda keeps track. Initial install order anyway.
But to track apps, mods, alterations...anything? Nope. And flashing in recovery would not be trackable inside the O/S anyway.

Basically, if there isn't some kind of a thing on the play store....then it doesn't exist.
Scam texts are pretty common in some countries. I don't think it has anything to do with an app you installed unless you gave Snapchat your phone number as they got hacked a while back.
No snap chat for me. I thought of this idea for logs of this stuff before. There's got to be a way!

If you made an app to log package installs it would be a waste of time + have to be running on your device all the time. It'll also hardly be of any use, since most people aren't installing like 20 apps a day, every day. Just write it down if you really need to LOL.
For packages you currently have installed via Play or .apk installation you could go into /data/app and look at the dates on the .apk files. If you flashed something in recovery it'll show up as August 1 1970 or August 1 2008 or whatever generic date. As said previously, Titanium Backup uses this if you sort by date lol.
Edit, example (most mine are 25 July since I restored them through Titanium Backup):

After I root my device I'm currently observing it. Came across to this thread and share my situation as well, even my battery I'm keeping an eye for it. Had one problem where as before I go to sleep, the only app working while my phone is lock is my alarm clock, I set on smart plan and while sleeping my wifi is still on. Form 1:30am to 7:30am my battery starts in 66% and when I woke up its in 53%..
Having 800mb-900mb running in Android os usage Is alarming? Pls enlighten me. I think I messed up my phone because I rooted it..

Hi, as i am also a newbie, i am not sure i am able to help much. but I think it could be a rogue app that is causing the large battery drain on your phone.
after playing around for awhile, i discovered the issue for my phone lagging, which is caused by the notification app (Floatify). i have stopped the app and my phone is back to being speedy and fast. perhaps you can try to disable or stop some apps to see if it helps.

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!

Yes, its a while ago now. I think it has been 1-2 months ago. But I can remember it didn't make a huge difference. The thing is, I can't reset it because of banking applications and working abroad. (I wont be able to install them again). And I am pretty sure it wont help.
So I am looking for a kernel option or other tweaks..
There's no miracle, a kernel won't help significantly. You just need to track what's draining your battery. Delete ad many apps as possible, deactivate system apps you don't need.
You can try deep clear in the recent apps management and turn off smart boost in the laboratory.
You might have to replace the battery if the other suggestions don't help
Download Accubattery from play store and charge your phone above 80% then check battery heath, i have 86% health and it's pretty good.
Also if you oem unlock bootloader it will wipe everything.
Your doing something wrong.
Tinder much? Or u checking to many IG babes?
Edit: in that case nothing wrong, but something else is wrong (logs plz)
I'm experiencing exactly the same. Idle battery drain is about 1,5% per hour, I hardly get more than 3 hrs of screen on time. I do think it has something to do with the OS, but can't figure out what...
Go in Google settings, location, scan, and check in wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. This combo drains a lot

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!
