Android 7, Media Server and Battery drain on Honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

PREMISE: Sorry for my English, I'm italian.
Hi, few weeks ago I updated my Honor 8 (L09C432) from Android 7 B360 to Android 7 B380.
The smartphone has immediately a serious problem of battery drain. Looking at the levels of consumption, I noticed that the "Media Server" process consumes 30/40% of the battery. I removed the SD card, I deleted all files into storage, I wiped data and cache several times but the problem persisted.
Other people with other smartphones have fixed the problem by disabling Media Server (thank to root permissions). Are there other solutions? (possibly without requiring root permissions)
Today I noticed that there's a new update (B381), what are the differences between this and the B380? Did they fix the problem of battery drain?
I saw this update thanks to Firmware Finder, but I don't receive the OTA. Why? Maybe because it is an italian smartphone (?)

shell32.exe CPU load vs. SMS usage

Hi @all,
in the last weeks with my HTC touch dual, i discovered a worse loss of performance during 1-2 days - resulting in the need of a softreset. Unlike some of you i won't accept a daily softreset as a "must" for a WM device.
Looking into the processes with SKTools, i notice a constantly raising CPU load of the process "shell32.exe", which may need 40% CPU load or more just in idle state, making the phone really laggy. I've read about this somewhere in the web and some forums, but i did not feel everybody is suffering from this issue.
So what about it? As a SMS flat user i'll write many SMS per day with my wife - and this seems to be the crux of the matter. Playing an hour with my phone, opening and closing apps, entering dates and contacts - and shell32.exe is still at 0% in idle mode. Writing and receiving 40-50 SMS and i'm at 20% or more.
I just want to set up an discussion about that ... maybe some of you will have the same problem. And maybe some of the clever guys here will have an idea how to fix this ... the problem still exists in WM6.0 and unfortunately still in 6.1
Any discussion / ideas appreciated ...
İ have the exact same problem and was googling about it finding your comment... when i first boot my device cpu usage is %0 when idle and after sending/receiving around 50-60 sms , it increases up to %25 when idle by shell32.exe . I wonder what's it got to do with cpu ...
"Nice" to read someone else with this problem. It seems, that most people make a restart every day or does not write much SMS.
In holiday, my HTC ran 2 weeks without restart and problems ... but abroad you have to pay for SMS and there were only 5-10 of them. But with a flat ...
It seems that Microsoft still did not noticed these problems ...
I actually do restart everyday my htc prophet as it does reduce battery life having cpu at 20-30%
I guess we can solve this problem by comparing software we use and find what could be the problem. Because ,as there is not a lot people suffering from this, it might be a software issue.
well i heard that shell32.exe was also for today plug-ins , i have only bat.status as today plugin. May be i should disable it and try again... Actually i am abit lazy
You can spend this time to other things ... ... i made all these tries. A "naked" Touch Dual with no plugins makes the same - it's an issue of the operating system and/or the SMS app, which is a part of it.
well then these pdas are just not for sms-lovers Or shall we beg for a fix from microsoft ...
I'm experiencing the same problem. And i'm not a heavy user of SMS.
I think it happens even when not a single SMS have benn sent or received.
It seems to happen since I have flashed a 6.1 ROM.
I remark this because my battery is discharging more than usual.
I have the same problem on my new Palm Treo Pro, even without sms sending. Cpu usage is not that high though, but sometimes the battery is almost empty at the end of the day without doing anything special.
Monitoring power consumptions with BatteryStatus (now HomeScreen++) has a best case of 45mA (still almost double of my P3600) and more often than wanted around 150mA-250mA, with moderate backlight and idle state.
If I remember correctly, the P3600 had a similar issue and that was linked to the radio, it was solved by a newer radio rom. But that my be coincidence or just a total different thing too.
I'm having the same problem with my treo 800w. If i reset my phone to begin the day, about halfway through the day wihtout using the phone at all I will notice the battery dropping rediculously fast. Looking at the processes reveals that shell32.exe is using 20% cpu constantly. After a reset, shell32.exe hovers at 0-2%
I am positive this is what is causing my battery to die so fast.
Hi
I've got a similar problem with my FSC Pocket Loox N560.
I got a RAM extension which additionally needs an upgrade to WM6.1 (at least that's what i got).
When i reset the Loox, everything is fine.
But as soon as the device is switched off to suspend mode and then on again, shell32.exe takes up between 30 and 70% of CPU power. And there is another process, filesys.exe, which uses another 20 to 30%. So in the worst case, the CPU is at about full load and - of course - the processor mode is constantly at turbo mode. The system's reaction is pretty poor then. One can see the sector-colored-circle-thing appearing every 2 seconds on today screen and some other applications.
Haven't found a reason for this. I would be quite happy for now if i only needed to reset the device once per day, but in fact i have to reset it everytime i switch it on.
Does anybody know a reason for this yet?
Greetings, Martin

I have the exact problem on same device (FSC LOOX n560). Upraded it to WM6.1 about two weeks ago. Everything was running ok until yesterday, when I installed and then uninstalled latest version of Pocket Informant from WebIS and MyMobiler remote desktop (which I uninstalled right after this problem started, because I thought it is, what's causing it).
My guess is that it has to do with some filesystem errors on storage card (after all it's FAT system, which fragments it's data). I'll try to format my storage card later today, to see if it helps
EDIT: Okay, it seems it was caused by misbehaviour of SPB Pocket Plus v4 program. I uninstalled it and turned my PDA on and off several times and shell32.exe process was still on 0-1%
EDIT2: Well, I made a hard reset and installed everything again, including SPB PP and everything is running ok

hey every1
even i am havin d same prob on my htc diamond..but on a minor scale.. I have installed few softwares recently and have noticed dat shell32.exe is taking arnd 0.37 % continously..but i compltly remember that b4 installing and even in all the roms(i have tried many roms) it used to be only at 0% in idle state.. but this is continously taking abt 0-1% which is also affecting me as i wud like to know the reason.so have anyone found the reason and a way to resolve widout a hard reset. bcoz i know once i hard reset its gonaa be normal. but i install many softwares and putting them back is a pain...
hi guys. I have the same problem when I use the usb cable to connect as a masive disk and I finish using or not "extract securely" in my PC.
sorry my english!!
I have this problem too!
when my phone is turning on: shell32.exe=> Ram usage about 2MB, CPU usage 0% or 1%!
after receive several sms, shell32.exe=> Ram usage about 10MB , CPU usage about 40% to 60%!!
I installed "BestTaskMan" and found shell32.exe in processes list, i select it and in menu button i click "Windows list"..
in "Windows list", I found a invisible windows with "Clock Window" name!!
i checked it, each time I receive sms, a "Clock Window" was added tu "Windows list"!!
I think, its the main problem!
My Questions: whats "Clock Window"?
why is it invisble?
why will greate a "Clock Window" when I receive a new sms?!!
How to close it?!

[Q] [CM 10.1 Nightlies] android.process.media gone insane

Like you probably expected from the title, the media process is currently using up obscene amounts of my CPU for some reason, and for extended periods of time.
I Googled, and I got two solutions:
Clear the Media Storage app's data
Remove and/or repair the problem file
The problem is I cleared the Media Storage data and removed all sound files from my phone, and the problem persists. So it's a different problem. I can temporarily remedy the problem by going into its app info and tapping "Force Stop", however this is undesirable for quite a few reasons.
This wasn't a problem in the April 12th nightlies, but from April 30th onward (I don't normally update often) this started happening.
Any ideas?
Firstly, i'm not entirely sure what XDA policy is on double posting even if your first post was four hours later, so if I'm screwing up, let me know.
Secondly, it transpired that even though it wasn't a sound file on my internal storage, it was definitely SOME file, as emptying /sdcard onto my computer appears to have fixed it.
I'll have to look through those files later and figure out what was causing the problem.

[Q] Note pro 12.2 keeps rebooting after using facebook app

i just got my note pro 12.2 wifi version (international) a few days ago and already experiencing problems, firstly the wifi was so slow so i updated it OTA to the latest stock firmware i can't remember what it is but it's the latest official 4.4.2 they have and that improved the wifi but now i'm encountering issues of rebooting randomly after using facebook app. it's always after i lock the screen it suddenly reboots after 2 mins or something especially if i have say been using a lot of memory for it.. ie if i scroll down 4000 friends that's when it always reboots once i lock the screen. is this liekly to be hardware or software issue or an app issue?
i have only had it a few days so haven't managed to play with it enough to test it to the max.
just now it rebooted and i played one youtube HD video and used multi window to use the facebook app (old version 7.0 - i like this version).. but i hadn't used the facebook app that much while on, the only thing i did different was i plugged in my samsung s3 charger into the note pro to test how long it would take to charge using a usb 2.0 connection instead. it's official charger official cable, is that likely to cause reboot issues?
previously it was just after using facebook for a long time for a ram intensive amount, i also tested it after reboot and using facebook a bit and locking screen and it didn't reboot so it made me think ok it's just when facebook is being used a lot and all the ram and memory is exhausted caching 4000 friends viewing so i didn't think anything of it.
is this likely to be hardware or software issue? are hardware issues ever the main problem with rebooting?
I know the usual tests, having to use odin to flash official firmware, trying a different facebook version, removing and not using facebook at all and see if it still reboots and lastly factory reset.
ideally i'd like to avoid all of those things as it is a major hassle and i can live with the reboot issue provided it isn't a hardware problem. is there anyway to test it to know for certain it is hardware and not software and the app?
edit: it keeps rebooting even if i dont use the app
seems to happen when i lock the screen sometimes it just reboots randomly.
anyone else have this?
You could try to remove that facebook app and see if that fixes the problem.
does anyone know what is causing this?? is it hardware?
i've factory reset removed all apps, then added one app at a time then added about 6gb of videos and added wakelock detector. all seemed fine
then i tried to unmount the sd card and then it rebooted.. why is it doing this??

Could it be a bad sector on the SD card? I'd long format it using a pc to be sure.

it's not the faceboook k app i've realised now it just coincidentally seemed to be that as it is ram intensive.
i factory reseted and then put the app back on but didn't log in. 3 times it has rebooted by itself over different scenarios.. 1 plugging in a samsung usb 2.0 charger from a samsung s3, 2 when unmounting sd card, 3 when closing the screen when any ram intensive app is in the background (there's still like 500mb of ram left!! i dont know why it's rebooting like this.
i can't figure it out. is anyone else having these issues? im not sure if it's a kitkat 4.4.2 issue.. reading forums from other users with different devices i'm seeing the reboot issue coming up alot especially on the s4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/samsung-kitkat-systemserver-crash-fix-t2806046/page22
but i dont know for certain if it's a hardware issue.
my next steps which i really want to avoid is to factory reset AGAIN and not load any apps (the problem with this is it requires a certain amount of ram intensity to be used before it randomly happens.. if i dont add any apps like instagram or facebook or tumblr i can't get it back to the state where it reboots randomly)
i've also enabled all apps (i usually disable all the bloatware i can without being rooted) but it does bring up errors of android.core.process has stopped etc and some gapps errors (im hoping this is the cause of the reboot) and see if it reboots. it's difficult recreating the scenario consistently.
i udnerstand it might reboot if you've overused the memory but it clearly shows lots is free so i can't figure out what is causing it?
my next step after all this is to flash the latest version of stock so i can't put it down to the OTA updates that is causing it. if that fails i revert to odin to flash the original 4.4.2 it came with.. and failing that i'll have to return it
does anyone have any ideas whether it is hardware (maybe the power button is slightly off so when you press down it in a certain angle it triggers a restart?)
or is the motherboard or corrupted sector of the memory which when it writes over it causes the reboot?
i always assumed reboot issues were normally always firmware issues and not hardware.. surely samsungs quality control is a bit better than that??
If it were me I would yank the microsd card out, factory reset, set up just my gmail without allowing auto backup/restore and apply all updates. I'd then let the tablet run for a full day and use it just for web browsing and Youtube to see if the problem is still there. I would not install anything for at least a day, including the microsd card. This would be as stock as one could get and rule out the possibility of it being any software that I installed or the microsd that I was using.
I suspect it's software but the only way to know is to be patient and test it out for sure.

Hi,
same tablet, bought there is 3 weeks. I installed the latest firmware update (XXUANI1)
I rooted the tablet (to allow sd-card writing).
and that's it.
like some of you, I have random reboot.
I can't remember if it happened before the root or not. I think that yes, but I am not 100% sure.
I don't see anyone reported that the root cause random reboot...
it is really random. sometime, the tablet stay one night without reboot, sometime, I can have 3 reboot in one hour.
I don't find what kind of application is causing that issue.
I really believe that it is software. before the firmware update, I stayed 2 weeks without any issue.
I tried to reboot in recovery mode, and wipe the cache, without success.
I will probably try to do a factory reset...

Assuming you have custom recovery installed as well; have you tried wiping dalvic? It will force applications to recompile and possibly fix a corrupted application or its associated files.
Hi,
I just checke.…
I was thinking that the root method was not setting the knox flag, so i was thinking there is no recovery in the file flashed… .
I was wrong.
My waranty is void, knox is set. I still have no custom recovery : in the file provided by chainfire, there is a recovery which is probably coming from samsunG…
So i will install a new recovery and try to wipe all caches dalvik.etc.
Hi,
since my knox is set now :
I tried to install TWRP recovery, which allow me to do a wipe of the cache AND dalvik Cache.
it did not resolved anything. the tablet still reboots randomly.
then, I decided to restart from scratch :
I flashed the same firmware I had, using ODIN, and do not root it.
this is this firmware : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P900/XEF/
I will keep you updated if it solve the reboot issue or not.
thanks

Hi
I had the same problem and also thought it was the power button that was faulty but then I flashed the previous firmware then tried to use it a bit and no reboots since so I guess samsung released a new firmware that solved the slow wifi problem but then boosted it a little too much or so it seems judging by the reboots whenever there's too much overload.
So I guess for now I will stick with an older firmware
oops... it rebooted while I was surfing the play store so I guess I spoke too soon

Things to do before updating?

Allright, I finally got my Honor 8! FRD-L09 in Belgium through V-mall.:victory:
I got a notice there is an update available. I am currently on EMUI 4.1. On my older devices I never update and just flash higher versions instead.
Anything I should do before initiating this update?
Are there any reasons not to update (yet)?
Is there anything I should do like backups and all?
I'm currently trying to do an adb backup but I forgot what exactly is included in that. It's not the same as a nandroid is it?
Some weeks ago I saw some people need some files still. Forgot where it was or which wording was used. Does anyone still need something from a new user? Likely the request has already been filled with more people having the device by now.
I'm going to check out this thread later and mess around with xposed and those cool things.
Anything else I need to know about my device?
Thanks guys! Let's make this device awesome!:highfive:

Hi miva2
Since getting my Honor 8 i've had a couple of ota updates which have installed fine (apart from installing some chinese app updates, but that happened because my phone is the chinese version with a supplier-installed mod to mostly make the phone english)
as far as I'm aware an OTA update should preserve all of your data and settings, but it can't hurt to regularly back up your personal files.
For this I use a nice little app called MyPhoneExplorer
not sure what the difference is between an adb and nandroid backup other than what I read here http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/48833/whats-the-difference-between-a-nandroid-backup-and-an-adb-backup
Hope that helps
The initial thing is to charge your mobile above 70% and take a backup of your data. In the future if any problem arises, then the first thing to do is the Factory data Reset.
So its better to wipe the cache and install the update.
Also remember your Google Password which is used for Login into your Android Google Account. All the Honor mobiles released in 2016 has Factory Data Protection. So you need to remember the username and password u used for logging in this mobile previously.
Before OTA update, check the instructions on screen, if any, usually it will show you to charge your phone above 50%. For major update, it will also remind you to backup your data (but I've never done that...)
Just make sure to have 70% of battery, or plug it in the charger
Thanks for the tips!
I'll try to make an adb backup again later. Had trouble finding the device through adb. Probably need some drivers or something.

OTA update won't delete the data. However it is recommended to reset once after the update.
So taking backup is useful.

You're absolutely right there bro
It's obvious, it became a habit in me
It is recommended that you update to the latest version as soon as possible. After you receive an update notification, you can enter Settings > Updater to check the update and choose whether to update. It is recommended that you update using a Wi-Fi connection.
Normally, system updates will increase your phone's performance, and strengthen personal privacy and data security protection. They also provide new features, therefore it is recommended that you update as soon as possible. If you do not update, you can still use your current system normally.
Performing a system update will not clear user data, but in order to protect your data security, it is recommended that you back up your data before updating. (NS)

Okay so backup is just for user data. nandroid is not needed.
With reset I assume you guys mean a factory reset and not just a reboot.
Hope I get my sim card soon (mine was too big) so I can actually start using this phone instead of having it decorate my bedside table.

Yes we mean the factory reset.
In the meantime you get the SIM, you can update through Wifi (if available).

Sorry, bad use of language from me.
Not complete apps, but every now and then stuff pops up on screen, all in Chinese, that I don't understand, one such screen must be some media portal as there was hyperlink pictures (bit like a Chinese version of YouTube) but selecting returns server error.
I accidentally installed last ota and the next update notification screen that popped up was also in Chinese language. All my location settings are English so I figured the Chinese stuff must be updated system files because they started appearing after I installed updates (guess that's why supplier recommended no ota)

I did one OTA update from b106 -> b135. Next one is to b160 and says it includes 3 patches. I didn't get any chinese popups or anything. I uninstalled most of them and disabled notifications/autostart on the ones remaining.
What version are you on and hows your standby time? Just testing the phone a bit now and standby isn't looking too good. Left it overnight with Wifi on and it lost around 10%. Wondering if its the rom, some setting or normal?

I'm on version 160, can't resist installing to see what gets improved, but I think it only a matter of time before an ota install breaks this e-mod-rom, I guess when that happens I'll just have to either pay e-to-talk for replacement rom or factory reset
I leave phone overnight with wifi on and bluetooth on (linked to my pebble wristwatch) and tend to lose 3 to 4 % by morning, really impressed with battery life. Have you found battery management app? I'm sure you would have, it's got some nice features for saving power

It maybe because I had no sim in it and the phone was constantly checking for it. Turned on airplane mode and left for 8 hours, it lost 1%. Now trying airplane mode with Wifi on.
How do you know the rom is modded?

Suddenly no WIFI, no reboot, battery drain with Lineageos

Hello!
I'm on Holiday and have a big problem with my OPO. I use Lineageos 14.1 (Build from march) and after the battery was empty yesterday I have a lot of problems today:
- no wifi connection. It is not possible to switch it on or off. No wlan is recognized.
- it is not possible to reboot or shutdown the phone. I need to press the powerbutton for 10seconds
- the battery monitor shows nothing. No power usage of the apps and no battery chart.
- the phone is getting hot and has a really high battery drain.
This problems occured after the empty battery yesterday.
I already wiped dalviak and Cache and updated to the latest build. No change.
Do you have an idea? As I said I am on holiday and the day befor my wife laptop's SSD died- so I have very limited possibilities. As wifi is not working, I write this with an IPhone, which is no fun
I downloaded the update on my OPO by cellular which is still working but no good idea because of limited data plan...
Many thanks for your help!

Do you have an idea? As I said I am on holiday and the day befor my wife laptop's SSD died- so I have very limited possibilities. As wifi is not working, I write this with an IPhone, which is no fun
I downloaded the update on my OPO by cellular which is still working but no good idea because of limited data plan...
Many thanks for your help!

Factory reset?
That would hopefully help- but I will loose all my apps...
A question: will my pics and downloads still be there? Maybe I make a Titanium backup, do a factory reset, restore the backup and everything will be fine?
What data will I loose?apps and the folder "Android"?
And: reset in Anroid or TWRP?
Many thanks!
It works! It seems, that the wifi settings were corrupt. I read a solution here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28567/how-to-reset-wi-fi-settings
I deleted the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf , rebooted and now wifi is connected again.
I See the battery chart and can reboot with the restart menu

If you factory reset from TWRP, internal storage won't be touched hence photos and files will remain. But data partition will be wiped and that contains the apps and their saved info.

Glad to know it worked without factory reset.
Factory reset when on holidays is hectic anyway.
Enjoy your holidays!
Thanks I don't wanted it hectic, my wife was already nerved by repairing my phone
And another information: before the phone was empty, I installed the facebook APP and allowed the Option "show nearby wifi" (I don't know the real english translation for this).
Maybe this had to do with the damaged wifi settings...
