Mediadrmserver fast battery drain and overheat/restart + Odd charging behaviour - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I've had my S8+ for about 6 weeks or so and maybe 3 times I have had the phone's battery drain really quickly below 50% when it's doing nothing and today, I got a message on the phone telling me that some apps were causing the phone to overheat and it needed to restart and the phone was indeed quite hot. So I went into the battery stats and did a screenshot, I've attached it below. Has anyone else had anything like this? I had a similar issue on an S4 with media server trying to catalog non media files on an SD card, but this phone hasn't got an external sd fitted.
Another odd thing is that I often put the phone on charge at night using the supplied wired charger and cable, and sometimes I notice that the battery is lower than expected at say mid morning and battery stats are showing that the phone has been discharging for much longer than it should have been, as if it had fully charged at night and then when it finished charging, it turned off the power and it started draining the battery. None of my other devices have ever done this!
Does this sound familiar to anyone else? Is there an easy fix?
Thanks

I tried your problem and reached 0% battery )
Also I taken photos of this experiment

Yes, Its possible to make sound at o% battery on your phone, I have done this many times, but in such cases this is not supporting and after reaching at 10% low batter phone is about to switched off. so somewhere its working and somewhere not....
i found that himalayas are not reliable when low on battery they either really slow down or quit altogether
best bet is give it a recharge every day and a half

[MUST LOOK]DeepShining lastest rom Battery Calibration WPextended error?

There is definitely something wrong with the battery. Either its a calibration bug or my battery is fried which is highly unlikely because it was working properly before flashing the deepshining rom
This is before i started playing a random game on my HTC HD7

This is after around 2hrs or so of gaming
As you can see its dropped from 91% all the way to 20% after 2 hrs of gaming which is ridiculous because i can get at least 4 hrs of gaming on this phone when it was interop and chervon unlocked.
This is the voltage at the start of gaming

This is the voltage for the phone after the gaming
What i found ridiculous is that when i started gaming the voltage output decreased but my battery percentage kept dropping at a fast rate.
Could someone check this out for me!
PS: I made the pictures big enough so you can see it clearly lol
ANOTHER PROBLEM : WP EXTENDED
When i try to switch profiles they don't switch properly. What i mean by properly is that if im trying to go from battery saver to user customisation by switching off battery saver and reboot the phone, it stays stuck on battery saver.

[HELP] Severe Battery Issues !

I can't pinpoint exactly when or what I did around the time I started having battery problems but I have some major issues. I have a battery drain that is so severe that my charger cant even charge fast enough, I could leave it to charge all night while off and it will only charge like 20%. is it the charger? even with no apps open it tell me while charging to close unused apps to help charing.

[Q] battery strange behaviour

Hi,
I have a i9300 with CM10.1 from more than a year now, working very well.
A few months ago, I've noticed the battery was swollen, so I bought a new one (not original). With this battery, I started to get a strange behaviour. From the start I've made a few cycles full-charge full-discharge, and the battery time improved, but the behaviour remain the same: a few minutes after I unplug the phone, the battery drops to 8x% - 7x%. It ramains several hours from 7x%, discharging normally, until it hits 3x%, then it drops almost by the minute. It doesn't reach 0%; at first, aprox. at 15%, now at 4%, the screen starts blinking, the buttons become unresponsive and the phone turns off suddendly without the "powering off" message.
Then, of course, I've calibrated the phone, with a battery calibration app and manually deleting the batterystats.bin; no change.
So, you'll say the battery is not original so this is normal; I thought that and bought a new original one. And it's almost the same behaviour. I'm attaching a capture of my battery cycle:

It appears otherwise, but the phone is not intensively-used at a given period; I use it the same all the day.
I appreciate any suggestions!
Regards!

Battery Fast Degrade

I brought the device on May 11 since on that day i install accubattery app since it will monitor my battery's health. . i keep my battery often from 40%-80% charge to keep it good. but when i found out this thread on How to gauge your phone's battery capacity after months of usage https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/694urh/how_to_gauge_your_phone_battery_capacity_after/ my battery seems degrading so fast -306 mah for 2 months.?? and my charging cycle is only 67. I didnt experience any overheating since i bought this. i also use normal charging because i think that fast charge wear the battery faster. . . Im abit OC of this phone since it is not removable. . Is the accubattery making this false reading ? or i got a damage battery? what do u think? please advice.

I'm sure that software isn't accurate at all.

The other thing to keep in mind is that battery drain is almost always software related, and barring a bad battery, is rarely related to the hardware at all. If you have an app (or many apps) that create a bunch of wakelocks then your battery is going to crash and burn. I'll agree that my phone is brand new, but I stream music from Amazon Prime music ALL day and by 5 PM I'm at around 66%.
