All of a sudden today in my battery usage, "Media Server" is 2nd only to the display and the phone temp will climb from 89f to 120f or more just sitting there not in use. I looked to see what was running but nothing out of the ordinary shows up under running services. I also can't quite figure out what "media server" is or what would make it run like that. Any ideas or links would be really appreciated.
running GB continuum rom with the latest talon.
Check for updates to your apps, also have you installed any new apps?

I did install a few games and I also tried the gps fixes I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272141[/URL] .
After I noticed the heat from the phone I looked at batt usage, saw the "media server" and immediately uninstalled the games. then I rebooted into recovery and cleared caches and volt settings (just in case) and rebooted. It instantly started to climb in temp after the phone was done loading up.
Since it says "media" I also cleared app cache for the music app and for the video app but no change. Have also pulled the battery a few times.
I would try flashing shomans revert file from the continuum site (use the one for the version of continuum you are running). If that doesn't work, only thing I know to try would be reflashing the ROM.
Still having this issue off and on with no real pattern. I would appreciate any info on "media server" what it is, does or what app might use it.

So since the first froyo leak I have been installing a bunch of differant roms just to get a taste of them all. From evil, king, rodriguezstyle, MoDaCo etc. I always wiped in between installs too. But as of lately I noticed my phone stuttering a lot. Becoming unresponsive and getting as low as 40ram free. I even went to a task manager and cancelled everything just to see if I would get my usual 240-260mb ram back but instead I would get a total of 90-130 after killing everything. Its so odd! I am on the new frf83 on stock launcher. Is there anything I can do to reclaim my old reliable phone? Wiping over and over didn't do it for me. Also, my n1 internal memory fluctuates a lot too but I'm not sure if its related. I have received a few low memory messeges.
Shameless bump! Just hoping the right people see this and respond.
If you have any memory available(even 10mb) then it would not stutter, sounds like your CPU is under heavy use.

Even when I remove all background processes using a task manager I end up with a lot less then what I have available at boot up. Usually 140mb! I'm running pershoots latest kernel @ 1.1ghz. I'm also on the newest setcpu.
Foorgot to mention, browser feels a bit beta and I crash the browser about 5 times a day. Wifi works great and occasionally disconnects for some reason. Phone also rebooted on me but that's super rare. Is there anything I can wipe besides the 2 wipe options in recovery?

somewhere in between updating FRF50 to 72 to 83, I started having very slow performance despite free RAM.. I bit the bullet and wiped the phone and started over, installed everything back.. all is well and with FRF85B the phone is rocking again

I can just install via recovery on my rooted n1? Should I wipe?
my nexus has always been this way, even on 2.1. on fresh boot the full RAM is shown. then after a few days it goes down slowly. but if you kill all apps, you never reclaim all that RAM back. only a reboot brings it back. obviously over time background processes are slowly accumulating, ones that you cant see with any task manager. however my phone has never gone into critical slow down from this, meaning it ALWAYS can still keep around 100 mb free by killing stuff, even with this memory leak.
also, the browser in froyo has been updated so that it caches web pages now a lot more. so when you check the browser in system panel, it will show that its using sometimes 75mb of RAM. this isnt a memory leak, it is just caching pages now so that A) it doesnt have to refresh from the network, and B) so when you hit back button it doesnt always have to reload from the network.
this is an issue logged on the google forums, and some employees replied back that they made this change in froyo. check out the response.

Hi All,
I'm having this odd battery drain. I've installed Battery History and saw that under partial wake usage, "Maps" is top on the list. Even higher than "Android System".
Now, does this "Maps" refer directly to the Maps app? Or does any other app also reports as "Maps" on battery history?
Odd is that even after reboot, it still gets high partial wake usage but checking Samsung's task manager, the Maps app is not running, or at least not visible on the current tasks.
Does anyone has experienced this? I'm using Doc's ROM v9.9.5 (JS8) with Damian's Kernel and Crysis Revolution Theme, if that can be of help.
A second question: If I was to go back to an Eclair stock ROM, that would upgrade through KIES to Froyo, which version would I use? My product code is HKDXEU. Also, do I need to change bootloader if I was to do such thing? Or does Gingerbread's bootloader would work on Eclair?
I was thinking of reverting back to Eclair (repartition, 512.pit), then upgrade through Kies and then go to Doc's ROM again. Kind of really reseting from "as much original" as it could be.

hi. I had this problem with my HTC Desire 2.3.3 Oxygen Rom by adamg. why don't you try to signing out of latitude? it seemed to work for me..
I never logged in on Latitude (or can't remember doing so). But I'll check this. Thanks for the tip.

I thought I solved my random battery drains with 2.3.3 but I think Maps is another factor. Anytime I use a Maps related App (like MyTracks a few days ago or Places + Navigation today) not the Maps app would show up in the battery history, but "Android OS" is rising and sucking the battery dry. The CPU never goes to "deep sleep" until I restart the phone
I signed off latitude some weeks ago, but i looks like some parts of Maps causes problem with the system :-(
Try uninstall and fresh install from the market

Hi guys,
I just came from CM7 to this CM6 by Milaq. Love it, everything is much faster, always enough RAM.
I did 3 wipes, flashed ROM through OpenRecovery, reboot, flash gapps for HDPI, reboot, and then restored some apps with titanium backup.
I'm having some issues, I'll list them in order of how much they're bothering me:
1) A bunch of system apps aren't showing up in the market and therefore aren't getting updated. Ex. Facebook, youtube, twitter, etc. What do I do and why did this happen?
2) Titanium backup seems to fail at restoring data for a lot of apps (ex. Shazam, LauncherPro, ColorNote, etc). At the very least I want my Shazam tags back. It doesn't say it fails, it says it's successful but once you open the app, the data isn't there. Interestingly enough, the data IS there in /data/data, at this point basically just taking up space. Now I'm wondering how many apps it restored data to which the data just sits there, useless.
3) The custom LED blink frequency in HandcentSMS just broke. It was working fine until I turned the CM setting "succession" on, and then off. Basically now the LED either blinks as it wants to (no matter what setting), or will stay on if I choose the "Default" setting OR a custom setting with 0 for the "off time."
HELP please?!?
I have had similar problems with market some time ago once switched from CM7 to CM6. I did several cleanups of the marked data and even full wipe plus SD card cleanup (there are some system folders) and suddenly it helped. Can't confirm what are the correct steps to recover from the problem ...
Additionaly had an impression the Google backup is causing some troubles so disabled it.
Edit:
The led blinking is controled by some hardware device so either you can't change the frequency OR apps controls the led by itself using main CPU, which costs extra battery ...
I stay with apps settings only and not change anything by CM settings and works fine. Every time have beeing playing with CM led settings ends up with some mess I could not recover from.

1) is solved: I fixed the market by rolling back to the old market that is included with gapps. I forgot to write that I had updated to the new one (provided by Milaq though so I thought it'd be fine). All apps are seen now.
3) As for the LED, I know what you mean, as soon as you touch CM settings it gets messed up!!! How can I reset the CM settings? Tried data wipe through titanium backup on CM settings but it didn't do a thing... This is gonna bother me to no end.
EDIT: I somehow managed to find this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18051-solid-led-notifications/
Going to CM settings, selecting Succession and then clicking cancel at the dialog box seems to have brought the blinking frequency function back to handcent. Although...it's kind of buggy, doesn't alway blink properly. But at least some change is visible now. Does your led listen perfectly to on and off times?

I do not use Handcent just the stock app and do not chage the CM led settings and everything works as expected.
In case seriuos problems Titanium Backup + full wipe is OK for me

Hi,

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

weird you might want to flash the newest revolution rom, my guess is that there is an app running in the background. game perhaps? i would just recommend a fresh install with 4.2.2 =D
Sounds like you have some naughty apps or system processes misbehaving, you need to find out which ones they are, try installing the watchdog app and set it to monitor system processes as well.
Also a good one is wakelock detector.
John.
Verify the rom your flashings MD5 checksum.
To eliminate any apps that may be causing your phone to get hot, do the following.
Go to your internal memory and clean up anything that you do not need, so pics, music and videos i would keep, or copy them off, delete everything else that you don't need. *Make sure you leave a working ROM to flash on your memory* (I personally do a good clean up every third flash, so i delete every folder and just leave the ones i mentioned above and a flashable rom of course)
Reboot to recovery and perform a full wipe (Data, cache and dalvic cache)
Install your rom.
Don't install any extras at all
*Do not restore anything whatsoever*, no advanced restore and no titanium
Allow the phone to boot and don't install any apps, just sign into your Gmail and keep it like that for a day.
No overclocking / underclocking no undervolting / overvolting of any kind, keep it on stock kernel.
Turn off unwanted wireless connectivity when not in use, ie: GPS, NFC, WiFi, Mobile Data.
If your phone gets hot after that then I would say that it could be a problem with your handset.
When it's charging or your running an app the phone will get hot, thats a given but if you follow what i've written then your phone shouldn't get too hot.
Good luck m8
Use this app and see which apps getting energy

My theory is that it's bad install. It happened to me on few occasions.
Hi guys,
I've had my HTC One for over a year now and love it except recently it seems to have gone really slow / sluggish and visibly takes ages to do anything recently. For instance today in work I wanted to show someone a photo I took on my camera this morning... I went into the camera app and then clicked the thumbnail at the bottom to get to gallery and it must have taken 30 seconds to open the picture.... as much as I have iPhones, with them I have seen people click and it is pretty much instant....
I have updated it to the latest software (4.4.2) as soon as it was available a few months back and it is completely stock / unrooted etc.
Is there any way to either a) find out what is making it slow or b) get something to make it faster?
To note, I would rather not root / install a custom rom if I don't have to but if thats the only way then please do say so.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you install any new Apps that might be hogging resources?
There are process loggers and probably take a look at battery drain to identify apps.
I'd suggest to backup essential information (just in case) and perform a factory reset.
Thanks for the responses guys:
@gotcha69 - I install apps all of the time so it may well be this but I have no idea how to track down which one is at fault, shy of a very long process of installing everything one by one...
@davebugyi - can you recommend a process logger please? Looking at battery app usage this morning, 41% Google Play Services, 40% Android System, 5% MX Player and TV Catchup 2%... does any of that seem unusual?
Was watching a video on the way to work this morning and when I got there, pressed pause and it took a couple of seconds to actually stop the playback. I just cant get my head around a phone more powerful than most desktop/laptop computers from 3 years ago can be so sluggish for simple actions.
Definitely thinking about a factory reset - is there any way to backup apps on a non-rooted phone?
@gk141054 - I use only the built-in app in Android Tuner, but you can try OS Monitor or Elixir 2 or CPU Monitor.
For me GP services a bit too much in my opinion.
To back-up things you can use the accounts sync option on a non rooted device - copy all your stuff into a computer from SD Card, but nothing much can be done with apps. Maybe you can try HTC's backup app (can't help much, since I am rooted and using Titanium backup).
Check your media server

I've been having a bunch of trouble recently on my HTC One... some app update (I suspect Twitter for various reasons) has been causing my HTC's media scanner to go crazy, frequently hogging 25% CPU and causing 15% logcat (as measured by CPU Monitor).
I finally solved the problem seemingly by force closing the media server, clearing its data, force stop twitter, clear its cache, and delete it's cache folder (Android/data/...twitter/cache). For good measure, I also cleared .thumbnails (DCIM/.thumbnails, use ES file manager and enable hidden files).
Your mileage may vary...

I had definitely the same issues with my HTC One M7. I identified Mediaserver as the source of the problem. Mediaserver regularly scans all files on the device.
What I did to get rid of the problem is installing SD Maid (Pro) (no rooted device needed!). Scanning and deleting all the trash files that accumulated in the last 2 years freed about 2 GB of space!
Since then no lag on my HTC One was encountered!
