Mediaserver battery drain solved

Hey guys,
I got my xperia t yesterday and i immediatly updated it to jelly bean. Ive done 3 full charges already and mediaserver keeps draining my battery. I put in an empty sd card and ive only got a few photos. Does this go away after a few days or should i do something about it?

Let it settle for a few days. It will get better. This is normal behaviour

Odp: Mediaserver battery drain
In my case Mediaserver stands ONLY for any app that plays music when the screen is off. So for me it's PowerAMP.

Okay i hope you're right. Battery is still pretty good though even with the mediaserver draining it. I find it a great phone already!

Re: Mediaserver battery drain
Mm it's been three days now and somewhere.around 7 charges and mediaserver is still draining my battery. Is this still normal? Should i leave the device on as long as possible to let it settle? Or should.i reboot every day?

rebooting everyday is a little extreme i reboot about once a week it takes a couple of hours for the system to settle again but i have to charge almost twice a day once fully and once a quick top me up 20 - 30 minutes max and that gets me through the day listening to music allday through a bluetooth headset phone calls texts internet and gaming

This is really strange. It shouldn't be that way.
Well if you want, you could try repairing the software using PCCompanion or Sony Update Service. And then check if the problem still exist.

Re: Mediaserver battery drain
It's slowly getting better im just going to wait a couple more days. Screen is highest consumer now instead of mediaserver but its still high.

[BUG] Battery Bug for Stock 4.2.2

THIS BUG CAN DO HARM TO YOUR BATTERY! BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BATTERY DRAINS!
As we all may encounter the battery bug after upgrading to .423 fw. When one restarts his phone, he has chances that the battery level of the phone rises (e.g., I turned off mine just now at 26% and turned it on showing 51%). This has been confirmed by many users in the forum, so I believe it is a firmware level bug of 4.2.2.
Is there any one willing to pay some time on fixing it? Coz this is a quite crucial bug for us, we dont know when will our phones automatically turn off! Thanks in advance
I believe its not a caliboration thing coz we also upgrade or wipe our devices before, and no such thing happened. I think its a firmware or kernel level bug. Does anyone who flashes a custom kernel also encounter the same problem?
It seems that Spanish FW is free from this bug.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43261281
plz report your rom or base FW in the reply. Thanks.
[NEW EDIT]
It seems that I fix the bug. The battery jumps when the phone restarts, so I think there is something during boot which causes the issue. I delete the XZDualRecovery, and test the phone several times, and its fine!
Deleting XZDualRecovery might be a temporary fix, so you can choose what to do
[NEW EDIT 2]
someone reports that they dont encounter the bug and believes that its the calibration thing. i declare again that i DID the calibration and the issue was still there. for me, at least, deleting XZDualRecovery fixes the bug. plz report more details in the reply, like fw, root or not, recoveries. Thank you

I don't think there is a bug here.
Never happened to me,cause i did full wipe while flashing.
Maybe it happens only for users that didn't wiped everything.

There is no kernel for 4.2.2. DoomKernel supports fw before 423. Correct me if Im wrong. Also in LB and know not much about custom kernels.

yes this issue exist. it happened to me when i updated to this new 4.2.2 also i have black dots in camera and the back cover of my xperia z is not correctly glued. i hate sony right now

hello all me too experienced the same problem but I successfully regained my battery life. Here is what I have done....
1)First I drained the battery fully until mobile gets switched off
2)Then I left the mobile to cool off for half an hour
3)After that I charged the battery upto 100%
4)Following this I switched on the Mobile and did the battery calibration by using 'Battery Calibration' app
5)Again I fully drained the battery and charged it again to 100%
Now the battery life seems good. I checked this by using WiFi whole night....battery lasted overs 12hrs

This is exactly what I concern. I dont know when my phone is going to off, and it could be big trouble when there is no access to the charger.

Maybe we just need to recalibrate, drain battery to 0% and fully charge it to 100% while the phone is turned off.

plz give some feedback if it works

I experiencing the same issue. 2% to 55% after reboot. wow... 4.2.2 doesn't bring anything for me to consider to keep it. so back to 4.1.2 (.4.3.4)
But one thing for sure (never discharge a lithium ion / polymer battery from full to 0 they don't like it) you could do that with nickel cadmium/ metal hydride batteries ant they really thank for that if you keep doing that you just kill your battery before its due time.

[Help] Battery is abnormal

Anyone can help me about this problem? I"m using CM10.1.2 stable and my problem is all about the life of the battery. I full charge my droid in 100% and use it normally then from 80%, it falls to 45% without using any superb app, just common like facebook, etc...then from 30% to 15% . If anyone there can help me, please guide me to solve this problem.

Did it just start doing this? I actually noticed this happen from time to time on about every ROM I have tried, including CM10.2 which I am running now. But it's not all the time. Just a once or twice a month it seems. And it's usually happens when it hits about 40% or so, then drops like a rock to 15%. If it's happening a lot I would try booting back to stock or running a different ROM and see if it does it there as well. If so it could be an issue with the battery. You could also try installing BetterBatteryStats (it is free here on XDA) and see if that tells you anything.

thanks for the reply sir

Hi, I also get bad battery life when I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, but I got better battery life when I installed 10.2 although I also installed less apps. Have you checked BetterBatteryStats XDA edition yet? It tells you information about kernel wakelocks that could be draining your battery life and you may be able to use this info to fix problems in your phone to improve battery life. And of course when the battery meter reports 20-30% percent it will drop like a rock by 10% (I also experienced this in the Stock ROM from 4.0.4 and 4.1.2)

Massive battery drain after JB update.

Hi,
I was so satisfied with how good battery lasts till JB update came. Before that I would rarely charge before night but now I have to do it every night I am sort of light to average user. My main concern brought this stats you can see screen shot where android system uses most of the battery. What is going onhhere? I have a few apps that using but not much changed in my habits. I am with 3UK

Did you do a full wipe after the update?

Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.

Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.

I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

How would you advice to tackle FB. It looks FB is persistent though on battery guru it's set to refresh it self ,,only when you open it,,
I will do factory reset again and then battery calibration later.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.

I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly

Weirdly though, the battery drop isn't noticeable on stock ROMs..... why would that be?

Maybe you have some major wakelocks going on, but I don't see the phone being awake all the time..
You could always try disabling sync, sync in apps such as facebook, disable GPS, remove the Google+ app.
Do that and see if the issue persists. I'd say it's a dead battery, but the confusing thing is that it doesn't happen when you're on stock ROMs, like you said.
