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.

Re: Mediaserver battery drain
I was having the same problem. I found that when I removed the music widget from the home the drain stopped. It worked for me hope it works for you

If youre on root, download rescan media root. Disable automatic scanning.
Then download rescan media to rescan manually.
Both are available on play store

[Q] Battery draining fast when turning on 3g and phone is getting extremely hot

Got the z two days back, the ph works fine normally, but as soon as i turn on 3g it gets extremely hot and battery dropped from 100% to 75 in 30 mins. No apps are running in the background. Please help me out...
Dont know what to do. Tried updating firmware, but still the same.

What do you mean by extremely hot? (If you place the phone on your skin then remove, does it change you skin colour to a pink hue?) becuase that is extremely hot for a phone (My HTC running turn by turn navigation did that normally) The battery should not drain that fast, the only suggestion I could make is that you might have a faulty unit, it shouldn't do that.

Have you tried to freeze/disable the fast dormancy app which comes with the stock rom?

It's called "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup".
The files are: "/system/app/fast-dormancy-wakeup.apk" and "/system/app/fast-dormancy-wakeup.odex"
For more relevant info in the Fast Dormancy subject, search it on Google. It can save battery when your provider supports it or drain when it doesn't.

Battery problem

I am running sweet rom v5 and my battery has been draining pretty fast... Like about 20% in one night. I have bbs(better battery service), installed and I checked my kernel wake locks and there seems to be something called "powermanagerservice" that's been on from the time since I unplugged it from the charger.... Any suggestions as to what is the problem? Is it an app or is it the rom. Also when I was on Samsung stock jelly bean from Germany this same thing was waking up my kernel. Here is a screenshot:

Umm followed the instructions and in partial wake locks there is something called AudioOut_2 causing the problem... Any idea what it is?

Yes.I know mine was directly related to touch sounds screen unlock sound and basically kind of every sound that came out of the device.It shouldn't be a problem unless the audio out_2 minute counter keeps rising for no reason.

Can anyone help me figure out what's keeping my phone up (wake locks)

When I saw these stats from my gsam app I got pretty worried and confused. Can any one help me figure out what is exactly keeping my phone up so much?
I dont have Google now enabled so I'm not sure what the heck "Google services" are waking my device that many darn times. this is a screenshot from yesterday. I downloaded wakelock detector and I'll post screenshots from that too.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Here are screenshots from today which even though I've barely been using my phone I'm still getting pretty bad drainage. I'm on viper 1.2.1 stock kernel any help is greatly appreciated please don't tell me to reflash the Rom though as I'm almost positive it's not an issue with the Rom itself
Thanks for any help guys really appreciated

Not quite sure. I guess the first step would be to start disabling any google made apps that you dont use..... Do you have any consistent running background programs? When was the last time you rebooted your phone?

I posted screenshots from the wake lock app and it looks like I'm getting high wake locks from the lockscreen. Is this normal? I rebooted my phone and I don't have any consistently running apps that I know of.
If anyone else could give any input

my wakelock for lockscreen says 54s (x163)
IdleScreen:event_15 (29s) (x42)
IdleScreen:command_15 (25s) (x121)
But these should just be swiping up for unlock and putting in my pattern..... so..... yeah. no idea. Do you use Greenify?

Xperia V - Huge battery drain (Google Services)

My Xperia V was draining much battery while sleeping, so yesterday I flashed cm-10.1.3-RC2 hoping it could get better.
But it's still draining almost 30% in a period of 8 hours, while I'm sleeping.
I can notice a huge drain caused by Google Services and have already greenified some apps.
It can't be normal, right?! Could someone help me?
Despite this problem, now I have a really better smartphone... So, thank FXP and, please, keep supporting Xperia V. :thumbup:

Not sure if this question belongs to be an own thread...but ok. here we go.
from my experience with Cm i can tell you, if you want better battery life, then you maybe should use a stock firmware!
I used CM and AOKP some weeks before, but the battery drain wasnt normal, not to say horrible.
But this is my experience. You should ask in your CM-Rom Thread, or CM Q/A Thread i think.

I'm a new member and I couldn't ask this in CM thread
I understood what you've said, but even using stock rom I was having that percentage of draining at night...
Do you have a Xperia V?
Could you (or someone else) tell me how much draining is considered normal in the period I've mentioned before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

30% in 8 hours means that on average your battery will last a day.
That is perfectly normal.
Also, if you keep flashing stuff and installing apps then it drains battery quicker. Leave it alone for a week and see if it settles down.

Sorry, i have a Xperia T.
in the xperia T thread of tilals unofficial CM build (development section) someone mentions also such problems:

Seriously though this ROM is great. All that needs to be fixed are the camera bug, music wakelock thing, and heavy battery usage from Android System and Google Services and then it's basically perfect.

So, i guess its normal? But an actual CM User can give you better report. Not using it anymore.
awww, gregbradley?
30% in 8hours sleeping? horrible....but you are right, let it settle, fmlogin

Omg, my Galaxy s3 loses only 2% in the same period while sleeping, it's a BIG difference
I had been facing this problem since I bought this phone (2 months ago), that's why I tried to flash CM yesterday... So, I think that nothing will change if I just wait...
Anyway, thank you guys...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

apologies, I didn't see that it was 8 hours while you were asleep. That is not right. But it may be because its working hard after a flash. Please leave it for a while and it should settle, or install better battery stats app (Free on xda) and see whats keeping the phone awake.
Also check what your cpu is set at and the governor, if its on performance it will be maxing out all the time..

The governor is ondemand and I didn't change the clock of cpu...
I'll install the app and come back with a screenshot, so I think it'll be easier to find some problem

Hi,
I'm running the stock firmware. The battery drain during one night (about 8 hours) is ~ 5%.

Mavhia, can you notice an unusual consume from google services?
Good to know that this isn't happening only with my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Some screenshots.
The graphs show another problem: it is like the phone just know that lost some battery when I turn on the screen.
For example: if I leave the phone with 95%, it pass the hole night "thinking" it has this value, but when I turn on the screen the battery instantly loses around 15%, this "fast drain" stabilizes when it reaches the "real percentage".
Could it be a hardware problem? The battery itself...
Has already someone noticed something similar?
