Happens at random not long after I finish using it. Every so often gallery uses alot of cpu, Near 100%. I use os monitor to monitor my process usage. I just kill it
anyone else notice it?
Update: did abit of searching... Seems like there a few others... Not many though.

I have seen that the gallery app taking alot of battery, without I'm being aware of using it... So can be the same problem. But nothing i can reproduce...
Yeah, that's how I noticed it. Battery was at 29%. I wanted to save it for gps tracking when riding my bike home... Turned my screen on and bam... Dropped to 11%
Mediaserver is draining a lot of my battery as in 54% im on Galaxy Droid 3.3 JVA and ive search other related threads but they dont seem to have a fix anyone have answers?
I noticed that to, Media Server was taking 35% of my battery so I searched and found this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980575 .
According to that post a corrupt file (like a picture or mp3) can cause the battery drain. So I went through my files and found that I had 3 corrupt pictures. I deleted them and boom, battery usage from Media Server went down to 7%.
Three days later the battery usage was back up to 30%. This time I haven't found a solution .
Btw I'm using a Nexus S.
My phone's Cell Standby is eating like 80% of my battery even in flight mode. even if I don't use the phone at all after full charging, the battery goes from 90% to 20% in just about 10-12 hours. I don't know what's causing the problem.
In the cell standby battery status it shows Time without network: 100%
Is there any solution to this? This problem started after I flashed to Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJVP (GT-I9000)
same problem here on ICS 4.2. Media server is keeping my phone awake and so unable to get into deep idle. Really draining the batter hanging the CPU around 400mhz. So far after resetting my galaxy, it's been able to delve into deep idle. But still not sure what caused the media server problem in the first place, and i doubt it's the last time ill see it. In which case i may have to try going through my sd files as in the post above.
i have that problem too..
but only when i listen music with poweramp.
i have even deleted my photos and stuff
is it possible somehow that songs id3 tags causes these problems?
Hmm yeh not sure. I also had a problem with my stock music player not being able to play any songs at all. So I wonder if that did it for me.

Well idont know.maybe there is corrupted file in my music files.but this is first time i have these problems. Been using many roms before and never had problems with mediaserver..
Installed Skype and called once. Battery drainage after installation, turned out the Skype contact sync was causing the issue. Unticked the sync box and battery life back to normal.
How to fix it
The mediaserver thing runs when you open media(photos, music videos) in any program. If you inactivate it you will not be able to access your media. So when your finished with viewing photos or music just go to
apps-->all-->mediastorage-->force stop
DONT CLEAR DATA, I DID IT ONCE AND I COULDN'T ACCESS MY MUSIC FOR A DAY!!!

Not an issue if you use it a lot to hear music or watch videos or photos. I should be back to normal on the next full charge. Everytime the battery is fully charged android creats a new stats file.

The problem is that I took only 5-6 photos only for try the camera, I listened to music for about 40 minutes and I didn't do anything else. With this use I think that 20-25% of mediaserver is a very high battery drain.. Anyone has this problem?
I have the same problem, sometimes it gets 25-30%, and its brand new phone, no music, video, just couple of photos to test camera. Have too high Keep awake time on it, sometimes 2,3h. Here is the picture...

We have the same problem. I've a brand phone too. I read that someone has resolved the problem with titanium backup and he has block the media process. I will wait until 4.3 has been released then if the problem doesn't solve I will root and try to resolve by me.
Hello,
Snapchat is keeping my cpu awake even though i greenified Snapchat.
Does anyone have a solution for that?
Gsam shows Instagram is consuming the battery, but when I check system battery stats, Instagram is nowhere to be seen. Is this a bug in gsam or is Instagram draining my battery?
How do i get a confirmation of this?

It probably just means that when it is running, its using the most battery juice. Another alternative answer could be...Social media apps are always running no matter what you do. Reason being location data and notifications. Apps use "protocols" that are default a part of android. Such as location, notifications and so on. Insta could be using the most battery because its using those built in protocols the most. For example, it could be keeping your data connection active, but you won't really see that because it's not "running" in the foreground.
I look at battery stats like this...they just show you how often an app is open, not how often it runs. And yes the battery stats pages shows "background," but technically, that's just how long the app has been sitting in the background still open, after it was actively on your screen. A prime example of this are music streaming apps that can run in the background without any user interaction whatsoever by the user. Spotify is the most notorious I can think if that I use.
Example of my usage, I run spotify in the morning to listen to my music or podcast. At some point when leaving for work, I literally close it out, but once my work car starts it plays in the background without any interaction from me. That time of it running for some reason isn't showing in battery stats. There are times I have left it that way all day, and at the end of the day, it only shows spotify usage was only 1 hour for that morning I was getting ready for work.

That is perfectly normal of all social media apps. Which is why I do not install them on my device and use the web version instead. Which is essentially the same thing as the app anyway.
