Huge battery drain issue from Mediaserver - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm on stock ROM with 920T and having huge battery drain from Mediaserver. It just starts running wild for no apparent reason, making the phone run 100 degrees F and burning the battery down in a couple of hours even with screen off and apps closed. My only option seems to reboot.
I have no MP3s nor other media on the phone, so I'm completely baffled. I'm not rooted and have disabled bloatware. Same problem occurs with all packages enabled?
Any ideas?
Thanks

[Q] Read battery log after restart

I have an issue I'd like to debug, but I need some information to help myself:
I charge my SGS (JM1) in the evening, when it's 100% full I disconnect the charger and go to bed (23:30), phone switches to airplane mode at 24:00. When I get up 8h after, my phone is off and has absolutely no battery left.
This happens every now and then, IMHO there's no app causing this (haven't installed anything lately). I can't reproduce the issue.
How would I best debug this and try to find out what's causing the battery drain?
Can I still read the battery log after a restart?

Don't see Amy bad apps.
You can.use sgs toolbox to see the battery usage is.
Some make the phone almost never go in powersave mode.

Thank you so far.
I looked at the battery usage stats and saw that bluetooth was enabled for more than 7 hours (although it was disconnected). That IMHO shouldn't have completely drained the battery though...
I am seeing the same problem recently; the battery drains out really quickly in no time even when there are no major apps running. Even the battery usage menu shows nothing major. During this time I have noticed that the phone gets really hot and the battery indicator app shows that the battery temperature as b/w 40-50 C (its around 25-35 C when there is no issue). During this time I can't even make calls or send/receive SMS!!! Seems that it just cannot get a network signal.
There were no such issues for the last couple of months. I can't imagine an app directly or indirectly causing this.
If an app keep the phone awake all.the time and use wifi/Bluetooth/gps it will drain the phone fast.
The only solution is to find out where the flaw is.
Personal i would backup the phone and do a complete wipe/ reset of the phone so it will be clean and like new. Then i would test to se if it drain the battery.
If it does then it is broken and need a.repair. Else i would start to intake the apps i need, but looking close what they do.

Have you installed any lagfixes recently? When I had voodoo lagfix on jg4 I would get at best 8 hours of stand by time. As soon as I flashed jpm I get 1% drain per hour
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have not installed any lagfixes, my phone is on stock JG4 firmware. The battery life is otherwise very good, only at times (very random) the battery starts draining from 100% to 0% in a matter of few hours.I use System panel to check if there is any app that is causing this, but it does not indicate anything like that.
The only thing that I can think of is that the phone for some reason looses network (I can't make a call and send/receive sms during this time) and keeps trying to reconnect without success and hence drains out the battery. Once I reboot the phone everything becomes fine and the battery usage becomes normal. Is there any way to find out that the phone is trying to connect to the mobile network and this is causing the battery to drain out?
Neither do I, never used any lagfix so far, I'm on stock JM1.

Gnarf, it just happend again. Before going to work it was all normal, now it's frozen.
I connected it to my computer, but WinXP recognized it as an unknown device.
ADB doesn't work, else I had pulled the logfiles.
maybe u should consider upgrading to JM7 or JM9. and before installing apps do a full reset and cache wipe.

Galaxy note over heating (System UI hogging CPU)

Hi,
I've a G-Note running ICS-4.0.3 , i recently noticed my phone is getting really hot and resetting automatically at times, on closer investigation i see 'CPU spy' data showing my phone running constantly at 1400Mhz mode!!! wanting to find which process is doing this, i downloaded watchdog lite and noticed that 'System UI' process is running at 49% approx CONSTANTLY, killing it re-spwans the process!! any idea whats causing this?? Please Help!!
Not rooted, never flashed, on original upgrade, have nova launcher, use it rarely. no other launchers installed.
Restart fixes this sometimes, sometimes not.
Thanks in advance,

I infact got deep sleep the whole day, 15 hrs just 10 percent drained! this problem has been occuring intermittently, deep sleep is still happenning, but when the phone is screen ON, its in the highest mode.
Hmm things got complicated.Like I said if everything used to be normal then all of a sudden this problem began then it should be an app I suppose?!Just like my case.
Install OS Monitor and see what's hogging your cpu maybe you can pinpoint the application if that's the case.
did anybody have a problem with Gsam battery monitor after it was upgraded from Badass battery monitor??? i was looking at it and was showing 100% battery drain due to application ( 0% for screen and phone radio)!! i have uninstalled it and seems fine i guess! atleast for now! charging now and its in the expected 200Mhz state.

Yes will do that!! Thanks! read my comment below, i think GSam Battery monitor submits some task or makes some query to the kernel which makes it to go in a loop, hence the android system seems to be using more CPU and not battery monitor itself
The problem is back!! HELP!!
I checked OS monitor, nothing seem to be hogging, occasionally android system, overhearting near the camera and resetting automatically, please HELP!!!

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem. When my Note is in standby sometimes it overheats without any apparent reason and battery drains very fast.
I haven't been able to trace the origin of this problem. I'm running on ICS 4.0.3 stock and no ROOT.

Have you installed any kind of launcher on your phone? If you have, do try to uninstall it for now. Install BetterBatteryStats, turn off any data connection.. 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth.. Remove any Live wallpapers(just use a static one), Uninstall any apps that connect or syncs online.
The last thing I could advice you is turn off Airplane Mode (at night), charge up your phone to 100% and just leave it for a day. Check back on BetterBatteryStats after on what apps/wakelocks is triggering the overheating.

Lot's of work... I'll have to find some time to try all of that.
Thanks.
Early last week my Note started to reboot whitout any apparent reason. It happened 2 to 3 times a day. Specially in the morning when battery was still above 60%.
The overheating also happened from time to time but not everyday.
Saturday I figured I had to do something extreme to end this.
First I downgraded to a pre-rooted GB rom. Afterwards wiped the GB rom. Then upgraded to stock ICS. Everything worked out fine and was very easy to perform, thanks to all the guides available on XDA.
Last of all I rooted the ICS.
Until now the Note hasn't overheated or rebooted again.
I really thought it would be harder to do all this. But now I think it would take me about 20 min to do all these procedures.
Thanks to all the people that posted the guides on XDA.

I'll take that as a joke.
Three days in and still no unwanted reboots or overheating.
Gents if you have nothing constructive to provide in assisting the users with real help, please refrain from off topic mindless humor. Thank you.
A week after I've re-flashed ICS on my Note, the unwanted reboots have come back.
It must be some app I've installed again or maybe something much worse. I've read lots of threads and was wondering if a custom kernel and a different ROM might solve this problem.
One thing I've noted, the reboots never happen at night only during the day (mid-morning and mid-afternoon).
Any new ideas to help me find the source of this problem?
EDIT:
I'm running on LPY Kernel, so wipe is not an option...

[Q] Constant frozen\stuck apps and processers

Sup people,
I just got a GN1 and it was on gingerbread 2.3.5, then I flashed it to Omni ROM 4.4.4, Raw Kernel R5 and PA gapps, did a factory reset and installed apps from zero.
But Ive been experiencing some heating and battery draining sometimes. I think that this probably happens due to a stuck process or app. But how can I identify what its getting froze and making my phone heat and battery get drained? What if this isnt the cause, what could be doing this?
Try a battery pull for a couple of seconds and monitor.

5.1.1 Battery Drain

Is anyone else having huge issues with battery drain after updating to 5.1.1. I've disabled all the crap, wiped my cache, disabled enhanced LTE. and have minimal apps installed besides stock. Just took the phone off the battery charger. It was at 100% when removed. It's been sitting for 40 min with the screen off. The battery is down to 93% already with 3% being used by Android system, 1% by system UI, and 1% by Android OS. This is nuts. I can't even get through 1/2 a day of regular use. Any ideas?
Big time. My phone isn't going to sleep. My Android System Stay Awake time is more than double my screen on time.
I'm having the same problem. I currently have Location History turned on to get more surveys on Google Opinion Rewards (I could turn that off if I wanted to); and I also know that because I'm not in WiFi during the day, the Lollipop mobile radio active bug keeps the radio awake way longer than it should. It's crazy that I can leave my phone alone during the day and watch it drop ~5% an hour because of the horrible standby behavior.
There is something wrong with your phone or app. I have about 100 apps. No problem here.

I guess it might make sense to stay on 5.0.2 in hopes of a future bootloader unlock and to stay away from a potential battery draining bug. If only AT&T would embrace a more open approach to this model phone. I only got this phone because the nexus was out of stock and I was in need of a new phone. My trusty old S3 was a godsend, with its unlocked bootloader and fully open platform. The fact that AT&T is closing up the ability to root the phone is drastic enough, let alone introducing bugs that make you want to throw the phone at the wall (battery drain).
How can I see what is keeping my phone awake without root? It's staying awake 3/4 of the time and below is a shot of my app usage. What I can tell it's a system issue, but not sure. And yes I factory reset twice and wiped cache.
Same here. factory reset cache wipe x2 and have everything non essential disabled. It's driving me nuts! This phone was a rockstar until this update. Going to best buy tomorrow and will see if the Samsung folks can reinstall the update or something. I'll post what I find out.
Battery life is worse than my old s4. The screen barely takes any of it, when it used to be more than half the battery life on my s4. Yet I still get about the same screen on time.
Yup I completely agree. Left my phone at 53% overnight and I woke up to the phone completely drained and dead. It's ridiculous.
I noticed something odd. On wifi, battery life is great, maybe 1% every 2 hours idle. But without wifi, battery life goes down 10% an hour idle.
Finally made it to the Samsung center at best buy. The guy was able to force the update again and everything went smooth. So far maybe a little better, not sure yet. I'll post when I know for sure if it worked and was a bad update.
So after the forced re-do of the update it wasn't any better. List 20% at night with everything off. Dido another factory reset and cache wipe and that seems like it might have fixed it. Only 4% list last. Not as good as it was but definite improvement. Hope this helps anyone else with same issue.

TurboRZR please update... would love to know if that fixed it before I wipe my S6 for a second time.
I too am having an issue with the new 5.1.1 update where my "Android System" is getting stuck in a stay awake loop draining my battery. Sometimes a simple restart will fix it for a few hours, but it will always come back.
I installed wakelock detector and set it up to run on a non-rooted phone. When I pulled the statistics , the biggest battery drain I had under "Android System" was diagnostic.client.network. Nothing else even came close to the drain this resource was pulling.
This was as far as I was able to get as I have no idea what that is or how to disable it if I even should.
I have resolved the issue on my S6 Edge, I even attempted a factory reset which didn't resolve the issue. I had noticed my Wifi usage in GSAM was very high (50-70%) and after some searches I found that someone else posted in a different forum (I think it was the S6 Active forum) that the issue was related to multicast being enabled on wifi routers. I disabled it on my fios router (it's in a hidden menu) and it resolved my drain. I am now at 12 days uptime without a random drain. I also had to disabled Enhanced LTE as that was causing a HUGE drain at times when I didn't have LTE. I hope this helps.

Help! After latest "update", Bluetooth is the only thing showing in battery stats?

Help! After latest "update", Bluetooth is the only thing showing in battery stats?
OK, so there was a new stock "update" and an old problem came back, namely that my phone shows Bluetooth as the only thing using battery. I had this a while ago (in this thread here about "crazy mega bluetooth battery drain") but the same fix of resetting the logs does not seem to be working.
A short time after charging the phone and resetting the logs, the phone shows Bluetooth has a CPU total of 0s, Keep awake of 7s, and computed power use of 17895mAh. No other process is listed as using battery!
The phone is stock, not rooted, "updated" to N8I11F with the OTA that came last week.
Anyone know how I might resolve this?

OK, yesterday after I drove my car which has Microsoft Sync 2, the bluetooth problem returned. So I went through the threads again and did found that maybe the reset wasn't working because I was charging with an LG charger at work. So I tried topping off the battery with the OEM turbo charger (and not using a Qi charger either). Tethering is off as well.
But this is also not seeming to work. After 22 hours, BT is showing 23% battery use (though I do now see other apps in the battery stats).
Still looking for a solution.
Did you turn off instant tethering as suggested in that thread?

Yes, instant tethering is off.
I can confirm that if I charge the phone and don't use Bluetooth, the problem does not exist. I was able to let my phone run for 24 hours and the battery stats were normal, showing more than 1 day of runtime at the beginning.
As soon as I connect to my car, then only Bluetooth shows in the battery stats and the battery life is reported as shortened considerably.

Fingers crossed that once you put in that effort, the problem is fixed. You could try going into safe mode and see if that resolves things. Safe mode will reset ROM/system settings, but you won't lose your apps.

Don't do it, it's not going to work.
I learned how to live with battery drain stats
I'm on Oreo and doesn't matter what custom ROM I'm on this annoying issue occurs always when I keep my BT open, but not connected to any device
I've tried all the "fixes": not optimizing the BT, clear the BT cache, clear the bootloader logs, disabled the BT tethering etc... none of them helped.
When I connect to a device (headphones, or car) the consumption is normal and very low, no problem of showing the correct figures in Battery menu.
The issue occurs only if BT is not connected.
I can't believe this issue has not been reported yet to Google, but it seems they don't care about it...
Well, after using Safe Mode, no difference. I think that even if I don't use a Bluetooth device the problem comes up after a while.
How can we report this to Google? They don't support the phone any longer...

Is your battery original? The only time I have personally had to trouble was when my battery started failing. It was a precise to the early shutdowns and when I replaced the battery, I never had the problem again. Not on Nougat or Oreo.

Yes, original battery. The phone was purchased as new old stock last August. The battery is good, runs all day with heavy use, or more than a day when I'm not using the phone much.
Well, all I can tell you is this doesn't not exist on every phone. And unlike the earlier post indicating it's an inherent problem on Oreo, the attached screenshots show that's not true on my device.
The first image is after some time with Bluetooth on but not connected and the second with a device connected.
OK, so Google support connected me to Motorola support and they had me try clearing my storage cache which did not work. I will try calling them back tonight as I have a case open.
If that doesn't pan out I'm going to try doing a factory reset and setting up the phone as a new device - I've not done this before so I hope it's straightforward. Then I will use the phone stock for a day to see what if anything happens. If it's all good I will re-add my applications one at a time. I don't have all that many apps on the phone.
It might have to wait since I have some other work and household projects going on, but if I do find the root cause I will post back here.
OK, reporting back. Motorola support was polite but unhelpful. Reset the phone, reset the logs, oh thats it - out of warranty, replace the phone for $$$ even though it was our OTA that caused the problem.
No thank you, Motorola. I'll spend my money elsewhere after you broke my phone.
However, my complaints aside, I am tentatively pleased to report that the behavior has changed, and if it keeps running this way I'll hang on to the phone until it's well worn.
The change is that now even though only Bluetooth is shown as battery draining, the phone shows more normal battery stats so it's like it was before the update. For example at the moment I have 68%, 1 day 6 hours left, 14 hours after last full charge (I charged it and let it sit idle overnight, then today have been re-installing the few apps I use like Authenticator, Outlook, Facebook, WhatsApp, WyzeCam, DropBox, Dark Sky, Alarm Clock Xtreme). The only change made from stock was to turn off Bluetooth tethering in settings and to turn off Bluetooth headset in the Assistant. Before this, after connecting to my car radio and driving for 30-40 minutes or so, the battery estimate would drop from >1 day to 7-8 hours. It did not do that today so I figured I'd try and reinstall my apps.
This change is purely by chance, I am not certain that this can help anyone else. Here is what I did:
1) Backup local data.
2) Reset phone to factory from the menu in Settings.
3) Setup up phone as a new device.
4) Turn off Bluetooth tethering in settings.
5) Turn off Bluetooth headset in the Assistant.
6) Shutdown, clear logs.
7) Restart, install Battery Calibration app (Imobs Ltd.) (paid version).
8) Run a "Premium Calibration".
9) Charge phone to 100% using the OEM TurboCharger.
10) Let phone sit idle overnight.
I'm hoping the behavior sticks after I reinstall my apps. I'll post back if it does not.
It's been a while and I was going through my phone cleaning up pictures when I remembered this thread.
So I opened my battery settings on the phone and somehow the battery statistics are working properly - I see a normal list of items for power consumption.
I am confused because I have not made any further changes to the phone settings or attempts to solve this aside from uninstalling Battery Calibration and using AccuBattery to keep an eye on battery life, but those changes were made months ago.

Did you update your Oreo ROM to a newer version? I am running ABC ROM and my battery stats weren't working until a recent update. It never bothered me so I never made any attempts to fix it, it just started working on its own again.

No updates for me - I'm running stock build N8I11F.
It must have been an update to some other component that fixed it. I can not think of any other way for it to suddenly be "fixed".
