So what's this thread for? You ask if mediaserver is using your battery in the title, then post that you don't use mediaserver!

When i check the battery manager, it always shows that "mediaserver" is taking up like 25 percent of my battery drain. I can even force close it.

Do you Titanium Backup? If so, try freezing it.

Make sure any apps which use mediaserver are actually turned off after use. Just exiting out of them may not stop them running in the background.

You have to uninstall the other version first.
Can any one publish their posts as public with the new app?

I've got the apps installed but it seems like music isn't wanting to load my library. Is anyone else having this problem or am I just being impatient?

I'm using the new music with no problems. I had to uninstall the old one and reboot after install. Google plus works but I don't have a widget like I had with the last version

My only gripe with Google+ is I still haven't discovered any way to change your profile picture without logging into the website.
Profile > touch your photo
Did they fix the overplay issue where streaming music would sometimes repeat instead of moving onto the next track?

Good to know I'm not the only one with that problem.
I thought I goofed something up.
music 4.0
i uninstalled the current music (i uninstalled the orig photon music and i was running google music ever since day one) and pasted music 4.0 in system/apps did a reboot and it runs great.
although i do not see to much difference between V3 and 4.0, but it looks like it runs smooth and there are a few settings added (but then again i didnt play much with the settings in v3)
it also has a smaller widget so i added a shortcut to the app next to the widget. its whatev i guess.

I've been running Music V4 for a couple of days and I haven't experienced the overplay of songs(songs repeat after finishing current time exceeds total time) This used to happen at least 5+ times a day so I'm thinking they fixed it in this latest version. Bravo Google.

gotta question..need some help

Ive noticed ever since i upgraded to ICS.. ALL my music has the same album art...ive downloaded apps that say they clean it up and find the correct ones but nothing has worked. I cannot find anything that works or to fix it...and its very annoying...please help!!
Ive also attached a few screen shots to show what i mean...all help is appreciated.
Wow, my phone does the same thing! Never noticed it before, mainly because I don't use the stock music player, but you could try rebooting into stock recovery and clearing cache, cache only- not data. That seems to fix alot of things for alot of ppl. I use poweramp, it works like a dream but you have to go through the settings and specify which folders to play from or it will play literally every piece of audio in your phone, including ringtones and game music, gets annoying sometimes to have to skip through so many things.

new youtube update for gingerbread

has anyone else experienced force closes on youtube app ever since the update?
No, and this update is AWESOME!! The new ui is amazing, and the preloading feature is like heaven on my slow internet! If you are experiencing force closing, I suggest using titanium backup to wipe the data. This fixed an issue of google earth force closing for me. Just wiping data in settings is not enough, you have to use titanium backup.

First try changing your dpi back to stock and if that doesn't help, it is probably an issue with cm7.

I downgraded to the version 2.5.16 of YouTube. I don't feel like going back to stock dpi just to get the new YouTube app working. I prefer the 120 dpi setting.
my theory is the new YouTube app is trying to load the tablet ui, which Google did not back port yet.
I'm on IcyFusion for the 4.0, it wont even let me download the new Youtube app. I tried backing it up on my GS2, and restoring it on the 4.0, but it won't allow it.

4.4.2 Stock de-bloating list

So I've always tried to keep my roms as light as possible, as I don't use many LG functions. Thought I'd share my list!
All the applications listed are frozen with Titanium Backup. Hope someone else will have use for this
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
A lot of the bloatware can actually be uninstalled. Just be sure to have a Nandroid backup ready (don't do this if you don't have a custom recovery and a backup), because uninstalling some things can cause a Security Error when you try to boot. I found out the hard way yesterday that uninstalling LGSmartcardService will cause that error, but I was able to remove a lot of other things.

It would be helpful if you can list out the 'Safe to Remove' bloatware if possible,
Right. But the /system partition isn't really readily available for anything useful, so I settled with freezing it at the moment. I've heard of people running into trouble when actually removing the apps before as well, beware!
