Right, im on 2.3.3 with my X10, and ive noticed in the battery usage section in the menu that something called media has 21% so far, even though ive not used any media at all, and in 38 mins from being fully charged im down to 85% battery lol.
Anyway this media thing says when i click on it
Cpu total 11mins
Cpu Foreground 6mins
Keep awake 7 mins 54secs
included packages, DRM protected content storage
Downloads,
Download manager
Media Storage..
So out of all that anything i can do to stop this?
Do you have many media files (music, photos etc?) on your card ?
It might be that the media scanner kicked in to index / search around. If this is the case, maybe this post could help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15037379&postcount=35

aye i do, quite a few pictures and alot of music on there, But nothing changed so im not sure why it scanned again, plus it ate the battery like mad from a fully charged battery to 85%
No software is perfect...
In my case, the scanner hogged the CPU the first time I booted the phone after update, gallery worked very very poorly, freezes, etc. Eventually it finished and now it seems ok.
If it keeps doing it, just reset, and if it insists - just add a '.nomedia' file and it should not scan the big folders anymore. Please read more about .nomedia file limitations here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626997
Right cheers for that, ill give that a shot and see what happens, was just annoying to see my freshly charged battery disapear lol

So a bit of background. I'm running:
ROM: [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.1.2][JZO54K] SuperNexus - I777 - BUILD 5
Kernel: Siyah - JELLYBEAN - ICS [v4.3.3]
Currently phone is telling me media is 82% of my usage and I have absolutely no clue what that could be. I'm not downloading anything.
I've had the battery for over 1+ year so I know I'm due for a replacement but this usage rate seems ridiculous.
Any thoughts? Thanks friends.
Media scanner going crazy. Download an app from the play store to stop it from acting wonky. Yes u can find the name of the app. I believe in u.
Yeah one night my media scanner went crazy and made my phone feel like it was about to melt. It was draining the battery on the charger. I didn't download an app to stop the media scanner but I don't see it scan anymore. Now I just use an app/widget that scans when you press it.

Had this problem a long time ago..
Try adding a blank file named .nomedia on the internal and sd card root...
That fix it for me. Good luck there hope this helps

I had that issue, media scanner would not stop. I took my 32 GB SD card out, moved the files I needed, reformatted it (didn't use quick format, did it the long way), stuck the files back, and put it back in the phone. Now no more media scanner running always. I had read somewhere that the file structure on the external media card could get messed up causing that issue.
I was checking my battery status in settings and noticed Media Server has taken 56% of my battery, and has caused my phone to stay awake for over 18 hours and has almost 5 hours of CPU time. I have been getting over a days worth of battery with 4-5 hours of screen on time, I am currently at 22 hours with only 1.5 hours of screen on time. I don't see a way to stop it from running in Application Manager.
Is there a way to stop this process from keeping my phone awake? Is this connected with any particular application, or called something else in Application Manager?
I'm having the same issue as well.
I've seen it take a decent chunk more than once. Only like 15% at max so I'm not doing nearly as bad though. I'm curious about what it is exactly as well.

Yeah I have always noticed it on my list, but it was never a huge drain on the battery. Like you said in the 15% range, all of the sudden though it just jumped up to over 50%. I can't think of an application I have used to make it use such a huge chunk of my battery.
So I went back into Application Manager and noticed under the Running tab that there was a "Show cached processes" option in the top right corner. Under that there was a Media application listed that uses the "android.process.media" process. Any chance that this could be related to the Media Server, or am I heading in the wrong direction?
I have recharged and restarted my phone, and Media Server is back down to 6% after discharging for 5 hours. I would just like to know what I possibly did to make my battery drain so quickly. I haven't watched any movies or videos and Pandora is the only time I listen to music on my phone.
According to my research, the media service covers scanning your internal and external sdcards for media files, including music, pictures and videos. If one file is corrupted in some way, it can cause the service to hang. That said, mine was doing the same thing. There's an app on the play store called Media Rescan Root that blocks the service at boot. The stock media player, player pro, and probably others use the media service to find new songs added to the sdcard. I switched over to PowerAmp which does its own search which doesn't hang like that. That's what I reccomend.

Do you have Drive installed?
I had the same issue with media server eating up about 60% battery. I have Google Drive installed and have around 1gb data in it. In accounts my sync settings were set to always sync Drive. I unchecked this and the media server issue seemed to have been resolved.See if this helps you.

I unchecked media sync, and put back in my SD card, which has about 12 gb of music on it. Within 10 minutes, the media scanner jumped from .02% to 12%, so this didn't seem to make a difference for me.

Same thing happened to me. Mine turned out to be m4a files that were causing. I removed them and no longer see mediaserver power drain.
I read a forum a few days ago that talked about wifi causing the media service drain. They said to set a static IP address instead of dynamic and that would solve the problem. I spend most of my time on wifi so this makes a little bit of sense to me. I have set a static address and so far today my media service has remained at 3%. I don't have the link to the forum right now but I'll try to find it again and link to it later.

Edit: Apparently that did not last long. My Media Server stayed down at 2% for several hours but then for no aparent reason it spiked up to its current usage of 31% (2hr CPU time and 7hr of Stay Awake). I would really like to know what is causing this.

Probably an overactive media scanner (android media process). I have the same problem since updating to the stock official 4.1.2 XXLS8.
I'm not sure what the solution is. You can disable the android media process (application manager -> media storage -> select and disable). However, if you do so then not only do you lose access to media files in the standard music and video players, but you also lose all your sound files for ringtones, notifications, email and SMS alerts etc. So as solutions go that one's a bit rubbish...
Rescan Media Root is also ineffective. I don't know why, possibly something to do with Jellybean that prevents it from working.
I've seen many posts in different forums about this, it seems to be a common issue with the 4.1.2 JB releases. Some say it is partly fixed in JB 4.2 but that isn't much use to us right now.
You could try reformatting your memory card as some say that corrupted files cause the problem. However, others say this 'fix' is unsuccessful and the excessive scanning continues regardless.

Try this workaround:
Copy you DCIM folder to your External SD Card. Empty Internal SD card's DCIM folder (files, not the folders, just leave it empty).
Set your external SD Card's DCIM folder to default for pics & video.
Reboot.

Sadly no change for me.
Emptied DCIM on internal SD, camera was already set to external SD for storage. Rebooted, and Android Media Process is now busy hammering my CPU again.
This is so frustrating. I lose 50% battery in ten hours, and I'm now scared to actually use the device at all when I'm out and about for fear of losing power altogether. Google have known about it since October - see this issue thread.
I had similar issues after I've installed the same rom on my phone. After a few awful days of fiddling with it and endless cycles of recharging, I've decided to do a clean reinstall. After I did a clean install last night, everything seemed better. The battery wasn't overheating, wasn't even draining that fast. During the night (5 hours of sleep I got, actually), BetterBatteryStats had shown me that I had only ~5 minutes of awake state vs the 5hrs of deep sleep.
But! Today after work, my battery started going crazy again. Left work with ~35% and I've discharged it completely after some 30-40 minutes of Ingress play (gps + 3g + screen on). Something's awfully wrong with this version, no fix worked for me (except the mediascanner issue which resolved itself after I did a clean install).
Any and every advice is more than welcome.

Try freezing gallery as soon as it boots, check with betterbattery stats if media scanner stops when you do.
If it stops it within 50 seconds or so make sure you have no files at all in internal DCIM, only the -empty- cache folder inside.

Hello,
I have also installed JB through Odin and facing same battery drain issue. It's finishing like a in a day without using any high app ( FB, Browsing, Twitter etc)
Please help me or I'll need to roll back to ICS .
you're kidding me right?
20 hours with 35% left on battery and 44% screen usage?
Bluetooth on, avast and who knows what more crap you got there. Every app running in background drains your battery, but again, you are looking at a 3 % / hour drain.

No, I am not kidding. it was just opened to test and received a reply on twitter once the wifi connected. If I am not using my phone and let it without open anything. Next day it will be at 70% which does not seem right to me. ICS was much better, I was using wifi and 3g as well almost all day than it used to go be on 40-50%.

Is it normal to have a steady 10% battery usage by Media Server?
Re: Media Server battery usage
Do you listen to a lot of music, or listen regularly, more to the point? 10% usage indicates to me you are just listening to music, if it jumps right up then you might have the media bug, but doesn't sound like it to me, from that stat

Actually I don't listen to music at all (with the phone), that's why I don't understand the media server running constantly.

Hmm, well you can disable the media scanner with rescan media root from Play, do you have a lot of pictures or other media?
It can also run a lot if your sd card is corrupt, if you ever get messages that your card has been ejected then the media scanner will run again after each mount.
Another problem can be nandroid backups, if you use the wrong format you end up with thousands of tiny files which makes the scanner run for ages.
Re: Media Server battery usage
Just to share, yesterday I changed my stock battery for an extended Hyperion 4400, media scanner drain 5% of it in 15 min, the device was also hot, I had to force close the media scanner several times until I reboot twice and it stopped, got annoyed by it, and it's also first time it happens, nothing abnormal in my sd or internal.

I don't have problem with the card being ejected. However I have titanium backup running twice a week. It does create a fair amount of files.

Hi.
So it's been 9 months since I'm using my LG Optimus l9 P765 and for the first 7 months it was perfectly fine. Later on, I was having battery draining problems ; like 50%+ battery draining overnight when not charging. Currently, I'm having 2 problems at the same time : Battery Drainage and Media files scanning.
Day before yesterday, I was using my phone at night until it was 60%. I left it and woke up in the morning finding my phone was shut down (0%) and I started charging it. The Media files started to scan and it didn't complete till the night! Today morning, when I woke up at 6, the SD card files were scanning yet! That's almost 2 days and media files not scanned. Also, I clicked on "app info" while the media files were scanning and I "Force Stopped" System UI. Now it's still scanning the media files.
For the battery problem ;
I have battery use :
Phone Idle ALWAYS above 45%
sdCard ALWAYS above 25%
Android OS Above 10%
Wifi/Android System/Hike/What'sApp/Facebook around 1-5%.
Wil factory reset help with these problems? If not please help me with a solution!
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : My phone has a internal memory of around 2GB and SDCARD 16GB.
EDIT : I think this problem is occuring ever since I Upgraded to a new android version (did that a few months ago)

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I've heard about Deep Sleep Battery Saver, I read about it online and it specifies that it kill's background processes and sync's only once every 30 minutes. I get a lot of What'sApp/Hike messages which I sometimes have to reply to in every 30 minutes so I don't think it's pretty much a good option for me.
I'll surely check out Greenify and tell you if it helps!
Also, if you might, can you explain the sdcard copying and other things? I didn't catch up with your first option!
Media Scanner can be deleted

If you have ROOT, you can uninstall the media scanner service completely. In ES Files Explorer, Turn on Root Explorer, then tap on "Root Explorer" Not the on button but the actual icon, Uninstall System app, type Media in Search, then uninstall it. Should solve that issue, because Media Scanner made by LG is coded SO horribly, it took ages on mine too. Note I am using the p769 version, SO far, to me it's been safe so yeah. Just use a different Gallery and music player in it's place and voila. NEVER deal with it again... ever. Make sure you do a Backup in Recovery, because things may go wrong for different people.
This can be caused by an excessive number of files on the device. Often lost cache files, after their index has been damaged. These then can only be deleted with a filemanager. In my case Dolphin browser has a tendency to produce such junk. The Storage Analyzer app is helpful in finding out where the stuff might sit. Search for app directories with hundreds or thousands of files, and if they're in a folder called cache or webview, they are quite safe to delete.

As lg media scanning code are may be like that it scan folder wise and so it tackes long time ... for ur info i experiment on my sd class u1 on fregmenting file it tackes horribly long time and if one of file is corrupt it goes and goes on

I wnt to add one more thing in my case internal sd card tack only 3-5sec (no media file) and 16gb sd card around 30-50 sec (5gb song, 3gb photo, 1gb video and 3gb other things ) since u are using from long time without factory reset installed many app and many of them may be removed many app creat junk as stated by member. If scanning time is more on internal memory (if media file is there may take more time) i think u need factory reset (first tack necessary backup)
