Does anyone know how to disable the media scanner, that runs on every boot?
I don't want to uninstall it, because sometimes you'll need to run it manually to detect new media files, but I don't want it running on every startup
I thought it was necessary so it can see what you have on your SD card?

Is this your first samsung phone? It always runs at the start by design in every samsung android phone, as far as i know there is nothing you can do about it unless a dev can find a way to change it in a custom rom.

Media Scanner is a process and just like any other process it either runs as a service, or invoked by some init.* startup script. I'm simply asking for guidance how to modify phone configuration to disable the startup of this process.
Contents of /sdcard are cached, so the only price you pay if it doesnt run is that it wont see any changes, occured since it was last active. If you dont add/remove files on your phone all that frequently - disabling it wont have much impact and it will noticeably improve startup performance
Back in the captivate days there was a script that as created to disable this but it proved to be more of a hinderence than a help, I don't recommend it. But if you really insist search the threads over there and see if you can find it. Who knows it may work maybe with a mod here or there
Rescan Media Root from the Market will disable the media scanner.
iirc Nitrality in the market can disable media scan too

I disagree. I added a 32 GB card a few days ago, nearly full with songs, and my time from power button to lock screen didn't change at all. Yes, the scan takes a while and doesn't finish until well after the lock screen appears but it is a background process. It doesn't prevent you from using the device.

Can you use the camera though?
I too have a 32 Gb card installed with a mixture of films, music and apps. My media scanner can take 2-3 hours to run and whilst I can use the phone for most things, it does prevent me from viewing photos and more critically taking photos.
I have on numerous occations not be able to take photos of the kids doing something funny, hours after unplugging my Note and it is very inconvenient at work when I need to take a photo of a business card or reciept or something.
To me this is a serious flaw on a device which is, as much as a phone, my on the go camera - and not a welcome feature of my first android phone!
I have tried a couple of methods (apps) but most of these seem to fill my notification area with adverts!

Wow. Could there be somethinks wrong with your sd card? Have you switched it from using on one device for a while to your note? I have 23gb out of 29 gb available filled with 10gb of that being music and 3gb of pics and my start up media scan takes about a minute max. Maybe not even that long. I initially had a 16gb card that i used in my LG thrill that when i switched to the not would take forever to scan. It eventually quit working so i bought the 32 and no problems now.

2-3 hours is ridiculous.
What class card are you using? You may need to upgrade to a faster card.

But i do agree maybe an upgrade of your sd cards class...
Trolling via Tapatalk 2, on my GNote...
I suggest formatting your card or replacing it. Bad sectors can cause funny stuff to happen. I couldn't even copy files using a card reader till I formatted it. Warning. This will erase all you files from the card, but you will have a clean slate to start.

Before erasing put the card in an adaptor and copy your stuff to a pc.

Well,on my NOTE, I cannot use the camera until Media Scanner Runs off round the corner - if I just unlock my phone (even when it is on) to take a photgraph, then I get this annoying message and the camera turns itself OFF repeatedly... finally the photo opportunity has gone... buggerit!

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.

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.
Hello,
a few days ago i have change my Rom to JB and since then i have a battery drain issues due to media scanner.
i have tried, re-installing my Rom a few time and read on it's forums. but nothing i have done didn't fix that problem.
my battery us ending after 6 hours of use...
in the forum of my Rom there is a replay about this issue and they give a ZIP to fix the problem, I have install the ZIP but it didn't fix the problem...
The only thing i found that helping, is to remove my 32Gb SD and change it to 2Gb SD, when i do that i don't suffer from the media scanner and my battery is lasting all most two days without a charge.
But i wish to use my 32Gb SD as i need the space and i can't put it back in due to this problem, i have tried to put it back in without my MP3 that were on it after i have format it, but that didn't help also.
Does any one have any idea how to help me fix this problem?
I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 with Omega V17 Rom.
Thank you.

Sorry i didn't mention this but i have tried those apps and on my phone it didn't work...
have any other ideas?
Delete any mp3 files that can't be played and any other corrupt files
Flashed this via Mobile Odin and no media scanner issue. Maybe it'll work for you.
I think i found a way around it...
I just replace my 32Gb SD to 16Gb SD and the phone seems to work just fine, i don't see any media scanning and now i have more SD space then 2Gb so this is better then nothing...
Thank you all for your help.

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%.

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 time goes u download and delet data and so in sd card files are getting fregmented (ie. Single folders file store in two different locations on sdcard)(same phenomenon as in pc but there u can defregment but in sd card u can't ) so while scanning it tackes too much time...
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)
