Stock video player crashing problem , Draining Battery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
So far i am happy with Galaxy s3, it has tremendous battery life as compared to one x ( already used it). But for the last two days, i am facing a problem of stock video player crashing showing windows mainly when messaging application is open. showing would you like to wait or close video player. But today i got out of hand, i charged the phone to 100%, closing all app, disconnected the charger and went to sleep, in the morning i woke up and picked up the phone it was warm and when i turned the screen on , it showed only 1% battery left and the same video player crashing window. For reference, i have attached screenshot of phone usage .I personally have not opened video player app in this time frame .
Need an expert advice on this . Thanks

Media Players Force Close Issue

Hey guys, I tried searching for this particular issue but came up empty.
I have an Atrix 4.5.91 and had this issue creep up suddenly. I first noticed it when I tried to play a video file using Meridian. It would start up Meridian, but then keep it on a blank screen. After about 10 seconds the force close notification comes on.
Then I tried to play music using Winamp... It starts up the application, but would stay stuck on the first page with the Winamp logo. FC notification comes up soon after.
Then I tried it with the stock music player. It starts up and all I get is the blue background associated with the new mp. FC notification comes up around the same time as well.
I also noticed that the Camera application would force close after taking a picture. Perhaps due to the opening of the gallery app?
Any idea what's going on with it? I'm offshore right now for work and I use my phone as my music player... it's my only way to not get bored to death for 3 weeks.
P.s. My battery life has also been drastically reduced since this started happening.

[Q] Very high battery usage of all music players under CM7

Hello
I have searched a log but i didn't found a solution.
If i use my SGS2 with CM7 (tried last stable and nightly) i have the following issue:
Normally my phone takes around 1% battery/hour. (if i dont use it, like over the night)
If i start a music player, not important if native music app or winamp, the battery usage goes up to ~5% even if the player don't play music.
So if i like to listen to an audio book and fall asleep, the battery run out of power over the night. (depends on how long i sleep )
Could it depends on the SD Card?
Did you wipe data before installing??
Sent from my GT-I9100 powered by CheckRomâ„¢
yes i did.
But i have not done the CM7 SD Fix.
I will try it at the WE.
Maybe i will also try a new Wipe.
this is happening across multiple devices for me - my galaxy tab 10.1, my gt 8.9, droid charge, epic touch 4g... something in just about every music player won't let my devices sleep and drains the battery fast as heck.

[q] video player using 96.7% of cpu!!!

So today i woke up at 6:40am just to find out my S3 was on fire!! Not quite literally but it was the hottest it has ever been!! So after my mini heart attack I take the battery off let it cool down, let it power itself on, just to find out on whatchdog that there was an alert at midnight (while it was suppost to be idle) of the video player using 96.7% of the cpu. I'm really worried about this! All my video files are .mp4 and .wmv. Could the reason for this be a corrupt file? And I'm saying that because yesterday I had multimedia on my battery app first and did a lot of research for it to find out there could be corrupt files on my phone but come on I have thousands of thing and not planing to take them out and in again. But I also noticed whatchdog gave me alerts with multimedia manager and video player so I suppose it has something to do with it. Does someone actually know about this or has any idea?
By the way the multimedia drain stopped after I stopped the media manager from starting at boot with an app from the play store.

My S4 screen stucks after playing a video

Hello guys,
i have bought few months ago a s4 phone i9515 and manually upgraded it from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1. And after two months i started having a problem.
Whenever i try to watch any video doesnt matter where(for example youtube facebook or any other app) my screen freezes after 20-30sec,but the audio continues. If i leave it after 20-30 seconds my screen continues the video,but doesnt sync the picture and the sound and its kinda impossible to enjoy anything like this. I tried by uninstalling youtube and again installing it and the problem is still there.
i hope someone has a good solution for me.
Sry if this is the wrong place for this thread.
thx in andvance. Cheers

Screen mirroring bugs

2 days ago, or so, my screen mirroring was working well (yeah, it lags a lot, but we're talking about a Xperia M4). Today I had to study, the presentations that I needed to read were on the device, so I decided to use the screen mirroring and put some music to study...here starts the problem. When I opened the music app, it worked well for less than 2 seconds...then the phone got....damaged? I dunno. The thing is, if I open the music app, I get stuck on the screen mirroring (Yes, nor the screen mirroring, nor the phone can be turned off, just using the little button on the SD card slot). Also this will bug the phone completely, making it act like it had around 10mb free ram (And it has 40% free ram, so, it's just the phone acting weird). CPU usage is also normal, half of the cores arround 300-900mhz, half arround 1000mhz. Help me please, what can be doing this? I thought it was an app that changes navbar color, but I uninstalled it and the problem remains. Also the music app is factory restored. Oh, and in case you're wondering, the phone is NOT rooted.
Also, if you could help me remove the album app, it'd be great (I want to replace it with the Jellybean model, since I use MX player, also, Jellybean's version is way more beautiful and clean).
Nevermind.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, while I was writing this message and searching for solutions on the web, I left the phone, mirroring its screen and DOING NOTHING, and PHONE DISCONNECTED showed on the TV. Then I discovered that it was due to a senseless reboot on the phone... And it fixed it! Actually, screen mirroring works better than never.
