android process media works all the time and kills battery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i am using CM10(20120926), and for some time i am having a problem with this process working all the time hogging cpu.
i've tried removing it from startup, but i guess that another system service runs it.
i've also tried to update to the latest version(20121014) but it also didn't help.
i've tried the .nomedia files trick and also removing the external SDcard but it doesn't help.
please help.

[Q] non-market APK > cant click "install"

Hi all,
Just moved to the S2 from a horrible Moto Razr experience, very glad and loving the community here
I'm on stock ICS and Chainfire Root and am unable to install APK's downloaded from outside the Market:
Launching the .apk file opens the permissions dialogue, but once I'm there clicking on the "Install" button just doesn't do anything. No errors, nothing.
Been looking everywhere for an answer, tried moving the apk out of the SD to internal storage, to different folder, ticked/unticked/ticket "unknown sources", unmounted/mounted again, redownloaded the APK and nothing.
Hi.. DId you try to reboot the phone? i was facing the same issue where any app i tried to install just didnt get installed. The install button was not greyed out however it acted as though it was.
I rebooted the phone and poof! the issue was gone! havent faced it again yet...
Try it and let me know!
Cheers!

Hi buddy and thanks. Tried that many times and still no go.
Might reflash ICS/Root, but would rather avoid having to do that if a simpler solution exists

May be you need to push in system/app and not install?
having same prob here... found d solution?
I had the same problem when i rooted my phone and didnt flash any custom ROM. I just installed MIUI, and poof, issue gone. You may want to flash a different ROM, or try just factory resetting your phone ?
turn off screen filter
if you're having screen filter, turn it off and see whether this helps
happened to me too, after turning it off everything worked fine

[Q] My S2 hasnt slept in 6months !

Hey,
Ive had an S2 for a little while now. I have rooted and flashed several different roms and tried everything from changing settings to flashing stock firmware and wiping the handset to try and get rid of this problem..
Currently on:
4.1.2 JZO54K.I9100XWLSD
siyah-s2-v6.0b4+
BetterBatteryStats shows:
0% Deep Sleep
~40% suspend_backoff
~20% l2_hsic
~20% sec-battery-monitor
(and some other tiny, irrelevant wakelocks)
I have been trying to go through dmesg but I have no idea how to read it properly and I havn't been able to find much info on the subject.
I would be grateful if someone could have a quick look to see if they can identify a problem.
DMESG: attached
..from what I can tell, my cpu1 is constantly turning off and on.
Any ideas anyone? :crying:
1st way, pull out the battery and wait for 1 min, Then put it back. If it does not work, try the second method.
Wipe everything, data, cache, format system and flash a stock-like rom like Omega v23. I suggest you to backup everything on your phone and format your external and internal sd's with recovery. Your faulty musics can even cause media server to work all the time.

Have you tried changing your kernel? I'm running Rootbox and Dorimanx and dont have those issues. Have you tried that setup?

Just recently I have tried wiping everything and flashed the official stock rom for my network from samfirmware, would Omega v23 make any difference?
I removed the external sd card..
I have tried formatting internal sd card in recovery, getting mounting errors followed by "skipping format", also tried formatting in plain old settings->storage, which doesn't seem to remove any data.
* I have manually deleted everything from internal sdcard.

I have tried various roms/kernels, stock and custom, so I don't believe thats the problem.
I think your problem is about hardware, but how can you explain this to the warratry.
--Hi, my phone does not go to deep sleep.
--Sammy-- What??
I hope, if you have warranty, you will be able to explain your problem.

Haha.. They would give me sleeping pills.
I'm beginning to think this is a hardware problem, but the handset functions perfectly except the no sleep (resulting in poor battery life).
I do not have a warranty on this one so i'm hoping that if it is a hardware problem I can achieve some kind of work-around.

Have you tried a full wipe and not install anything but cpu spy to see if the device sleeps without any apps installed?

I have, but with BetterBatteryStats, not CPU Spy.
Any fresh ideas?
Does anyone notice anything in the dmesg?

Please attach the full text log of BBS, it could help .
Can't be hardware, it must be a kernel thing.
I guess you tried em all already, so, as it is weird, you can easily contact samsung and ask them if it could blow off at any time soon
With the s4 coming out they won't like S2 blowing up in people's pockets all of a sudden.

Kernel wakelock suspend_backoff: could be from apps and/or services running in the background, like FB etc. Try using TB to freeze apps (and services!) and see if things are getting better.
Kernel wakelock sec-battery-monitor: do you use a battery monitoring app? I sometimes use Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the battery. This app can run as service in the background when closed, hence I have to disable background logging before I close the app. If I miss to disable it I will have those sec-battery-monitor wakelocks too.

Annoying gallery bug?

I'm currently running hyperdrive ROM but this has been happening even on stock. Every time I download an image from Google, it never appears in the download folder in my gallery. I have to restart my phone for it to reappear. I tried clearing data and cache but still no fix. Any help?

Do you have any task killers or battery savers running? Other mods? If the Media Scanner service isn't actively running, it probably wouldn't find the new images until it scans again, which happens at boot. Where is your download folder (internal or external SD?)
Download folder is internal. This used to not happen before. It just randomly occurred
Can anyone help please??

If you wanna change your directory to an external one, go to your browser, then settings, then content settings, and then default storage.

Go to the hyperdrive tweaks, toolbox, and make sure the media scanner is enabled.

Large files copy fails with kitkat 4.4.2

Hi guys,
i've been struggling with this issue for weeks,tried everything and still didn't find a solution.
When i copy/cut large files, the tranfer speed suddently drops to 0kb/s and freezes.
It happens on operation within the phone and when tranfer file from pc too.
I've obiouvsly done dozen of total wipes.
I've tried different 4.4.2 roms.
I've tried different file mananger apps.
I've tried different kernels.
I've done a chkdsk on internal and external sd cards.
I've tried another external sd card.
So, because I was concerned about an hardware failure, I flashed the stock 4.1.2 rom.....used it for 4-5 days and the problem was gone.
Back to 4.4.2 and the issue is still here.
The strange thing is I don't have this issue with a fresh installed rom...it comes after configuring and using the phone for a while.
I've done an intensive google research,but seems no one has this problem,hope somebody can help
cheers:fingers-crossed:

as I said, is not only a problem when tranferring from pc to phone, but it happens also when copy files from phone to phone !
it happens even in recovery mode mounting usb storages!
nobody with a similar problem?
I had same problem like this. When I copied large no. of photos & videos from PC to my S2, I would get android.media FC everytime, so what I did is make a .nomedia file (using file manager) in a folder and copied there, that fixed it.

I accidentally thanked you when clicking reply button lol.
I don't have any FC.....just the transfer speed goes down to 0kb/s and never resume...
how it's possible that i'm the only one in the world with this problem??????????

Need help - Insufficient storage available - whatsapp + CyanogenMod

Hi there,
I'm running cyanogenmod 11 on my s3 and I'm having difficulty updating/installing whatsapp. I had whatsapp installed and was told I needed to update the app otherwise it'd stop working. I didn't update in time and sure enough it stopped working. I tried to update the app to continue using it but it said I had insufficient storage available. I've got plenty of storage space on both my SD (internal) and external cards and I've checked every partition and there's lots of space. The issue does not seem to relate to lack of space.
Since then I've tried everything to get it working, first uninstalling the app and reinstalling, deleting everything manually through root explorer, then wiping the cache and davik cache, odexing all my apps and then removing all the odex files through lucky patcher. Nothings worked. Unfortunately it doesn't let me use lucky patcher troubleshoot which I've heard works. Everytime I press on troubleshoot in lucky patcher it says I need to update busybox and install supersu, which I've done plenty of times to no avail.
Please can anyone help out. I'm fearing that I'm going to have to restore everything. If anyone knows how to get the troubleshoot in lucky patcher working or just fix my whatsapp issue all together that'd be great. Thanks!
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.

Not yet. I'm trying to avoid that if possible because I'm currently abroad and away from my computer. A hard reset would put me back onto stock wouldn't it? Is there any other solution out there?
