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
Here's the story: running the stock ROM rooted. Batt has been fine until I loaded up my 32gb card with some movies AND decided to move my files in my DCIM folder to my internal DCIM folder to clear some room. The movies are on the external card. I did that and cleared the external DCIM of pics and now I'm getting a hard battery drain. Batt meter shows 'media share' as top dog now and it's draining the thing fast! From full charge to dead in less than 3-4 hours!! So I put the files back that I moved and it's STILL doing it! I mean this sucks!!!! So now I've deleted BOTH DCIM folders hoping the thing will reinstall them and clear them hoping this might fix this %^@&*^%%$ issue. I'm so pissed. This is my second battery issue with a *&@(&% RAZR. Had to replace my first one because the batt would instantly die,bam dead. Full charge to nothing and I didn't even have it set up the way I wanted it yet! This is my second RAZR and now IT'S fking up!! I so want to just call them and tell them shove their "thin" POS where the sun don't shine, I want a different phone!!! What do I do???? Why the hell is it acting like this? Don't like me removing pics from it's stupid DCIM folder? WTH?
PS, also forgot to mention now when I go into My Gallery, it sits there and then force closes on me. I've reset it, I even went and updated to the new unofficial release and it's still fking up!
Do I have to do a entire reset of my phone now because I moved some pics off the frickin phone?? WTH is with that???
I've have this same issue in the past. For some reason the Razr has an issue syncing the media from your SD card. The easiest solution? Take all the media off your SD card. The best solution? Flash a custom rom as I've never run into this issue again running a custom rom.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
I may...may have figured this out. Went to the battery section and checked the memory useage stat to see which files were listed under 'media share'. Then I went to applications and cleared the data of every one of them I could, including My Gallery. I also cleared Dalvik cache in Tibu. Then I went back to gallery and re-set it up, letting Motocast sync ALL of the files I listed off my home PC, which were quite a few pics, vids etc. Let that run till it's done. It seems to have worked. The phone isn't as warm as it was, and the media share is dropping percentage wise from the batt stats and looking at the meter, it's stablized quite a bit now. So I think I may have it licked.....you gotta be Sherlock Holmes sometimes when dealing with technology.
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.

You flashed which ROM in your phone?? XXLSJ or XWLS8 ?? Is it a custom ROM/leaked??
Official update in india should come in within a few weeks(coz S3 JB already came)...go back to stock ICS and you can wait for it..
For now try Wiping your Battery Stats and see if it gets fixed..
Press Thanx if i helped..
thanks 4 help
[my dear friend it is xwls8.only problem is when screen on also 4n is heat like hell.what can i do?is it softwear problem.what is it may be cpu overheating?what is cpu optimum level?...thanks 4 ur help bro :good: hope further assistance.
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)
Copy sdcard to pc and format and copy back to sdcard it may help in scanning time this happens to me and solved by above method it may help to u and if ur rooted use greenify(non root works but not works great) or deep sleep battery saver it may help to u

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.

Let me explain u why i tell u copy ur whole sd card to computer and format ur 16 gb sd card and recopy from pc to sd card back....
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)
