Hello,
The following happened to me:
I changed my rom to 4.1.2 jb from 4.1.1 and on the new rom I had crazy battery drain and the phone went hot so I thought about the media wakelock. Now I changed back to the old Rom (cwm image) but since I restored my image the battery also seems to drain faster. Bbs shows me 8m42s MediaScannerService wakelock. I've put the other information in the attachments. Can anyone tell me if these stats look normal? 5.8%/h seems like a big drain for me with or am I just freaking out? I'm almost sure that I had much better battery life before...
Can someone tell me how to get rid of the problem? Should I reinstall the rom? I'm using wanamlite 4.2.1 right now.
Cheers matt

Hey, I've been getting the same issue. I Reading up it seems we've got a choice of two options to fix -
1) Download something to stop the media scanning of SD card - the 'rescan media' app is one option I've seen but as this stops media scanning all together you need to re enable when adding new media so not a long term solution if you like your tunes
2) remove SD card, back up everything, reformat it, stick media back, add SD Card back into phone, and no more scanning issues. Pain in backside but should fix the issue.
Obviously someone will correct me if I've got it wrong...
I'm talking about the internal sd card. I guess I have to back up the stuff and format it too, right?

Please use rescan media app from play store it works really well phone has been on for over 10 hours and media scan service has only been on 23 seconds
im what Willis was talking about
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Ok, rescan media app was clear as mud to use and didn't appear to keep settings after reboot so spent a couple of hours backing up, reformatting & reloading SD card yesterday and it's made a massive improvement with media scanner service wakelocks dropping to seconds rather than closer to hours.

So u think reformatting the internal sd card helps? I don't want to use an other media scanner app
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I figured why the media scanner was freaking out: it was the new titanium Backup format with blobs. In the blobs folder were about 3700 files and that was probably the issue.
I changed the backup format in cwm to tar but I also read that adding a ".nomedia" file to the titanium Backup or blobs folder might work in case you are doing and having many backups.
Now Bbs says 1 min media scan at boot and that's it

Hi, I was having issues w my sg2 randomly rebooting so backed up my apps the wiped it and haven't had issues since but of course that leaves me app-less. Is there a way/app that I can log and see which app is rebooting my sg2?

Easiest and best way would be to wipe everything and re-install your apps (I mean re-download and install, NOT restoring a backup since that's likely to cause FCs and reboots)
Recently I have had the same issue my phone randomly rebooting. Have noticed it only happens when I come back from work. Never happened while I was out, the only thing I can think of is reconnecting to my home wifi.
Will need to do more test to see if that is the case thou.

An app shouldn't be able to make your phone reboot (at least, a non-root app). The most common cause of random reboots is bad OC/UV settings. If you're running at stock clocks and voltages, on stock ROM/kernel, then you almost certainly have a hardware problem and should try to get a warranty repair if you can.
Dolphin HD has always been the cause in my experience.

There may be a crafty sneeky covert app causing the problem!! did you have any ninja games installed?
Well, my phone is rooted so that is a possibility (that maybe its s root app). I will focus on those

I have an external SD and have many apps on it. I was sure that all apps could move to SD. But had a random reboot.
Took out the SD card and the reboots disappear and as as soon as I put back the memory, it reoccurs again.
First I though it was the chip pushing against the battery and causing to reboot.
But after moving the apps back from SD to Phone (and many uninstalled) and reformat it, the reboots are gone.

Possibly Dolphin Hd, if you installed it.

Whenever my phone reboots or switch on, it only checks for sd card error and no media scanner running. And when i open gallery, it fc with mediascamner running. Whats the problem? With neatrom lpg and lpx. Tried to clear mediastorage and the gallery showa nothing.

It is an sd card error
Back up al important files on external sd on other device and format your sd from setting... Everthing should be fixed... If not try remove external sd and reboot but first suggestion should work

Download "Rescan Media Root" from market.
Run the app for few minutes to trigger the scanner process.

1. Remove your external SD.
2. Run the app again.
- disable media scanner, exit the app
- Run the again, and enable media scanner.
3. If it's showing properly now, then re-insert your SD card, then retest again.
Ps:
Backup the contents of your SD card on your Pc, just in case.

Wait let me get this straight.
1) i reboot phone without doing anything and first it shows preparing usb at notification area.
2) Then it shows checking sd cards error.
3) By right it should show media scanner running too but it didnt and when i press gallery straight away it fc with media scanner running and my video wont show my video in sd card.
It is suppose to run media scanning in background without notifying in ics rom? Because i remember it should show in notification area after checking sd card error and after i leave it for a few minutes( yes really a few minutes and not seconds) all my media in sd card showes up and no more fc with media scanner in gallery. Is this how it suppose to work?

My worst is network location locator that drains my battery, only just installed bbs yesterday so not sure what all the wakelocks mean or alarms or anything else.
I know media is your downloads and you probably have your apps on auto update.
Doesn't have many instructions.
You must have a very low screen setting for 20% mine is at least at 70 and that's when I have it on auto brightness

You have the media scanner bug. There is no real cure but formatting the external sd card can help.
The simplest solution is just to force close it. It should not return until you reboot .
It's a Samsung issue so until they fix it we just have to live with it

Sorry was late here when I posted, I should have explained.
Run the app from the app drawer, hit the disable Media Scanner button. This will kill the media scanner everytime you reboot (if you are roorted, assume you are). To rescan for media just open the app and then close it.
Check after a reboot to make sure Media is not chewing up the battery. It works for me under JB and also did under GB.
If you use Tasker you should be able to achieve the same thing. So you could just kill that process with Tasker and either run it and kill it at certain times or the author of the above also has an app just called Rescan Media which you could just run via tasker at a given time interval. Personally never found the need but I guess it depends on how much media you actiually hold on your device etc...

Does anyone else occasionally experience an app mysteriously vanishing after restarting your phone? It's not as frequent anymore but it will happen to me with certain apps.
I'm wondering if this is because somehow they aren't compatible with my 64GB microSD- IF that's the default save location or if anyone else is experiencing this.
Thanks!

First of all, apps can't be saved on the microSD card on this phone. Check my FAQs on that.
Secondly, I've heard of disabled apps re-installing themselves on our phone on reboot, but not the other way around. Can you tell us which apps are doing that?
Airdroid, Fatbooth, FartDroid, etc... you know.... important apps... lol. This is my second phone to do it. The XDA app used to do it too. Some others as well. Their icons still show in folders but when you click it says the app is not installed.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
I've experienced the same problem. They will randomly come back to life, but it seems if apps are stored on what the phone thinks is the SD card rather than the internal storage, it has a greater tenancy to vanish.
I've had this happen a few times. I have not noticed whether they are apps I have moved to the phone storage area or not.
When I move them, they seem to be ok. That is until an update for that app, if I restart before moving it back it'll delete.

Last night I moved my apps from internal to phone storage to make more space. After a while, my phone died. When I turned it back on, guess what? 90% of the apps vanished from my phone. Here I am redownloading everything... is this normal or does my phone have problems?

Might be something with your handset I have 1.6GB on phone storage and haven't had any apps self delete. I have run out of space on the internal storage, 1GB there isn't much. My plan is to s-off over Christmas when work shuts down and see if any progress has been made being able to move apps to the external SD. There was some talk about it a while ago.
Thanks for the response! Perhaps I have an issue with my phone. If I move apps to phone storage they will be completely deleted upon reset.
When I click apps on phone storage it shows the apps that are really in internal storage but when you click the apps they say "move to phone storage". Very strange.
I'll do a factory reset and see if it helps the issue.
How many apps do you have on phone storage?

I have this kernel wakelock "boot_hsic" that is keeping my phone awake pretty much 100% of the time and there is absolutely no deep sleep. As a result I'm losing about 7.6% per hour while not using the phone making it impossible to use as my phone since I either have to keep it plugged in or turned off completely.
Here are the things did to try to get rid of it without any results:
-full wipe -> flash new rom (tasks aokp 1.22, jellybam 6.4/6.5) -> install only better battery stats
-flash different kernel (AJK, STI 2.31) -> still only app installed was better batter stats
-flashed back to stock using odin -> installed only better battery stats
With any of the rom's or kernels installed I turned off wifi, sync, data, gps, nfc to make sure that nothing is running.
If anyone has any idea of what I can do to fix this I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks in advance
