I posted this question in an existant thread on the G2 and Desire Z sub forum as others were having this issue. The solutions they came up with (prior to my question) were pretty hit and miss at solving it and were more along the lines of treating the symptom rather than the cause, so I thought maybe someone here might have a better idea.
Last night I formatted a 64GB SD card in Fat32 (so TWRP would use it) then reloaded all my music and pictures back onto it as well as moving my TiBu backups and some other stuff to free up my internal storage on my OG. After that I made a nandroid backup then rebooted and went to bed, leaving the phone on, but plugged into the wall charger. This morning I unplug it, check my email on it (shows 100% charged), lock the screen and go about my business. I check my phone about an hour and a half later and I'm down to 90% battery. I check my battery stats and Mediaserver shows to have used 65% of that discharge. I'm running TheBase ROM and KernelSk8 2.2, but I've been using that particular kernel and ROM for about a week with no issues.
My question is: did formatting my SD card to Fat32 cause Mediaserver to go haywire? Or is it something else? I should mention I did just start using PlayerPro about a day before this, so not sure if that's the culprit or my SD card. I know that's where I'll start: by freezing PlayerPro, but is anyone else having this issue after reformatting an SD card to Fat32?

1. I have the same problem
2. google claims on their trac that mediaserver is something like system mixer, not media scaner or dlna server
3. I tried this app without success.
Even with Media Server as my top battery drain (around 65%), I'm still getting excellent battery life. Last night, leaving it off the charger, I lost 9% in 10.5 hours on idle. That's better than any other phone I have, including the iPhone 5. Despite that, Media Server was still #1.
I don't think it's really draining as much as you think. In fact, I suspect it's nothing to worry about. Something will always have the top slot in battery drain. If not Media Server or Display, then Android OS.
I was thinking Media Server had to do with automatic uploads to Google Plus or Dropbox. I could be wrong, though.

I sadly haven't had the same experience.
I don't usually have mediaserver show up at all, but every now and then it goes rogue.
When it does show up in my list I notice my phone gets hot, even in idle, and battery drains like 5~10% an hour without doing anything on it.
Sometimes a reboot stops it, last time I had to do a bunch of stuff before it settled down, not sure what actually fixed it.
What I remember doing though was:
Freezing media storage.
Rebooting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik.
booting back up, unfreezing media storage and clearing data on it.
Seems to have worked for now.
In my past experiences with media server on other phones, if your sdcard develops bad spots, it will go haywire on you. It is a poorly written software (I am looking at you, Google). I am surprised that google has'nt fixed the problem yet.

That actually sounds like a rogue app or issue with your phone. Mine has been perfect since my purchase. The media server is still the #1 drain, but that's still less than 1%/hour idle.
It's definitely not an issue with all of the phones, not in my research. Hope you figure out what it is. That's annoying.

I just flashed Onyx 4.2 stock from and Odin-ed JFD and installed SuperPower and have it managing everything but flight mode (I'm skittish about having to call 911 fast, so I never use it unless the nurse or flight attendant tells me I have to).
I'm still only getting about 10% an hour out of my batteries. I hear some people are getting 25 hours on this ROM, which is less than half the battery drain I've got. I have two batteries, and they get identical results, as far as I can tell. Power Tutor generally shows:
"DRM Protected Content Provider" 40%
"Power Tutor" 38% -which when it's active, it really should be on the top of the list since it's using the display
Kernel 6.5%
System 3.6%
SuperPower 2.4%
& piddly apps using 1% or less
I lost 50% overnight last night, with SP in night mode with nothing overriding it. Not that overnight loss is a biggie, but I wasn't doing anything with my phone for 7 hours. This was worse on Fusion 1.1 ROM with both the JI2 and JI6 radios. JI6 got no signal for me, so that was a very short test. I flashed from Odin-ed stock, just to be sure I didn't have any battery-eating remnants. I hadn't put any widgets up yet. Any ideas? Yes, I'm an appaholic, but I try to watch them each closely for slowdowns and battery drain.
I've read that DRM protected content has to run, but why is it so battery hungry? Am I missing something obvious?

OK, I got it down to kswapd0. As I understand it:
Linux uses kswapd for virtual memory management such that pages that have been recently accessed are kept in memory and less active pages are paged out to disk.
(what is a page?)...Linux uses manages memory in units called pages.
So,the kswapd process regularly decreases the ages of unreferenced pages...and at the end they are paged out(moved out) to diskfrom here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/kernel/65380-what-does-kswapd0-do.html
Also showing as a CPU hog in System Processes:
New mmcqd thread is started for each slot when card is inserted and it stops when card is removed.Infer what you like.
I'm going to try OCLF as suggested, as it has been reported to help some on a new Froyo install. I think voodoo might have given me the problem somehow. Perhaps someone can help me figure out what might endure through an Odin flash of stock (T959UVJFD) that would have to do with memory referencing. I know, I know, it's supposed to do everything, but it can't if the Odin process is going to run. Odin needs something on the phone to make it work.
I also think we likely need a good sticky on the subject of battery drain with these:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit #2: I did these things and significantly improved my battery charge (20%/2 hrs to 5%/2hrs so far, no change in usage):
"bump charged" my batteries. Charge to 100% overnight, unplugged, powered off, charged to 100% again while off, powered up, unplugged, charged to 100% while on, left for school. I don't know if that's proper protocol, but that what made sense to me, so that's what I did.
Reformatted my external SD card with this: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ and reloaded it. I was having other issues that this solved, but since I did it while doing all this other stuff, I can't separate it. It may or may not have had an effect (btw, affect is a verb, or a queeny lisp) on battery drain.
Uninstalled Autolock (I forgot about it from my Titanium Backup). In my musings, I'm guessing that messing with the lockscreen means messing with what's going on while the phone is off. You wouldn't sleep well either if you knew you had to respond professionally as soon as your boss said something. Parents of babies and very young children understand this. Yeah, major drain.
Uninstalled Battery Graph. It writes data often. page file management seems to be a bit fussy in Froyo. This wasn't written for Froyo. SystemPanel was, and it basically has the same chart, it's just harder to get to, and not so big.
With AutoStarts from Market, I disabled everything that had "DRM" on it.
With Titanium Backup Pro, I Froze "Alarm & Clocks" (I use Alarm Clock Plus), "DRM Protected Content Storage 2.2," "Swype" (I really like both Smart Keyboard and Ultra Keyboard much better), and because I don't use it "VPN Services 2.2." I haven't had any problems yet. I also am using the Email app instead of the Gmail app for polling and notifications.
Checked that my Wifi sleep policy was working by checking my router to see if a connection from the phone's MAC address was active or not. It seems to me, in a fuzzy way, that Froyo as we have it now has changed some wifi stuff. I don't think my wifi was shutting off when I thought it was. I plan on checking like this once in a while.
I am also using SuperPower. I like it better than JuiceDefender. It seems like it runs cleaner, doesn't use as much power, the settings interface isn't pretty and makes more sense to me, and it, frankly, has a much nicer icon. And hey, I got it on XDA; what's not to love.
I can't say if any of these things individually helped, but I did all of this, and I've been off-charge for 2.75 hours and I'm at 91%. Yesterday I'd have been at 70%.
I'd be interested in other success stories, too, since obviously others have had issues like this. I don't want to sound snooty or snide, but I did all this by reading what was out there for me to see. Nobody helped me, except the kind folk who responded to other people's inquiries, and a few pissy cranksters who couldn't help but argue. If a flaky blonde single mom (busy) can do it, so can you.
-------------------------------------------------
Edit 3:
I unplugged at around 8:30 a.m. It's now 11:45 p.m. and I'm at about 20%
15+ hrs, 80% drain is about 4.3% per hour.
Moderate use: 5 phone calls avg 3 min each, about 25 emails that I actually read (syncing once per hour), more than a few widgets, about 6 quick Google/Wiki searches, 15 minutes of browsing, Google Voice in full force, about twenty minutes total of texting with Handcent, about 10 minutes of YouTube, a few pics, pulled up a couple of maps. I use Alarm Clock Plus, which is a pretty big resource hog, but it always works, and it has a ramp up volume option. I use Tasker, also a resource hog if you use it like I do.
No issues except a quick gapps FC when I didn't have data connect when I opened YouTube.
I really have to boost my recommendation for SuperPower. It works like a dream, just like I want it to, and I get very little lag in connection type changeover.
I'm about to abuse my phone - I just don't need another four or five hours out of my charge.
I've been using GSB for a few months now, and I haven't had any issues until recently after I installed 3.1. I did the normal drill with the rom install, dalvik wipe etc. I even cleaned out and reformatted my sd card as I like to so every few releases.
Now to the problem. My battery has been draining at an unprecedented rate recently, and frankly I don't know what else to do. I watch alot of tv shows and movies on my phone, and so I try to keep it charged as I am running these vids. Well for some reason, I will unplug the charger and even if my battery says its at 80% or so, my phone will randomly drain out and site within minutes for no apparent reason. I won't even get a low battery warning. This only happens at work, if I have my wall charger plugged in it runs fine, and my phone usually holds a charger for a good amount of time. I tried the battery data technique to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I would appreciate it very much

id download and install gsb 3.2 and do a battery recalibration and then see what happens
search battery recalibration in the market theres a great app for it
just open app wait till it beebs when at 100% and click calibrate then after like two cycles you should relly see a huge difference
if youve done that already well then idk but def. try the new update too
I have been noticing more battery usage no matter which ROM I am using. I feel as if the service has been a little whack lately. anyone else not getting good signal where they usually have before?
Razr MAXX running ICS leak
I decided to let my battery run down to zero last night and let it charge while I sleep. I got to work this morning and just notice my battery is at 50%! The only change I really made yesterday was re-enabling smart actions, and setting a wifi connected trigger to turn data off. I'm thinking this may be the cause of the drain. Here are some screens.

There is an app that is not letting your wifi sleep.
Something is keeping your wifi on all the time and eating up your battery. Check out this app in the market and report back with the results, it's called "My Data Manager" and it will tell you which app or process is eating up all your wifi. Let me know what it says.

I've found on the stock rom, the Verizon wifi control app works well for turning wifi on and off by cellular location, ive heard tasker does this well also. Ive had no luck with smart actions. You also might want to go to settings, wireless, wifi settings, hit menu, then advanced settings, then change the sleep policy, if you have root you could also change the scan interval by editing the build.prop or using rom tool box. But do kill the wake lock, it not only keeps the wifi from sleeping, it also keeps your phone from going into its low power state

I am having a similar problem with my Razr (not MAXX). Just today i noticed the phone getting hot in my pocket. I then saw the battery was almost dead after only 4 hours unplugged and very little use. I recently rooted and flashed the clutch extreme version. I dont use wifi. I have autokilled everything useless, ive checked the running apps and nothing wierd seems to be running, in the battery usuage, after 4 hours unplugged "google services" and "android os" both had 33% of the battery use. But like i said i cant see what is draning it...any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Even im having some issue there's a process called Media which always is 92% and eats lot of battery.....so is there any way to kill this process?
If your phone is rooted my advice is to use ti backup and freeze the bloat ware the list of pre installed apps safe to freeze/uninstall can be found in the forum, when your phone reports "android os" "system" "media" its a general term that covers built in apps. The major culprit ive found is Verizon's back up apps, media is probably motocast, try mulling around in the settings and set the sync settings to as minimal as possible, also if you guys don't mind, I'm curious about this, when i first had batt life problems i ran voodoo ota and disabled root and forgot to re-enable root, with bloat and all i seemed to have better bat life, anyone want to test and see if its the same for them? Wondering if Verizon is being sneaky, and pulling carrier iq -esqe info from rooted stock

Never let your battery go down to zero. That is very bad for lithium batteries.
ok guys i found solution to media process.....Android media was trying to update it's music player and galery and since there were some media files which were too big in size and seems other files were corrupt so Media was trying to read them and thus eating up lot of clock cycles and thus draining battery. So once you identify which media file is causing the problem then media process get's minimal. About android OS process there's nothing we can do except to freeze some bloat.
Another way to disable media, though you have to do it every time you reboot, is to kill the process in running process in settings then applications. Mine does the same thing.

I was under the impression that the android os has a safety built in that keeps you from actually reaching 0, and the process of draining your phone until it shuts off, wiping battery stats in recovery, and charging too full while shut down was more to retrain the os to see 100% at a closer point to full and 0% at a lower safe point of shutdown... i know flashing roms not at 100% battery can muck up the scale, a good indicator is that your phone shuts off from low battery, you reboot and it reports a something like 20-30% battery

I would assume this is true for all android devices but at least for Razr I can assure you that it will turn off the phone before the battery gets below the critical voltage. That said it is almost always better to recharge well before it gets that low and as much as it is possible charge to full. I almost always charge over night.
Can anyone help me with this problem here?
I have been trying various roms on my Vibrant, but didn't spend a ton of time on the ones before Paranoid Android because they seemed unstable. So I can't fully tell you if I was having this issue before, but I will say that the battery drain didn't seem as extreme.
I noticed that I was having extreme battery drain the night after I flashed PA (it was plugged in overnight). I was trying to charge it before I went out, and here's something weird - I was talking on the phone plugged into *AC* power (NOT usb!) and the battery drained during the call! That kind of threw me because it's never something that's happened on AC for me. By the time I went outside, it was down to almost nothing, drained about 5% in 3 minutes walking to the bus stop and died. I recharged it again, swapped in my extra battery in case it was a battery problem, and noticed that also it took a couple of hours of basically not using the phone to drain to 0. I have no signal issues in my area.
I noticed that in BBS that a wakelock ste-gps-interface was taking up a TON of time. I am not using GPS that much. I figured it may be Google now, so I actually froze the app. That didn't seem to help, so I turned of Google location services as much as I could to still use maps - basically everything short of turning GPS off itself. I still got the wakelock! This shows up in the battery settings as making "Android OS" jump to 50% when this is happening.
So since whatever is triggering this wakelock causes the phone to not go into deep sleep and idle at 100mhz, I'm getting bad battery drain. I tried several things such as updating the Semaphore kernel, reflashing the GPS data, using an AGPS app to reset the cache, and tweaking the CPU governor/IO settings. For some reason I seemed to get some relief after reflashing the GPS data once and then clearing cache/dalvik cache, but the issue has come back again.
I couldn't find any informative posts on it, but interesting the posts that I did find were Vibrant specific. If anyone has any ideas past turning GPS off completely please let me know. One thing I have not tried is kernels other than Semaphore, but I've heard that Semaphore is a good match with PA. Thanks!
Edit: I may be wrong because this seems odd, but even turning the GPS off in location preferences doesn't seem to be stopping the wakelock!
Have you calibrated your battery? You should always calibrate after flashing a new rom. I'm not sure about the wake locks you speak of since I have never flashed a PA rom. Someone else may have some insight on that, in the meantime definitely calibrate your battery. I recommend this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration. You must be rooted, I'm assuming you are...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks, but since this is a wakelock issue with CPU processes running amok I'm afraid battery calibration won't help but to get a few more seconds out of it before it dies in an hour :/
I do think I have found the issue for now, but it's confusing that it's related, so if anyone could shed some light on it, that'd be great. If not, hopefully others who search for it will be able to look for similar issues on their phone.
In the past on other phones, I used the CPU Editor mod that you can find on XDA. I was partial to it because I got good results with the battery saver profile, and unlike other apps on the market that kept a running process, this one was all on the command line. For some reason when I set the profile through the command line and exit the app, as long as it's enabled, the ste-gps-interface wakelock flares up and drains the battery in a matter of hours since the device cannot idle. It was a tough connection to make because I had even disabled GPS entirely and was still getting the wakelock, so I'm still not sure what the connection could be. I did notice that putting CPU Editor into sticky mode caused the device to bootloop, so I wouldn't suggest this script for PA in my experience.
I have since switched back to just using Semaphore Manager to handle CPU and governor settings to keep stuff simple, which I probably should have done in the first place Sort of ironic that trying to squeeze some more battery out of that device caused the wakelock bug. I'd ask the author of the script about it, but it seems to be kind of dead - yet another reason to move on. Smartassv2 is good enough for my purposes!
I'm now having problems with this as well. Rebooting doesn't help and neither does a data wipe. I've been on CM 10.1 nightlies for the last couple weeks and this started on Saturday. Won't allow phone to go into deep sleep. I tried the Greenify method but it doesn't seem to be working from another post... Anyone have any more info?
Welp, I think its a hardware problem unfortunately... The phone went into Safe Mode last weekend when it got damp from rain. Probably due to that.
I've tried everything... I've reverted to stock and wiped everything via odin and it still wont sleep. Time for a new phone! Been a good (almost) 3 years.

Kind of digging up an old thread but since there was no solution posted, I thought I'd post this for anyone else having this issue and happen to stumble upon this thread.
I had the same issue with SlimBeans where ste-gps-interface was keeping my device awake. I just flashed the gps fix below and initial results show that my phone is going into deep sleep, hopefully this remains to be the case.

Anyone else having issues with battery life? I can go from 54% to 14% overnight, totally stock install with no added apps.
My HDX 8.9 only loses about 2% over night. Get a task killer and see what you can kill.
Fully recharged it, watched a movie for a few mins, then let it sit for four hours or so. It managed to go from 84% to 72%. For some reason while it does stay connected to my wifi, it keeps losing internet connectivity.
I got a taskkiller app and killed a few processes, I don't believe it should be necessary though. I wonder if I got a dud since no one else seems to be reporting the same issue.

Totally stock install, to my knowledge I can't uninstall any of the preinstalled stuff. The battery issues persist though reboot so if it's a stock app with some issue there's not much I can do about it at this time.
On a possibly related note I've been having issues with internet connectivity, after my fire is inactive for some period of time it loses connection to the internet but stays connected to wifi. I have to toggle the wifi to get the data working again.
I finally decided to just get them to ship me a replacement, should hopefully solve all of my issues without me having to spend days trying to diagnose any problems with my limited access.

I have discovered that the location services can cause this exact issue due to constant polling. This issue is worsened with the additional use of the Google Android location services. Make sure you do not have the Location setting turned on in the "Wireless" tab of settings.
This issue only occurs intermittently, but when it does, it continues until location services are disabled & the device is restarted.

It wasn't enabled, I got my new kindle today though and just unboxed it. Hopefully it's resolved now.
Edit: Nope, same issue. When I got it, I turned it on, went though the tutorial, made sure location wasn't on, then turned off the screen and sat it on my desk. Six hours later I'm down 16%. Guess it's not as bad as before, but it's still not great. I wish amazon had better battery stats.

Nope nothing, I can't think of any reason why two separate devices would act this way when no one else is having the same issue.
From when I edited my previous post to now, it's gone down 33%. (Which is a little over 2% per hour)
Edit: I installed better battery stats from an APK (didn't realize it would let me do this), so hopefully now I can see what's eating up the battery.
Edit 2: Something called msm_hsic_host is what's draining my battery. Apparently that has something to do with a cellular modem, which I find odd since my device is wifi only.
Edit 3: Installed DS Battery Saver, set it to slumber (If screen's off, data's off), problem solved.
