Hi,
I've got a weird problem with my Galaxy S3.
Recently I was running an old version of Android Revolution HD. Everything worked fine for months when suddenly my battery drained 30% in 2 hours and the phone got pretty hot.
I checked the CPU usage and noticed a process called 'sdcard' running all the time with a very high CPU usage, even though i have no external SD card installed (I guess it was accessing the internal memory).
I decided to wipe everything and install the new version of ARHD (I wanted to do it anyway very soon). At the moment I'm running Android Revolution HD 17.0.
Everything worked fine now for months, although sometimes I got the same 'sdcard' problem I was facing on the old version. After a reboot it was gone, however.
Today I wanted to uninstall an app on my S3, so I went into the settings, selected the app and chose to uninstall it. The uninstall process will start, but it does never finish. I had to kill the process. After this my phone is very slow and again - the sdcard process is having a high CPU usage that is fixed after a restart of the phone. That is a problem however, cause I can't uninstall apps anymore (reproducible).
Now I'm wondering what could cause this behaviour and how to fix it. Searching for "sdcard process android" or "sdcard battery drain" on Google doesn't give that much information so I'm wondering whether I'm the only one facing this kind of problem??
This is related to my problem, very similiar:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...essed-draining-battery-consuming-lot-cpu.html
However, no real solution...
Here another one but with Galaxy Nexus (no solution either):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722857
I'm getting a bit worried at the moment that this is some sign of an approching "Sudden death" as I read that it is caused by faulty internal storage. My S3 is the blue one with 16GB internal storage.
Is somebody else affected by this, maybe even knows a solution?
Thank you for your help!
Wrong Forum .
Difficult to find the question from your rambling post .
Backup data and factory reset .

His problem is that he can't uninstall apps and the process called "sdcard" has high usage.
I also am unable to uninstall any apps on my SGS3. Same as op, it says uninstalling with the blue bar moving, but it never completes, never uninstalls.

Yes, that's true. That's the problem I'm facing. Wiping and installing a new rom fixes the problem for a few weeks and then it starts again.
Haven't installed one of the SD-safe kernels yet, but will do it tomorrow.

All of a sudden I now also have a hot battery (90F +) and over 20% battery usage by process "sdcard" . Also my messaging app will crash and then display no messages, on reboot it gets hot again. I will try removing sd and see what happens bit it only has photos on it

Removed sd card, it was really warm to the touch. So far now it hasn't had high battery usage. The only thing on the sd card was pictures so I don't know why it was doing this.
Now apps uninstall no problem. Anyone have an idea why this happened?

I just recently started having the exact same issues with my GS3. I haven't found any good suggestions for a fix other than a wipe/restore. Does any one have a suggestion?

Have seen this on my previous Xperia S a reboot solved the issue and everything is back looks like a bug
Its to do with the internal mem, if you install to the phone mem the apps wont vanish , if you install the the " SD " some apps vanish . When you restart the system the internal mem fires up last on boot up , hence the phone seams to already allocate its mem to phone.
I hope this is fixed asap , as it bugging me !!
As to what apps get deleted, it seams random . I have 87 apps now on my phone , and don't want to start putting them all in the phone mem!

I have this problem as well i thought it wasn't just me. Sometimes my xperia s crashes randomly when im in an app(wtf) then when i reset the phone an app might be gone. It seems everytime you restart the phone you might lose an app. So try and dont restart till they come out with a fix...
Never had this issue,Maybe a factory reset ot format the sd can solve this problem.
I have this issue constantly with eBay, PayPal, Quickoffice and insider. I now leave these apps on the phone memory. Bloody pain in the arse.

That would explain why I've not seen it then.. Having such a big memory I haven't bothered moving anything off to 'sd' yet.

Never seen this type of behaviour on my XS, however what I did have on my older Android phones was that after a reboot you can see the app icon, but on clicking it it says "App isn't installed". This is purely for "SD" apps and after a few seconds (depending on the speed of your phone) you should be able to open them, but never had them completely disappearing.

Anyone having issues with this app? It used to work well with GB and after ICS it still would work but the "deepsleep" would never reset after plugging in. Didn't bug me much but just after the latest update few days ago it no longer works at all. Just says" No reference set yet" Is it just mine or anyone else having similar issues? did a reinstall and same problem also did a clear data and still broke.

Help me to find out the Apps Causing Drain!!
Hi all,
I have some abnormal battery drain in my mobile, so i tried to find the root cause for this. I just ended up in BBS, where i could see some kernel wakelocks, Alarm wakelock causing drain.
Attached is the dumpfile (Generated from BBS) along with Another Dump Alarm file (dumpsys alarm > AlarmManager.txt)
I Have analysed (with Google, yes!!) upto my knowledge and Unistalled some apps and Disabled Location Services and Backup (under Settings-Privacy). Apart from that i am clueless! Just posting these results for you guys have a look at it.
Kindly Help me to figure it out Guys!!

I don't think that is horrible. You were running 6 hrs with screen on of 1hr 8min. and you dropped to 48%...Your awake time was 1hr59...the backup service is still a main culprit...not sure if that is the thing backing up your data to your provider or not. TIP: You log shows you are running an incredible S ...so post there. Also, go to the BBS thread I posted above (if you haven't already)...the people looking at that on a regular basis can provide more assistance! :good:

Hi there. I have a couple of questions to ask about my GalaxyS3. GT-19300. Android version 4.1.1. Baseband version 19300BUDL12. Kernel version 3.0.31-256827.
Firstly after what seems like days & days of 'research' I finally plucked up the courage to root my phone, hoping to rid myself of all the bloatware. For a complete newbie like me it was quite daunting really but once I did it, it seemed fairly easy enough? I have installed Nobloat but have not yet used it as I have a few issues that I need resolving?
Anyway since rooting I have downloaded TitaniumBackup & hopefully backed up my files? It took me hours & hours to find out how/where to save it to my external sd card? I am still unsure if I've managed to back up absolutely everything ie; texts & so on? Here is my first question, I have tried to sync my backup to my dropbox but while its 'uploading' it suddenly stops & says stopped because of 'internal error'? What does this mean & why is it happening & what can I do about it?
My next question is since I've rooted my phone, it as gone very very slow, in everything it does, even in my messages it shows the number for 5seconds or so before it actually changes to the contacts name? Is there a reason why my phone is so slow?
My next question is, I think, maybe related. I have ZDbox installed & now when I go to clear/use task killer, my phone reboots? Is there e reason for this & have I done something wrong or am I missing something silly?
I know there are quite a few question here & I have looked & used the search button but I obviously can't see for looking & I have spent a large chunk of time researching/looking for answers?
Anyhow thank you for reading my many questions & hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? It is quite daunting messing with your expensive phone knowing thjat you could potentially 'brick' it!! :fingers-crossed:
Regards Jay
Can't answer all your questions but tb doesn't back up your texts. There are other apps that back up texts without needing root. It only backs up apps and app data. With regards to your dropbox sync, you might have put in the wrong login details? I used it for a while and it was fine.
As for the phone slowing down, try backing everything and do a complete wipe.

Thanks for the quick response:good:. I shall look into the apps that can backup/save texts. I never thought to look there to be honest!!
With regard to my Dropbox, I definitely have the correct log in details, like I say, it gets to about 30% uploaded then comes up with 'internal error'!?
Also would that be a factory reset when you mention complete wipe? Would I then need to download Titanium again to restore my phone to near enough what it is now?
Jay
Back up everything you can, put it safe somewhere else (external sd or pc). Go into recovery and do a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik cache) and reboot. You'll have to set everything up again (login details and etc), but seems like it's the only option afaik.

Sorry to bump this!! I think I know why my phone is so slow, looking through other threads it must be my JB update? (I hope?) So hopefully this will be sorted as soon as my other problem is resolved..... My missing photo? as per my other thread!!

I have only just plucked up the courage to root my phone!!!!! never mind 'flash a new rom' !!!!!!
I'm starting to go crazy with looking at all the various information for hours on end & seemingly getting nowhere & no closer to flashing a new rom?
Now then, funny thing is, my phone has mysteriously gone back to being fairly fast again?? Again I don't know what's happened to revert it back? So at least that's one of my problems sorted :good:
Oh & my other thread about my missing photo as been resolved, I had backed my phone up quite a while back & found it in some old files on an external hard drive, yipeee!!

It's an EVO 4G LTE, got it when it first came out, stock. No root or anything, never even tried with this phone. Recently it's been refusing to make phone calls. I click someones name to call, the phone freezes for a few seconds or nothing happens. I get the com.android.phone has crashed messaged a lot. Also happens to my messaging app, GO SMS Pro, which crashes pretty frequently as well. What do I do?

Sounds like a lack of free memory to me... Do you have a lot of apps installed? I've never had any use for Go apps because they use a ton of memory and cause lag.
Your best bet is to open the task manager app to see what apps are using the most memory and then uninstall them.
The other alternatives are to do a factory reset to wipe your phone, or better yet, root and install a custom Rom with better memory use (meanrom is my suggestion but there are plenty of options)

If that was the case, wouldn't I not experience these problems after immediately force closing everything? Because the problem persists and is pretty random of when it shows up and doesn't.
When u install apps u give them certain permissions....so when u stop the app it could start back up

You said your phone has been refusing to make phone calls.
Perhaps if you treated your phone better it might do what you ask of it.
If it refuses any more, hard reset it and show it whos boss.
If it clears up then you know right there you had a bad app or a memory issue..
Hi...
It's been a week, I experience severe battery drain...
At the night I have 100 % battery, then in the morning it's dead because no power left... I have to recharge it again.. I didn't use it... I just left it with wifi active...
When I check the usage... It show that 80 % consumed by "Media"..
What the hell is this application /services?
Other time, I tried to turn off that services.. But it turn on again automatically...
I did try factory reset, but I still have this issue...
And, a quarter part of the screen (top) is very hot while other part isn't...
Does anyone know what is going on with my XZU?
Thanks in advance...

Would be great to have a screenshot. Also can you check you wifi data details? Media app is use for media storage, DRM content, downloads and download manager. So to make it simple, it downloaded from night to morning and drained your battery. Do you see apps from the market you didn't download manually installed on your phone? Like a game with over 1gb of data or anything else (if you choices option to auto backup it restore all the apps you use from the market on your previous devices). Or did you put any file to download on any browser reboot our phone before the download is finish (Dolphin browser keep the link in memory and resume or restart download at boot).
First of all I would advise you to put your phone on stamina mod, and set it up if you use some apps like Viber, whatsapp, Facebook and etc... It really improve battery drain while you are not using your phone.

Wifi data details? I m not sure what you mean.. but I m curious that my XZU downloaded any data related to Media...
The last time I remember about it, I played with Jive (which is my primary suspect) (in the Walkman app)...
After that, I tried factory reset...and my last factory reset is last night... and this time, I havent activated my Google account and everything.. just to make sure that no account is activated...
Regarding stamina mod, I have tried it... even used Green Power Premium app (they are very useful)...but only after that issue occurred, then I try to leave it as factory default (I didnt install anything or activate any apps)... and as I said, it still drains the battery severly... and this so called "Media" remains there...
As you can see in the attached pics (sorry for the orientation)..
Thanks ...

Look at this screen shot. On data usage you can show wifi usage as well. Then look if media is listed and how many kb or mb it used. Don't get confuse by the dual panel, my XZU is rooted and I use xposed framework.

download 'betterbattery stats'
Its on the playstore. It will tell you what the wakelocks are. 'media' may be something totally unreleated, and its just what your system thinks is hogging the battery...
do you have LightFlow installed? someone mentioned in another forum that it was killing his battery with that app installed

Media is not draining anything for me as well. Also just few kb on my data usage, but I remember I got it on my Nexus 7 as well, after a full wipe and flashing a new ROM at morning it was empty. But the day after it wasn't anymore.
You said you didn't registered any gmail account yet. Did it happen as well when you had a Gmail account registered? Just wonder if there is not a bug with the phone connect to Internet and the lack of an account link to playstore.

BTW, it's been around 15 minutes since I unplugged the charger.. now battery capacity is down to 91%...
It s just standby with wifi active...."Media" consumption 72%
Data service is only around 150 Kb
I just dont understand what is happening...
Maybe battery is damaged?
Do what I suggested. It will tell you exactly what the problem is. Link you to a site explaining what to do for that particular Wake lock.
You can also run an app called 'cool tool'
It will run in real time and tell you what CPU frequency you are running
Here is a video I made about the heat issues of the S4.. It will help you too

Hi, I think the reason of battery drains is not related with downloading data..
I dont know how it happens, but it seems that my device always active even if the screen is off.
I installed app called "wakelock detector"..
The media is the service that keep my device "awake"... it prevents/blocks the system from sleeping...
My question is what is the cause? is my device get infected by virus or malware?
Any suggestion to solve this issue? or is it hardware defect?
EDIT:
I have solved the problem.
I reformatted the sd card and factory reset.
Now, it's back to normal again.
It seems that the system keep on trying to scan the media file in the sd card.
There must be something wrong with my sd card (may be bad sector/cluster).
After reformatted it, everything seems normal.
Cheers

I'm not familiar with that app. Did you try betterbattery stats? It should have told you what it was, and linked you to a site explaining what the app or service is. Then you can freeze that service or uninstall it if its not a system app.
