mediaserver keeping phone awake, but I don't have any media - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
so I have issue with mediaserver. In 2 hours of screen off idling, mediaserver keeps phone awake for half of the time. The thing is, I removed all pictures, videos and audio from internal storage, and it still does this.
How can I figure out what's going on?

Do you have a memory card?

no

Try using gsam battery monitor to find out the culprit. If you can't find it, then factory reset

I have tried different roms. I have superwiped my sd card and formatted my external card. I have flashed the stock ICS firmware and then tried flashing from that. I have tried to use System Tuner from the market to freeze or disable some of the responsibilities of downloads, downloads, sec.android.providers.downloads, drm content manager and it just seems to make other things not work like the market or downloading files.
I don't know what else to do but I cannot seem to shake this battery drain...please help!!!

Better Battery Stats is installed. I plugged and unplugged and now I'm letting it gather its stats. I have to go to work and so that will allow the 1-4 hours to compile a proper dump and I will attempt to post it here. Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

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

I do have it on auto update but the thing is that I was having no problems as of 2 - 3 weeks when I was flashing up to a Rom a day trying to find the best jellybean one. Then all of a sudden, BAM!!!

I did format it and started from scratch but it is still being a *****, lol. However, I installed bbs and after 4 hours of it runnning while at work it reset itself for some reason and doesn't show me a log. But I plugged and unplugged and seem to be having some drain but not as much.

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...

LG G2 Kitkat (German Rls) Rootet - Removeable stuff / Tuning

Hi,
Now that we have the Vodafone Release / Kitkat *rootable*, let's talk about Removeable / tuning things
I currently have removed the whole Vodafone Crap (disabled or uninstalled)
Also some other things that i dont need ....
After a reboot i have 1,05gb Ram free ......
I started some apps and then let it layin around to test the usage with Wakelock Detector:
I'am really impressed since Kitkat for now.....
Ok what i have removed;
System/apps/bootup : everything, expect LGTaskManager.apg
system/Preload/LG : everything
system/vendor/carrier : everything
system/vendor/carrier/system : everything (can't remember what was here ....)
here are screens from what i have frozen with titanium backup:
i also disabled the MLT stuff like in JB before
So why not list what you removed/froze?
change dpi!?
is there any way to change the dpi? i tried with build prop editor but had no luck
since i had my phone on 380dpi... 480 is way too big for me

i think we can do nearly anything what we have done before with jb, like smaller navbar mod and such ..... i mod it later,
hopefully that xposed will arive soon ......
Yeah if someone finds out how to shrink nav bar in build prop or anything let us know

I don't think it's going to fix it. I've already reflashed KitKat 3 times (different kdzs, zips), done hard reset, but BT wakelock still exists...

Setcpu and get amazing idle battery life

Okay guys, so after using a lot of tweaks for the rom I'm at a point where my performance and battery life is pretty good. So here's the one one app which always saves battery life like a pro:
SetCPU - it's a life savor, try setting up some profiles in it for the different battery states and lock screen etc. By setting normal CPU on lock screen to 300 it got so much better battery life.
To find the app just search "SetCPU" in play store, it does require root acces.
Sent from my LG-D620 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmm, I am pretty sure that SetCPU needs a custom kernel with change-able clock speeds.

To overclock? Yes. To manage CPU profiles according to battery level, lock screen and so on. Only root is needed. Its only the frequency it changes

sorry for offtopic, before i factory reset i used rom toolbox pro for cpu profiles. i also found sd booster - it works for internal memory and external micro sd card.
i see there is standalone app for that also -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=pl

i don't know. imho it does not because it's about caching files, it's something like creating ram from int/ext memory and someone said:
Yeah it will degrade the life of the sdcard, which is why I advise users to perform due diligence in the Disclaimer/Warning.
But from the research I did it seems that the degradation is negligible enough that something else in the device will break before the sdcard. Or even more likely the user will replace their device due to pace of technology before the degradation is really noticed.

creating 256mb swap partition is more than actually making 4mb cache so i think it is barely impossible to damage the storage even because we download many apps or games so the storage is filling with data too
it is only my opinion

OK here's the report
Charged the phone on wall but just till 95% because I needed alarm and I have to put the phone on a charging lane, anyway, at 100% I calibrated the battery and it seems it is a bit better now...
Tonight I will let it charge 100% at wall and see how it goes tomorrow, BTW the Google services alarms and Facebook alarms are killing me, drain a lot of battery.
As a conclusion, în my way to school I listen music and play a bit with the phone, before calibration I arrived at school with 88-89%, today I arrived with 95%(not bad), a road of 35-40 minutes...quite good, but I want more
