http://forums.androidcentral.com – Ok i have had my Nexus 10 for weeks now. I already exchanged it once due to light bleed and random battery drain and reboots. This is my second one and the battery life is much better but ever once in a while I will get horrible battery due to media server. Like today i played I played Chaos Rings at half brightness for 20 minutes and when i went into my battery it said Chaos Rings 20% Mediaserver 57% its kind of weird screen wasn't in battery when I checked. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Mediaserver drain?

I've come to notice that Mediaserver occasionally eats a disproportionate chunk of my Nexus 4s battery; it took the cake last night. I left work on a full charge and screwed with my phone through the evening, with MS taking a small ~10% chunk, before leaving it at around ~60-65% for the evening.

When I woke up, my battery was around 37%, with 1h20m worth of screen time.

Hello,

I recently purchased a galaxy s3 lte with the extended 3000mah battery. I have found the battery drain to be unusually high. it is draining at around 3% an hour. I am on the sentinel ROM. I changed to the normal slim battery and it also seemed to be draining at a similar rate.

Battery life after update? 13 weeks 4 days ago

Normally I have to TRY and drain the battery to get below 10% before charging at night. Today (first day after update) my battery life was horrible. Noticed HTC Sense and Android OS were at the top of what was using battery. Those two were usually in the middle of what was using the battery. Wondering if anyone else had the same problem

Music battery drain . 16 weeks 6 days ago

Hi I've posted this before but didn't have good screen shot. This is with only 1.5 odd hours of music consider im @ 11 %.

I got my VM GS2 4G the first weekend it came out. I liked the advertised battery life, but quickly realized that my phone suffered from heavy battery drain as many of them do.

Media draining battery 21 weeks 6 days ago

Hi everyone. I installed the deodexed version of the JB leak the other day. I've been having crazy battery drains, so I installed gsam battery manager. At 90 percent charge, media has caused nearly 30 percent of that 10 percent of total drain. I haven't played any music or anything like that. Can anyone help me stop this drain? Thanks!

Xperia V running 4.1.2

I don't know why, on CM10 it was nothing like this: 2 hours of playing mp3s results in a mediaserver drain equal to 2 hours of screen time. 2 hours screen on, 2 hours mp3, both are at 40% and my battery is 2/3rds gone. I've done a lot of searching but nobody has found any solution. This is not media scanning, it's simply stupidly high power consumption when playing mp3s.

I just bought a shiny new HTC one and am super pleased with it.

A friend of mine (who has an iphone 5) recently told me that I should let the battery fully drain 4-5 times and fully charge it to 100% from 0% during the first couple of weeks - and then do it once a month thereafter to prolong the battery life.

I did a search on this forum and people's opinions on this seem scattered.

Terrible Battery Drain 33 weeks 1 day ago

I could use some help here...I have been on Turge's Viper ROM for the last few weeks and getting fantastic battery life (increasingly better with each time I charge the battery). Well, today I took my phone off the charger and it has now dropped from fully charged to 80% in just an hour and 1/2, with very light to no usage, and mainly on Wi-Fi.
