I updated facebook and made some calls yesterday, then I charged my phone over night. I used it today and the SD card wouldn't load apps so I unmounted it then mpunted it again. Then I rebooted, which took longer than usual, because I haven't rebooted since I installed CWMr. All of a sudden, I'm running on low space. I had 80mb, then it dropped to twenty. What happened?

So yesterday I reported that I had a process showing up in spare parts called "0" at the top under network usage. Thought it was the blockbuster app so I removed that app but I was wrong as the "0" reappeared today. Anybody have any idea as to what this process could be? It's also showing up on my other stock non rooted phone. Also last night I let my battery drain completely during calibration, I plugged it in and let it charge til this morning, when I unplugged it I looked at battery usage just for heck of it and it showed awake time of 1 hour. How the heck! It was dead I plugged it in turned phone on and went to sleep.... no usage any ideas! Thanks.

SDcard show up under battery, surprising since there is no sd card in a galaxy nexus..
Anybody know what's going wrong or how to stop the battery drain ??
I've had this exact same issue! It happened at the same time as my other issue of app sizes continuing to climb upwards and the phone getting laggier in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715363
I just resorted to a factory reset, which resolved the problem. Sorry I can't be of much help, as I still have no idea what the issue is, but it was definitely taking a noticeable toll on my battery life.

I would be concerned of what you have installed on your device, that it is calling itself sdcard.
Nexus internal sdcard is mostly named just sdcard, but this is first time i see it in battery stats. Maybe it's some bad app? Maybe you should uninstall apps one by one and see if it's go away.

Nexus does not have an internal sdcard and symlinks cannot use battery so I would say its an app.

I mean that 16gb internal storage which is called sdcard in most apps. And i know that it can't be in battery stats, that's why i said it's an app.
Same problem, a solution without having to do a factory reset?
Anyone come up with a solution here?
So I'm guessing the lack of responses in this thread (and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792361&highlight=sdcard+battery) means no one has any idea why SDcard usage would be so high?
Maybe it is not the amount of power that sd card uses, it is amount of power that the phone uses to read the sd card. If you did lots of things that needs reading from sd card, battery show that kind of information. Some program with wrong commands may couse this

Thats what I figured but there shouldnt be anything thats accessing it, especially overnight in sleep mode, the SDcard has more CPU usage time than any other app, by a landslide.
Have you looked at your running apps? (Settings>Apps>Running)
Maybe you can find out what app may be running called "sdcard".
Sounds a bit fishy. While there is no physically removable SD card, the phones internal memory is partitioned so you have some space which is recognized as the 'sdcard'.
In any case I've never seen anything like that in my battery drain, and even if there was, it definitely shouldn't be draining those amounts while the phone is idle..

I've gone through them but can't seem to figure out whats going on...i've also run logcat but that hasnt turned up any useful info either.
And when you press on sdcard under the battery usage, what screen shows up? Does it say it's an app? Could you provide a screen shot?

Here are screenshots from my battery usage, after clicking on the app, and my build info. I've got the same thing and its completely eating my battery life. This was within 1 hour of use.
This just started happening to my galaxy nexus -- no idea why?
GSAM Battery Monitor shows System (sdcard) running at 17% and its really affecting battery life, I can actually watch the number drain by the minute.
I am not looking to do a factory reset again and I am running Bugless Beast 4.1.1 rom and have been for about 2 months now and never had this problem, anyone have any idea what could cause this?
Just started happening to me today. I just installed lookout so I hope that is the problem. Just uninstalled it to see if that was the culprit.
I'm 100% certain Google Music is causing mine.
Mine always says sdcard and media are the processes running that are eating my battery.
I can reboot and fix the issue, temporarily, but as soon as I play Google Music it starts back. I'm going to clear data and cache (for Google Music only). Now that I think about it this has been happening since Google Music's last update ~1 month ago.
I'm running the latest Trinity kernel and RasBeanJelly, but this happened while on Bugless Beast as well, so it's not a kernel/ROM issue either.
Recently my Galaxy Note 2 has started giving me battery trouble. Till about 10 days ago it used to give me approximately 18-20 hrs battery life on moderate use. Now for some reason i get only 8-9 hrs max without any usage. It just shows a high usage of media and the phone never goes to sleep mode. After reading a few threads i tried the following:
> I removed the external sd card and wiped it.
Result: The phone was back to normal without the external sd card. As soon as i put it back. It kept rescanning for no reason. Even though there was nothing on it. I know for a fact that the sd card isnt spoilt or even non compatible, as it was working fine for so many months. It works fine on my other phones too.
I'm attaching the log file of Better battery stats app as i was told it would be useful in answering my query. Could someone please solve this problem for me. Thanks in advance.
Media scan bug is pretty common on jelly bean. Unfortunately the only fix I have been using is using mediascan root from play store. If you are rooted then download media scan root.
Only side effect is that if you have a new media file.. You need to re enable it. But all it takes is just a click and a reboot.
Check it out and I'm sure itll fix the media scan bug.

You have a corrupted file in your sd card probably.

It might be a corrupt MP3 on the card. Happened to me, even though the music played OK. I ran MP3 validator (Windows app) and it fixed it.

Note II 16GB, stock ROM, not rooted.
I had exactly the same problem - overnight my battery life dropped from 2 days to less than 12 hrs. Mounting the SD card on my pc a msg popped up that the card was corrupt, I ran the scan and fix, put the card back in the phone and it's working perfectly again. I was very surprised but not unhappy.
This is the second card, the first (Kingston 32GB) was killed after just 8 months, 4 months later the replacement card was corrupted. All the other Kingston cards I've bought for myself and my family work perfectly, some are many years old. Could it be a Samsung problem? After using SD cards in Windows phones for the last 10 years and finding them very reliable, having one card irreparably damaged and another corrupted on the same phone in 12 months makes me wonder if it's more than a coincidence.
I've been having the media server drain for about 3 weeks now. I've used mp3 checker and removed any bad mp3s I've also tried Drketans media scanner disabler and still have the drain. It's about 10% if my battery per day and about 2 1/2 hours phone awake. Anyone any ideas?

It's GSam Battery Monitor, my phone drains from 100% to 95% in like 15 minutes. I found that one of the culprits was a Pansi SMS theme, and the other (the biggest one) was "Media", which drained 35% of the battery. The phone was kept awake for 7 minutes, and under included processes it says *wakelock* android.process.media.
Is there a way to stop this?

You can force stop media but that's temporally. You'll need to find which file is causing it (most likely one unreadable by your media player).
Could also be coming from your external sd card (if you have one).
Sadly sometimes the only solution is a full super wipe... did the trick for me (I needed to anyway)
Hmm...i do have an external sd card. But it's used for music video and downloads. There's no apps installed on it.
What do you mean by a super wipe? Is that different from a regular wipe? If not then I just did a cache/dalvik wipe a week ago.
How would I go about finding the file that's responsible for this?

Super wipe basically wipes everything of our internal card in other words going to TWRP and erasing data. Its basically just searching and searching on how to open the media so that's why its high.
Another option is to move all your pictures and videos and other downloads to your ext SD card. Then wipe data on the internal card and see if once you boot backup again and an hour or so of running if it isn't so high.
Hello,
I have flashed 4.3 on a day it arrived to oir community, I've C1904, but flashed C1905 firmware. Everything was smooth until one day i noticed that battery is draining too fast, i checked powee management after full charge, it showed only 14 hours on stamina mode, initially it used to show about 2 days.
I reflashed the firmware, It started showing almost 2 days remaining but after 2 days same story, I've flashed firmware multiple times but the same thing happening with me again and again.
Is there anyone else with the same problem and anyone with solution?
HELP GUYS, I'M REALLY IN TROUBLE.
Are you doing a fresh installation?
If you have many apps remove some, especially apps with services that are constantly running.
Also, I noticed that you are connected to wifi, when you don't use it turn it off.
I've fresh 4.3 fft installed, stock kernel with cwm and unlocked bootloader.
I've debloated the whole rom and using memory swap, thats what extra from stock rom...
