I installed battery stats and have noticed that something cslled media server is eating aloy of my battery. Even when I am not consuming any media. Any ideas on this situation and what I ciuld do to rectify it? Also how much battery to twitter and google reader widgets generally drain?

It's an app. I had to uninstall Hotels.com due to this same problem.

How the hell can I figure which app?

I had this same problem. Are you using an external sd card? If so remove it. Reset battery statistics and see if it is still draining. Also take note of what processes media server is using. I had to reformat my sd card... And put the files I wanted on it back on... Now everything works fine. Apparently I had a few files on my sd card that forced media server to be in a scanning loop.

Also, if you've ever linked that phone/sd to a Mac computer either via phone or sd card slot, Macs put erroneous files onto sd card. So I suggest formatting the sd card via phone or via a Windows system. FYI.

Are you talking about the the phones memory or the external memory card? Thanks

The physical sd card. My problem was that I have used that sd card since the days of my nexus one. When I took a look at that sd card on my mac and viewed the hidden files there were some odd files on it. So I did some googling and come to find out some of those files would craft problems with Android. So I backed up all my music and pics from the sd card into a Windows system. Then I reformatted the card, threw the files back on. And voila, it worked. I have seen on other forums that people have had this problem. Some of which weren't running sd cards. .. But this seemed to fix my problem. I must also add that I didn't narrow the problem down 100%. While reformatting I also deleted a lot of files from previous applications. So that not too say that maybe those particular files weren't causing the problems.

I dropped my phone the other day and my gallery and all the other apps that require my sd card say no SD card detected. I've tried two different cards and am convinced it is broken or not functional. Has anyone had this problem? If so, any fix for it?
Update: I booted up in to clockwork and it read it there.

Do you have a PC access to a SD Card Reader?
You could copy all the files off; format it (fat32) and then put the files back on and put it back in the phone.
I've already tried a different card and it didn't work either

If it reads it in clockwork I would try Odin to full stock and see if it works there. Best method for finding out if it hardware or software.

SD Card loses detection
My Samsung Epic 4G's SD card loses connection at random times. In the middle of recording a video, or when idle, and it will not restore full function until I restart the phone.
When it fails, I cannot take pictures or video, or view my gallery. It says no SD card detected. When viewing the "My Files" folder or storage space meter, it still shows the card's folder directories, the files in them, how much free space is available, and I can open and view individual files and photos from there, but I cannot delete or modify them until I restart the phone.
It could not be connected by USB to the computer through the phone. It made connect and disconnect sounds rapidly and repeatedly.
The card works fine and transfers files to the computer with the MicroSD card adapter.
Disconnect problem persists after I removed all videos and photos to free 95% of the 16gb card's space.
Should I reformat?
Okay, you know when u go to task manager, then u click on the Storage part...
Mine shows, 3 different storage locations, and how much is stores there...
First is System Storage
Second is USB Storage
Third is SD Card Storage
For some reason, everything on my phone, is only going to the USB storage now & so I have no room left.
I have lots of games & apps on my phone... Most I "moved to SD card".. Or so I thought...
If I go to an app & it says that it is installed on SD card, wouldn't that mean that it is on the SD Card storage??
I can't figure out why all my USB storage is gone now & I have almost all my SD Card storage space still available...
What could be the issue here?? It never used to be like this..
Anyone have any ideas.as what I can do to resolve this issue..
Any input, would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks guys!

The phone saves everything to the internal storage natively. I don't remember if the stock rom labels the internal as SD card and the external as external_SD or if it's just calk's rom. But if it does that could explain why when your trying to push stuff to the SD it's not working since the phones reads internal as SD card. You could try and look in the settings if your using an app to push stuff and specify the location or there's a thread in general I believe that shows how to make your external your "internal" storage and anything new should be saved to it.

Yeah I tried that. I even tried the sdcard.org site but for some reason my sd card wasn't recognized! I have a mac so I just used disc utility. The funny thing is, I formatted the card, dragged my ring tones to the card and tested. They showed up, so I dragged the rest of it over. My stuff disappeared and wasn't seen in the gallery, but was in root explorer.
Is there a folder or file or something that determines the formatting? I have a lost.dir folder that comes up and I have no idea why.

Ok, the lost.dir is normal.
Go into app manager, clear cache and data for Media Storage, then reboot and wait a few min for it to rescan.

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try. I'm going to give Frosty JB a try and see what happens. Hopefully it works out like I'm hoping it will.
I took some pictures and a few hours later, when I decided to review them, the files wouldn't open. My S3 says that the files are corrupted. I tried opening them up with my pc but it still states the same. I don't know what happened, I didn't take the sd card out or anything. I can view older photos but not the last ones I took. I really need those pictures, is there any way to retrieve them or to fix the files? Please help!
I have a T-Mobile GS3 4.1.2 and a Samsung 64gb class 10 SD card.
Are you rooted? Using a Rom? Any mods, particularly camera mods?
Is your sd formatted as exFat? May be that the card is going bad. Make sure you back up all the data on it just in case.
If you take more pics, do they all show up correctly?

Thanks for the quick response.
-My phone is rooted.
-I am not using any roms.
-No mods, everything is stock (except for the root).
-The sd is formatted as exFat.
-I can still view and save things in the sd card.
-I made a copy of everything and saved it in my laptop. I can see the corrupted files, it shows they are there, their size, info, and everything but when I try opening them it just says that the files are corrupted.
Set the camera to save to internal storage. Take some pics and if they're corrupted its a camera or software problem. If they're ok it may be the card.
Try reforming the card and try again.

I can save them in my internal storage. I'm pretty sure its not the camera. I just want to recover my photos but if I reformat it, I will lose everything.
Is there any way to fix the files or do something around those lines that will allow me to recover them?
No idea. If they were corrupted when they were saved, you're probably outta luck I'm afraid. Even.If they were corrupted later, I wouldn't know how to even start on something like this. I doubt it's really even very possible. Sorry.

And the only way to know if it's the camera is to set it to internal, and take pictures.
If they're fine, it's not the camera. If they're also corrupted, it MIGHT be the camera.

Not rooted. Sd card no longer accepts camera storage. I have 30+ free gb of storage on the card and yesterday it completely stopped storing. Could have been an update im unsure. The setting is defaulted to sd storage but they disappear after reboot. Anyone have this issue or a resolution? Sca

Check on a PC to see if the SD card is corrupted or stuck in read-only. If that is the case, you will need a new card. Had the same issue, bought a new card and that cured that, for now, but still corrupted the pics afterwards. Spoke with sprint and they said it was not a known issue. A few others are having the same issue.

There are many ways to check, when I put in my MicroSD directly into my laptop running Windows 8.1, it said there was a error with the drive and needed to be fixed, I believe windows 7 might do the same thing. You can also format the SD card to see if it works, but if you format it, you lose everything. I would make a backup folder of your SD card contents before hand. However, after taking out the SD card and putting it back in the note 4, the new SD card that I bought stopped corrupting my pictures, so it might just go away over time.

Plug into the computer and it recognized the files fine. I backed everything up and attempted to format the card in the phone. It did nothing. I deleted all of the content on the computer and it reappeared after formatting on the phone. Pretty confused

It's a bad SD card then, SanDisk SD card are known for having this issue. Depending on the manufacturer, there is a warranty. I just got a new card instead since I paid around 27 for a 64GB on amazon. Either way should solve the problem. There are SD card formatter software out there, but when mine had that error, it said it was write-protected. Could also try that, but doubt it will work
