Can anyone tell me what is happening to my phone? Why media used 73% of total battery? Many thanks!

lol, a cliff...
just to see in this pic, it might media keep sync or playing, try recharge it and monitor with BBS
I had the same problem, turned out to be a corrupt MP3 on my SDCard causing the Media Scanner service to go crazy. I used an MP3 fixing program to correct it and it now Media is less than 2%.
What is the program name?

You are maybe also affected by this bug, very, very annoying: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37199
There is also an app to deactivate the bloody media scanner, but that is also an temporary fix only, because from time to time we need it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot&feature=search_result
Personally, I have a shortcut on my home screen to deactivate and another to activate that service... It seems also to be triggered by too many files in a single folder (If I understand the bug report correctly).
Its called MP3Validator (Windows) - http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/

Hello,
My battery status shows me at MEDIA approximately 30%.
How can I eliminate the power-hungry?
I had the same issue and traced it to an app that was accessing my sd card all the time. Un installing that app solved my battery and I'm back to approx 2 days life.

Perfect for your note that it is. How did you discover the app always had access to the SD card?

What do you mean it "shows you at media approximately 30%"?
I have no idea what that means, but it seems like you're trying to communicate.
Here is a good app for finding processes that drain your battery: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats

I have the same problem on CRASH ROM 3.1v. It drains the battery once you activate any media video from your phone. To deactivate the glitch need to open task manager and CLEAR RAM. Unfortunately this is a temporary fix. Looking for permanent fix.
This is common case if there is significant amount of media files on the device. Media scanner makes a database of the files and if you have like 10000 or more it takes time and resources.
There is several apps on the store for that phenomenon.

So im having issues with my phone not going into deep sleep. It does it on every rom. So I froze it with rom toolbox and that does nothing. I also have cpu sleeper and this stupid media keeps it from DS. I dont want to reboot and clear caches every single freakin time either. Can I delete this media or what? Oh I also defrosted it and I still can click on it in battery stats and force close it. please help before I go crazy

I dont get it either mine doesn't ever sleep either. I have tried cpu sleeper, int.d script tweaks, sleep from the widgets on phone to put it to sleep and nothin works. I did a logcat to check if a wakelock is on and I didn't see anything .

Don't know how willing you are to do this, but you can move all your media to your PC, then delete it off your internal and external. That for sure will fix it. Or else you have to m to find the one piece or pieces of corrupted media and delete it.

Do you know what it could be in the media file? What would happen if I just deleted it. off my phone? Lastly when you say find the pieces and delete it. look in the media folder? Thanks loop

Mainly happens with Facebook (have locations disabled but still turns on the GPS and tries to get a lock)
Randomly the GPS will try to get a lock (or even get one) and stay on, even after the application that was using it is closed... Have tried using terminal to stop the location service and doesn't do anything...
Anyone found a workaround for this (besides the normal rebooting)... It started to eat the battery like crazy when it does this

I have this same problem. My solution was to stop using the Facebook app as it is the only one that causes me the problem.

I've had the same problem with the Facebook app, I suggest turning the GPS off from the pull down bar before entering the app all together

Make sure your media players arent still running in the background and that your network programs arent keeping your phone awake by scanning for new media every few minutes...
When my phone used media excessively, I just went into my media players (allshare, dice player, mx player, UPnPlay, XBMC, etc) and made sure media scans were set accordingly and then shut my phone off and let it charge to full strength.... worked for me

Thanks for the reply. I tried that also. Upnp un installed already. Even took of the battery n reboot couple of times but the DRM Protected thing and media storage still killing my battery

What you ladies and gents are staring at is a wake lock. In this case, due to the MediaScannerService.
There are a few different causes, one being some corrupt image, sound or video file somewhere on your SD card.
Solutions range from killing the service to finding the troublesome files and deleting them.
Good luck,

A few games I play trigger the MediaScanner services to come on and keep the phone awake (wakelock). One being NFS:MW. If you long press the home button after playing it and swipe it away it will kill it.
Like 30% of my battery for the third day in a row is Maps, yet I haven't opened maps once. I restart everyday and it happens again. I assume it has to be the gps, but i dont know of any app that is using it, either.
Touchdown uses about the same amount of battery, so I'm wondering if it has some gps feature running I don't know about? How do I figure out what the problem is?

try this, go to your app manager, locate your map(gps) etc.. and wipe cache.
If you turn off your location access i think it might help.
Using anything like Google now ?
