What does it mean when "media" is using most of my device's battery? Any time I turn on the TW music my phone gets super hot and battery drains about 1% per minute. Even if I kill the music app the battery drain continues. I have about 1000 songs on a 32gb external SD....could that be a factor? Below are my battery stats.

You pretty much answered your own question. Chances are that it's coming from your external. I'd suggest to format it and when you re-add the music to it, make sure it's well placed in folders and not a mess.
Well I unmounted and removed the external card, and its still just as hot as before even after restarting. Battery is draining at 1% every 2 minutes...at this rate I'll be getting 2hrs with 30 mins screen on time

Umm it might be from a app then. Get BetterBatteryStats (either from XDA or market) and see what causes all this drain.
Probably coming from an app that is loading ads.

That would make sense...but I only have 2 apps downloaded from the play store. Instagram and xda. In order to conserve battery life I try to do all of my business on the built in browser, downloading an app only when I need it, and then uninstalling.
Plus I've only used a handful of apps in the last month and they have never caused a spike like this. I discard all running apps on an hourly basis.

I use an app called rescan media root. Found it only happens on certain roms

Last night I had a weird battery drain for the first time... it went down from 100% to 76% in 8 hours of sleep... looks like the call app is the reason... I'm on stock without root.
Have a look

Reboot the phone in recovery, clear caches and reboot. That should solve it mate.

No, the screen was off all nighty but the phone was awake most of it.
Do you use Perseus kernel ? Same happened to me a couple time while using it.
I got it too this night. Had 48% when I went to bed, 7 hours later battery dropped to 19%. First time I get that, and also the phone app that's been eating the juice. My device is not modded at all.

Need more info, my guess is a background app. Looks like you are stock 100%? That's your problem, lol... Just messing. What is your screen time? Click on display to see that... You're in a 4g area so signal shouldn't be the culprit. Your media is #1 user, but why, were you using it?
More like an hour and a half close to 2..if you used it for like 20 to 25 minutes I would think it's common. Like dude said above me we need screen time, also data technically eats battery away faster than wifi just a thought. Brightness is important too maybe you can try power saving mode, don't expect much difference though. Darker wallpaper helps, but most importantly are you auto syncing and if so which apps it usually starts there. Every little bit helps, most powerful phones have average battery life. Unless you start undervolting voltages and cpu that's where you see the big difference.

Has to be a rogue app. Try wiping the phone and reinstall everything with increments to get to the root of your problem.

Okay guys, I hope this phone gets better battery life than 8 hours, and I'm not hard on a phone at all. Any ideas on this? My wake locks are horrible for some reason and I'm running the synergy r71.

Install BetterBatteryStats. Great tool for identifying what's killing your battery. You may post some screenshots if need be.

Deep sleep battery will help alot as well your at 49% so if you think of it by the time you are drained to 10 youll probably have about 18+hrs of battery

Yeah alot of people freak out when tbe phone gets to about 50% they don't realize that thats half the day usually. ... and it also depends on how long your last flash was it takes a few days forvthe kernel to settle.

This is happening when I'm downloading a huge file like a ROM or anything that's a couple hundred MB. Here's a screenshot from Trickster MOD

The battery temp gets around 90°F and the CPU at 120°F!!!
Is this sort of normal for it to be acting like this when constantly downloading? I'm getting a little worried.

Just for the sake of narrowing it down.
•Have you dropped your phone recently?
•How big is the file?
•Are you over/underclocking?
•If you let your phone idle and then check the temp, what is it?
As I type this, I'm at 85°/110°, and my phone is only slightly warm to the touch.

I rarely if ever drop my phone and I drop it either on carpet (that's my floor) never have I dropped it on concrete. Usually it heats up when downloading 300MB+ or playing 3D intense games. My idling is 40°C for the battery and 45°C CPU. Which feels just about normal until I download and use my phone.

I thinks it automaticly went to deep sleep as soon you put the phone to sleep, maybe you got some apps that keeps awaking your phone.
In my case I change the kernel, you can try it if you want might help you

I'm using stock kernel. deep sleep works on both stock and custom kernels. use Wakelock Detector 1.5 to check what things that keeps ur phone awake, and greenify them (if possible, use greenify donate)
