Battery drain too fast - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys my battery experience on my note 2 it was awesome until i receive a small update 32mb from a week
Now my battery drain too fast when the phone is locked and normal drain when switched on
In settings >battery i found media server is on the top of the list i search all the topics format my microsd with pc but still the same
I also try to format it from the phone itself but the problem still the same i search over all my files for corrupted files may cause mediaserver from preventing the device to sleep but i didn't find something wrong my files are so clean
Please does someone know what causing mediaserver to use this amount of battery ?

Maybe media scanning process.
if your is rooted , download this
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot&feature=search_result
you can disable the media scanner in this app, see if this media process usage decrease or even disappear.
IF your phone doesn't have root
download this version

[Q] sd card battery drain

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.

Bad Android System battery drain

What I found about this problem on my GS3 is that this happen when I use Google maps and Navigation. It seems to keep the location services even when application is closed. I was able to reproduce this 3 times now. The way to fixed is to go to all applications find the Maps then remove all updates and then try to Disable the application then reboot ( you can't completely disable the Maps because is considering a system apps and after the reboot will start again but you can do the same thing one more time or until android system change to system from Gsiff_daemon or gone as aprocess). Then you can install again Google maps updates. Eventually will happen again but let's hope for update from Samsung or Google maps.
Here is the solution if you want to delete Gsiff_daemon file since you are rooted. To see if you have this problem hit the reflesh button on your battery summary screen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30531242&postcount=185
Also here is the whole tread about Gsiff_daemon problem:

IN RELATION TO GSIFF_DAEMON
do any of you guys have the "increase volume in pocket" setting on in phone-->settings?
also do any of you have motion settings enabled and/or autorotation on?
Seems it has to do with the gyro issue
also are you guys rooted or non-rooted?
Crapppp
Jellybean didn’t solve it. Gsiff_daemon just popped up for me. Just renamed it AGAIN.
Hopefully it won't pop up again

Bad android system battery drain
Hey guys,
so if nobody found the solution yet to this problem, i have a possible one. I researched all day today about this problem and decided to start testing things. After doing a few tests, my battery at the moment is doing great. Its estimated time remaining on standby is 12 days. its kinda crazy lol.
anyways so I took off my LTE network and just set it to regular GSM or CDMA (depending on your provider, mine was CDMA) in Settings > More settings > mobile networks > network mode.
I also went into Settings > Application Manager. Scrolled towards the right to the 'All' tab. Went into the apps I dont use and unchecked 'show notifications' box, and also cleared cache. Also, I disabled Samsung Account, Samsung Backup Provider, and Samsung Cloud Data relay.
Then after that, I went to Settings > Backup and reset , and I unchecked Backup my data, and automatic restore.
I'm still testing. My wakelocks are still really really high. About 130/hour. I'll let you guys know more if I find anything else.
UPDATE: I let my S3 sit on my night table all night unplugged. The battery went from 95% to 91%. My android system went from
35-45% usage down to 6-8%. average 0.5%/hour battery drain in standby. Android system is still giving me wakelocks though, approx.
60/hour in standby. But when I checked betterbatterystats, the deep sleep was activated the whole time, and not partially wakelocked.
I really hope this helps you guys. Ill try turning on some of the apps today to try and pinpoint exactly where this battery drain is coming
from.

[Q/ GSM version] Battery Drain due to Media Server

Hi all!
Recently, I updated my Galaxy Nexus to 4.1.1.
I found that the battery drains. Battery level went down 1% per minute.
I did not meet this problem when I was using 4.0.4
How should I fix this problem?
Thanks a lot

Hmm.. same here. Battery Life was better on ICS, that I agree. But JB is really awesome! Anyway, about your problem, I suggest making sure you kill your apps more frequently (Going into MultiTasking and just sliding them all away). This seemed to help me.
I have been trying to figure this out for days. I've read countless threads with no luck. I've got no mhaic , videos or pictures on my phone and its still using a lot of battery. Willing to offer bounty for a proper fix

Just the worst advice ever. You don't need to manage your tasks. If you've got an app misbehaving that's causing drain, you need to uninstall it and use something that's coded properly.

Well that's true. Sorry if I said it wrong. But yes, some apps are coded horribly like Facebook and cause terrible battery drain. So, just uninstall it.

I don't own this device but my battery was draining so fast and I flashed ,, pimp my rom,, and battery lasts for about 2 days (earlier it was barely 1 day)
Press thanks if I helped you
I've shut my Bluetooth off And the drain seems to have stopped

Search the forums and download better battery stats - you can also purchase the paid version from the play store - Run that for a day or so and it will tell you what is eating your battery.
Also, some more information (screen captions, your 'average' use, ROM, Kernel, etc) could help this thread a bit as well.
If you have a rogue app that is causing drain, better battery stats will help you find it.
After I got a program which tests mp3 files and removed all which had errors the media scanning stopped going on forever and killing the battery. I don't know which program off hand but I bet there are several free pc apps to test mp3's online.

This does not kill apps. It merely removes them from the Recent Apps list. If you want to kill apps, you have to go to the Apps manager in settings and force stop. Or use apps that offer such functionality like Android System Info.
---
I also have this issue, but force stopping the medisscanner (or related apps) resolves it temporarily. I'll try the mp3 validation suggestion
Solving of Battery drain Issue
Please check on your device on app which using most of the battery. I used GSam Battery Monitor so that it will shown me the most usage of apps consuming the battery. Just tap on it, tap "manage" then tap on "Force stop".
This accually required on every charge, restart or playing / downloading a media files. Some people suggest clear data on media storage, however, it clear all your custom ringtone and others too. By doing Force stop, nothing will be affected....
Enjoy!!

Severe battery drain + Extremely hot battery

I've been using the P. A. C. man rom for about a month now but recently I lose about 20 percent drain per hour. Any tips
Are you over clocked?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I dont know. What is the standard speed and I'll check.
Looks like your phone it's locked on max clock of CPU. Get CPU spy app and check that out. Could be a case that your phone does not like that kernel you have on.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III
Before everyone reads too deeply into this, can we see the battery statistics of your phone (Settings -> Battery)? It'd probably also be helpful if you give BetterBatteryStats a spin.
I'm guessing that you have some rogue process which is running even when your phone is asleep, keeping it awake and eating your battery life. (If I had to make a more specific guess, I'd ask first if you've got a lot of media files on an external SD card - there's a bug in Jelly Bean et al that causes the media scanner to exhibit said sticking behaviour under those conditions.)

It was set to max when I checked it so I turned it down some. It helped with the hot battery.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected to see - you're running into the bug that I described.
The only surefire way I know of to avoid this completely with no other side effects is, well, to not give the media scanner service any files to get hung up on, i.e. to not have any media files on your external SD card.
There are a couple of other suggested fixes I've seen around - such as clearing cached data for the Media Storage app or using Titanium Backup to freeze the Media Storage app - but those either don't tend to stick or cause other side effects.
Sadly, I don't think there's much else you can do.

Battery Life Issues

Scenario:
Yes, yes, I know. Battery life issues. This is a common problem, noticeably on the Samsung Galaxy S3. However, I've taken a look at MANY MANY threads concerning this common and irritating issue. I always ensure that my data is off, wifi is off, airplane mode is enabled, power saving mode is on, sync is off, brightness is at low, etc. I've even gone to the running services section and manually stopped unnecessary processes. However, my battery life is still terrible. I've tried different roms, different kernels, and eventually found myself back at the stock rom and kernel (best stability). I've debloated my device. I even downloaded a bunch of useless battery saving apps that don't do much apart from the obvious. Is there anything I can do? I will be putting up screenshots of my battery stats.
Usage;
I am a typical user when it comes to smartphones. I browse through xda forums, watch some youtube videos, browse the internet, play a few games, and soon enough the battery begins to plummet. I've noticed at times that the phone gets hot. I have a general knowledge of the things that drain my battery the most. After looking at the battery stats section that comes with phone, it says that Android system, media, and screen use the most battery. Whats the point of having a smartphone if you have to tweak almost everything just to allow your phone to last one day?
I am thinking that there are certain background processes that are dramatically draining my battery. I don't have many apps installed, because I am always flashing roms. I've wiped media storage data, by the way. Some apps that I have installed are the xda developers app, dolphin browser, rescan media root, root browser, rom manager, DS Battery Saver, and lux dash.
Extra: I've debloated (still some left over garbage stock apps leftover but not much, and does it actually help?), I've installed lux lite and lowered my brightness to the point where you can barely see the screen, and I've also downloaded rescan media root and disabled media scan (I heard it has some effect).
If you have any suggestions, please post them. Thanks for reading my thread.

TL;DR all the way since there is no numbers. We need numbers and better yet wakelocks. The info you state sounds like normal usage that should get about 2-3 hours screen on time, and 16 hours or so day usage. You say you turn off data, and wifi, and put on airplane mode, and stuff and yet you use the phone normally?? Either way give us screen on time and the main users, and the graph.
Furthermore, no need for duplicate threads....

Should I just leave it overnight and then post bbs log tomorrow?
Btw, should I install ktweaker so that I can set governor to conservative and also tweak some settings or should I leave it alone?
Also if you really want reliable results, either run the tests on the primary rom you will be using or run on stock rooted. Dont debloat because it can be very easy to remove something that could impact performance. You can do that after running your tests and gathering data. The further down you run your battery, the more reliable the data btw.
This hasn't been much of an issue since JB came out, but if the media scanner is using a large amount of power delete all your media content from both internal and external sd cards. Clear data on media storage (factory reset preferred) and run a day w/o the media on your device.
As stated above though, BBS screenshots are needed for further help.

Charge it up before you go to sleep. Unplug the phone, turn off the display, and let it sit idle while you sleep for at least 4 hours. When you wake up, open BetterBatteryStats, and press the share button on the top right. Dump to txt file and post it here.
If you give BBS root access, and set it to show alarms (in the advanced settings), that can be helpful also. It's better if you can do this, actually. Then run your test.

I left it on overnight, battery only drained like 4% so I don't think its a problem when its in idle. As of now I am testing how long my battery will last with moderate usage. I'm hoping it will last at least 24h its been 10h and its at 79%. Its that good? I've mostly been listening to music, I haven't opened any apps. Only problem is whenever I am on xda or playing a game, the battery seems to drain like 1% every 5-10 min. Is this normal?

Most of the battery "tweaks" in use by custom ROMs are in there. And I was running stock deodexed before S3Rx and ultimately Dandroid. Battery is always good as long as I run LJC firmware.

Just took a quick look at it, looks pretty complicated for me. What exactly is the difference between deodexed and odexed anyways? I've heard of both of them but never really understood what they were. Which firmware do you run on currently?
For the firmware are you referring to the 4.1.1 JB firmware T999_UVDLJC?
