How can I know what is draining my battery? I removed large games with alot multiply files, removed 2/3 of my music.
What can cause this? It drains like 10-15% of my battery at each charge.

download betterbatterystat or something similar, it'll tell you every battery usage
if you want free version, might consider look in android apps section, i think there's one or two beta version free to download
btw if it's about mediaserver, do you have extSD card? if you do, might consider reformat it
Are you making backups in recovery? Not sure if you are even rooted. If you are making backups in recovery, make sure you change the file format of these backups to .tar format. The blobs it creates otherwise will creates hundreds if not thousands of files and your media will scan each of those files to see if there is anything for it.
I was having this battery drain.
Go into your music folder and subfolders and delete all files except the actual mp3's (album art, m3u files etc)...
This fixed my issue.

Ok, so my wife has been battling the 'out of space' issue on her droid inc for some time.
Finally, GB comes out for her inc... I think "hey, this was a huge problem, and never really solved, im SURE GB fixed this up"
Flashed the other day, and today she says it showed up again.
What the heck? Come on HTC!!
ALL of her apps are on the SD card, she has it rooted, and uses the stock email app, as well as handcent for txting.
How do i fix this?!?!
Hm, how many apps does she have installed?
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Well before This happened she had about 30-35? now its 20 or so other than the stockers
How large is the sd card?
It may b custom rom time
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Is it me, or have there been a lot of these kinds of problems cropping up? I'm kinda curious what the reason and solution is since I'm probably gonna put my dInc back on Sense sometime.
its the stock 2gb card, but both the card, and her 'sd card' report over 500mb free...
IIWY I'd check directories for usage files and phone dumps that can fill up phone space (700mb) fast — you can't delete the directories (causes some FCs; annoying), but you can delete all the files, then make the directories read-only so they stay empty:
/data/tombstone
/data/system/dropbox
/data/system/usagestats
And def. install/use an app cache cleaner if you haven't already.
There's a program here (search for SD maid) that helps clean up, too. I haven't tried it but I've read about it; looks great.
Clear out or back up and delete old mms messages.

If she's rooted, download NotEnoughSpace. It will give you direct access to the 150 megabyte \data\data partition. Every application and any contacts synced to the Incredible are dumped in there. If less than 10% is free, you'll get a low memory message, and performance will degrade.
NotEnoughSpace lets you relocate stuff out of \data\data and frees up space in that directory.
I also discourage folks from downloading all their Facebook contacts. Completely unnecessary, and all dumped into \data\data anyway.
BTW, with NotEnoughSpace, I recommend moving what can be moved until you get up to about 20% free (i.e. 30megabytes) only to emmc or a NES partition, *not* the cache. You might have to clear the cache and then the info will be missing from the apps.
Looking for some help here. Long time viewer/poster, first time I've had a problem. Perhaps I can find help.
After a music transfer last night, my phone is no longer recognizing the files in my SD card's Music folder. The files can still be located and played through ES File Explorer and other file manager apps, but all my music players (Play Music, Winamp, stock HTC player) do not show them.
Upon searching the forums and the Internet, I have noticed this problem exists across multiple devices, and the solutions are easy to do and seem to work...for everyone except me. Clearing app data/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling, using SDrescan, searching for .nomedia files (none found anywhere), unmounting/remounting, wiping and reflashing my current ROM (DigitalKarma V8)...nothing works, and I am running out of patience. I am close to completely resetting the phone and reformatting the SD card (after backing up, of course...I'm not THAT stupid )
It's likely I may be doing something wrong, but to be safe, I want to see if there is anything I am either missing or overlooking in order to fix this common yet annoying problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah the best step if you've tried everything would just be to reformat your sdcard because it sounds like something broke on that
OH. 1 thing before you do that, make sure that the permissions for your music is set to readable by everyone, hopefully that fixes it

Wait, hold the phone. Using File Manager to search my SD card, I find a whole s***load of .nomedia files. ES File Explorer couldn't find them...guess I found a new file manager lol
Now to delete all those files and try this thing again...wish me luck.
Fixed! Looks like I did miss/overlook something, and deleting those .nomedia files took care of everything. Now that I have my music back (and a new file manager...well, not really new, I've used it occasionally in the past), I can get back to enjoying the piece of classic awesome we call the EVO 4G. Consider this case closed.

That's exactly what you do is delete all those .NO MEDIA files. Also, there's an app called Rescan Media that will work
Hello all! Ive done some research and still am not completely understanding the partition thing. I downloaded an app that was called app2sd (I think that was the name) but it says unable to do so because of a patch that was needed. Can someone explain specifically the process. What is the partition and what about this patch thing? lol sorry but I knew just enough to use the toolkit to root my phone and now id like to benefit from it. Thanks to all who help.
-Paint pb balla-
Well from the research I've done after no replies here. They have resulted in the ultimate answer being is yes you can move apps to SD, BUT it takes a process that I don't think I'd be able to do. You have to "fool" your note 2 into thinking that your SD is your internal memory and I don't want to mess things up. If someone has an easy, easy way to do this please let me know. Until then I will just wait til 4.3 update which hopefully apps to SD will be integrated with that update. The S4 in Germany has it, Shortly others shall follow. Well maybe not shortly but eventually haha.

There's an app called folder mount that works with high data games.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
+1 on FolderMount. It's different from Apps2SD. I suggest installing My Drives. It'll help find the files that are big storage hogs.
The problem is how Android setups up the memory because of the ability to have multiple profiles.
I haven't personally tried it on the GN2, but you could tired the function Convert to System App. Maybe through that you can move an app to the SD card.
Not that they all do, but I find the two biggest storage hogs are games and videos. Videos are easily moved. Well, nandroids are too.
That is what's eating up most my memory is videos and pictures. I eventually change it over to where my pics and vids were stored on my sd card but that was after my internal memory was almost all gone. Im just going to get drop box on my computer and store them there so I can erase them on my phone to free the memory. The only reason I didn't want to do that before is because my cpu is 3 4 years old and slow. so I hate getting on it. Ill just suck it up and do it. Thanks guys.
If you set up a google+ account you can use it the same way as drop box and you can also get picasa Web, the cool thing about them is Thayer all free unlike drop box
Give it a try I think that's the best route and you can upload from your phone.

Thanks ya'll and I've got drop box on my CPU now and it is free...for what I'm using it for anyway.

It's like a new tablet performance and function wise. All of Samsung's apps have been refreshed and the browser is especially impressive. Multi Window and Pen Window now support the same apps meaning you can have apps open side-by-side or floating and resizable. Without any modifications I now have 35 apps available in Multi Window. On 4.4 you can also install Hancom Office, e-Meeting, Remote PC, and Side sync bringing the N10.1-2014 up to "Pro" level. People are reporting better battery life and shorter charging times also. I did a dirty flash using a ROM from a different region so I somehow kept the lock screen widgets (which should be gone) and lost Daynote (which should be there). My battery was funky at first; not charging overnight and draining way too quickly. The former fixed itself and the latter was fixed when I deleted my Exchange accounts, cleared app data, and rebuilt them. I think my battery life is better now; it's certainly no worse. I'm going to do a recovery and rebuild my N10.1-2014 (it takes about six hours ) once the 4.4 ROM for my region is out which should clear up any funkiness.
As for external SD, it is what it is. Apps can still use it (individually) for storage so you can keep big files there. Samsung's apps (My Files, Samsung Link, Gallery, Video, and Music) still have universal read/write access and can manipulate all external SD files. So with 4.4 there's some added manual administration and you have to come up with new ways of doing things but it's not the end of the world. And it's not going to change. So you have two choices - stay on 4.3 forever and miss out on a fantastic update or bite the bullet and root. After just four days using the update I can't imagine going back.

If you are rooted just install "Folder Mount" from play store, run it , it will fix your sd card issues.

Yes, Samsung My Files will work with ext SD but it doesn't allow you to rename filename extensions so you can rename a .apk to like .zip so you can bluetooth it across and then rename it back to .apk

Well, I made the update on the new 108 firmware through Sony PC companion and have now this huge battery drain by this app. Look at the screens. Sorry for them being German, I was too lazy to change to English, I hope you can guess the important parts.
I once stopped the 4 processes of Media through gsam battery monitor, but after a recharge it's staying again active all the time. What can I do to correct this or what could I possibly have done wrong?
Ps: I'm rooted with locked bootloader.

do you have a lot media file like pic, song or video ?
media scan all media file in your internal and sdcard, and if there corrupt file, media app will stuck, this can cause media staying active all time,
or do you sync media file (like photo/video) on google+ or facebook? because if you have a lot media file and sync it, it could make media app stay active
Yes, I have 2500+ songs on the phone. But not many pics and only one big video. But there weren't any problems with the 757 firmware. The active processes are btw the downloads process and download manager. So media scan shouldn't be the problem.
Try to clean cache media app
Did it. I think it's gone now. Thanks!
