So last night my battery was depleted to 0%. When I charged it and turned back on all my sounds, ring tones and notification sounds reset to default. Is this because I keep my tones on the external sd?

Maybe.
Could be when battery got low enough, it turned off SD card as a way to save energy. That would have defaulted to local ringtones.
Or maybe something just got corrupted.
Our phones can get sometimes VERY flaky when battery is under 5% (in my experience).
Who really knows though. The important question is... does it work now?
Yep seems to be fine now. I agree it probably stopped the sd reader when battery died. Just checking to see if anyone else experienced this.

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.
Recently my Galaxy Note 2 has started giving me battery trouble. Till about 10 days ago it used to give me approximately 18-20 hrs battery life on moderate use. Now for some reason i get only 8-9 hrs max without any usage. It just shows a high usage of media and the phone never goes to sleep mode. After reading a few threads i tried the following:
> I removed the external sd card and wiped it.
Result: The phone was back to normal without the external sd card. As soon as i put it back. It kept rescanning for no reason. Even though there was nothing on it. I know for a fact that the sd card isnt spoilt or even non compatible, as it was working fine for so many months. It works fine on my other phones too.
I'm attaching the log file of Better battery stats app as i was told it would be useful in answering my query. Could someone please solve this problem for me. Thanks in advance.
Media scan bug is pretty common on jelly bean. Unfortunately the only fix I have been using is using mediascan root from play store. If you are rooted then download media scan root.
Only side effect is that if you have a new media file.. You need to re enable it. But all it takes is just a click and a reboot.
Check it out and I'm sure itll fix the media scan bug.

It might be a corrupt MP3 on the card. Happened to me, even though the music played OK. I ran MP3 validator (Windows app) and it fixed it.

Note II 16GB, stock ROM, not rooted.
I had exactly the same problem - overnight my battery life dropped from 2 days to less than 12 hrs. Mounting the SD card on my pc a msg popped up that the card was corrupt, I ran the scan and fix, put the card back in the phone and it's working perfectly again. I was very surprised but not unhappy.
This is the second card, the first (Kingston 32GB) was killed after just 8 months, 4 months later the replacement card was corrupted. All the other Kingston cards I've bought for myself and my family work perfectly, some are many years old. Could it be a Samsung problem? After using SD cards in Windows phones for the last 10 years and finding them very reliable, having one card irreparably damaged and another corrupted on the same phone in 12 months makes me wonder if it's more than a coincidence.
I've been having the media server drain for about 3 weeks now. I've used mp3 checker and removed any bad mp3s I've also tried Drketans media scanner disabler and still have the drain. It's about 10% if my battery per day and about 2 1/2 hours phone awake. Anyone any ideas?

Help. For the past couple weeks, my batterys been complete ****. When I'm using my phone while charging, the battery life is draining. Also charging is super slow. Auto data sync is off, GPS,Bluetooth off, brightness in the middle, light apps. Idk what's wrong. Before, battery would last the whole day, but now id get lucky to even last half the xay. All this started to happen when I installed a 4.2.2 ROM and Odin back to 4.1.1 and restore backup. Idkkk. Oh and I also noticed the battery bar indicator is displaying it wrong. Like its at 49%, but the battery bar is filled 3/4th.

Open a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /data/system and find the file "batterystats.bin"
delete that file. (be sure to change the attributes of the file to read & write - by default it's read only)
The phone will recreate it automatically on next boot.
By doing this the battery bars in the statusbar will reflect the battery condition a lot more accurately.
Also by using the AC wall charger instead of the computer's usb will charge the phone 20% faster.
Good Luck!
Uhhh...I think you answered your own question...problem started when you installed new ROM. Ftlog people just stop rooting your phones and live with factory stock ROM. 99% of all complaints on this forum are due to custom ROMS.

You're funny.
@Chris, from my understanding and personal experience of using custom ROMs the only way that a major problem could occur when moving from custom back to stock (or modified stock) is if either (a) there is an issue with the download itself; or (b) if the person didn't do a wipe (full or dalvik cache) during the install process; or (c) the ROM installed is not built for the person's phone. So don't paint all ROMs with the same brush.

Hi,
Something seems to be draining my battery. I froze QuickRemote apps, it didnt improvement.
Any ideas? This way since i bought it
I turned of sync in the settings. And I described services with the built in task manager. Long press home button then tasks manager. Then hit the menu key. You will see a list of everything with services. I checked almost all of mine then hit OK.. It keeps those spots listed from running background services. Helped My battery life out..

I am also facing the battery drain issue and wifi stuck during browsing or downloading. Stand by time is also not good 7% drain in 7 hour. How can i find the issue is in battery or is hardware problem?
Charge your device up by to 100% and then fully discharge your battery to recalibrate the battery. I'd say try this two times.
Also, one thing weird about this device is, turning on WiFi drains the battery faster than using LTE.

Its probably because of the value pack update. Its modem causes constant wake locks. Going back to the original stock modem will fix that.

Flash the official stock rom fully discharged the battery and charge it to full. Play music use wifi half an hour and medium use. Attaching pics. Is it ok now or ?
So i noticed a couple weird things with my phone lately, hoping some of you guys could help me.
The first one is i had my lock screen on pattern for a couple months but i got the s-view cover so i went to switch to swipe but now i cant change the swipe effect, its stuck at none and cant be selected, when i used to be able to, anyone have any idea how to fix that?
Another problem is the phone seems to be running like ****, it has been slower than usual, and my battery life has gone down from using about 20- 50 % a day to 70-80% a day and i cant figure out why, none of my apps are running exceptionally long but the phone says that it is awake the entire time which is killing the battery. i just checked it it as i was typing this and i noticed after a week, it finally stopped being permanently awake and it seems to be depleting normally, again anyone have any clue?
