I did a search and found one or two threads with a few suggestions but all went cold after a few pages...I have followed those threads suggestions and have reformatted my internal and external SD cards along with a factory data reset with no avail. I'll attach a screenshot...thanks xda'ers for any help you can offer.

Got any apps that would keep using Media service? When you force stop it does it come back again?
Yeah it does but I can't figure out which app would be the cause...been monitoring with better battery stats and doesn't list a contributor. Uninstalled music hub with titanium backup and I don't use Google music...can't seem to lock down the cause.

You use stock browser?
You could try Avast Mobile Security. It has a feature called Network Meter that shows each apps MiB usage. Good luck!
I use Next launcher...thanks for the input guys I'll keep ya posted

Avast was informative but only listed the same results as battery in settings...didn't specify. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Which release of stock rooted are you on?

Yeah I've been trying to figure out if that's the case but I keep sync off and mostly just watch movies I've put on my ext sd card..maybe my sd card is the problem?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What size is your sd card? I had this happen with a 32 gb one time. Switched to 16 and all has been fine. It also might be a corrupt file on the sd if it is the sd.

Yeah I've got a 32 gb, have had it in this thing since I got it when the note 2 came out...haven't had any issues until recently. I did notice when I popped it out overnight then put it back in today the media scanner went nuts for a while (the pic I attached)

this ^^^ may be your issue. a corrupt image,music,video file somewhere on your sd. a lot of ppl say to back up everything on yer sd card to a pc, and then reformat, then add back the contents. i know that stopped it for some. otherwise youll have to figure out what file is corrupted.
when i had a corrupted file, it was a picture that had about 80% of the image on it and the other 20% was just grey. (yep that was corrupted) so i deleted it..
this wonderful app also stops your 'media' process/scanner. you can disable it and enable it and it worked wonders for me in the past, but now CarbonRom has a media scanner toggle built in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot please read description and use at your own risk.. like maybe make a nand first.
just an FYI, the service that gets very high when youre listening to lots of music is 'mediaserver' - which is not related to the 'media' process
Thanks to everyone for all of your input! You guys have been a huge help knocking this little annoyance out!!

Yeah sounds like you're having issues with the external SD. Mediascannerservice is what scans for media on SD cards. I've had that issue before and it was a pita! Reformatted and everything was fine till I added all my files then it returned. One of the files (a movie) was no good. It got corrupted and would still play so I never thought anything of it till I tried *watching* the whole movie one day and it cut off with an unsupported message at like 40 mins through. Once I deleted that and rebooted never had the issue again.

I'm thinking that's exactly my problem...I've reformatted it twice but still puts media scanner in overdrive. I've weeded out all the movies I'm bored with and only left a few..today it's a little better but still kept cpu awake running for ten min. Thanks for your input!

I've had the same issue with the stock SD card. It didn't happen until after I rooted and flashed MIUI. Can't imagine that has anything to do with it. I keep a constant back up of any new picture I take on my computer. It hasn't happened recently though. (Knock on wood)
I'm just saying it is obviously an issue, but not necessarily with YOUR sd card or the fact that its a 16gig. Weird stuff.
Haha yea I know I did flash miui to :\
I'm hoping its a bug I don't want to get another SD card to much time to put everything back in it

can someone please try and help me figure out my situation?
Problem: everytime i flash an AOSP based ROM, my pictures will not show up in google gallery(they show up in quickpic) and my music will not show in any music player ive tried.
Ive searched the whole file system for .nomedia files, there isnt one on the root of the storage.
can anyone help me resolve this?
Bump. I have more info, when I plug Into the computer, I can't access the ext SD card and only a handful of the folders in my phone show up like Music, Pictures...
Does this help??
Oh I have found a work around with a folder player apk...

Damn dude, sorry, but I stayed away from AOSP for several reasons, and the mixed up mount points drove me crazy. I dont think I ever got it workng 100%. Didnt really try maybe, I missed TW.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Thanks! At least I got some feed back. I ended up fixing it. But it took all day. I had to Odin back to stock, re root. Then format the phones SD card and the external SD card. Now she works beautifully!

I am having trouble downloading apps and I keep getting "insufficient storage" but my system storage is 87% full with 500mb left and SD 96% with 450mb left. What are some options I could uss to get more room.

This may not be it but if you use lucky patcher then that could be the prob.
Open lucky patcher and try installing app again.

Ok your issue may be non root related.figured id try to help, sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
You've probably already done this but:
Check for pictures, downloads, music, etc on the phone storage. If you have the stupid Need for Speed game that came with the phone go into app manager delete the data and freeze the app. It's friggan huge at a 1.75gbs... And it's not even the full game. Lastly if you're rooted try to search the method that people are using to do the app to SD trick.
It's sucks cause all my downloads from chrome go to phone storage. It's a pain in the butt because you can't change the setting.
Hopefully something helps.

So I can't get this to work. ... anyone know why? Something about storage emulator. ...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I have to ask.. why? My GN2 shows that I have 9.3 GB free... I understand the need for this on the older devices like the OG EVO where int storage was scarce but on our kind of devices with so much memory... what is the point?
Really? It's pretty common knowledge that Google removed that functionality from Jelly Bean.

works great
i bought a 64gb class 10 sdcard and followed that video (can't put links yet) but someone posted the link in this thread and it's working great.
I did have some trouble moving the apps, but i am a noob with android, I just uninstalled it all and re-downloaded them on playstore (couldn't figureout titanium pro) it downloaded on the new 64gb, all the apps run great i didn't notice any lag at all, everything seems to be downloading to the 64gb I'm HAPPY!
Well I stand corrected.

I also like to have the option and I am glad to see that it can be done.
I got a 64gig card as well, and really don't see the point using apps2sd anymore. 10gb free on the phone is a lot of apps, but I'm also a pretty light user compared to most.
Unfortunately, running you SD card as internal memory puts a tremendous amount of strain on the card. There's a high chance of corruption at some point in time, then you're screwed. I prefer something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

If you pull the card will it automatically swap to internal?

First of all sorry if this issue has already been addressed, I looked around could not find much on this issue, anyways I have been running deathstalker s3 for a while, I decided to try deathstalker s4 , it installed okay but the phone kept force closing any system app I tried to run , I reverted back to deathstalker s3 and my phone constantly displays low storage and says 330mb of free space, but in the settings > storage, it displays a lot of free space in the bar graph but none of it is useable, once again sorry if this has already been asked, any suggestions in the right direction would be helpful

Do you have any nandroid backup stored on the phone? Those take up lots of spaces. If not you might need to do a format as suggested.
