I have searched a few times for a resolution to this problem, but have been unable to find one that works. I have noticed that when the media server shows up under my battery stats screen I usually have an update waiting on play store.

Is there any way play store could be the cause?

In other posts I see people complaining of 10-20% battery consumption. Mine has hit up to ~70% battery consumption.

Turn your data off when you're not using it. But most likely it's an app causing a wakelock.

Turning off data did not help, but the cause you mentioned is probably correct.

Ok this may be a dead question, but something I would like to add. For the past two days I have not seen the media server in my battery stats. This is a shot of what I saw this evening. Which this is what I think my battery page should look like. I have not made any changes that would explain why it's not showing up. Any ideas or comments appreciated.

Not today, not sure about yesterday. This is not the only time it has not shown up for a few days. I also have not had any app updates. I think it's like bilgerryan stated that something is causing a wake lock but I close out apps when I finish. And usually use avg task killer to kill most running tasks.
