It has camera in the name so that may be a hint. Do you have any apps that use the camera? Try rebooting or factory resetting the phone.

The same is happening to me... I have the same exact apps I had on my Note II & GS 4 as I now have on my Note 3, and I had never seen this process let alone seeing it drain the battery...

Thanks, rasel800. After I posted here last night, I too noticed the Yahoo Voice & Audio Plugin was running & even though I have had it forever I figured it shouldn't be running at the moment. It was the only thing I could think of that may have been contributing, so went ahead and uninstalled. Sure enough the problem went away. Now seeing your post confirms that which is great. Thank you!

Mm-qcamera-deamon process...

This is what I think about (mm-qcamera-deamon), i have some 3 days with my note 3(Verizon wireless) the 2 first days everything works well but for any reason yesterday (mm-qcamera-deamon) drain my battery 60% maybe on 3 hours, i read some comments about the yahoo plug in, and
I uninstall it, but the (mm-....) follow drain my battery, the last app installed before this problem is "xda premium":crying:, i don't know why the app is not working for me on my nexus 10,and now note 3, the relation between (xda app and mm-qcamera-deamon) is because I try change the picture on my perfil from xda app, but picture never change....... Now... i don't want say the xda app is the problem, i think any app when used the camera or gallery can make mistakes and follow try make the task. And is why the device is hot and the battery is down........ Just i hope can you understand this message my English y pour but i try, :good:

Pd. The xpd premium is not working for me.. Any idea?

I'm having the same issue. Mine started after I downloaded liteflow, of all things. Uninstalled, but noticed the daemon showed as running every time I start the camera, but stops when I turn it on. I'm hopeful it's normal now, but I'm skeptical. Nothing online or in this forum has shown a solution, so I'm really worried! Help!

Once I uninstalled the Yahoo! Messenger's voice/video plugin, this went away...

I have uninstalled the plugin and Yahoo messenger all together and the process contunies to run after several reboots. I have even uninstalled a few apps that were installed recently just to test. Any other ideas out there? The phone was fine for the first week and now this process is killing me.

Edit The issue did in fact stem from the Yahoo plug-in associated with Yahoo Messenger.

*After several hours the process was gone and the battery usage was back to normal.

I just now started having this issue after i used Kingo to root my phone. but it wasnt until a couple days after that it popped up. i installed the xda app and changed over to a new SD card. could any of these trigger this behavior??

Same here. Started after flashing Sabre kernel. Qcamera ate 20 percent battery in one hour. What a mess...

Same problem : I have a galaxy note 3 official ROM MJ7 in France.

I confirm that other app that use the camera can cause the problem.

When the process mm-qcamera-daemon is running, at maximum CPU usage, the battery becomes very hot ! For me, this is the signal to reboot the phone that I have purchased at the price of 750 € !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what this s......?

When this process is sticked, I add that the camera app (official one) doesn't work any more : in french : "L' application Camera s'est arrêtée"

    If you have this issue try to search your phone for zero length image files and delete them. Then restart the device. I've found a 0 lenght jpeg under viber temp folder. I removed it and all worked fine after all.

    I realized something, my Yahoo Messenger Video plugin was crashing and probably causing the battery drain.
    After uninstalling it, issue resolved. Hope it helps...

    Nexus 5 Battery drain

    I had this problem for several days. Shifting to ART, clearing cache, rebooting to safe mode did not help.
    Removed skype and Instagram ,battery drain stopped. you can try removing these apps.
