Battery life is good on my phone but I've noticed that something called "media server" app is eating much more battery than the screen.
Is this normal ?

Media server app eating battery
- Thread starter michaelopolis
- Start date
I had the same problem. you can restart your phone to see if it stops the drain. also check for corrupted media files. for me it was snapchat that was causing the problem. every time would open it up. media server would start again. hopefully that was the only cause for me.

Snapchat MediaServer Issue
I am having the same problem, snapchat causes media server to consume battery, any fix available? (other than uninstallin
The problem in detail
Once a snapchat is received media server starts to "keep awake". This is stopped by deleting the snapchat cache and restarting the phone (until a new snap is recieved ). The snap chat cache folder is in the android directory and therefore subject to a .nomedia file, furthermore even adding a nomedia file to the cache folder does not correct the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I don't have snapchat installed but I've tried uninstalling viber and doggcatcher ,,, Will give the phone a few hours use to try and rule out these apps . Is it possible it could be Google search app?

Can you try to uninstall the latest updates to "Google search" , there's a new function there that's constantly listening for speech command.
It's either that or viber in my case.

I just lost patience and did a reset on my Moto G. Now I will install the applications gradually and take care of the problem if the media server does not return.
I have the same problem. I have just cleaned the data of Media Storage app, hope it works.
qcamera2factory might be the culprit
Hi guys,
as mentioned in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545970
a program called qcamera2factory might be causing this. It shows up as media server in the battery settings (maybe because it calls the media server all the time). This would also explain why snapchat is causing the battery drain, as it is a camera app.
Using Better Battery Stats, it shows that qcamera2factory is clearly keeping my phone from going to deep sleep.
Ideas, anyone?

Today the problem happened again and I had to just wipe the data from the Media Storage app. To find you need to go to settings, applications, and slide to the All tab.
I had the same problem from time to time. I freezed Moto Cam and Gallery, used Snap Camera instead, until now no more wakelocks. But I don't know if this is really the cause, will see.
As this isn't a Motorola problem, I doubt this will help

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ToySJ0v.png1this issue is not directly related to Skype, but to any app using the camera
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app1As mentioned here, I removed my latest version Skype and installed the older version. Now the media server has stopped eating my battery.
I observed a strange thing. Even when I keep my WiFi turned off, when I check the battery usage history details, it shows as if I had my WiFi turned ON all the time. Is anyone else facing this issue? or am I doing something wrong?
