).media server app eating battery
just got my moto g. not running skype, or snapchat or anything really. no music, don't have an sd card. and media server app is sucking my battery dry.
any help is greatly appreciated. i haven't even really gotten a chance to use the phone yet. just charged it up and it's sitting on my desk, draining battery.

As 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?

In my case the culprit was Migrate app
I didn't have skype. I tried rescanning media files(through rescan app) yet the problem persisted. There was huge battery drain due to mediaserver. This was traced to media files sitting in 'emulated' folder after transferring media files from my old phone to G using Migrate app. Factory reset and using windows pc for file transfer into phones Music folder solved the problem. I now have over 2 GB of mp3 files, 200 MB of pics and videos. No problem. Battery lasts very well.

Multiple solutions are listed, just read the thread. If You have rooted device, remove it.

Downgrade SkyPe, use some app, for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org&hl=en or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en and try to find out which app contains that wakelock.
It seems built in default Camera.app, so You may try fist disable Camera.app some activities, or use some alternative Camera app.
For me it was Skype too but the slightly odd thing was that i force stopped it and then uninstalled it and it was still doing it until i rebooted. What an utter waste of a night stopping maybe 50 processes, then checking and deleting all media files etc before finding this page. Anyway thanks to the explorers that went bravely before me for the answer.
Possible parcial solution

11I have the same problem. I have just cleaned the data of Media Storage app, hope it works.1qcamera2factory 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?
