"mm-qcamera-daemon" Battery Drain in Note 3

[Limeybastard]

Nexus 5 with same problem. Did a full factory reset yesterday and the problem came back today (i think when I tried to use a flashlight app). For me it started a few days ago and I have uninstalled all camera apps except the stock app in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. Seems like folks are trying about anything but no clear cause/solution has emerged.

Did you go to camera app and follow above method ?

In my case one of the following maybe cause the issue:
- OneDrive
- DropBox
- UbuntuOne

Stop blaming third party apps, it doesn't have to be with any third party app, all people are experiencing with different apps and all people are saying
"ohh I figured out I believe that ...... app caused the problem" It's not that. it is an android OS problem that many of us are experiencing this issue now.

Hope that someone will fix it asap.

I don't blame anyone, I just told what happened in my case!
Since we don't have formal answer, could be anything!

Smart stay and similar disabled and no difference. Dont have any yahoo apps that i know off. Think just have to wait for 4.4 or patch as must be a google issue due to the amount of different devices with same problem

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.

Nexus 5 running cm11 with the same issue. I've had it for weeks but didn't think anything of it.

Clean master and snapchat have also caused this... What do all these apps have in common that cause this?

mmq-camera-daemon

The problem doesn't have to do with any particular app. Its an Android bug
The only thing all those apps have in common is that they use the camera. Iva had this problem too just from opening the camera from android. The camera failed to initialize, and as a result, that process stayed open, killing the battery.

It seems it's and known problem on nexus 5 as well.

Issue 60058:mm-qcamera-daemon cpu usage

Thanks, everyone, for reporting about this problem.

We believe we have fixes for the current high CPU reports on N5 due to mm-qcamera-daemon, and they will be included in the next maintenance update. At this point, we don't need more reports of the problem, with some exceptions I'll detail below.

More details:

We've had scattered reports of persistent high CPU usage of mm-qcamera-daemon since our last maintenance update, and based on those, found a number of bugs that were then fixed.

More recently, there's been a significant increase in the frequency of reported problems. These may be related to a recent update to Skype, which seems to access the camera regularly from its background service in some way that triggers this bug (note, we don't currently believe there's a bug in Skype itself). Investigating this, we've identified a few additional fixes that we hope resolve this issue for good. However, since the high CPU usage is an intermittent problem, we're continuing to test our fixes to verify the problems are gone.

Unfortunately, I can't provide an estimate for when the maintenance update will be ready, due to all the testing we need to do for this and other fixes. Until then, rebooting the phone is the only way to stop the high CPU usage/lack of camera function once it starts.

Uninstalling Skype may substantially reduce the likelihood of this bug appearing, but I realize Skype is a very important application for many people. Other camera-using applications may trigger this bug as well, but that's been relatively rare. Most applications also do not access the camera when not in the foreground, so they will only trigger issues when actively used.

I'd also like to note that instances of high CPU use of mm-qcamera-daemon on other devices besides the N5 need to be reported to their manufacturers - while those devices also use a Qualcomm chip for their camera processing (and thus have a mm-qcamera-daemon process), each has differences in their software and issues with them do not necessarily mean the N5 has the same problem, and vice versa.

If you are seeing high CPU use of mm-qcamera-daemon, and you have not used the camera at all, or installed an application like Skype that has a background service that accesses the camera (typically, applications that provide video chat may do this), we would like to know about it.

Otherwise, for Skype and other typical camera applications, we believe we have fixes identified, and you don't need to add more information to this bug - remember, any note added here will send updates to dozens of people.
Status: FutureRelease


Please open a new bug with a description, and if possible, system logs and/or an Android bugreport captured when you see high battery use.

Yeah but according to the article Google's fix will only be applied to the Nexus 5 and not Samsung phones.
