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

[gbmolina]

none of this worked

None of the above mentioned "methods" worked on my Samsung Galaxy S5, I have never had yahoo messenger installed, removed skype, force stopped Viber, none of it helped. This started some days ago and I did not update my OS (I'm rooted, so OTA does not work for me).

Seems to have worked for me

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 looked and found 4 0 length .jpg in viber folder. Deleted them and seems to be OK now, several hours so far.

I found 3 and 1 ".nomedia" file.. Erased them all.. It's gone up 5 seconds over the last 10 minutes. Maybe it goes up tiny bits like that with general use from apps requesting it upon start up.

To update again, since erasing the files mentioned above I have not experienced this problem once! My battery is back to it's wonderful self. Thanks Cina!

Hi!

Good to know that and your welcome. But I did not say to erase .nomedia files (they are there to exclude its folder from media search) only I proposed to search and destroy zero length picture (jpg, PNG, tif, etc...) files.

Apart from that I noticed that turning off intelligent screen lock (which watches your face through front camera to postpone screen dimming and consecutive lock if you are reading the screen) it decreases the number of events of high cpu usage caused by mmq-camera-daemon. Try even that.

"It's a cookbook!! It's a cookbook!!"

I heard that Google created the bug in order to force users to install a system update that has received a lot of complaints. So many people were complaining about Google's latest system update (adding more advertisements, draining battery life, defaulting paid apps to turn on) that they were turning off their auto update. Google couldn't allow that, so they created this bug where the only fix is to install their update or the alternative is a phone that drains battery so fast that the phone overheats. Proof: If this bug were created by anyone outside of Google, the first thing they would have done was identify the culprit and told users not to download the app. Instead, the fix they are pushing is a factory reset, to again force out their latest system upgrade, as well as to reinstall all those nuisance pre-installed apps that everyone immediately deletes.

PS. Google it if you don't get the title reference.
