Is anybody else have mm-qcamera-daemon always running draining the battery? Hell I have even tried killing the task from a shell and it just relaunches under another process.
What's the deal?

I had this issue as well. I had to uninstall Instagram as that was the root cause of my problems. mm-qcamera-daemon is related to your camera and can cause massive battery drain. If you don't have Instagram installed, look for other apps that utilize the camera as they could be the culprit.

Same problem !
Galaxy became very hot and sometimes reboot if you do a lot of thing during the issue.
I am looking for information about this process.
I think it s happening when I use an app that use camera (not the camera app )...
WHAT is mm-qcamera-daemon ?

It seems like the update fix the battery issue for alot of people except for me. So I just want to ask if anyone with the new update and great battery life uses a twitter app and is on it a good amount of the time like me. Because I think that might be whats draining it because after the update I re-downloaded my apps but didn't set them up and I didnt have no drain in the morning,then I set up weather bug (which besides touiteur is the only app running in my background) and got some drain and decided to stop it from running in the background and removed the widget and the drain stopped. So I just want to know if someone has twitter running background updates and still gets good battery life because not being notified about my tweets will be kinda annoying.
*can you remove this thread, I wasn't paying attention and put it in the wrong section by accident*

So u using Touiteur for Twitter ? From my own experience i can confirm that it drains Battery a LOT. Even when i switch off the Background updates it still drains. I use Seesmic and the Problem seems to be gone.

I use Touiteur on my X10 and it doesn't really seem to have that large of an effect on the battery life.
I have gone through countless battery reconditions, following various methods, very tediously, various roms (nero, bionix, trigger, etc.) trying to get acceptable battery life. After a lot of detective work I finally pinned down the problem to the 'mediaserver' process within the system processes. It runs CONSTANTLY and drains the batter within half a day from a full charge. This problem has been documented on google code: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6765
The process cannot be killed via any task manager as it seems to be a sub-process. So I finally mustered the courage to move the file from its directory into the parent directory to see if that would do the trick and restarted.
Now I'm stuck on the boot screen.
Can someone please help find a solution for this issue? I think I can recover from the boot screen issue but I know I will just encounter the same issue again and again.
I am currently on trigger 2.6.1.
Help?
I should also ask if it is possible to even ODIN back to stock from a ROM that has the voodoo fix enabled?
Just odin back, root, flash a rom, freeze the app with titanium backup.
Edit, n/m, just realized you weren't talking about an app. I'll read the link you posted.
I'm on trigger 2.6.1, no issues here. You sure it's not a bad app man?
As far as I can tell, no. It certainly could be but the I've been having battery issues since bionix 3 I think.
However I did read on that google link that certain media centric apps can cause it to go nuts. I am using the winamp beta app and youtube pretty heavily (although thats obviously unlikely to be the culprit).
I thought about freezing it but ya, its a sub process under the 'system processes'...process so I can't freeze it without taking down the whole thing and probably causing way more issues.
Thanks for the response though, appreciated.
Dude, winamp and youtube are going to use a lot of power.. How long is a full charge for you?
About 8 hours. I pull it off the charger at 7:30am, use winamp for music for about 1 - 1.5 hours and other moderate use. Dead by the time I leave work at 5. Get home, charge it up until I hit the gym (usually get it to roughly 50%) and listen to music, watch a couple videos and its begging for the charger by the time I get home.
Furthermore, I use the system panel app to find out exactly what is eating CPU cycles. That 'mediaprocess' thing is exponentially above everything else. So either a bad app is causing it to run and keep it running or something else is triggering it. I formatted both SD Cards per some of the suggestions elsewhere, but no dice.
seems like your getting normal battery life.
heavy usage on your phone will eat up the battery. especially watching videos.
So what do I make of the mediaserver process that is using up 40-50% of the battery? Watching videos, listening to music or not, I get the same results. I really don't think its that.
Are you sure you're completely killing the apps when you're not using them? Use the task manager and be sure the app is not running. Otherwise, be sure to freeze media hub and the DRM storage with TB. It should help with drain while the phone is on standby.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ya I'm sure. I don't even have mediahub installed on the phone however I am going to try freezing / removing the DRM storage thing.
Mediaserver constantly running is the reasons the battery drains. I didn't know if anyone has any solution as to how to kill it, or how to keep it from running continuously. This is a known bug as shown in the link in OP.
I'm guessing everytime I open up winamp or something it starts, then never stops after that. Who knows.

Do you have allshare installed?
running Trigger 2.6
W/ dragon kernel uv/oc to 1.28
and Adw launcher ex
No sir. I've deleted pretty much anything DRM, Mediahub or Allshare related. Most of it is already removed with Trigger (ROM I'm using right now) and I removed a couple more services / apps in the quest for better battery life.
Hey,
When I had JB i intalled a modded build.prop from a user here, and I got extremely good results. Now I changed to CM11 with my Xperia Sola and I noticed how my battery wasn't as good as before... Is there any solution to improve my battery with Xposed modules, apps, or anything else? I know that you shouldn't be running apps in the background etc.

It's really hard to just make a blanket statement like, "Yea, this mod/tweak/app/etc will definitely help you get battery life." If it were, then so many people wouldn't be on here looking for solutions. No 2 phones are gonna get the same kind of battery life for a ton of different reasons. Sometimes it's the kernel, sometimes it's apps that sync too much, sometimes location services get out of hand, sometimes the radio version doesn't mix well with the update you are on or the area you are in, maybe some 3rd party apps don't play nice with others, and so on and so forth. Best thing to do is run some apps that might help pinpoint what is keeping the phone awake (wakelocks). Better Battery Stats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 , Wakelock Detector http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179651 , GSAM Battery Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en or something along those lines. Once you figure out what is causing it, then you can start to look for solutions. Good luck!
I got a new LG G5 (international variant) and I have been experiencing freezing for 2 seconds on any screen and in any app. Any suggestions?
Maybe do a reset ?

I did a factory reset and still problem persists, it is software related I guess
Check for an update, clean cache, if doesn't work then replace it My G5 is Simply BLAZING FAST 3 months without one single hiccup,lag or freezing
I am also experiencing this. Don't know what caused it but I also believe it's software related. Do you have greenify installed?

It is like a hiccup in the software, otherwise the phone is fast. Should I install greenify? I have done a factory reset and also cleared the cache. It is very annoying actually
Is anyone else experiencing this?
What variant?(H860N , H850)

I am using the H860. It seems to be fixed as I downloaded the LG bridge and it detected that there is a new software update of 2.25 GB which wasn't detected by OTA. So far the phone is super smooth without any lags or hiccups. Will continue trying and update the thread if anything occurs

No, I thought it maybe had something to do with greenify. But if you experience the same and you don't have greenify installed... My model is h850 with the latest software V10e. Not unlocked, just disabled some LG apps. For me, the system gets unresponsive for some seconds and then everything is back to normal. I think it also does the action what you do on the screen while being unresponsive. As you said, it is like a hiccup.

Sounds like a memory addressing issue, whether caused by the software or perhaps defective RAM modules.. I used to get problems like that in Windows operating systems when I'd overclock memory to unstable levels, similarly the same was possible from some IRQ conflicts (software). I know that is different from Android but I would assume there are similar forces at play.

What would you do? Reset? Or is there any app that can check ram failures?

I'm not aware of an app for Android that can do a real memory stress test (like Prime95 does for x86/ Windows OS). There's Kernel Auditor which could give you an idea of the governor settings and I/O schedulers that your kernel is using (a possible software culprit) and let you make some adjusts to see if it resolves the hiccups, but I'm afraid that will do you no good if you don't have root.
At op. Did you by any chance activate the force GPU rendering? I turned mine of yesterday and so far, no hiccups. But we'll see, I did not test it that long.
So far after the update no hiccups or lags and the phone is working perfectly. I have attached the version of the software
For me it was the Force GPU Rendering option in Developer settings.
Hi. I have a A21s model A217M, and I've been running into issues with it for a while. The phone randomly reboots when doing light multitasking, such as switching between my browser and WhatsApp. I've already done the usual procedure, such as doing a factory reset and reflashing the stock ROM with Odin, with no sucess. Anyone here has faced the same issue, and got rid of it? Thanks in advance.
Which apps specifically or is it with any app?
The problem maybe be the app. I would never install any social media apps... browser access only.
This is very atypical behavior for a Samsung... at least it use to be.
Any app, basically. It's really odd indeed.

You already reflashed it. May be a hardware failure.
I would say it is a quite recent issue. I checked my last dmesgs and they seem to pinpoint to a memory allocation failure.

I was facing the exact same issue for months and I even reinstalled firmware, no luck but I turned off animations through accessibility settings and voila It's fixed
