    Default 'Media Server' draining my battery!

    Hey guys,

    When I woke up this morning, I checked my phone (100% charge) and took it off charge and turned the screen off. I checked again 2 hours later, my battery was down to 60%! 'Media Server' is taking up 74% of my battery drainage. I googled the issue and people are talking about music and videos on the phone causing issues - but I don't have any music or videos on my phone. Google play music sync is also off.

    Yesterday I played a few games (Temple Run, Jetpack Joyride and Pou... yeah, judge me, I love pou) pre-charge but that's about it. I'm not convinced it's the apps causing the drainage because I've googled every app I downloaded next to 'battery' (I know, such intense research) and no result suggests any of those apps should cause such huge battery drainage.I've stopped all multitasking now so I guess that might have been the issue, but anyone else know what the issue could be aside from that?

    Any one else having this issue?

    Edit: Now installing 4.2.2. That might fix it!

    For what it's worth - I haven't had any weird horror sessions with media server since the 4.2.2 update. So far so good.

    Do you have any pictures or videos in your gallery? If there is a bad one in there then the chew up battery. If all else fails then factory reset. And hope your not using a task killer app

    I got the app 'Pou' yesterday. And the same thing happened to me.. It was on 60 percent one minute, I looked at it a few hours later and it was dead.
    I would have to say that Pou is the answer.. though I haven't tried any of the other games
