Re: Sprint HTC One (M7) Lollipop 5.0.1 Update. Praises, Complaints, Bugs & Discussion Is it possible to add a panel and a widget to the lock screen after the update? I had a widget on a lock screen panel before the update, but I can't figure out how to add a panel and a widget to the lock...

Re: Sprint HTC One (M7) Lollipop 5.0.1 Update. Praises, Complaints, Bugs & Discussion I am having the same issue at work. Even after I sign into the Wi-Fi (by entering the password), this screen keeps reappearing. Although it appears I am connected to the Wi-Fi network, I cannot sync my...

Thanks for the info. My battery is typically very good. Like yours, I typically only get a 1% battery decrease overnight. However, at times, there seems to be a process (i.e., MediaServer) started on my phone. The MediaServer seems to run in some kind of endless loop, which I can only stop...

Thanks for the info. I'll try your suggestions.

Thanks for the quick response. I first noticed the battery drain about 1 week after updating to 4.4.2. At first, a restart didn't solve it. Instead, I had to do a battery recalibration. Now, after removing some apps and disabling some others, the battery drain only occurs about once a week...

I haven't used either the camera or Skype. Is that all Google said could be causing battery drain in 4.4.2? Also, where would I go to see Android bugs confirmed by Google? Thank you

See my post from this morning at http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-4-4-kitkat/415496-battery-drain-after-receiving-voicemails.html regarding battery drain I have experienced after Android 4.4.2. For me, it seems the battery drain occurs after I receive a voice-mail message that I do not...

For about a week after receiving the Android 4.4.2 update on my Sprint HTC One (M7) phone, my phone battery was great. Then, I noticed a battery drain. GSam Battery Monitor showed "MediaServer" was using the power. I called HTC and Sprint several times. They had me restart the phone, do a...

I hope uninstalling the app resolved your issue and you continue to have good battery life.

MediaServer doesn't show up in either the phone's app list or the phone's usage list under the power menu. I installed GSam Battery Monitor app. After installing that app, it will monitor battery usage--you can let it run a while before opening the app. After opening GSam on your phone, touch...

Although I didn't mention it before (I felt my post was getting too long and detailed), I believe you are correct that this is linked to the "mediaserver" process draining the battery. Ever since I replaced the .mp3 file, the mediaserver process is using negligible power.

For me, I think it was the ringtone I had selected for receiving telephone calls. It took me about a month of researching on the internet to figure out what was causing the problem. Someone else on the internet pointed out their battery started draining after receiving a call they didn't...

I had my phone about a year with no battery issues--I actually had great battery life. About a week after updating my phone to the latest version of Android, I started having major battery drain. It turns out, I think it was caused by a corrupt .mp3 file I used for a ringtone. I installed the...

I have had my phone about a year with no battery issues. About one-month ago, I started having major battery drain. GSam shows it is MediaServer causing the problem. The only way I can stop MediaServer is by recalibrating the battery. After recalibrating the battery, the drain issue (and the...

I started having significant battery drain about a week after installing the update. I use GSAM Battery Monitor, which shows MediaServer is using a lot of my battery. Anyone know what that is? I called HTC a couple weeks ago, and they had me recalibrate the battery. Later, I wiped the cache...
