Mediaserver battery drain

[Epiczamz]

I got this problem very recently but I've only had the phone for 4 days but I did flash SM-G935U to my SM-G935V I could try reverting back to original firmware to see if that fixes the problem but I really don't want to at this time because the restore process on the s7 edge takes forever even from physical media. Is anyone willing to try?

I've got the dreaded mediaserver battery drain.

The phone is running hot, it's also gone janky and a little less responsive and the battery is being obliterated to the point where it's draining at a rate similar to having the screen always on, also stopping Doze from kicking in.

I've deleted app installs since I noticed the problem (thought Spotify was the culprit but no). I've wiped cache from the bootloader and from Storage menu.

What else should I try before I resort to factory reset?

Thanks...

Ive found that youtube, google now, play store, play music and stock email on samsung are the culprits, therefor i have disabled them.

Unbelievable! This 'mediaserver bug' is around since 2012 (yeas, I googled it) and in 4 years Google was unable or unwilling to solve it (and it IS solvable as both iPhones and Windows phones have no problem with their similar software). This blasted bug eats my battery in minutes!

Either they

1. can't figure it out
or
2. don't give a damn as long as they have your money.

Shame on you, Google!

Or you know, they can't replicate it. I've never seen mediaserver in nearly 7 years. Last I saw it notification bar was with the original Galaxy S. And even then I didn't get the bug. The number of reports is also far lower than the number of sold phones, which makes it seem to be just the usual lemons when you make millions of the stuff.

I started experiencing this bug with Tidal as well now. It sucks down battery like mad.
