Hi,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 about three months ago. All was working fine until last week when the battery started draining really fast. I didn't install any new apps at all. It did tell me that MediaServer was running quite a lot, although I hardly play music from my phone. Anyway, I decided to do a factory reset and deleted all of my information, music and apps on my SD card in case of a corrupt file. This didn't work. My battery wasn't even lasting 8 hours.
I read into this some more and reset the cache partition. I found this worked slightly, although it still wouldn't last up to 9 hours. Since then, I have installed battery doctor. Once again, this is a slight improvement but it still doesn't get me to 10 hours. The phone is still rooted and I don't want to change this for warranty purposes. I have reduced the screen lighting to -3 to try and save battery, but again, this has failed.
When I load up the battery manager, it tells me the following:
Screen: 25%
Android System: 25%
Facebook: 14%
Android OS: 14%
Cell Standby: 5%
Wi-Fi: 3%
Messenger: 3%
com.android.systemui: 2%
Mediaserver: 2%
I use facebook occasionally, but even so, I don't want to stop using the apps that I bought the phone for.
Any help would be really appreciated. I have purchased another battery which is on the way, but I am worried that it is something within the phone itself which is causing this problem.
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated.
Kind regards,
Adam
