When the Android media service eats your battery

Today my phone has been eating my battery life like crazy. After some google searches I came arround that it is might be caused by a bad file or corrupted sd-card. I also unmounted my sd-card, but so far this was not the solution for my problem...

A quick hack for this problem is to kill the media service via a script.

If your phone is rooted, you can install a program that can run shell scripts like Script Manager - SManager on your phone.

Then run the following script to kill the media service:

#!/system/bin/sh
killall -9 android.process.media
killall -9 mediaserver

Baaaaam! :)

If you have any idea how I find out what file or error is causing my media service to crash, don't hesitate to contact me.
