Take full backup and do a factor reset (it may or may not resolve the issue)
Now nothing you can do except for waiting for an update which may resolve the issue.
This is usually caused by a bad MicroSD card. Do you have one installed?

No, I just have my internal memory.
Or it could be some corrupted or incompatible media files
Maybe silly idea, bit did you try reboot? I didn't had media server as problem, but an excessive consumption over night. After reboot it was gone...

So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
no one knows why this happens ?
no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.
Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.
It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.
maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at
happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.
- Completely vanilla sgs-i9000m from Bell, just unlocked. Not even rooted.
Thats the message I’m getting on the notification bar of my SGS. I checked in the summary of Samsung Task Manager app that it says Personal Data 127Mb/128MB, so I guess that it could be referring dbdata.
I have around 100 apps installed, but enough space on both sd cards (more than 1gb on each sd card), less than 20 sms and less than 70 contacts. What could be the problem? Maybe because I’m using gmail?
You are using binds, probably in universal lagfix.
There you go! thanks. I thought I disabled the lagfix but bind_data_to_dbdata was still with data instead of false.
I just disabled it, but I ran out fo battery when some backup was doing from cwm.. I'll see when I arrive home if the problem was solved or if I created a bigger one (phone bricked)...

If you have any problems just restore earlier backup from cwm

Lol, didnt you notice your battery was too low?
Anyways, it is always a good precaution to do flashing at close to full battery as problems can occur which may require you to perform a reflash over again...
Hope nothing bad happened as they ussually do when the phone goes off halfway but since it was just restoring a backup shouldn't be much of a big issue
I got this the other day, freaked me out! Ended up realizing the problem lol but never expected it to happen.
This isn't dev so I reported it...don't want to be a jacka$$ but I like keeping the forum clean
the binds options should be set to false by default. maybe some could change that in the next release of CWM...
Hi people,
I have some troubles with my battery life, it drains like madness since 4.2.2 update and the phone seems to overheating, i've first tried with the NUT ROM cause i need root but i've experienced the same problem so i've flashed with a official stock rom 4.2.2 ftf file but i've still have the same problem.
What's going on with this update!
It's really painfull to use it even while it's charging!
Any solution?

Multimedia and Serveur Multimedia, sorry my ROM is in French because i'm French
that's insane that those 2 things take 91% of the battery!
Try to stop the services and clean data to force a new refresh. If you spend your day listening to music or videos than it should be normal but I suspect if it was the case you're not asking for help here.

That's a nice joke, no seriously u can't stop those process, for the first, the option is grey u can't select it and for the the other there is simply no option to stop it.
To anyone who is experiencing device over heating, lag or battery drain after the update; give it an hour, it’s just that the device is still adjusting.. Mine is working smooth now after an hour of usage..Problem solved!:victory:

I gave mine 24 hours and the battery is still draining extremely fast. My battery drainers are Screen 30% and Android OS 20%. Sometimes Screen ended up to 99% even I never use any 3rd launcher or live wallpapers.
Any helps?

Factory reset and wipe contents on SD card, then repair through PC companion. Problem solved.
BTW, google has changed the way things work with KK regarding SD card storage. To solve your problems you need to start off fresh and then let KK sort out the file structure for you. The old way had security risks, its changed now so your folder structure is bad on your SD card. Sort that out, then you will have great battery life (better than Jelly Bean)

Did you restore? If you did then that's your problem. Need to start off clean again. You can use PC companion to restore your images and songs and whatnot (through the media app) but DON'T restore! You're just restoring the same broken file structure all over again!
EDIT: Also did you repair your phone through PCC? That step is important! Because it will install KK properly to your device. I know this sounds like a mission mixed in with a bit of [email protected] Sony rants Blah, Blah, blah.. but trust me it works!
Also you cant blame Sony because this problem is a KK specific issue regarding storage (although this should have been implemented in Android right from Eclair!)
So to break it down:
1) Wipe phone and SD from -> the menu setting
2) Repair phone in PCC
3) Screw your saved games and app data and restore only whats important, eg: music, movies and pictures
4) Boom, done!

Before restoring i have a question, i need the root for some specific app like SCR that why 'im using the NUT ROM, restoring the phone will eras the ROM and i'll lost the root, but did that will solve my problem? I mean i can reflash the NUT ROM again and the problem wont appear?
I've already tried to flash from the official stock ROM and the problem was still here so i REALLY doubt that PCC will solve it...

Maybe a dev can make a fix on the major issues of kk, if no battery issues, its a start!!
I had the same battery drain issue caused by the "mediaserver" process.
I did a factory reset, it went away for a couple of days, and then returned.
When I was about to format my sd card, I realized it was defected, and turned into read-only (I don't know if it was caused by the phone). I couldn't delete anything or format it.
I went and bought a new 64gb microsd card, copied just the music and photos from the old one (without all the android files), and the phone was fine for a day, with normal battery.
Then, after a day, it started draining the battery again, and again because of the "mediaserver" process. I don't know what I can do anymore besides just remove the sd card and remain with the internal memory. This kitkat update is just abysmal. I am highly disappointed with Sony for releasing such a buggy software update.
You might want to try an app called BatteryGuru for Snapdragon. Works quite well.

I'm having overheating problems too with 4.4.4 and I want to get rid of it.. do you still have problems with the phone like getting warm after 5-10 minutes? If not please explain what you did xD.
I am experiencing frequent problems with the process android.process.media - I suppose it's the media scanner.
Randomly, my phone isnt' responding (if screen is turned on, it just doesn't wake up). If I look inside the diagnostic app, android.process.media is causing this problem. I got like 780 entries with that process.
While this happens, I don't get notifications, no sound, phone works, but very very slowly.
My z3c is rooted, so I tried installing xposed module Xposed media scanner, but I haven't seen results.
Factory reset solves the issue for one day, then the battery drain and process not responding begins again
The problem happens when scanning my 64gb sd card, which I bought new bceause I thought it was a matter of sd card. Formatted from phone, issue still there.
My next step is now putting a .nomedia file at the top of the sd card... I'll use a 3rd party media player like poweramp which scans independently for files...
Is anybody having this issue / has any other solution?

Seems that your sd card is corrupt. I suggest trying out a different sd xard to see if the problem persists

I've got the same issue with my Z3. The only solution is a complete factory reset including reformatting the sd-card. But after some time (and after I copied my large music-library on the sd, which may be the reason for the issue) it freezes again and restarts every 2 minutes - showing a lot of entries for android.process.media in the diagnostics app.
Did you already try to disable the media process? Maybe this would help.
The freezing usually begins after powering on the phone - when the sd-card ist rescanned.
Exactly the same here. I put a .nomedia file at the top of the SD card folders, and issue has disappeared (two days passed since last restore). With that trick at the beginning process doesn't scan inside SD card... I have a lot of music, so with 3rd party music player like poweramp everything s fine..

Thanks, the .nomedia seems to work for me, too - the phone was rebooting every two minutes today, now it's working without problems - at least for the last hours.
So I noticed on Friday every app (Discord/Signal/Twitter/etc) that used WebViewer was crashing and wouldn't open. I traced it down to the Chrome app and disabled the Chrome app on the phone and everything worked. However, I wasn't able to uninstall or install the latest version of Chrome on the phone, even after re-enabling the app. Not a problem I thought, I'll just Restore from a Titanium backup. However when I did it put the phone into a boot loop. Crap, I'll restore from a Nandroid backup. Nope same thing. So I wiped the System/Dalvik/cache and downloaded the full Rom from OnePlus's website and did a fresh Flash. Same thing. If I try to Format the phone all way it freezes on the data and then goes into a dead android state.
Does anyone have any ideas? Preferably I would like to avoid wiping the phone to zero, but if I have to I have to. If it comes to that, does anyone have a good Rom recommendation for just playing games and taking calls?

Suggestions for what?
Unfortunately these signs you described are leading to memory chip failure (sudden death, hang on formatting data).
If you could boot into TWRP, I'd suggest backing data up to your PC, as much as possbile.
You may try your luck with an unbrick tutorial (without or with data wipe).

Yeah TWRP isn't an issue. That I can get into and it is my fault that I should have mentioned that I have already tried the unbrick methods.
I guess I was hoping that it really hadn't fallen to a hardware failure and more along the lines of something I did. I'll be honest in saying that I was really hoping there was a bit of knowldege that I was missing or that somebody would just be like "Nope, I've run into this before. Go in and change this flag from 1 to 0 and do this step you overlooked.".
Either way thank you for your time and responses and many thanks for taking time out to respond back to me.
