Today I was looking at what was using up my battery. There was an entry in the Settings > About Phone > Battery use that read "Media Server" that had the same icon as Android System. It was using 18% of the battery. I closed everything in Task Killer that I don't normally use and it was still there. I rebooted the phone and it was gone. Anyone seen this and/or know what this is?

Media Server Entry in Battery Use List

Well I do know that much, that it was using 18% of the battery but was wondering why there was an entry for Media Server instead of Android System.
I started all the media apps I have and even installed twonkyserver and was streaming media to my Windows 7 laptop. This still didn't trigger the mediaserver process to show up. It must have been something strange with my wifi and a media app running at work. I will see tomorrow if I can reproduce the "problem"
I had the same service running today and it was using 38% of my battery. Actually it ran my battery down in about 4 hours. My wifi was not enabled, but I was using Pandora, but that had its own entry in the list with only 3% battery use. Could this be the service needed to run any multimedia app?
Sorry no, it was for the OP. I just noticed you mentioned Pandora in your reply. Damn my poor scanning skills.^ me? Yes.
Thats why I figured it had something to do with the media system in general.
If you weren't asking me, sorry
Still having this mediaserver process show up on my Droid. Now that I'm rooted I can see it in OS Monitor app using 90% cpu and my phone is fairly warm on the back. I can't kill it from OS Monitor either. It's showing as /system/bin/mediaserver PID 1083. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm not running anything related to media in case you're wondering.

im having the same problem with mediaserver showing up. Any idea how to fix it?
I just updated Kid Mode Saturday and mine started showing up as well. I've had it on there for a couple months and use it heavily and it's never shown up before. I've also noticed a battery life decrease lately as well, but only when using anything internet related , including the above mentioned app .I can watch my battery drop while using YouTube, Kid Mode, etc whereas it was no where near as bad before.
