Android : Accessing Sdcard File System Through Dev Machine Filesystem?
May 9, 2009Is it possible to access the filesystem of an sdcard image through something like Windows Explorer?
i.e. mount the sdcard as a drive or web folder or something. I have some xml files stored on my sdcard image which I frequently want to edit.
Ideally I would like to be able to edit these files directly using my fave xml editor (either through the filesystem or webdav).But is this possible?
If not, is the only alternative to pull the xml file from the sdcard to the dev machine filesystem, edit and the push it back?
General :: Media Scanner SDCard CPU Utilization Battery Drain
Nov 26, 2013Often your Media scanner can misbehave and eat lot of CPU, Battery un-wantedly.
I had been digging out how to fix it, and here are my solutions. Perhaps try al of them, it would definitely relieve your cpu and battery usage by large. Solution works on any Android version:
Solution 1. Clear media storage data
Settings > applications > Media Storage > clear data, force stop and reboot.
Solution 2. Remove unwanted media files Navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails and delete all files. Repeat for external sd card. On AOSP roms, Android gallery creates too many of thumbnails that later becomes problematic for media scanner.
Solution 3. Analyze and delete excessive media files Find out what files are causing media scanner to go mad. Use any sdcard analyst (I use ES file manager > menu > Sd card analyst) to determine which directory has lots of files/subdirectories inside it. Any directory having >1000 files/folders is an alarmingly high number. Get rid of them (if you can).
Solution 4. Probe and delete bad/damaged media If you're sure you've tried above solutions and still encountering battery drain, its time to dig deeper with developer tools. Pre-requisite: You must be rooted, and have android developer tools (adb) setup. With ADB tools installed, enter shell and acquire su permissions
Code:
adb shell
su
Then run top (linux task manager) to see which process is eating cpu. You can filter top results
Code:
top -grep media
this would give you a result like
Quote:
130|root@n7000:/ # top | grep media
1905 0 10% S 7 23080K 6168K bg media /system/bin/mediaserver
2808 0 40% S 3 3524K 740K media_rw /system/bin/sdcard
2825 0 9% S 19 255832K 43936K bg u0_a5 android.process.media
%age cpu shows media server is eating cpu and needs to be fixed. Run the following command to determine which file is it currently reading
Code:
lsof | grep media_rw
If the media service is stuck at a directory/file for a long time, you know it's a damaged media file, you should get rid of it.
Once you get rid of such files, Its guaranteed media server would finish scanning soon enough.
Solution 5: Format SD cards If nothing works (or you're too lazy of trying solution 4): Take backup and format Internal, external sd card and copy only selective files/folders that you need. Problems would go away for sure.
Solution 6: Disable Media scanner If your Droid is against you and it just won't tame, its time to disable the media scanner. You can do this from adb shell
Code:
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver All Solutions with full detail: Fix Android Media server scanner SDcard CPU, Battery drain
