1 ★ Can't detect root.
1 ★ does not detect root
1 ★ Galaxy Note 5 N920W8. Device is rooted. Multiple applications obtain root privileges successfully yet this app refuses to run citing that my device is not rooted. Tried rebooting and it requested su permission which I granted through supersu. Even after this it still won't load and just throws out the "device not rooted"message.
5 ★ It actually works!!! After suffering for months of horrible battery life watching "mediaserver" drain 25% of my battery I was ready to give up on my HTC one m7. Calibration tricks didn't work, wiping cache didn't, resetting phone didn't, changing roms didn't, greenify didn't, uninstalling apps and configuring settings did nothing. Setting this app to run every 20 minutes has tripled my (rooted) phones battery life. Mediserver isn't even mentioned in my usage stats anyomore. Hallelujah!
5 ★ I have a samsung galaxy s5 (G900F) kitkat 4.4.2 rooted device and am always tweeking to improve speed/battery/kill apps etc but always had mediaserver running as a wakelock and would drain battery sometimes in just a few hours of non use. Its now 12:30am and I still have 45% battery from a day of decent use. Thank you. Wish i found this app waaay sooner
5 ★ I tried everything I could think of after lots of googling and reading potential solutions. App works great. Now my G4 has good battery life again and doesn't feel like burning charcoal. Thanks!
5 ★ Working for me. Thank you. As for the media server issue to begin with, I swear if Google doesn't fix it in Lollipop, I'm going back to Iphone. Sick to death of this battery draining bug..
1 ★ It dosent work on lg phones as many of the lg users are experiencing same problem ...plz id any body finds solution to this mediaserver prob take an effort to share with all..
5 ★ Device not rooted but the app seems to be working. Every time I unlock my phone it says media server has been killed. My phone isn't hot anymore. So far so good.
5 ★ Upon installation, it failed - no root access. I rebooted my phone and it now works. I Uninstalled and reinstalled to double check. Same exact result. Furthermore, I confirmed this with a downloaded system monitoring app, my CPU usage dropped from ~90-95% to ~ 15% simply by killing mediaserver. I truly hope this helps someone out there.
3 ★ Don't know what it wanted to set up. Phone restart made it work. Now killing MediaServer on each wake-up.
1 ★ My device is rooted.. But it says a root Acess required .. I don't understand what is the problem please try to rectify the issue.. If it is rectified I would give 5stars.. TIA
5 ★ Dear Rori, please please PLEASE add a "kill on screen off" function. The app also makes phonecalls cut out when the phone is in sleepmode and wakes up from calls. Thank you for a great app Rori, it saves my phone battery for sure!
3 ★ ...it also kills my camera. Took some time to wonder why my cam app is now "force closing" every time I try to use it. After twrp restore and testing it seems that it starts always after I install this. None of settings or "add to ignore list" things work for this problem and cam app won't work anymore even I delete this. Sad, thumps up still for dev about idea! Can also be rom issue. HTC m7 GPE GOOGLE+ 5.1 edition.
4 ★ i was using this app on kitkat but now i upgraded my phone to lollipop and this app is not detecting root access tho my phone is rooted. maybe this app yet not compatible with lollipop firmware. thats why changing my ratings from 5 stars to 4 stars.
