REPRODUCIBILITY: always
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.19
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 III
UI LANGUAGE:
REGRESSION: yes, problem not present in 4.4.0.58
DESCRIPTION:
constant, permanent high CPU usage for com.android.providers.media.module process, and sdcard process.
this is the case on all SFOS 4.5 versions (android11). this is not the case on SFOS 4.4 (android10). i can easily flash back and forth, changing nothing, and always observe this.
i have performed flash to 4.4 and then ota to 4.5, allowing the migration script to chown all my files on my sdcard (WHY???) and it also does not seem to help.
- changing file uid/gid back doesnt help
-
pm clear com.android.providers.media.moduledoesnt help -
.nomediaeverywhere legal doesnt help. (side note: media-providers now DELETES .nomedia in Pictures and the sdcard mount dir, and a few other places where i wanted to try it out. i did chattr +i to .nomedia in the root of my sdcard, and media provider just constantly threw exceptions to log until i removed the chattr) - reboots dont help, restarting aliendalvik doesnt help
- nothing in logcat while this is happening
- kill -9 fixes the problem for about 15min, or until the next reboot
in sfos 4.4, i had about 38000 pictures on my phone being scanned, so it took a few min. i deleted all but around 1000, and now 4.4 is instantaneous, and 4.5 still runs forever. it doesnt seem related to the amount of stuff
PRECONDITIONS:
sfos 4.5, aliendalvik android11
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- start aliendalvik
- wait for phone to burn a hole in my pocket
EXPECTED RESULT:
reasonable cpu usage as media scanner runs for a few minutes on first boot, like in sfos4.4
ACTUAL RESULT:
phone gets so hot you can finally remember which pocket its in
