EDIT: no, sadly it didn't solve anything. I think media picker is actually the media scanner. Deleting a ton of pics has helped in my case, but it's still running a lot.
After playing a bit with adb, the app is the Files app, with package name com.google.android.documentsui. In particular the activity com.android.documentsui.picker.PickActivity .
So, the following adb shell commands can be used: First start adb shell (I'm assuming you have adb working already, check online how to do that otherwise), by giving the command: adb shell Force stopping Files app: am force-stop com.google.android.documentsui Clearing Files app data (doesn't delete files): pm clear com.google.android.documentsui
If still happening, install a file manager (it will be used, at least MixPlorer does), and you can try disabling Files app: pm disable-user com.google.android.documentsui
Enabling the app back if you need: pm enable com.google.android.documentsui
Hi, did that solve your problem? I've already restarted my phone but the media picker keeps draining my battery. I don't know what to do to solve this problem.
I have an S20 FE with the same issue. I just discovered that Resilio Sync (formerly BTSync) was responsible for using the Media Picker, which was causing the battery drain. Oddly enough, it didn’t appear in the list of apps with high energy consumption. I started disabling apps that access files on my phone one by one until I found the culprit.
