Xperia SP Battery Drain

JuliusCaesar — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 22:21:30 GMT

I'm facing a problem with my Xperia SP, the battery is being complety consumed by "Media Server". Some friends said it could be due to sound issues, so I just turned all sounds off, and finished "Media" cache. But after some huge hours of playing(1-3) Real Racing 3 and Zenonia 5, those games only consumed 18% and 15¨% of my battery, while "Media Server" and "Android System" have drained 30% and 28%, is that any kind of common problem or I'll have to send my XSP to Warranty check?

Mediaserver (in my case Walkman app) for some reason drains a lot of battery in the latest firmware (4.3).

This was already mentioned in other forum posts, but no solution to this problem yet. Maybe new firmware will solve this, but it is unclear when will that be or is that going to be solved with next update.
