Media and 1013 network use?

I've searched the forums, and there are no similar topics, so thought I'd ask!

My battery seems to drain quick sometimes, so I checked Spare Parts to see if I could see anything suspicious.

When I checked earlier, "Media" was taking up the full bar of my network use. I'm not entirely sure what this media may be, as I haven't even used or looked at any media.

I killed all the running/background tasks and checked again. Now it shows "1013" taking up all of the bar, followed by media, which at a rough guess would be 30%, which is then followed by "1010".

Could anyone say what media this might be? And what this 1013 is? It's been at the top of the list a few times that I have checked - and the entire bar being blue.

Cheers!
 
It's hard to believe no one may know the answer to this! Surely someone must know!

I charged my phone up today, and I have noticed today that Media is using up the whole bar of network use. My phone has hardly been used except for texting, and I checked facebook once, so I don't understand what may be using the network! I also see "0" on the list too, though it hasn't used a lot of data, it still remains an mystery to me of what it could be!

Do you have any streaming apps like Last.FM, Pandora, Slacker, or otherwise. Those apps use the media server of the Android system, so can cause media server to eat bandwitdth/power (yet not show up on the bandwidth/power use themselves). It almost sounds like you have some streaming app running using data, which then in turn causes massive battery drain due to radio use.
