I have noticed a battery drain on my new ATT Note3.

it happens sometimes.. when it does an app is running and it will not sleep: mm-qcamera-daemon

it shows up in the battery usage manager.. at the top of the list.
and using about 50% of the battery!! when this happens, the phone battery performance is cut in half. and the phone is a little warm to the touch.

I have tried to find it so that I can stop it.. but I can not find it in the application manager. so it is hidden or part of some other application / service.

did a little research and I think it is part of the android service app: TMServerApp. I forced stopped that app.. and the mm-qcamera-daemon stopped taking up battery usage and cpu power.

what is it? why is it? how can I fix this?
do I have to keep manually FC the TMServerApp??? what a pain!!!

 

NOT rooted. totally stock.. running a launcher: ADW Launcher.

a little more research...
found some think it was a plugin for Yahoo Messenger. a video plugin.
which i have loaded. I have now un-installed it.

I hope this gets rid of it!
