Same here. Tried many things but not able to find a solution. It seems the answer on this question is not yet to find on the internet.

The one thing I did that was successful was 1. Power off the phone. 2. Plug it in to charge to 100% 3. Unplug once 100% 4. Turn the phone on.

5. Immediately RESTART the phone (close apps and restart option) while battery still 100%.

This works however, if you do an update download, it may reappear weeks later immediately after updates are made. If so, follow same process.

Thanks -- this worked immediately, and there is still no sign of mdnsd after several days.

If you have Firefox installed, that likely is the culprit.
