Nexus 5 / Hammerhead battery boost? Disable auto-rotate & reboot for slower drain.

[Osndok]

In case this helps the devs or someone here, I thought it good to submit my observations.

I noticed that, when idle, my Nexus 5 (with the latest 15.04/stable) had a pair of 4%-cpu-consuming background processes:

• /system/bin/sensorservice Binder_2
• sensors.qcom

Following the advice of these Android posts:

• https://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g2/344315-what-sensors-qcom-why-using-so-much-battery.html
  • turn off auto-rotate
• https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546645
  • must reboot "a couple of times"

... I disabled auto-rotate & rebooted... the process then settled out rather quickly, and (I imagine) my battery will last longer.

Hopefully someone might find this helpful.
