      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.
