        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.
