I created an alternative workaround for the sensor services running amok in the background and eating cpu thus battery life. I was not so happy that I need to compile a python library for the proposed fix to test, so I took a look at the python script and wrote my own version of it in a more simpler way in bash script. ... If anyone with an bugzilla account could forward this to the bugtracker it would be great. (I don't have an account there and registration is disabled)
