Deactivate sensors - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I see that the sensors are draining my battery, is it possible to turn turn them off? Especially the accelerator sensor (i don't use this ) and the proximity sensor, where is this sensor for?
Thank you!

Could you please provide the name of the app so I can download it and test for myself, it doesn't look like those sensors should be using that much power, especially when in idle, do you have shake to wake and auto brightness on? Unless there's another App involved, those are the likely reasons
Edit
NM, android tuner, got it and testing now

Alright, it's definitely an app you've installed or rom/kernel set up that's causing that, try out gsam on the play store, that may come up with a way to find the app/s causing the accelerometer and light sensors to consume that amount of power. It might even show you how to manage it good luck

Thanks for the information! I'm using autobrightness and pocket detection, maybe the problem is with the pocket detection?

I'm using elementalx kernel

Looks like it is the pocket detection, try wiping cache, dalvik cache and reflashing elemental x kernel again. See how that goes, if it still uses the sensors too much, try reinstalling elemental again but decrease the sensitivity of the sensors a little. Play around with it and see what happens, pretty safe hope it works for you

It's a bug, Galaxy S3 has it too so we're not the only ones.

Looks pretty cool. Nice find. Going to give it a whirl and report back.

It doesn't seem to work on stock One. I tested on my old Captivate running CM9 and it works. I'm researching a Tasker workaround, but unfortunately it may just be that Take Call is root-only.
Cool! Sure hope someone can get this to work properly.
I actually found an app in the play store called Wave Control pro. I was able to control my music player by waving my hand in front of the proximity sensor.

It works
I downloaded it and got it working on my Samsung Epic 4G touch I realized the phone has to be laying flat down and you have to wave your hand from the camera downward
No luck on my HTC one, maybe it's the Rom that I am on.

Low brightness on Sense but nice on Car app? Bad ROM??

I have a problem with my HTC one stock firmware. The max manual brightness on the interface is very very low. Half that of a maximum Nexus. But when I open the Car app or Camera app it comes to life with a lot of light.
Is that a known issue with the stock sense ?

Need identification/diagnostic help. (Battery)

My GE HTC One has been having horrible battery life the last few days. Android System and Mediaserver have been slaughtering my battery within an hour and i want to know why. My possible thoughts are
Snapchat +Keepchat xposed extension (it saves all snaps to your internal mem)
Or settings issue?
Im exhausted and was hoping someone could give me advice to wake up to and try out tomorrow.
(BTW, its not partial wakelocks (caused by apps) because i got an xposed app that lets you disable wakelocks per app, and i knocked out any indecent wakelocks).
All help will be thanked!!!

about all I can suggest is that you wipe everything and flash the rom with stock kernel.
add apps one at a time and you should be able to work out what's using your battery.
I quit using snapchat and keepchat, it helped alot.

HEY HEY HEY. ITS NEITHER SNAPCHAT OR KEEPCHAT.

So ive been doing some reading, and apparently android 4.4.2 (across all devices) has a bug causing 100% cpu and battery to be diverted to the camera once an app has opened it. Google is aware, and working on a update. Should restore things to the way they were normally

Not all devices, just those where the camera uses a Qualcomm chipset, such as the Nexus 5.
Google releases software updates to the Nexus 5. They do not release updates to the HTC One, HTC does. Even for the GPE.

Arent like 90% of US devices using Qualcomms though? And im running GPe, we would get it soon enough.

Why would my Wi-Fi turn on by itself regardless of settings?

I'm rooted, s-off, and using stock 3.05.651.6. I use BatteryGuru, and it worked great before root/s-off, but my Wi-Fi won't stay off no matter which settings I choose.
Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA-Developers app
Battery guru might turn it off regardless. Also of power save is on that night be the issue.

Google location services is pretty sneaky about using WiFi.
