Battery drain / akmd2 consistently using 4% cpu time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Did you search through the other issues to make sure that this issue has
not been already reported?
yes
Did you look at the FAQ http://wiki.openetna.com/w/Manual:FAQ ?
yes
Did you use SetCPU or other means to overclock the cpu? 
no

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. connect the phone to adb
2. adb shell
3. top

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Verify that akmd2 is using 4% cpu with GPS off and screen is off

What version of OpenEtna are you using?

I did not fastboot -w

I believe this is draining the battery.
Have tried to disable auto-rotation of the screen and creation of /data/delay 
and nothing changed.

User 4%, System 14%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%

to do with the accelerometer? someone will let me know

I read the same thing. 

I too believe that it should not be running when the phone is sleeping.

I have already tried those solutions.

They don't solve the problem with akmd2 when phone is locked.

the libsensor driver always activate light sensor and
it make akmd2 always activated that cause battery consume constantly.
