Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.

I'm guessing it uses it to work out the orientation of the app (portrait, landscape) can you disable rotation in either the app or android system settings.

Might not be the fix you want but hopefully will reduce the battery usage.

My phone is always portrait locked. Incase it wasn't obvious the phone was mostly unused for this on the table. Only about 30-45mins was active use of voyager.

Will look in voyager settings for rotation though.
