[Q] Can I turn off sensors?

Can I completely turn off some sensors on my Desire until I actually need them?
As you can see from the pictures below, AK8973 Orientation Sensor uses 7mA, AK8973 3-Axis Magnetic field sensor uses 6.8mA and the Rotation Vector Sensor uses 7.0mA.
Do these sensors get turned off automatically when not being used, or are they on all the time? If they are on all the time, surely it is a waste of power if they are not being used?

}
Or am I taking rubbish?

None of these Sensors is active as long as an App doesnt use them. Thats why Standby-Current is usually around 7 mAh (if not polling for mails etc.). Just grab CurrentWidget from the market if u want to test.

How accurate do you feel is the Resting hear rate sensor in the GWA 2?

It seems the watch measures the Resting heart rate only once a day. Below is a screenshot from the Samsung Health app where for each day there's only 1 orange dot.
Is this expected or is my watch faulty?
Thanks!

Fingerprint test: what is each item ¿?

Hello, dismounting my device I broke the fingerprint sensor. So I bought a new one and when place it, fingerprint reads was unconsistent. Try to enroll again but have the calibration needed message.
Then I downgrade to android 9 (after tray everithing else) and the fingerprint doesn't work properly anyway...
When tray *#0*# and test the sensor have:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can anyone tell me what is "history" item and how make them go to 0 value? Or if knows how make a calibration better!
Go to samsung support it's not an opcion ( it's a frankensphone builded from other 2 broken )
Thanks!
