Solution

  • Among the three apps you mentioned, GPS is by far the biggest power hog. It can be easily 50 times more than accelerometer. With GPS you are dealing with acquiring the signal in multiple frequencies, and it does a lot of number crunching at every specified epoch which also consumes a lot of power. However, for accelerometer the data is already inside of your mobile device. Thus, no significant power hogging for acquiring the data. I wouldn't worry about the 3rd case since a lot of apps do that with little heating problem.

    So start with working on GPS case first.
