Tizen app : gear current consumption is too high on sleep mode

I have an application in Tizen in which I am recording the sensor data of some activity of a user. The application is hybrid type and the accelerometer, gyroscope data is registered in the native service application. I have an option where the user can pause the recording of data. When the device goes to is paused, sensor_listener_unset_event_cb(listener_accelero) and device_power_release_lock(POWER_LOCK_CPU) are called. Hence, it is expected that no sensor data will be received while in sleep state.

However, on submitting to Tizen store I get the following rejection message : 

[CURRENT] Gear current consumption is too high on sleep mode
- Tested application
Min current: 23.1 mA, Average current: 24.173 mA
- Samsung Gear standard current consumption
Min current: 4 mA, Average current: 7 mA

The video attachment shows that reported current consumption is in sleep state after pausing the recording. What could be the reason for such high current drawn? Also, how can I verify whether some tweak actually solves the problem. Is there any application which does the current/power profiling for Samsung gear S2/S3?

Keeping app awake in device screen off state is sensitive issue. Have you tried using SENSOR_OPTION_ALWAYS_ON

sensor_listener_set_option(listener, SENSOR_OPTION_ALWAYS_ON);

Sensor API: Sensor option

Stop the sensor listeners when the app is going to pause state. Then again start the listeners when app is up front again if necessary.
