A partial wakelock doesn't help because, as I have already explained, as soon as the display goes off, the accelerometers go off. I can keep the CPU awake, and my program continues to run when the display is off. However, as soon as the display goes off, the accelerometers go silent.
So this is why I think that the solution lies in one of the lower layers, I'm just not sure where to start digging.
