Get working root on your phone first, you will need to be on marshmallow. The guide is on this vibe x3 forums.

I believe the root of our problem lies with the new peel remote which has severe battery drain which is also a system app which means not removable unless rooted. Just use an alternative to the ir remote.

1. Download System app remover (root)
2. Uninstall peel remote there are 2 entries on the list.
3. Download Xposed installer then install
xposed through the app selecting install through recovery.
4. Download amplify battery extended
5. Install through exposed and restart.
6. Go to the wakelock tab and on all the safe to limits you will need to manually click each of them and toggle the off disable in the settings menu.

The reason for disabling the wakelock is because after android nougat wakelock have been optimized in marshmallow the wakelocks were never optimized.

Managed to bring down mAh usage by 200 for both screen on and screen off.



Further battery tips if your phone battery seems to drain super fast or your USB device is not recognized, you need to swap your cord out.

Disable vibration on your android keyboard and nav keys through settings it chews battery.

If you are charging using an unofficial charger and your phone gets laggy while charging, then it is not charging properly.

Best to use a good USB cord any will work as long as ur computer can recognize your phone with it and the official lenovo charger.
