CPU wakelocks draining battery on Vibe P1

[maykelbembibre]

I bought Lenovo Vibe P1 which has 5000 mAh battery and it is offering me a ridiculous duration. I have found that the reason are two software pieces, the "Notification center" and the Lenovo launcher, they produce hours and hours of CPU awake time. How can I prevent that or hibernate that two applications? It is a shame that a phone with such a high capacity battery has a so little duration because of two bad made software programs.
Thank you so much for advance.

Root it and you can put a new launcher on it not sure on rest

Start with what @deanlee121 said. He's a smart dude. Change the launcher. Changing the launcher might fix the notification center issues as well. You can change a launcher without root access.

The most popular launcher out there is probably Nova Launcher. I like Smart Launcher personally, but it might be too minimalistic for most.

Good luck.

That seems to be a good idea, but I think this phone does not let you to disable the notification center as it is a system app. But I will try.
Other thing is that I have GSam battery monitor and it says that there are lot of Android OS and Android kernel wakelocks. How can I prevent that? Why do the OS and the kernel need so many wakelocks? I had 2 hours wake up time each day...
I have checked that this phone's battery is good, but with so many wakelocks it is very unseized. Is a pity to waste its energy in that way.
Please help me. I will take the risk of change the ROM if necessary. This phone must be filled of nasty chinese software which must be producing the wakelocks.
I am a computer programmer and I know that when you make a bad program it takes more energy than necessary to execute.
Thank you so much in advance.

Finally I coulnd't resist and I rooted my Lenovo Vibe P1. I have frozen several apps with Titanium Backup hoping that wakelocks will reduce.
Could you recommend me an app which forces the phone to be in full sleep, killing this way any possibility of having CPU wakelocks on standby mode?

Now you're rooted try Servicely or Greenify.

I have installed an application called "Deep Sleep Battery Saver". It seems that this application can disable all running processes when you turn off the screen by locking the phone. Also it has a whitelist of processes that will never be killed, I put WhatsApp in that list for example. It is obvious, if you are not using the phone, no processes should be running.
The bad thing is that this application seems to turn off wifi when I turn off the screen, and that way WhatsApp will not work. I only want to stop all processes except for the essential ones, and I need wifi for that. Any ideas?

Again. Install Greenify and/or Servicely. You may want to install LeanDroid also which will regulate your wifi, mobile data, Bluetooth etc also. Greenify and Servicely will not affect your wifi at all regardless.

I tested Greenify in the past and it needed me to stop services manually all the time. I need that to happen automatically because I find annoying to be aware all of the time of my phone's background services.

Servicely is automatic but it needs me to specify which services to stop. What I need is an application that by itself stops every background service on the phone when screen is locked. Also kernel services because my phone has a lot of kernel wakelocks and I think that is useless. Why does the phone need so much time of CPU when screen is off and there is not any app open? In a night my phone has reached 2 hours of CPU awake time.

For the third time, install Greenify and Servicely especially now you're rooted. Greenify is automatic with root. You can also kill system apps as you wish. Identify those with Gsam or Wakelock Detector. Either way you have to set up any app to do what you want.
