mike, 13 May 2016please anybody tell me that do I have to buy new sim bcoz it supports nano sim or could I cut ... moreYes, vibe p1 supports a sim cut into nano sim. But it depends on which kind of some you were using before. For eg: airtel micro sims can be cut and used but the same isn't possible for DoCoMo. I had that bad experience and had to get a new nano sim for DoCoMo. Hope this helps.

AnonD-534378, 16 May 2016What is ur update version Kelly66? downgrade to s135 then update to s137 through internetI am on MM. Actually, this weird 1% drop has been going on from the time I bought the phone in Dec 15. So, don't think downgrading to S135 or 137 will help.
Wanted to know whether battery recalib will help in anyway.
Only reason to downgrade to S137 is to see whether battery life increases, but one will have to give up on the smoother UI post MM upgrade and also improved FP recognition.

I don't have a charging to 100% problem, but during every discharge cycle I see a 1% sudden battery drop at 88%, 80, 73, 58% and thereafter a 7-8% continuous drop after it goes below 30% (start may be from 27% or 25% onwards).
Will battery recalibration solve this issue? Any particular app in mind? I am not rooted so app based recalib will not work?

Method 1
1. Discharge your Lenovo Vibe P1 fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Unplug your charger.
5. Turn your phone on. The battery indicator will likely not say 100 percent, so plug it in (leave your phone on for this) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
6. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without being plugged in.
8. Now, let your battery discharge all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
9. Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.
Please remember that it is not recommended to perform this process all the time. Even when your battery is so dead your phone won't even turn on, your battery still has enough reserve charge to avoid system damage. Perform this process once every three months at the most. If it is required more often than that you have bigger problems at hand.
Put plainly: fully discharging a battery is bad for it. Trying to overload a battery is also bad for it. The good news is that charging batteries automatically shut off when their safe limit is reached and there's always a little in reserve even if your Lenovo Vibe P1 won't start. But again: do this only when really necessary, because it does have a negative impact on battery life.
How to calibrate Lenovo Vibe P1 battery with root access?
Even though it is not clear if clearing the batterystats.bin file has any meaningful effect on how the Android system reports remaining battery charge, there are those who swear by this method. So in the interests of fairness the process is included for you here (it is true that different manufacturers use the batterystats.bin file for different things). It's basically the same process as above but with the added step of a root-enabled app.

6. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7. You want to repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without being plugged in.
8. Now, install the Battery Calibration app and, before launching it, make sure your battery is at 100 percent again, then restart.
9 Immediately launch the app and recalibrate your battery.
10. Once you've calibrated your battery, discharge it all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
11. Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.
