Hi,
Been struggling to improve SOT on this phone for a while.
Have tried stock, aosp, cyanogen and the best I have ever managed for SOT was 3 and half hours.
I have now uninstalled Google now, which I love and use a lot. Screen on time has shot up to 5 hours. That's the only change I have made.
Would like to reinstall it but just not worth it. Had very little power drain using this on an original moto g.
If anyone has this I would recommend uninstalling
Thanks
Wayne
Did you tried redmi note 2 tools from play store.

I have a 3 years old galaxy s4 and i can exchange it for a new redmi 3.
was reading the reviews on phone arena, gsm arena,... and all reviews were praising the phone.
i love the fact that it has 720p display and a 4100mah battery (omg). and aslo in reviews they said that the camera makes great pictures. all i need is good battery life, music, browsing and camera and i think the redmi 3 has all this things.
but i was reading in this forum and some people arent happy with it and i am wondering why?
also i would like to know if there will be a marshamllow update and if there are any good roms for it.
should i exchange my s4 for redmi 3?
I think you should)
I changed my lg g2 (d802) after failed flash to Redmi 3 and happy with it)
@ManBearrrPig I just switched from the S4 (now with broken SIM-Card reader) to the Redmi 3.
And I am also traveling a lot and therefore I though of a phone with more battery capacity. The Redmi is great! The following video helped me alot:
Watch the video and then decide for yourself. The video shows all (!) pro and cons.
After consideraton i decided to go for moto g 3rd gen. I can get redmi 3 for 130€ and moto g for 140€. Moto g has better xda support and i think its better overall. But thank you guys for your feedback
Hello guys
So I've been using my nexus 5x along with my moro e for few months now
Recently my nexus 5x ran into some problems I couldn't solve
So I'm now looking for new device
Is redmi note 4 worth buying for me ?
When I was using nexus 5x. ..I've been using lot of custom ROMs .. Can i expect same from redmi note 4 ?
I need notification light as well
While on nexus 5x. . if I relock my boot loader I could claim my warranty ..does the same goes with xiaomi ?
Please someone answer these questions and suggest me

If you really like MIUI, then I'd say its worth it...There's not a lot available for custom ROMs and I don't know if there ever will be. I also am unsure if Xiaomi will ever bring Nougat to the phone either, though I would expect it at this point.
The phone is pretty fast..It's the software that is holding it back...I have a Nextbit Robin with the 808 processor (Same as your 5x), and this thing smokes the robin in real world performance (And Geekbench4).

That's the story for every Mi and I've used a couple.
To me the best solution would be getting rid of MIUI and going with stock... but on Mi h/w. Easier said than done though. Ah well at least one can get the Google Now launcher and the app drawer.
I've been a 'flashaholic' with my previous phone the LG G3, and changing to RN4 is a pretty big deal for me(because MediaTek and MIUI)
You can't expect the same support since you're coming from a NEXUS device but there's a decent amount of ROMs for the RN4 here and more to come.
Stock MIUI 8 isn't bad actually, just paired it with root access, nougat theme and nova launcher. All good for me.

if you get it for cheap then yeah. TRy getting the snapdragon version for INSANE battery life. Apart from that, the MTK version shares all the same features (like camera quality) as the snapdragon one. One thing though; the MTK one charges one hour faster that the Snapdragon version. For the record, the 4100Mah Redmi note 4 MTK charges in 2 hours and 10 minutes from 5% using a 5V 2A charger. add 1 hour for the snapdragon version.

Do you know why it takes 1 hour longer?

no fast charging. Without it, the 625 SOC won't take in more current vs MTK redmi note 4 which takes 5v 2A.
Thanks to all those who replied
I'm looking forward to buy a snapdragon variant soon
I have one more doubt tho
Does Redmi note 4 has a notificationlight ?
Thanks

Yes it does.
Nougat based MIUI beta version is available. I have been using 4 GB model & my advice is to just go for it.
I have preferred MIUI & have stuck to Xiaomi handsets. Recently, I purchased Moto Z Play as Xiaomi phones were coming hybrid Sim with just 32 GB internal memory, which were not fulfilling my needs. But I was annoyed by lack of customisation, firewall, Blocklist, Call Recorder, internet speed meter & auto BackUp, which are present in MIUI & are absent in Moto Z Play. Now for Moto Z Play, I had to install a lot of additional softwares, but sense of perfection with MIUI was somehow missing. In first Redmi Note 4 sale, I purchased a 4GB variant & sold Moto Z Play for pittance.
The battery on my Redmi Note 2 is going funny so might use the opportunity to upgrade. Asking some questions might help me and others decide if Note 4X is worth upgrading.
What is SOT like? does the Note 4X suffer from same battery drain as Note 2?
Any battery failures to date?
Build quality good?
Xiaomi.eu rom a good choice? (I quite like MIUI)
Will there be an official Lineage OS ROM? and good selection of roms?
Any major or minor issues I should know about?
Is a Redmi Note 5 expected any time soon?

SOT is like 10hrs+ on Miui and I'm using Custom roms, getting almost same battery. On LTE only, I used to browse + Telegram.
None
Yep, indeed, and has 2.5d glass as well.
Yes. I hate Miui too and I'm using Custom at the moment. Xiaomi eu is also good choice.
Yes, we'll get official Los and currently there are tons of Roms available. RR /AEX / PA / OMNI etc etc..
Apparently i heard about dead pixels on some devices, solution is to visit a nearby SC and get yo screen replaced.
That's gonna 2018. Not now, I guess.
More specifically the Security app (com.miui.securitycenter), does anyone remember what version updated it to be compatible with dark mode?
The latest version is really annoying as the battery stats are useless, when checking it the other day the screen on time actually started to reduce! I was at just over 8hrs SOT,then when I checked it later it was just over 7.
So I uninstalled updates on the Security center app and its great to have the old working version back. However its the original factory version that didnt have a dark mode, I remember there was a version of the old one that introduced dark mode before it got updated the new version/style battery and performance app. I'm currently using miui global stable 11.0.11.

Ok, did some trial and error on apkmirror lol.
I tried 4.1.2 and it was the new version, went back to 3.9.7 and its the old version and it works with dark mode, link below in case its any use to anyone else.

Damn thats a pity, guess i'll have to give it up once miui 12 hits. I dont understand how it get so messed up when it worked perfectly before. I dont really mind the visual overhaul but there just seems to be lots of issues with just providing the basic info of standby time since unplugged and SOT.

Is it wise for me to sell my redmi note for lg g7 bcus the gaming performance on the note 10 is not good and the g7 uses sd845 and it's cheap
Why you buying a d€ad company device ?
Lg shutdowned !
and Redmi note 10 not for heavy games and the hardcore gamers won't be satisfied ! it's just for 150$ what you want more !?
beside , if you want gaming and cheap device go for Poco x3 pro.

Thats the issue I am not satisfied, about lg I don't really care about software updates, but the note 10 is really smooth when during day to day task and have a really great screen.

I see no choice. Either way you have to compromise even if you get the LG G7 unless you spend a little more in some completely other phone which is better for both gaming, day to day task and has a great screen.

You're welcome.
It's fine for light gaming. Even some heavy gaming. Depends on the game. So far all the ones I play have been great. I just upgraded to this from a Redmi Note 7, and I am happy.
I just bought and use this RN10 (4/64, all usual 'treatment' by me, nothing special) for my daily phone for about a week, it's a beautiful entry level priced phone, but... aside of many positive things I like from it;
I see stutter (and/or lag) screen (animation) even for (supposed to be) light games (?), like UNO, Wordscapes, Candy Crush, etc.
(I'm not a gamer, I just ocassionally play those kind of light games here and there).
I'm a bit disappointed about this. Because with my old Asus ZF MPM 1 (same 4/64, same 'treatment', same home WiFi and all), those same 'light games' does not stutter/lag.
my RN10 is still in stock MiUI 12.5.2 now.
Perhaps it's the MiUI?
Because I think the hardware should be good enough (not stuttering/lagging like that) for those kind of light tasks/games, right?
(But in my son's (more than a year old) Redmi 9A 3/32 with stock MiUI,.. those stutter doesn't happen).
What's wrong with this Redmi Note 10, or what wrong did I do?
It's my 1st time using Xiaomi and MiUI.
I'm going to Unlock its BL tonight or tomorrow, after waiting Xiaomi mandatory waiting time for 168 hours.

Yes , definely is the MIUI... i have tried the latest 12.5.4 Global (Factory Reset ofc) and there is lag , overheating and much stutters in the system... of course doing basic stuff , i'm not a gamer..
and same case... my grandmother have a Redmi 9A 2/32 with the MIUI 12.0.17 and that phone have a much better performance in the system and games than my Note 10. WTF!!?
So , i switched to Custom ROMs...
The difference in the performance is like x100 times ... so Custom ROMs are the choice if you want a decent experience in this phone.
MIUI is the worst trash ever....

Confused thing for me is that Redmi 9A uses same MiUI 12.. strange.. but maybe the optimization Xiaomi does for Redmi 9A hardware is better(?) I don't know.
Now, my question is;
What Custom ROM do you use now?
(which has 100x performance like you said)

Yes , probably but is just unfair... Note Series should be better optimized but we know that Xiaomi loves to release a lot of phones instead of work in software...
Now i'm currently using crDroid 7.12 with latest WestCoast Superfast Kernel... the best in my opinion.. i love it

Nice. I will try that crDroid.
Before crDroid, what else of Custom ROMs you have ever tried on Redmi Note 10?
