Also have a D801 / T-mobile and it has been a great phone.

Very good battery life here, but I am careful with managing the screen back light and adjusting it to deal with the ambient light conditions (not brighter than I need it to be).
2.How is the custom ROM choices for this phone?

Are you aware that you may have phone with cheap, chinese display, for example?

How's that

Key word: refurbished. Unless you are 100% sure it's from manufacturer.

So how do I tell?

The phone is great, battery life is not that good though(stock lollipop). Also the device kida heats.

Try Aicp Rom current getting 6-9 hours SOT over day and a half usage.
Marshmallow so up to date as well

which kernel is the best...

Im new here soo i dont know which kernel is best for performamce nd battery, Green Apple, duki994, or the stock one...presently im in xtrestolite..
It all depends on your personal preferences.
Stock provides the best stability and performance with good battery life. But if you want to try, go for Boeflla Kernel.

Try stock, GreenApple v1 and Duki mms v1.9 beta kernel each for a week
Which ever you feel it's good use it
Because each has their own settings and battery life and performance will vary
So I recommend you to try all three each for a period of one week

I have not tested Duki kernel fully yet so can't give it's feedback

This is my battery usage from two different instances, battery life has been very good to me on Nougat, however a week ago or so I had to factory reset my phone because "media server" drained my battery very quickly. These screenshots are made after that factory reset.

No unfortunately not. But after a factory reset it never came back in such a huge way, before the factory reset it suddenly appeared on top in the usage list with 45% usage, dropping my phone's battery from 90% to 40% in less than 1 hour.
My settings aren't really special, I only use sync when my phone is charging (regular charging, I don't ever use fast charging), I don't use AOD, Location or NFC, and I have disabled pretty much everything that can be disabled through the phone itself, without using a package disabler. Also, my screen resolution is on 720P.
I love the batterylife on my s7 edge with 7.0 btu. It's way better then mm

Official 8.1 is smooth and great battery life

Just got the official 8.1 system update yesterday from the Android beta program on my pixel xl 128gb. It seems to be running smooth no errors so far.
It sure is, except it broke the most useful feature I have, the ability to edit APN. This in turn kills unlimited hotspot with mobile.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Waiting for this. Someone pls share! Very curious how power efficient sd 675 is compared to 660
Great screen on time.
I got around 8hrs of screen on time :victory: . Don't have the screenshot at the moment though. After the recent update all the bugs are solved except the most annoying one... :crying: The earpiece cracking sound on call. Xiaomi confirmed me that they will surely going to solve the issue within a week but don't really know when they really will.

Ty!
Here is the screenshot. :good: :laugh:
Here's mine.
Its a battery beast as well.

Here's mine..
Ty all! Looks like it can average 8-10hrs on moderate/heavy usage and 10+ on light like most of its predecessors except with a noticeably way better gpu. Probably the perfect mid range soc that most users can be satisfied with
Screen on time is only 7 hour in normal use and also high ideal drain (restricted all app in background also).

Battery recommendations? Does it need to be the battery for my exact model?

I noticed on eBay batteries for the Note 4 list compatible models for each battery. Are batteries for all Note 4 variants interchangeable? Or do I need to get one for my specific model? My phone is the SM-N910V model.
I'm in Canada and not looking for one of those big batteries. Just the stock/oem battery.
Personally, i would go for ravpower brand battery. on amazon too and there is for your model

Damn. I forgot about the Ravpower batteries. I had to run out and stop the garbage truck so I could snatch my phone out of the trash. I thought it was a goner. Just ordered a Ravpower from Amazon and saved my phone in time. :good:

Lol I wouldn't be able to trash a phone, it will come back and haunt me. I know you have an LG now but how was the battery and what customisations did you do to improve battery life?
I got a ravpower battery few days ago but need some help with tweaking kernel settings etc to improve battery life as it is not that good.
Tried these optimisers like FDE and LKT but no luck, haven't tested LKT properly though as an update for FDE came out that should've fixed the CPU/GPU turbo boost thing.
Also, I don't care about gaming like PUBG (although I like it :laugh: )
Thanks for your previous advice/help and now of course.
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
You know what I think it's doing 10x better without optimiser thing. 10% lost by browsing on xda for 40min. Might be speaking too early.
Definitely still interested in changing some things around to improve it so please hit me with the facts/guides/tutorials/walkthroughs??!

Of course that wasn't a true story. Hah. I would never toss my "baby".
I haven't played with it much since but I ended up getting the Ravpower for it. It was cheap and arrived promptly. I used Kernel Audiutor for it and it's set to whatever the default is.
I can say I have gotten at least 90 more mins of SOT and more than a week of standby. Maybe even more. I'll power it up sometime soon and check Battery Bot.
Screenshot of my standby time. My OST is only ten mins at this point tho since this is no longer my daily driver.

Wow I actually believed it, was gonna ask if you tossed it at the bottom of a pretty much empty bin or... but it's getting emptied so must be full unless you did it earlier haha. Because I was wondering about the damage that may have occurred if this actually happened (from throwing it in the bin and then truck). How the hell would you find your phone just laying on top of all the trash in the garbage truck?!?! Now it makes sense that that's not true. I am really dumb:cyclops:
OK now I got that out of my head are you saying that kernel auditor automatically configures some things without you adjusting anything in the app? Because I didn't know that. Also what you mean by Battery Bot?
I don't think it does that unless you picked a standard configured profile that kernel auditor gives you based on device or something (not someone else's log configuration file or whatever you call it)
But like I said I don't know my kernel stuff... take your time I'm in no rush after all all of this is free and out of kindness which is something I really appreciate from XDA (or even the internet in general (duh))

I can confidently say I will get between 4-5hr SOT compared to trash SOT before (min 2hr max 4hr suprisingly, probably less intensive use)
On average 4.5 hours at least

I joke around often. Battery Bot is a great battery tool. I put the widget for it on my home screen and check it now and again to see how much approximate SOT I have left, how long it's been on standby, etc.
