Anyway to optimise phone or settings to improve battery life?
buy additional battery

am not trying to troll you; when i'm out and about, find it refreshing to be able to swap battery, and instantly get 100% again

the empty battery can then be charged with the redmi note battery charger using a powerbank; can put this inside bag [but don't bury it under tonnes of stuff lah; charging produces heat]

no need to bother with usb cables tethered to the phone

May I know how you do this?

Another problem is when I try to on any video clips of people posted on a thread in hardwarezone, my phone screen is black and it keeps trying (ie. the round circle thing shows its running) but it cannot play.
Open gmail app, then add account.

The app do support yahoo mail

Finally managed to revert back to v5 with the massive help of xiaomi's online chat support yesterday. Phew. It was complicated and there were hiccups along the way but luckily got them and the YouTube link posted by AMAT here. Thank you AMAT.

Review after downgrade:
1. Yahoo mail notification is coming in albeit a little slow (not immediate) but I can live with this! :)
2. Sent a few testing emails and so far the emails are going out and not sitting in my Draft folder.
3. I feel internet is faster. Tested by clicking on same page on my xiaomi and Samsung note 2. On v6, definitely loading was slower compared to my note 2 but now its more or less the same.
4. Definitely improvement in WiFi strength. When on v6, I cannot receive WiFi signal in my bedroom. Need to use my mobile data. But now, I get some signal so I can use internet on my bed though slower only.

Now only thing is after revert to v5, the original Browser (icon is a 'B') is gone. I asked the chat support. She said yes. So I am using Chrome instead. But I prefer the Browser for some features. Anyone knows if can download again? I cannot find it on Play store. Oh yes... After revert to v5, need to download your own Playstore again but the chat support said download all apps in Google Installer (24 of them!). So I downloaded but just wondering I don't, will it affect the performance (thinking of deleting the unused apps to make space).

great to hear that you managed to solve the problems faced. Re: apps, you can uninstall those that you don't need.

Re: browser, i like firefox for android, as i can use the adblock plus plugin; plus adobe flash is supported

GMAIL app is able to support any email accounts from other providers via IMAP or POP3. Just add your Yahoo account into the GMAIL app by adding account (use IMAP) . You see if the notification is better for you this way or not.

adblock plus blocks out most of the annoying pop-up ads and other advertising banners on websites
https://adblockplus.org/

can be installed on desktop browsers [chrome, firefox, opera, IE, etc] or mobile browser [firefox android]

I just bought the existing redmi note 4g just 1 week ago. Does it differences alot? Did I bought at the wrong time?
The difference is only the addition of dual SIM that supports 4G and a newer 64bit Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor.
However, the current released is only for China Mobile's 4G network, the one that's compatible with SG's 4G network is the China Unicom 4G variant.

Hi guys, u know when u want to open a file and there is a option popup saying "complete action using..." and u choose which app to open it with, but now I have chosen "remember this choice" using one of the apps already, but how do I go back to having that option of being able to choose again?

Also I'm not getting any notifications from my wechat and line apps, but I don't have that problem with whatsapp, does anyone have this problem too? I've already enabled custom notifications in app info, but nothing shows up until I open the app then I saw the updates there.

U mean under "settings - installed apps" right? I don't mean just those main apps, but I mean for any apps choices that might popup, and if after we have chosen an app to be that permanent choice, I don't know where to change that choice again.

what kind of info?

contacts just use google acc
ams use sms backup
apps also from google but data are not saved unless u root.
photos use manual transfer to pc unless you do cloud.

there's hardly any perfect way to transfer unless same brand model using their software
