Appropriate ROM is experience based

Yeah I'm very convinced.
Never kept record of SOT because I'm already pissed with the battery performance.

10% draining in less then 2mins on standby isn't cool, I even had to format the phone yet symptoms still persist.

Worst is once I put on the phone, battery immediately starts draining in seconds
I'll advise you to open a dispute. Return item with full refund or keep item with partial refund.
That should be your biz with the seller. You've been able to establish a defect in the item. Prove it to Aliexpress to win the dispute. Don't be tempted to change the battery before dispute. kiss

Wow.. you boot a phone after purchasing it, instead of you to just charge directly so that all these problems won't have occurred
Fallacy, all these talk na wetin ppl use take dey deceive ppl after seller fake batteries for them, dem go always blame you for not charging the phone for 8 hours. I have bought so many phones including Tecno and Infinix and never ever charged before using.

@Emboldened, Guy you just put fear for my body now shocked

Interesting.. Price is quite different.. I felt maybe the note 4x was an upgrade to the note 4
So only difference is the network band

All international ROMs have relatively equal OTA update abilities and customizations. A ROM is seen as being better by it having fewer bugs and being battery friendly

Well am not trying to be oversabi, i have used some tecno and infinix phones in which i always on and completely drain the battery before charging, since it as always be the norms of every new phone users to Always charge their phone first before using them make me to be cautious of all these international phones that doesn't have a carlcare stand in Nigeria, cause i don't want any scenario whereby i will be having some kind of battery problem with them and people will be like, why didn't you charged the phone before using or i should be giving myself unnecessary headache complaining to the seller about my new phone issues, so i don't have that enough mojo to be stressing all these kind of phones.

What you have been doing has no effect on a battery, this is a chemical process, even the battery was not manufactured by the phone maker and phone was tested in factory before dispatch. There are also factory defects for batteries, because they are mass produced, so if you like, take 100% caution, once you lay your hands on a defective battery, there is nothing you can do about it.

if yes, pls share some pictures, if No can someone that can get both devices help with the comparison... Tnx Xiaomites
I awaits your reply
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Nobody: 11:49am On Aug 31, 2017
Perhaps peeps should hold on the ordering of items for now especially when the shipping is through Singapore post until there are confirmed reports of fast delivery. Since it is no longer two weeks after purchase,anyone wanting to order should prepare his or her mind for a 3week to 1 month delivery. If you know that you truly cannot wait that long then don't bother ordering at all. And people spreading the word about xiaomi phones through Aliexpress should always let people know that the delivery will be 3 weeks plus so that their minds are prepared. You can't receive insults over issues that are no fault of yours.

I seriously wonder what the fuss is all about. I have been buying stuffs from aliexpress for a long time now and I can tell you that on the average, shipping takes 3-4 weeks to get here.
And it usually takes 1 week from ordering for seller to ship and update your tracking status.

If you it happens that you get your goods in 2 weeks, it's a plus, but it's not the norm.

You guys are just giving yourself unnecessary hypertension.

Some people will start disturbing seller anyhow when an estimated time frame is already stated for each stage.

Most sellers will just get tired of Nigerians and stop shipping here. Our wahala too much. We no get patience at all

If you want your goods faster, there are shipping companies you can use or you pay for dhl

@bolded do you think they do us any favour by shipping down to Nigeria?
I am aware of the terms and conditions of shopping in Ali, but some sellers takes advantage of that to buy time for their self knowing very well that they don't have those items in store, for that reason, I will never complain because I will end up dishing them some bad rating. I placed and order and the seller after tagging 10days shipping on it (which I am very much aware), he went ahead to delay shipping for another 10days making it 20days without any explanation, and you say one should be happy about that?

Note: I am not a new buyer in Ali wink so, I am not in anyway clamouring for my parcel to arrive in 2weeks, but what I am saying is that some sellers deliberately do things knowing very well that you have little options available.

My advise for new buyers is that, you either buy through CBN governors here, if you cannot handle some cunny sellers or use Alipocket incase of cancelation and quick refund.
