Thank you , I had a feeling it was eliminated when I couldn't find it I'm going to send a mail to Dji and ask them about this and see what they say about it , I'll post their reply when I get it
RTH Low Battery warning ?
- Thread starter lickitysplit11111

It's in the aircraft battery settings, latest iOS app update.
Weird, I'm using an iPhone 6+ with the latest 4.1.7 go4 update. It's always been there unless yours is under some sort of advanced settings option in the battery section?
My recollection is DJI removed the ability to turn off smart RTH. That's dumb IMO. This is the reason I don't upgrade software unless there's a compelling reason, DJI likes to surprise us without notification.
Well the option for me is still there, always has been.
Latest iOS 4.1.7 go4 app, flying a P4. Not a P4P but I would assume since the app is the same for both, same options?
Im still on android v 4.1.3 and 1.8.0 ,yes looks like some have been able to keep and some are loseing it,i like to keep updated but all sorts of issues across the board seem to be going on after firmware is done,once again luck of the draw 
I noticed that in your original post, and understand the additional features such as the sensors with the P4P, the better camera etc, but your unit having the larger capacity battery, can further than a standard P4, the option to disable the smartRTH would still be there. Obviously I'm mistaken.
Just finished digging around on the forum and yes the smartRTH feature has been removed from the P4P a little while back. Apparently, the feature is switched on and you cannot access it to deactivate it, some folk are reporting it is affecting autonomous flights in Litchi and normal FPV flying. May stick with my P4 for a while yet, not ready to have a mission interrupted mid way and put up with the unexpected.
Yep long gone and no reason given. Causes many issues...No more missions of any distance. Having it kick in while in the middle of a shot etc etc.
Hi yip found your post from ages ago while trying to find a anwser for this ,hope you not mind me postin it

Yep, confirmed, you can only turn off RTH with loss off signal, selecting another choice.
I went out this morning and emptied three batteries an there seems to be no method to the pop-ups two I received while having 60-70 % remaining and one while still having 75% remaining so I don't know, but something weird happened in between battery changes I leave the controller on but shut the drone off during battery changes but on one battery change the drone behaved like it was in Beginner mode limiting my Vertical and Horizontal distance I was allowed to fly from the Home Point so I landed and shut both the controller and copter off restarted and was then allowed to fly like normal , and yes I checked inside the menu and I was not in Beginner mode.
Set a new distance record for me too 13,200 ft. 5.8 Custom channel works much better for me , 5.8 Auto starts getting choppy after a mile
I'm gonna go try tomorrow again I got the itch to bust 3 mi.

The beginners mode, may well be due to a battery that is not yet updated.I went out this morning and emptied three batteries an there seems to be no method to the pop-ups two I received while having 60-70 % remaining and one while still having 75% remaining so I don't know, but something weird happened in between battery changes I leave the controller on but shut the drone off during battery changes but on one battery change the drone behaved like it was in Beginner mode limiting my Vertical and Horizontal distance I was allowed to fly from the Home Point so I landed and shut both the controller and copter off restarted and was then allowed to fly like normal , and yes I checked inside the menu and I was not in Beginner mode.

Probably updated, but had to reboot to set.
Still, the intelligent battery, can do odd things. I was even told that my battery with 3 functioning lights, could be do to that. But, when I installed the DJI Assistant, I aborted the install, unregistered drivers! Sorry but if you won't pay to have drivers tested, I don't install them. So I will just yyse Go 4, it upsates fine.
Custom channel doesn't vary your bit rate like AUTO does, you have to choose the preferred bit rate. What you're seeing I think is the radio switching settings from 10mbps to a lower rate as you get farther away, momentarily appearing as a choppy feed. Choosing 4mbps for your custom channel will provide the best overall stability and range for the video feed. It could be slightly less crystal clear on the display, but it's adequate for monitoring purposes and should provide less drop-outs during flight.Set a new distance record for me too 13,200 ft.
