Is LTE+/LTE-A the same thing as 5Ge?

mikedt said:
So "5GE" is really just AT&T's and Cricket's bullshit marketing term for 4G+ (LTE Advanced).

Doesn't the US have laws against deceptive advertising?

The U.S. carriers can just make up a term like "5g+" or whatever. How they define it is in the "small print" of the contract.
Deceptive? Yes most definitely .

Illegal? Unfortunately no

I might have installed some new apps recently, yes, although I did check that they should be having a proper rating in Google Apps. Is Adguard a trust able app?

A 'proper' rating?

Google is the largest supplier of adware and malware apps on Android. I literally look for my apps anywhere else first.

Google Play Store won't allow any real ad-blocking apps, as they violate Google's business model.
That pretty much says everything about Google.

You got that right!! Facebooks unethical business practices costs them a 5 billion dollar fine. Im guessing they made a hell of alot more than that harvesting our data. My question is we the costumes are the victims and yet wheres are compensation? Who keeps that 5 billion? No restitution for us thats for sure.

I installed it with odin, everything went well and he said yes if I wanted to finish root I said yes and then the screen gets purple and enters loop

Did you let TWRP flash root or did you actually use the install function to flash a root.zip file? If you let TWRP flash the root binaries on its own accord, I suspect that is what caused the issues you experiencing now. It happens all to often.
I have a rooted N4 n910p.
Another suggestion is make sure your installing the correct custom recover for your device and carrier.
If there are 2 options .tar and tar.sec most people use the .tar .
Download the latest version and if that doesn't work reflash your firmware, reboot and flash a lower version TWRP .tar.
Good luck

Note 10 battery Life

svim said:
Just want to point out that whenever comparing older devices with newer ones, there's a lot of trade-offs involved -- newer gadgets will hopefully be more optimized and efficient but conversely things like larger, higher resolution displays and faster, multi-core CPUs and GPUs will tax any battery a lot harder. But not knowing just what kind of phone a 'Taccone' is, it's hard to compare its specs with a Note 10 Plus. If that Taccone did have similar capabilities and hardware specs as your Note 10 Plus, than yes doing a direct battery life comparison between the two applies. If it's instead something similar to just an old flip-phone, than such direct comparisons involve two very different categories of devices -- they may both be 'phones' but the former has a limited feature-set by design (requires little battery power), the latter has a constantly growing feature-set on top of faster, bigger hardware (requires much more power).
