lol i guess u went thru some hassle to root 257..
while there're much more hassle to be went thru to root 290 XD
btw 290 is android 4.3 version

nope i dun think so.. to root 290 u need custom recovery, and to install custom recovery u only need root access.. dun need to unlock bootloader inm..

yea dont need to unlock bootloader.. only to mod kernel only need that i think..

If this is true then i think we dun need to wait for the OTA already

because it is micro-coated from within for waterproof purpose, same goes to the speaker and that's why our speaker is not as powerful as others..

edit:
some of the phone had water damage might be due to manufacturer defect..
better start with a small test to make sure that ur phone is really working instead of when it's really needed to be waterproof only u found that its actually defect

anyway, its quite fun when ur frens say that their phones are dirty need to wipe and i just wash my phone XD

hahaha too lazy

Easiest way, Setting > More > Mobile networks > Network Mode, you should have LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM

Any possibility its because of Location-based wifi?
