I know I have to take it back to Metro, I have had the phone less than a month, so sad. I hope the metro corporate store does not give me any issues with my return. I need a phone ASAP and I cannot wait for one to come in or be mailed. So upset no 4g signal and I did not do anything crazy to my phone, the back just got really hot, the internet froze it rebooted by itself and bam the baseband became unknown.

whyyyyy samsung...sorry so upset because i loved this phone.

Update: Took it to metro first thing this morning at a corp store, at first the lady at the counter tried to insist it is a boot error and tried to do a software reset, I explained after reading samsung forums I have tried to factory wipe 3 seperate times and the phone is less than a month old. She went and spoke to a man handling phone returns and he explained to her there were issues with some samsung phones and verified the baseband is unknown on ee07... so I have to wait until friday to get my replacement phone. Hope it doesnt happen again....

 

battery date 7 23 2011 i wonder if the authorized reseller did an OTA update on my phone before I picked it up. he had it opened and out of the box charging when I picked it up. When I picked it up the cdma was ee07 and lte ed15

 

Shows the same day I got it as activation...however the guy was a little shady only one opened thanksgiving
