I do.

It happened to me. I had a half finished update for a couple of months.

My CDMA was E007
My LTE was E015
My baseband however was still the original EA029.

The problem I think (everything I'm saying right now is mostly like garbage, but right now, I'm feeling like Dumbledore at the end of a Harry Potter book so bear with me) is those of us who flashed Basix with half borked (lawls K0) phones because of a failed update were experiencing issues with basix other's just weren't.

Mine after a flash gone wrong, suddenly had the same CDMA/LTE situation as you. We may have had the update with our antennas but something about the baseband not being properly updated seems to have made it unstable.

I bet you if others were as adventurous (i.e. Complete idiots) about flashing our phones as you and I had been, we may have run into a lot more problem than we did.


***Clarifying if you wound up with the same antennas as Me I'm will to bed you flashed something just as silly as me. NOT BASIX.
 
i ot the replacement and it works fine my 4g is still on and it works great so if you guys are having any problms just get a replacement if you are still under warr:D
 
How do you know if you are under warranty and if you go and tell them you need a replacement will it cost? My 4g sometimes well 85% works on the web it sometimes says no data connection even when I'm in a good. 4g area and I can't even download music from my music downloaders using my 4g anymore wich sux major donkey nutz and for some reason my battery dies quiker I had this rom for nearly a month now any suggestions anyone
 
You are under a one year warranty from Samsung since the date you bought the phone.
Of course, rooting "voids" your warranty. So make sure you are not rooted if you take it in for servicing/replacement! *cough*ODIN*cough*

Woah, its not Basix, i am pretty sure.

MetroPCS has been having 4g service outages lately, i know that they have had a regional service outage for 4g that lasted approximately 4 days STRAIGHT in my area (yes metro told me directly after numerous inquiries that they were working on their systems). this means you have to switch to CDMA for a while (1x). The 4g coverage will resume in a day or so.

Also, make sure your HOME SID is 6503 (which is the default national SID). use the ##626* programming with access code 587846 to get through the SPC code check then edit and just type 6503 directly when you get to the HOME SID section.. hitting OK after you do so or hitting done (one or the other) will reboot your phone and refresh it on the towers.

Are we sure this is correct? Is this up to date? Because my SID is 5109. Should I update it to 6503? I have been having CDMA problems lately (can't make/receive phone calls nor txt messages).

Edit: NVM, when I went into the programming menu as stated above, it did show my SID as 6503. It only shows 5109 when I go to Settings->About phone->Status. Weird. But I am assuming the latter is just an error / typo or something?
 
For what it's worth, the problem loosing 4G on the indulge is NOT hardware related. If you have a nandroid backup of your stock rom before installing basix, restoring that back up fixes the 4G. There is no need to exchange the phone @ metro. I have TWICE now installed basix, lost 4g and got the infamous LTE 'unkown" in settings / about phone/ baseband version .. and both times I have successfully restored my nandroid back up to my rooted phone with stock rom and fixed the LTE issue.
 
And if you have the problem and a restore fixes it, clearly something else is at play (and it's not the ROM, that's long, long been disspelled - this problem has been happening since April). Try other troubleshooting steps first.

And you are wrong. I have confirmed this to be a hardware problem on my Indulge. Not even an Odin restore to the factory ROM can revive my radio, it is toast. When this problem first starts to manifest you can restore the LTE radio by re-flashing a ROM, however over time the radio will completely die. You can also enable airplane mode and then disable it to get 1x/3G connectivity.
