I have found that my service isnt quite what it used to be upon rooting and putting on slidevillain. I updated the phone with the newest radio patch as per instructions, but it still seems not too great. I used to have full service at home, but now seem to have a quarter of what it once was....any thoughts on this?
 
There's a tip that has been going round to improve battery life on 2.1 ROMs. But as well as better battery life I found my signal improved quite a lot. Give it a try:

Type *#*#4636#*#* into the phone app, and a menu pops up. Pick the first option, Phone Info, then find the dropdown menu that says WCDMA prefered and change it to GSM auto (Prl).
