Recent modifications to my phone:
Unlocked using HardSPL
Flashed Mighty Rom
Flashed Stock Rom

Would unlocking cause a side effect like this?

Thanks.
Nope, you should be good to go. Couple things to do

1. make sure to update prl and profile. this sometimes corrects the issue right from the get go.
2. if you have another sprint phone at home, check the connection on it. this confirms whether you are just having a network issue with sprint. if so, call tech support and report the outage. they may ask you to hard reset but if you know two devices have poor connection, than this shouldnt be required. Have them check the tower in your area for data.

at least 3 times a year my coverage drops considerably and I always call them and complain. couple days later it usually comes back but it usually need to call them a couple times to report the issue. oddly enough, most times I called they did recognize a network issue at my tower so its of value to call then.
