Verizon XV6900 No Signal

[mwfielder]

Hoping to consolidate issues with reception after flashing new radios/ROMs on the VzW Vogues...

I ran a stock VzW Vogue for over a month--no issues. Decided to take the plunge and upgrade the device. Ran IMCokeMan's 2.31 unlocker, flashed the leaked Sprint ROM (didn't allow customizations), then ran OMJ's Verizon OEM ROM. All went well, but took forever to get signal (kept "searching...."). Eventually got signal. Activated it online, *228, option 1. That went through. But when it soft resetted (after successful activation), it takes forever to get signal again (like 30 min or so).

Reflashed same ROMs (leaked Sprint, OMJ's OEM Verizon). Same thing.

Then tried the Alltell ROM (to get 3.37.10 radio)....same thing. Flashed JD's hybrid ROM on top just to see if it helps. Nope.

So I have signal now, but if I soft reset...takes forever to lock on.

Anyone else had this issue? Any thoughts on how to fix it? What did I do wrong?
