Ok.  So I ran into a serious issue and it most likely has something to do with the 3G radio.

Here's what happened.  Phone was down to about 15% batteries after some Youtube and Angry birds.  I was at my folks place and the cell signal there is not as strong, but still a bar showing.  I noticed the phone was quite warm, but thought nothing of it since I was using Youtube/Angry birds.  Check a few emails and noticed the batters quickly dropping to 12% within a few minutes and noticed Battery Status Monitor was reporting 990mA draw.  I was alarmed, but didn't think too much about it and went to have dinner with the folks.

about 30/40 min later after dinner.  The battery was dead.  Didn't have my charger with me, so I didn't plug in for another couple of hours until I got home.  Plugged in, booted up, everything was fine, except it would not connect to cell service stating "No Service".  I then tried a bunch of things, rebooting, swapping out the battery, swapping out the SIM, but no avail.  Swapping the same SIM to my old HTC works fine and connects on AWS 3G network.

This morning I tried another SIM that not on AWS, and it connects (assuming on 2G/EDGE network).  Swap back in my original SIM and back to "No Service" (my provider only has 3G AWS service).

So at this point, I'm pretty convinced I have a hardware problem so I restore the stock Froyo ROM to return my phone...then magically, I'm back alive on the 3G AWS network!

Someone tell me what's going on!

I haven't tried to reflash CM7 again.  Quite frankly I'm quite scared this may not be hardware problem and maybe a software issue instead, and may be stressing the 3G radio.

Help!

I have some issue with 3G but not the same : sometime I don't have 3G and I have to disable and enable a few time to have it back.

As for you, you should try factory reset. Maybe you forgot to set the 3G parameters (ip destination etc) ? Try to disable / enable.
