Make sure you are using busybox 1.18.2 or lower.
If no init.d folder. Just make one using Root Explorer (or other file manager), run the supercharger script again, to make sure it worked check system/etc/init.d and you should have a "99supercharger"file. You should be good to go.

All of the sudden, these past 10 days or so I am having TERRIBLE 3g coverage. I've dialed *228 at a couple locations to update the towers. I'm in the same 2 or 3 places every single day and used to have no problems at all, but now it's 1g and plain sucks. Also sometime for whatever reason I can't connect to open wi fi even though the signal is listed as "good" Any idea what might be going on? I'm certainly not blaming the ROM in the slightest, but it's terribly frustrating to say the least and I'm not sure where to go for help. If I call Verizon and complain I'm afraid they'll do something and then determine I'm rooted.
Do you use a special app when connecting to wi fi? Perhaps I should use another app when using wi fi? Also one other frustrating thing is that if I'm out of range of the wi fi signal then come back into range I can't connect to the internet until I accept the user agreement again even though I might have done so 10 minutes prior. Under settings I have that location saved, so why do I have to keep accepting the wifi agreement?

I lost my 3g after dropping a call with a buddy of mine, a week ago last Friday and haven't seen it since. Like you, nothing I've done has made a difference.
1x or wifi only sucks for me, but my problem's different than yours. There's an issue with android and AES encryption used in WEP. TKIP/WPA OTOH, no problem (no problems with my work's network thankfully - shared WEP/PEAP/MSCHAPv2). At least that's what I read (after re-reading, broader than that it seems). I have no idea on open networks, sorry.
PS: I also place no blame whatsoever on the ROM for 3g or wifi issues. If I had to guess, the on/off behavior of Juice Defender did it in, though it's also an old phone and been through a lot. It's kind of weird, but my WiFi actually got worse at the same time. Maybe I just didn't use it enough at home to notice. While I have a great wifi connection, my phone always loses something and connections time out. Otter, you might could try one of the many wifi fixer apps available in response to the various wifi issues android phones have. After trying several of them, I've been using Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.6, a free app which reassociates with the access point when wifi is 'lost'. As expected, it eats up the battery a bit more. It helps me by reconnecting if I need, but I'm still looking for a better solution.

You shouldn't be getting any wifi agreement unless you're connecting to a network that requires one. Is it some page that pops up in the browser? If so, not much you can do about it, the network you are connecting to will force you to agree to their terms every time you re-connect.
Thanks. Yes I'm using a casino's wifi and that web page pops up asking me to agree to their terms whenever I come back into range

For battery, I'm sure leaving wifi off would be better; just toggle it on and off with the drop-down notification toggles.
There's also numerous options for auto-toggling. That's one of the main reasons I keep juice defender,it disables networks when I shut the screen off, or by location when using wifi.
Edit: correction, "AND by location...."

I'm pretty sure wifi uses less battery then 3g or 1x

I've heard a couple different places that wifi is better for battery life but I've never tested it myself. Either way though I think the difference is negligable

How'd they resolve it? I'll give them a call, I just don't have much hope.
Like otter, I tried updating towers, secondary towers, multiple times, at home and office. While my phone and my wife's non-rooted d1 haven't had identical coverage, I've never (knowingly) lost 3g for more than 15-30 minutes. She's not having any issues either. Not that any of that is proof it's just my phone, but it drives my assumptions.
