I have had 3G turn off randomly a couple times, as well as having some connectivity issues.

No, that's another known issue still. I thought it had been too, but I read a couple days ago in the Dev thread that it was still an issue. I haven't noticed it though.
Exactly what i experienced.
Got a link to this build? I don't see it in the dev thread.
There is a link in the OP in Jboxen's thread for his tweak zip file...you'd flash it after flashing CM7GB. And I'd recommend applying option 9 in V6 supercharger as well...

Accidental Observation
I am on vacation and decided that I couldn't live with my terrible battery life I was getting on CM7 froyo. Phone would lose a full charge in under 24 hours even if left idle! If being used I could only get a few hours at best. So, I decided to try going to CM7 Gingerbread,hoping that the battery life might be better.
I flashed the GB leak to get back on the right Kernal and ran into a major problem where I couldn't activate my phone due to my location outside of Verizon coverage! (Impossible per Verizon rep) Anyway, to make a long story short, I decided to try to restore a back up I had made a few months ago of Liberty GB to see if maybe it would automatically fix my radio since I couldn't do it the traditional way.
I got Liberty GB restored but the radio still was a no go so, as a last ditch effort I called Verizon again and what do you know, they walked me through manual activation and I was up and running!
Anyway, the point of all this is to highlight an observation made during this adventure. When I was on CM7 Froyo I had a weak/no 3G signal here in the cabin and only one or two bars of reception. As soon as I got Liberty GB running I had full 3G and full bars of reception!!! All of this was observed sitting in the same seat so I know it had nothing to do with my location. Also, I was able to lock on to the neighbors WIFI from anywhere in the cabin where, with CM7 Froyo I could sort of get it but would drop it constantly.
I don't know how this is possible but can say with 100% certainty that my phone gets far better reception on Liberty GB than it did on CM7 Froyo.

Gingerbread has an updated radio (.10p) and obviously different kernel, the new radio is most likely to be at the root of your improvements.
What do you mean by "manual activation?"

do we have a nightly log of changes? or is it the same as the froyo nightlies?
I went ahead and did a clean install of the 8-29 nightly from Rev. I will monitor and see if I continue having issues.

No such luck, I was able to restore my liberty GB back up but it didn't activate the phones radioI guess I'm SOL...
Damn bro...I'm sorry to hear that..mainly just wanted you to be able to use the phone at least as a wifi device..lol Hope you find a tower and maybe since your phone is out of service but you have your system working, try *228 and option 2 and in settings make sure your set to roam...you may incur charges..hope this helps...
