After painfully occupying my entire weekend getting my Incredible Rooted, the ONLY thing I did was add the WiFi Tether. That was my sole purpose in Rooting.
I did not remove anything. I did not change anything. ONLY loaded the WiFi tether.
Now, I have issues with my phone randomly rebooting.
My phone will show signal but fail to place or receive calls. "Call Failed"
Sometimes when a call comes in, the other side can hear me but I cannot hear them.
My internet connection is sketchy now, facebook photo uploads show success but are blank (red X box) when I or anyone tries to view them.
The Kingston 8GB MicroSD card I originally had in was blown an hour after rooting rendering it not even recognizable in any system (losing a ton of data which is fortunately backed up). Thank goodness for their lifetime warranty.
Finally, I have had to reboot the phone several times due to lock ups.
I did not have a single one of these issues before. WiFi Tether is handy but not worth it if this is the result.
Anyone else having issues Post-Root?

I have had a couple of slow downs and random reboots, but I chalked it up to setCPU and the fact that I have 200 applications installed, some of them old, with about 25 resident processes.
However, the phone is still 10x more reliable than my G1 was with the most reliable modded firmware and fewer programs. When I cross the bone stock/modded line, I know I'm on my own and stability losses aren't my biggest concerns.
Long story short, I have no answers for you, but without scrutinizing the su, busybox, symlink commands for sources of instability, I would venture that Wireless Tether is a prerelease, and earlier versions of it caused my G1 problems too!

Thanks, I may just end up removing it to see if it resolves my issues. Most have to do with my wireless radio so that makes sense. I didn't correlate the application to the hardware-like issues so I'll be mindful of that now.
Thanks for your 2 cents, it has earned interest.
i have noticed that my ringtone skips. when i listen to it in the settings, it sounds fine. but when someone calls, it sounds awful!!!!
Only issue I am having is with wifi, I have to manually go into settings and scan, after that it works fine.

I've had some black screens and phone freezes since root. I do have wi-fi tether and root explorer loaded.... but haven't used wi-fi tether
I've had 0 problems - dunno what you guys did wrong. I added superuser, wifi tethering, shootme, titanium backup, and lamppu, and like I said I haven't had a single problem.
I'm good...Haven't had any problems after root.....Except for the fact I can't get it back to recovery mode to make some more changes!!
I have not had Any issues after root. I installed WiFi tether and its working great, but I didn't change anything else. No slow downs, random restart, lockups, or anything of that nature. No negative impact at all. Did I just get lucky??

Also having issues here. My exchange email will no longer sync. Tried to recreate and always get 'failed to create account'. Had to switch to touchdown to get my mail... *shudder*
Had a few random reboots, but they were only when I was using root apps.

I was having rebooting and freezing up issues before root. Replaced the Sense launcher with Helix 2 and problems disappeared.
Been rooted for several days now with fairly heavy usage, and the phone has been VERY stable...
No new issues for me
Has always rebooted randomly about once a week but no worse, and use wifitether almost constantly.

same here. no problems at all.

if you want to know why it is rebooting, run logcat and wait for it to reboot. You will see what actually crashed in the log. If you don't want to troubleshoot then just use the ruu to put your phone back to stock. It will erase everything and you will have to root again, but it will fix your phone.
I had a random reboot this morning...dont really attribute it to root though because phone would occassionally do this anyways when signal is shaky. If it persists, I will check logcat and see whats the dealio. Other than that, so far loving having root with no problems, ready for the custom ROMS.
Oh I tried the Stericson busybox installer and get failed message. Installed upgraded busybox through titanium backup.
Suggestion
Not that anyone would really read down this far BUT if you are experiencing problems can you also please make sure to include ONE thing in your post:
DID YOU REMOVE ANYTHING?
I am guessing from the thread that people who didn't remove things aren't experiencing problems.
I haven't had any of the problems you've experienced let alone even heard of other people experiencing this. I'm almost certain you messed something up during the root process. Re-root the phone by following the 10 minute instruction video posted here on how to root and everything should be fine.

Wonder how many would run that OTA right away...
So I was doing some lightweight streaming this morning while riding the bus to campus, and then I get absolutely no signal. I thought I just went into a low signal area, but after airplane mode, reboot, taking sim out, etc, my phone shows "unknown" for baseband.
Unfortunately, I was not able to get any logs, nor did I have a flashable radio from recovery.
I was wondering if anyone had any issues like this? I've gotten a flash able radio and am going to try that.
Rom: AOKP b37
Radio: uglc1 w/ matching ril.
Kernel: stock faux AOKP kernel
Edit: nope, radio flashing did nothing. Is this a hardware issue that needs a warranty replacement?
Edit: my power menu says airplane mode is on, but settings menu disagrees. Also, I can't reset my google wallet stuff.. yay...

Here's the log of my modem crashing:

Thanks for the links. I've looked through, but they all seem to have a point where signal comes back, mine however doesn't even get to a point where it can initialize the SIM and recognize there is a SIM card.
My error message is from dmesg within the phone itself.
here's the logcat:
http://pastebin.com/AHGdFAmr
The one issue i continue to see if nv.log:
"/data/radio/nv_data.bin does notexist!"
eve though that file IS in /data/radio AND has the correct file permissions.
Clearing it out of /data/radio and deleting all the stuff from /factory and letting the phone rebuild it does nothing. Fastboot DOES see the radio though.
For as long as I've had my gnex I have this problem with Wi-Fi connections. The issue seems somewhat ROM/kernel related. The issue is that WiFi takes an incredibly long time to do anything. Such as the play market where it may take it 2 to 3 minutes after selecting download to actually start. This same problem affects other app usage as well. It does not affect browser usage however. This problem is prevalent almost across the board no matter the ROM/kernel setup. Some ROMs do work great no problems but I do not necessarily like these ROMs. If anyone has any suggestions or knows what I'm talking about and can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

At first it seemed like an issue with the phone app in the Euroskank cyanogenmod 10.2 builds constantly force closing, causing a temporary loss in cellular connectivity as a result. But now I'm experiencing this issue with non-cyanogenmod ROMs as well. I never had this issue with 4.2.2 ROMs, so I'm pretty it isn't a hardware issue I'm experiencing. Basically, the phone app crashes periodically, even when the phone is idle, and sometimes it causes me not to be able to receive texts for hours at a time (which for me is unusual due to the fact that I receive hundreds of them throughout the day from Twitter). Any idea what might be causing this and how I might be able to fix it?

Me too after flashing with PA ROM/Faux Kernel, not able to send/receive SMSs. Using 4.3
I can send but i cant receive, but if i send it, the one that has to get it doesn't get it..
After many hours working wifi stops to connect. Restart or toggle airplane mode fixes the issue. I've seen wifi related changes in changelogs but so far nothing has changed that behavior on my device.
All I wonder is if it's only my device or many devices. In my case it's Moto Z (Griffin)

I use wifi on during sleep only when plugged in. My home network has hidden ssid. I can't really pinpoint any specific time or reason why this happens. Seems to happen randomly with the only factor being time (and perhaps device).
I've provided logs in official device specific thread.

Using "Keep wifi on during sleep" as "always" seems to help so far. I've got a few people claiming to have same issues on other devices too.
Really hope to figure out the cause of the issue.

Stil working perfectly. Returning to the preferred setting probably makes the issue return within 24h as it previously have done.
