Is anyone else running into issues where the data connection is being shut down when the phone is streaming data? For example, when listening to TuneIn Radio, it shuts out shortly after the screen turns off. I've looked in the Mobile Network settings and don't see anything about enabling always on data.
Are you streaming over 3G or wifi? If it's wifi, then go into settings>>wireless&networks>>wifi_settings then press your menu key and select advance. Check the wifi sleep policy, it's probably set to When Screen Turns Off (that's the default setting for Android).
VM cuts my 3g data service in and out randomly. It usually starts back up pretty quick, but apps (or linux programs) which get uppity about dropped data connections tend to malfunction.
If I remember correct (can't find the link this early), there is a small drop-off below 480. But the important findings from the testing done by mmarz was that there is no appreciable battery savings from attempting to undervolt by underclocking on the OV.

Sorry I should have mentioned that it was over 3g. Still running into it today. The Wifi sleep policy is set to never. I did find that if I put the phone in wifi hotspot mode, it'll keep the 3g data connection from being dropped and I can stream radio stations that way. Maybe it's a TuneIn Radio issue? I'll see if the same thing happens with other apps.
EDIT: Checked iHeartRadio and Google Music app as well to see if they suffered from the same issue and they do. After the stream cuts out, I can hit any button to get the screen to turn on and I can see that the 3G icon in the status bar is gone. When I unlock the phone, the 3G icon comes back and re-establishes a data connection. I'll continue with the Wifi hotspot for now, but obviously it would be nice to have this fixed.

Just to clarify on this issue, the lowest speed (for lowest voltage) it can go is 600mhz correct?
Lowest possible clock in the CM settings is 122 Mhz. While undervolting doesn't work on the OV, there's still the linear relationship between frequency and power use, (122 mhz uses 1/4 the power of 480 mhz for CPU only). Keep in mind that a phone's power use comes from other components too, LCD, radio, sensors, speakers, haptic feedback motors. So 1/4 of lets say 40% of CPU power is a reduction of only 10% on the whole system by going to 122 Mhz minimum from 480 Mhz. Turning down brightness, sensors off, volume, haptic feedback can also help.

Are you using juicedefender or any other battery saver app? If so, you need to either disable them when your using TuneIn Radio or whitelist the app your using.

Good call. Can't believe I didn't think to try that. I'll give that a shot and proceed to feel like a total moron if that's the issue.
Hey jerry, i think youll appreciate this. I recently got the wildfire S with GB stock. Guess what i found then deodexed. Please try this to see if it works, its the ported activation app, this will mean people can activate from your ROM, no switch back awesome huh? and im also attaching the swype that comes with the phone, lots of people seem to hate the beta

Thank you, I will test it out and report back ( fingers crossed )
That's the first I've heard of that, but then I tend to be a little oblivious.... It would be nice to not need a dedicated task manager.
I haven't used a task manager in a long time since I realized there wasn't really a difference and also because everyone said not to . Jerry mentioned the long press back button on XDA so assuming he uses his own build and not someone elses, there should be this feature.
I am really hopeing it works too that would be awesome if it did. If you get any errors PM me, i have some .jars all deodexed, that may also be required I know swype will work though, its a really cool version too
Well, I guess I shouldn't say "need", I know task managers aren't as useful as they once were. I still keep one on hand for apps that hang and such. I use it more like a Windows user would, my phone has plenty of ram. I usually have about 220mb available.

Give Watchdog a try. It sits in the background and will alert you if any apps misbehave (eat too much CPU), then it will give you the option to force close the misbehaving app.
I used to use Watchdog, but GrooveIP kept setting it off. It would alarm in the middle of phone calls, right in my ear. It had to go. Of course, that was several updates ago (for both Backside and GrooveIP) so it might not be an issue anymore. I prefer task managers that let me switch between running apps and kill apps manually, as opposed to the automatic ones. I'm a little neurotic about being the one in control of my gadgetry.

Watch dog let's you set it to only run when tell it to. I open it up then select live when I'm lagging just to see what is doing it. Quick off topic, seeing as your also on backside what do you have your grooveip settings at? I can't seem to get it right.
I've enabled audio processing, synchronize voice, audio routing, partial wake lock, and high perf wifi lock. Works great at home (on wifi) and at least passable on 3G. This is one of my MUST haves, 300 minutes isn't a lot with family out of state, and my son due to be born within the next three weeks!

You sure we're talking about the same app? Watchdog doesn't auto kill apps, and I don't think there's even an option in there to do that. Watchdog will only alert you if an app is eating too much of your phones cpu... which theoretically should allow you to force close an app before it gets to the point of where it would hang or reset your phone. Once that cpu starts getting eaten up like that by an app, the phone's gonna get hot.
Edit: Also keep in mind that if an app repeatedly eats that much of your phones cpu (GrooveIP for example), this is something that should be reported to the misbehaving apps developer. They can't fix it unless you report it.

I would definitely second this recommendation. You can also ignore certain apps (like GrooveIP) if you want to use the app, but don't want the alerts. I think that option is called "whitelist".
Grrr 100 mb of internal storage and I can't download/update anything from the market
You probably need to remove the mvdalvik01 file from /etc/init.d/ clear the markets' data/cache reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvik and cache there.

if you have a Gmail account you can get free calls anywere in U.S. for free from your PC.

My issue with Watchdog is it never told me anything I didn't already know. Groove has since had many updates and performs much better, I just like having something to kill certain apps every now and then conveniently. Watchdog was just the wrong tool for the job I need done. I may go back to GoLauncher, I always liked the "running" tab in the app drawer.
@Andie, GrooveIP is just a front end for Google Voice.
@cammykool, your clock is still there, just rendered in black. Go into settings-CyanogenMod settings-interface-status bar tweaks-clock color. If you want it white set it for ffffff.
I think I've found a market fix that is simple and seems to work, need testers. note- as always, backups are recommended before attempting any fix
Download com.keramidas TitaniumBackup from the market. I do not know if it requires the pro (paid) version, I have the paid version installed, so I need someone with the free version only to test please.
Open it, let it load fully, then press your menu key. Select the more tab, then select "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM." There is an "Undo sys Dalvik integration" option you can use to undo it should it not work out for you.
Since doing this, I've been able to update everything I had not been able to, and install apps I had not been able to. The messages I had been receiving that were fixed are insufficient space messages. I doubt this will help with any other type of errors. Please let me know if this helps you.

Seriously, hopefully Monday or Tuesday. I've spent the past few days getting my github repository synced with the changes I make to IHO in order to build BACKside. I'm also writing up instructions detailing how I used git to do it. I would love to see more repositories with various changes people could pull in to create their own custom ROM. Sort of a cloud based ROM kitchen.
