Not quite ;-)

Yeah, noticed that. I'm still up lots more on bugs and tests than you are. ;)

This isn't a very good version to have on a phone that is actively used, but also when it's being charged.
I have constant BOINC app crashes & restarts. And once every so often that I put the phone on a charger, BOINC starts resuming, crashes and then never restarts.
Or that I put the phone on a charger, BOINC resumes, then suspends again because I open something, and stays there until I unplug & replug. I do not recommend using this version.

Moo Wrapper seems to work fine for me but Rosetta tasks never seem to start.

Phone is a Fairphone2 , Android 7.1.2 which is the most recent one that works on it if that makes any difference.

Closed #4208
Opened #4218, #4219, #4220, #4221, #4222, #4223

So I reported the bugs and that was that, no one asking for details, no one saying "Hey that sucks having a constantly crashing app, I am going to fix that!"
Heck the only comment I got from the Android developer was in the order of "your bug report is confusing". Well.

I'll run the last WCG tasks to end on my phone and uninstall this POC.

Rosetta now attached and a task waiting to download. Still no crashes on this version on my phone Jord. Which Android version do you have?

Try running several project tasks through each other. The client app is probably very sturdy when it's not doing anything (aka no tasks crunch). I see an improvement in stability by only running WCG. But as soon as I run a mix of Einstein and Rosetta, it's back to crashing territory again.

Haven't had any WCG tasks for ever almost on phone. Moo wrapper alongside Rosetta seems stable. - Only running two tasks at once otherwise phone starts getting too hot. Will try adding Einstein to mix at some point to see if it affects things.

This is just a posting to give visibility to some which projects currently have Android work "available". Running on the old 7.4.53 ... i am getting steady work on Universe, WCG (Mapping Cancer Markers). Einstein and WUProp,

Thanks

I found that all work from Yoyo@Home and Moo Wrapper crashed instantly on my BOINC, which probably has to do with their apps requiring 32bit Android or 32bit compatibility libs, which is an impossibility to install on Android unless you add your own OS. WuProp runs on my other devices, but is pretty useless as even after running it on an old phone and three tablets for a year in combination with the likes of Einstein, Rosetta and Universe, I still can't find any info about them in WuProp's results tables.

Just a thought, my phone is prone to random reboots even without BOINC installed. Is there an easy way to find out if a reboot with BOINC running is due to BOINC or not?

Without access to the log files, no.

Thanks, I see that accessing the log files isn't trivial. Currently downloading Android Studio to have a go at looking at them.

I meant BOINC's stdoutdae and stderrdae log files, which are stored in the hidden (root) directory ./data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/
We've asked for a copy of these logs to be available in a directory outside of root's main directory, but the developer in question thought it was nicer to make a UI and then forgot about the request all together. Or it's on the never-to-do list.

I find that each time that I get the notification that BOINC is suspended, even when I am in the tasks tab and see the tasks there go from suspending to ready mode and back to running, that this means the client just crashed and started anew.
As each time I check the event log, it's just restarted with a "Starting BOINC client" message log.

Thanks, I certainly don't seem to be able to view them easily by connecting a USB cable to my phone and browsing even though I have view hidden files checked. Now established ftp access to phone which should include root directory once I learn to use the app.

You'll need root access before files in the root directory become visible. I managed to copy the whole data directory at one time to another drive (on my PC) and could see the directory and contents using Total Commander, but that was on Android 6 and 7. Since 9 it's completely locked down. I'll search what the command was as I put it onto one of the mailing lists at the time, so others could use it.

Ah yes, using adb.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13006315/how-to-access-data-data-folder-in-android-device

Command to use from a PC's command line, while using a data connection to the phone:

abd backup -all /data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc

This makes a backup of the whole data directory into the directory you're at with the command line.
Then you can use https://sourceforge.net/projects/adbextractor/ to read its contents. The data directory's contents are at /data/data/edu.berkeley/boinc/r/client

As said, this only works on pre-9 Android.

Thank you. Some time this week I should get around to checking it out. I have Android 7.something so it should work. Many of the rooting apps seem not to work on my phone. (All those I have tried.) The old HTC that was my first smart phone was much easier to hack into.

Just posted my last ticket on this and will uninstall tomorrow.
