One thing I've noticed (keep in mind this involves an new device, so I don't know what previous BOINC versions would have reported for it):

I have an Android 11 TV, a 15 tablet, several 12 phones, and a 15 phone that I bought yesterday.

Most of them report the GPU as a "coprocessor" to the attached projects, except for the TV, and two of the phones don't (not that the attached projects have an Android GPU app, but still) when one used to. The new phone is a Motorola Moto G 2025, and I have a Moto G Power 2023 that previously reported the GPU for the past few BOINC versions.

(Per CPU-Z, the 2025 has "Mali-57 MC2", and the 2023- Android 12- has "PowerVR Rogue GE8E20".)

I was doing a few things today, and noticed that on one of my devices- I have not yet checked any of the others- the popup menu is now missing the "no new tasks" option.

This is on a Moto G Android 15 phone.

EDIT: Just checked on a different Moto phone (Android 12), and "no new tasks" IS available.

Not sure how this happened, but I discovered that "advanced preferences and controls" was unchecked, ticking the box returned the "no new tasks" option.

The "Notification Dot" changed to now show the number of tasks running, instead of just being a round dot modifying the icon, but there's a reason- the Moto G 2025 phone upgraded from Android 15 to 16. So, one more change along with some of the other changes in phone settings
