My number of results with status wating for validation for Bhspin V2 keeps growing so I did some cheking.

I found 2 problems.

1. A lot of partner results are still waiting to be send out. So there is either a problem with distribution or the number of users with Android devices is very low.

2. In those case where there is a wingman I found that all of those using Android version 6.01 end in "error while computing".
I use Android version 4.4.2. Those run slow but finish without problems.

My pending count overall has gone up ~33% since Quarks and BHSpin2 came out. From about 300 to 400. Most of that is not on Android though.

Universe works on my Nexus 9 but not Nexus 7 (found that out long before BHSpin2) so there is some hardware and/or software out there that is not compatible with U@H.

That affects every client. We all have pendings because of waiting to be send out.

I understand that there may be some delay but if it takes 2 weeks to send out the wingman result there is something wrong.

BH2 got bumped back up to initial replication = 3 without sending out at least 2 of those even within several days of each other. The number of unverified tasks is climbing! I stopped getting new tasks and the points total basically came to a stop as none of the previous 500 tasks are being verified.

Plenty of other science/space projects out there that are better run.

I'm up to 272 pendings now. Looking through my stats I can see that they are being verified but its a slow process.

The problem with result status validation pending because of the unsent status for its partner result is still not fixed
I have 30 returned results from 4 weeks ago with this problem.

I noticed something interesting today. The BH2s results I downloaded yesterday where created on 1 september. The results downloded today where created on 29 august.

Is the problem with old unsent results just a simple sorting problem in the ready to send queue?
Are newly created results put before old results?

I have 5 completed over a month ago. One completed August 2nd that has never had a wingman task sent out. Just mind boggling.

NativeBoinc does not work with Android5 and higher.
But there are many ARM-devices running with NativeBoinc.
All Odroid-X2, -U2/3, -C1, -XU3/4 work with it.

As I promes some time ago, I will try to push Native Boinc developer to update NB, but more important at the moment is to work with him on OpenCL application...
I'm trying my best, but he is still volunteer and we have to be patient as he doing his work on spare time...
(Also, NB was never bin commercial and he never get any support apart good impression from it).

Ps. This is not a criticism, it's just information for you :)

I have take a look to the hosts of alex from the post above and see he is running NB.
My post was only a information for him (and other) why get no work.

I love NB. It is 100 x better than orginal Boinc for android :)
I think many people would be very happy if NB will be updated and he continue his great work.

Indeed, NB is a wonderful BM, wort to be updated, but Mateusz Szpakowski does not answer mails since a long time. Looks like a intrested free programmer is required to do that job, according to the NB HP all sources are on Github. Should be a good starting pont.

And the official BOINC needs a graphic designer.
