This is my 2nd or 3rd Tasks it has happened to in a month now. Most recent task ...Which I aborted because it will not be done before deadline. https://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=84953918 There is nothing in stderr output explaining what happened and nothing in the BOINC message log on the device either. Until this is fixed I have quit doing any Android tasks for the project. Why waste my time when I have to abort the task because if I continue crunching it will not finish by deadline and not receive any credit anyways. ID: 3914 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Android 9 host running perfectly fine: https://universeathome.pl/universe/show_host_detail.php?hostid=540185 Android 9 host with the issue: https://universeathome.pl/universe/show_host_detail.php?hostid=540726 ID: 3922 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

However, if you pause the tasks then unpause them they will start again from zero. This usually, but not always, fixes the units and they will run to completion.

(eg. the HUAWEI tablet SoC is strange, for some reason do not exports the CPU load parameter) ID: 3939 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 17 Jan 2020, 1:32:22 UTC Android is very fragmented. Every manufacturer have his changes even in kernel... :( The only few devices I can check and even on my tablet application doesn't work... They work perfectly on my two phones. Android 4.4 (Alps P20) and Android 7.0 (VKWorld Mix Plus). Yes I agree, manufacturers mess about. My Alps P20 actually claims to be Android 6.0 until I interrogate it with CPU-Z. The seller is an outright liar, but I got my money back and kept the phone :-) ID: 4007 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
