I have a Dell Venue 8 tablet running Android 5.1 on an Intel Atom. It had been running Seti unattended from Jan to late July of this year when it stopped connecting to Seti. When I discovered this and began investigating yesterday I found that Boinc was refusing to load past the splash screen. Un/reinstalling the client and rebooting my tablet didn't resolve the problem. What should I look at next to try and fix it?

This is a known issue with both 7.4.51 and 7.4.53, with no fix for now. The Android version of BOINC is not in development at the moment, almost all of BOINC development has come to a stand still.

You can test if 7.4.43 works with your device, though and then ignore the messages to upgrade for now.

That version seems to be working fine (had a few tasks complete and validate anyway). Is the breakage limited to Android/x86? I have several Android/arm devices; and they all work fine.

If I am not mistaken, it is on both. But don't hold me on to that, it's been a while (before summer) since we had a discussion about it (both here and on the email lists).
