Hello all, i have a strange problem that has occurred, I am running seti and Einstein on 2 main PC's and a laptop using latest BOINC download, on my Samsung Note, I run the Boinc offering from Google Play, on all the pcs everything runs fine, work units download and upload sharing processor time on a 50/50 workload basis during the day, the same for the mobile BUT with the exception of seti, when i tried to get it to look for new work it stated that comms were deferred for 24 hours and appears to be in a persistent loop, given the fact that the android has 4 cores and allows me to complete workloads at speed i'm giving more processor time to einstein than seti, and that shouldn't be the case, any idea whether this is a seti bug or something deep within the BOINC android app? I can't seem to resolve it at all, tried resetting and reinstalling but to no avail.

Running BOINC 7.2.8 on Android v 4.1.2 kernel 3.0.31-1071214

any help much appreciated as it's driving me mad!

Seti hasn't released a Android app on Arm yet:

Setiathome Applications

An Android Arm app has only just gone on Seti Beta, if you want to test that app you'll have to join Seti Beta:

Seti Beta Applications

The BOINC d/l page is listing Android/ARM v7.2.7 as "recommended version" yet both Google Play & Amazon AppStore are pushing 7.2.9 only.

1. What is the "official" version?

2. Is the distribution chain for Android devices working correctly?

Whichever version is latest available through the Google Play store. The developers are updating it quite regularly. More than they will the download pages.
