A few months back, I did a factory reset on my phone in hopes that I could clear out any excess junk that was draining my battery life. Unfortunately, since then BOINC has not behaved quite like it should... Right after installing, I was able to attach my project manager and download work, but now the BOINC Manager and status say "Nothing to do--Waiting for tasks..." Even though my projects report that tasks are being completed.

Examples, WUprop: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results.php?hostid=73794
QCN: http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/results.php?hostid=38685

I also notice that if I try and get into BOINC through the Apps page, the splash screen sits there for a really long time--but if I go in through the status message it will go right to the (empty) manager.

If I look at the Client messages tab, everything looks fairly normal and I can see that I'm attached to projects, and suspending computation on battery, etc. but the other tabs (Tasks, Notices, Projects, even Preferences) are blank.

I do have a lot of instances of the following message in my GUI messages, which I assume is the culprit but I've no idea how to resolve it:
12-29 17:28:58.793 E/BOINC_GUI(24537):
readClientStatus(): connection problem, null: state


I am currently on BOINC 7.4.37 and Android 4.3 on a T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999, though I know this has happened with at least the previous version of BOINC since I'm set to auto-update and this has been going on for a couple of months. I have tried uninstalling & re-installing BOINC, to no avail. Assistance would be greatly appreciated; though I still seem to be crunching for the time being, I am spending a lot of time in areas without good cell service and would like to manually verify that work has been uploaded/downloaded when I am on WiFi.

For kicks, I decided to uninstall/reinstall BOINC and see if anything has changed. So, I did an uninstall, restarted the phone and reinstalled BOINC. Was able to add my account manager (BAM) and saw the projects attach and download the first two tasks. A couple hours later, I check in to see what's going on and BOINC has the message "Nothing to do--Waiting for tasks" in the system notifications area, and there are no tasks or projects listed, just like before.

If I try and "add project" at this point, BOINC manager will crash.

Something must have been changed in one of the recent updates, because now everything is functioning fine, and I've not done anything to the phone other than have automatic app updates turned on.

Well, that was short lived. We're back to no projects listed and "Waiting for tasks" again.
