Not to sound argumentative, but in fact my previous post just seemed to inactivate my methods I got working before. I can't even find one of those two settings you mentioned. I would question why Android chose to obfuscate things. Still not to worry. Just for the sheer confusion and waste of time/WUs around this affair, I have uninstalled. I'll just keep my PC running it instead from now on. Thanks for trying to advise though. |

I'm glad I found this topic in fact! I encountered this bug on Android version 11, and running BOINC version 7.24.1. First time I noticed it a few days ago due to my lack of checking the charge being run down, it was so intrusive that powering the phone off just wouldn't reinitialize the suspended tasks! I had to do a Reset on the project after the phone was fully charged and restarted, and then it would begin getting new tasks again and they would work. Well, after playing in those Android battery settings, I might have found a way to 'undo' the suspend lock. I toggled the following two settings, and tasks all started from where they were! Here are the options I changed: First thing I did was: System Settings -> Battery and device care -> tap on Battery (the option above Storage): it opens up the Battery menu. -> Background usage limits -> Never sleeping apps -> Add+ BOINC app to this list. Second thing I did was: In the same Battery menu above, scroll down below the "Usage since last full charge" section graph/data: you will see More battery settings. -> Adaptive battery -> Off Don't know which one of those worked, maybe someone can test this and see if they reach the same conclusion as I did. Best wishes, Dave. |

Bit of a late read. Thanks for keeping the project alive despite the difficulties! Can't CERN help bring public attention to the whole project? People are going crazy over LHC lately and James Webb. I understand the need to pay for people's time, so if getting an international Charity going would help - maybe it's worth considering? There are a lot of us who are pro-BOINC across the globe who aren't big/rich/powerful. We just need to get the attention of those who have wealth to distribute if they knew it was going somewhere good. |
