Seems the newest Android update is not allowing either NativeBOINC or project applications to run correctly and crashes immediately. It crashes on other projects, so I suspect something in NativeBOINC needs to adjust permissions in it's running of projects.

So, you may want to think before updating your Android. I may have to cave in and install the official BOINC application (which I cannot control remotely).

I had to do a reboot on mine to get it shrubbing again. Hope that works for you too.

I've switched over to plain ol' BOINC, not NativeBoinc - I have TWO Quad-Core M8s now! Very Happy

It took 2 reboots and a reinstall of NativeBOINC and now all is working again.

OK, now it only wants to work if the screen is active. I've had it running since yesterday and the projects only have about 3 hours of shrub time on them. What is this stupid new OS doing? I've played with many settings and cannot get it to go while in the lock screen.

Has the Berkley version of the software gotten any better? I still use BoincView and the last time I tried using the Berkley software I could not control my tablet. This is an important part of my routine on controlling my machines, since I usually let them sit in another part of the house, and I am not going to be climbing stairs several times a day during switchover time.

I couldn't say - Never used it before - I just loaded BOINC and plugged in a handful of Projects - I just let it do whatever it's gonna do

Maybe my $150/Month would be better off buying an i7 and a couple GPUs?

After each issue, I adjust settings then set them back to normal and now everything is running fine again. I just guess I need to let things settle.

Drives me nuts. I've never had this much problem. Wonder why this new OS is doing to give me fits?

There's too many places for settings, local, BAM, at your account on the project's server.

I use global preferences for almost everything. The device was just running odd. Of course with no updates to NativeBoinc in a while and the Berkley version out there, I bet many are opting to use the Berkeley one.

I might try it again, but I will review the release logs first to see if I will be happy with my ability to control it remotely.
