As the title said. I couldn't add the project in Boinc on Android because it wasn't https. (Once I added the S, it worked fine.)

Is it possible to do an automatic redirect?
2) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : [Android] Tasks finished but not reporting, unless prompted to do so. (Screen is off) (Message 112707)

This happens with Einstein@home as well, but I suppose this is the better place to report it?

Apparently finished WUs don't get reported/uploaded by themselves - the client requests a new WU and gets it, but the old one isn't uploaded.
If I tell Boinc to update the project, The WU is uploaded without problems.

Since WUProp uploads fine, I guess it's a bug within Albert/Einstein.

The phone screen is turned off, i.e.the phone is locked, but Boinc is told to transfer data whenever, even if there is no WLan. Internet access should be available all the time.

I think this isn't especially new, but WUs take about a day each, and I didn't really take notes, sorry.

LG P880, stock android 4.0.3, Boinc 7.2.7

Everything's fine now.

Apparently it was a bug in 7.2.0 - didn't fix itself in 7.2.1 , but when I manually told it to suspend and resume, everything was fine.

Possible problem with Albert WUs on Android Boinc 7.2.1 (using LG P880, stock android 4.0.3): won't up or download.

Two WUs finished processing but won't upload. New WUs have been requested (and are shown in the client) but aren't downloaded.

Message in transfer tab says only "Upload: suspended - manually.", but I'm quite sure I didn't suspend any transfers.

Client bug or project? Previous WUs on this device but using NativeBoinc were fine.

(Also posted in official Boinc group, in case it's a client bug, which I suspect.)

BE WARNED!!

The Android devices run much hotter when using BOINC insted of native Boinc!
I changed setting to use one cpu only now.

Interestingly my phone (LG P880) seems to be less hot than with NativeBoinc.
Might be that since I now can turn off the screen without stopping the calculations, the processor slows down (or the hotness before was merely the screen illumination?).

(Of course, it's only been one day now, and it's just MY phone I can speak for. Just adding another anecdote without any data :-)
