Hello all! 

I've been running Einstein@Home on my laptop, and it has been crunching tasks there. I added it to my android phone today, but there haven't been any WUs received. I added it to a separate preferences group as well and checked all settings to allow tasks.

Is this some challenge with my phone's configuration, or there are no WUs for Android? Any help will be appreciated.

Phone configuration - HiSilicon Kirin 960, 8 cores @ 2.30 GHz, 6 GB RAM, Mali-G71 GPU, 128 GB disk storage with 50+ GB available.

You should be able to get

You should be able to get Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) tasks on your phone.

The last contact made to the project by any of your Android devices didn't request any tasks from the server so none were sent. You need to figure out why your devices didn't request any tasks.

Thanks for your

Thanks for your response.

I did some changes in the preferences, and my phones have received 1 task each now. So, I assume it has started and will get more soon :)

Good to hear that you were

Good to hear that you were able to get tasks downloaded and processing. Depending on your cache settings Boinc should request more work when it's needed.

Do you know what you changed in your preferences to get it working?
It might benefit someone else with the same or a similar problem if you can share your experience.
