Greetings!
----------------------------------------I have two android devices - an older Kindle HD and a Samsung S-6 phone. Way too many WU are downloaded to both. I wanted to download just a few that can run at night. Some days, I leave my phone and kindle powered off. When running, I don't want them to overheat. (Easier to overheat in the daytime) And I don't like keeping partial or unstarted WU on me devices when they are used for other purposes..(Phoning and reading...) Its a pain to abort all of the extra WU. Yes, I set the available kernels to a count of one. But I still get 3 or 4 times the number of available kernels. Is there a way to control this on an Android? Thanks in advance, Jay PS I was alarmed to see how many WU that were sent to my androids failed. I should have checked more often.... Will probably remove project (and BOINC) from androids if WU keep failing. Is there a way to easily check for success on the BOINC App - rather than having to goto the project website and weed through the devices?? Thanks again, Jay  |

Hi Jay,
I don't know if it will work, but in the device manager profile for your Android devices, if you set Cross Project settings -> Project Weight to 0, in theory you will not download extra work. |

Hi Jay, I don't know if it will work, but in the device manager profile for your Android devices, if you set Cross Project settings -> Project Weight to 0, in theory you will not download extra work. Ahum, zero project weight will make WCG a 'backup project' where only work is fetched when there are idle cores *for all the devices attached to the profile*. Given that jay does not like to "weed through the devices", seems he's got more than a few, he's got to make sure only the Android is associated with an exclusive/separate profile or all the related devices will only get 1 per core. Also, if there are more projects attached to the device and others have work, WCG will *not* be asked to send work. |
