I did not find Seti Beta in the list of projects, so I chose Seti main. Then I figured out how to attach to Beta manually. I suspended Main before it even started to crunch because I want to keep this tablet entirely on Beta. But I can't get it to abort the task it downloaded at Main. I touch the trash can icon and it disappears for a bit, then comes back again. The task always remains. I really don't want to make my wingmate wait until 1 Dec. when it will time out, but I'd rather not run it either. Any suggestions? Is this perhaps a bug in the Android Boinc app?

I just did test on my Android with official Boinc v7.4.14 and it did abort workunits, suspended or not.[/url] ID: 1587176 ·

I had to Resume the project before it would act on the command to abort the task. (I did think to set NNT first, so it didn't get any more.)
