Seems like someone posted a list of "known" working phones and/or tablets.

--edit---


Without knowing how (often) the list updates, I do know it leaves out my LG Stylo 5, which I've attached in the past couple of weeks.

Ask TBar about the Mac Intel Darwin application. It always underreports pulses. He's been complaining about that forever.


Not that I had asked the right question, but this answers it. Thanks.

For the "quick" stuff, that I've gathered:

* Your "oldest" will work almost guaranteed (and does seem to be doing it, from what I've seen).
* The "6"... I don't recognize the model, but most of mine have worked; they're LG, though, a little more mainstream I think.
* For 7.0+... It seems to depend on the exact build, but mostly it's a "no". They seem to mostly use 64-bit ARM CPU's with poor support for the 32-bit ARM apps currently in use on SETI. (Other projects are different, of course.)

12) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU Frq. reporting on an Android Device (Message 1990544)
Posted 18 Apr 2019 by JLDun
Post:
The thing is, while most of those 4 cores do list frequencies under 1001, including sometimes 0/1001, the one I'm concerned about sometimes goes 'up' to 1508/1001(the /1001 in this case is always present/always '/1001'.). [And the other 4 cores not shown in the image have listings of 'nn/1508', including the occasional 0/1508.


The tl;DR version: since the '/1001' part doesn't change, I'm reading that as a (reported) 'hard' limit for that cpu and am wondering about it appearing to go above 1001 occasionally interms of actual activity.

Currently around 105-107°F. ( Have two of the same model; the 105 is currently running 2 WCG- and plugged in- and the 107 is Einstein x4.)

EDIT: And this is while sitting outside with 80° ambient.

1508 of 1001 MHz? I doubt over-clocking is an issue here, since it's non-root Android....



EDIT: It's an 8-core, the other cores ARE 1508's, and CPU-Z sees this sometimes, too.

Officially , isn't that what the Transitioner for; to Transition things along?

Maybe it needs bigger boots.
