As you can see, my Android is not doing to well with Seti@home workunits. It seems to do better with WCG and other projects, but Seti keeps having errors.

Any thoughts?

Can I ask how long on average it is taking you to crunch a wu on your android? I have just started a couple of weeks ago using my tablet, and I still have not finished the first WUs. Now I am worried that they will fail entirely because of your experience.

There's a lot of discussion about the various Android errors at Beta.

If you don't want to join Beta, my advice would be to stop doing Seti on your Android until Eric releases a new app version to Main.

The current Beta version is 7.28 and it works like a dream on my phone, but 7.21 worked pretty well too. The last I checked the overall stats, 7.28 was getting abut a 20% error rate across all devices.
