Seti Beta also contributes to the Project in terms of data crushing or it's just for test? As far as I know it's just for test, it's never been confirmed whether it's results are used, it's very small scale compared to the Main project, so it's no loss. Claggy |

when checking computer listings in project it reports Android 3.0.8-02825-g9e39b8c so it is reporting android version.. just not the right one it did get and process work units before || android_d8de5c89 Amazon KFTT - SDK:15 ABI: armeabi-v7a 4.99 5,382 7.4.14 3.0.8-02825-g9e39b8c || so one of the updates.. or a change on server side stopped it from receiving work units That is why I posed the question |

The Boinc version I downloaded from the Play Store says that it's finally compatible with Lollipop, but as far I can see I'm not receiving any tasks. I have at least 5 Android devices on Lollipop, but none is working. Bug? If that's the case, why does it say that current Boinc works on Android 5? Hmmm. Edit: Just saw a post saying SETI@Home itself is not compatible with Lollipop, nothing to do with the Boinc client. Interesting, I didn't know that was even possible. |

That's because BOINC doesn't process science for any project. BOINC simply manages the uploads, downloads, and work queues for a project. When you attach to a project, BOINC automatically downloads whatever science applications are required to process work. Since there is no SETI@home science application compatible with Android 5 yet, you can't get any work until one is released. |

My new phone is starting to nag me daily to install the Lollipop updates. Don't know if I can say "later" forever. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Same thing with my Asus/Nexus 7 (wifi only) tablet been bugging me daily for at least 2 month now. Hope Google does not automagically force install it on me if I have to reboot/power cycle it for any reason. |

My new phone is starting to nag me daily to install the Lollipop updates. Don't know if I can say "later" forever. I was getting that for the Kitkat update. Then I either hit the wrong button once or they decided I was going to get the update anyway. I unlocked my phone & had a "Your device has been updated" message instead of the "There is an update. Do you want to install it now or later" message. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

hi Claggy the seti beta site is a bit vague on how to set up/download test data. I set up an account over a month ago but can not find how to start. I have a few android /intel Atom quad core+intel HD gpu tablets crunching collatz conjector as this is the only android x86 project. (below is 1 tablet's worth of crunching starting in early march) I would love to split the time with seti@home. the number of x86 cpu's on Android is increasing and seem much more powerful tham ARM7 cpu's it must be worth somebody with the experience, giving it some time. If I knew how I'd help. If at first you don't succeed, Then skydiving is not for you. |

hi Claggy In the official Boinc Android app, there is a place where you can manually enter the URL of a project. Touch the top left 3 dashes symbol, then Projects (NOT add project), then the top right 3 dots symbol. That area will become dark blue with barely-visible black text saying to enter the project URL; touch it to get your keyboard. Put in setiathome.berkeley.edu/beta , then enter your Beta account info.

Did anybody try running Seti on the Android M Developer Preview yet? I wanted to test but forgot and after 2 days I went back to Lollipop because the Preview has too much bugs for daily use. |
