Domain name android_f709e5fc
Product name samsung SM-J330G - SDK:26 ABI: armeabi-v7a

For the last week, Ive had BOINC loaded onto my android phone, & it wouldnt download any work/tasks..

Nothing downloaded. (on my system, It said i needed to be on charge, which it was).

Ive taken BOINC off the phone now (but can reinstall).

is the system working on Mobile phones ? should i just sit/wait until it downloads something ?

I'm running BOINC & Seti on a Huawei P9 Lite (64bit Android 7.0), a Huawei P20 Lite (64bit Android 9.0) and an Archos 70d Titanium tablet (64bit Android 7.0)

Your device runs a 32bit Android version on a 64bit CPU. This means that the operating system needs certain library files to translate 64bit commands from the CPU into 32bit commands, which not all device manufacturers add. Therefore your device is trashing the 32bit work it's sent, as can be seen here and in your new profile.

For Seti to run correctly on a 64bit CPU it needs to send you tasks for the SETI@home v8 v8.01 aarch64-android-linux-gnu app, which in your case it doesn't do.
You can still try out other projects that use Android, just not run Seti at this time. Not until they've updated their applications.
