Just wondering if anyone is crunching on one of these?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-RKM-MK802IV-And...X-Airmouse-/230989990447? Not going to be buying one for crunching but just wondered if it's possible or any good. |

I have been crunching on the Ematic 7" Tablet and it's not too bad. Averaging only about 3.7 points per hour so this is not for anyone going for points. However the quad core is crunching at 97% efficiency so it would be a great value for anyone going for runtime badges. The screen resolution and sharp edges suck, but for only $80?

Got one from Walmart. Every thing seems OK, but I cannot get any WU to download. I can access WCG & BOINC web sites.
----------------------------------------When I try https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/ I get the following error: 403 Forbidden Forbidden You don't have permission to access /boinc/ on this server. Any ideas?  [Edit 1 times, last edit by yoro42 at Mar 3, 2014 4:36:11 AM] |

On an Android device you have to add apps from the Google Play Store. Boinc is just another app. You can not add it from worldcommunitygrid.org |

The first time I installed Boinc on an android device my default profile had only MCM1 selected so I didn't get any workunits since android Boinc on WCG only does faah. |

All of my device profiles have FAAH selected. When I signed on to the tablet the first time it had me create a gmail account which idifferent than the one I normaly use...it is not @.gmail.com?? |
