0 points after a week of crunching

Hello,

my Android phone has been crunching for a week now but still has 0 points and doesn't show up in the clients list on the website.

I manually installed an older apk because the one from the Play Store always had "nothing to do".

Is there a known problem with not receiving any points?

Re: 0 points after a week of crunching

There's some issues with Android FAHV and lots of those work units are replicated over and over and take a lot of time to validate - or eventually turn out invalid. Take a look at your result page and filter the stats for that device, if you have valid work units, you should have some credit.

Re: 0 points after a week of crunching

Thanks for your reply. Today the first 2 results showed up for the Android device. Does it just take a long time for the results to be validated or are most of them discarded?
If most of the work is lost, I wonder if it is worth to run the app at my phone at this point.

It takes a long time for some to be validated, sometimes over a week, it all depends how fast the wingmen send theirs in...... wink

On the WCG website, click on My Contribution - results Statis (the results status page) and see what it says. It should tell you what the BOINC server knows about your recent work.

Re: 0 points after a week of crunching

Hello bastian1337,
Ugh! Some people have discovered that their tablet can successfully run 1 or more work units at a time, but not as many as the core count would suggest. Have you tried running just 1 work unit at a time?

Re: 0 points after a week of crunching

Hello Lawrence,

thanks, I will try that. I changed the setting to only one core on a Nexus 4. Will see what happens.
