I have a Nexus 7 and run the latest Android OS. I run BOINC with FightAIDS@Home but now all my tasks for FightAIDS@Home all say "computation error". I uninstalled and reinstalled and get the same error. What's wrong? It all started when I upgraded to the new android OS, and had to wait for the new BOINC to come out that supported it. Once it did, I downloaded the new BOINC but now I just get those errors.

Same problem with my Nexus 7 here.New BOINC should support Android 5.0 but I see no evidence of that.

If you bought/upgraded your smartphone/tablet to Android 5.0, then you will get instant error with FAHV... it's not PIE compliant in it's present production release. In fact from reading, only Einstein/Albert have a Android 5.x working application.
WCG is currently testing a new version, see Android forum where this thread belongs, and the BETA forum. This one will run on Android 4.1 and above. |

1/2 the time I can't connect to the server. So...new update kicks out a huge chunk of people processing WUs with phones....real intelligent move. Guess if you don't want to use a $500+ phone to crunch with then you're not good enough. Nevermind that I have (and I'm sure there are countless hundreds more out there) about $1200 worth of cell phones that use to crunch 24/7 and now get nothing. Thanks.
---------------------------------------- This makes the second and last time my phones have been rendered useless. I will never again bother loading BOINC on a phone. Wonder how long it'll be before my 2,4,8,16 and 24 core computers won't be good enough?
One drop raises the sea.

I have 2 Kindles running, perfectly for the past few months until a week ago. Suddenly they started getting computation error. every work unit that it downloads it immediately says "computation error" Some output file cannot be found. At first I thought it was the kindle but they both have the same problem

At admin: Please update footnote 3 of https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq to say the minimum requirement is Android version 4.1.

At first I thought it was the kindle but they both have the same problem I'm willing to bet you are running android 4.0 or below. Updating to 4.1 or newer should fix your issue. I had to install Cyanogenmod 11/ Android 4.4.4 on my Kindle Fire 2.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by olivaresanthony at Feb 17, 2015 8:58:33 PM] |

I have a Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.4. For the last several days every task has been failing immediately. Do I need to update it to a newer version? If so, how would I do that manually?
