Didn't we set that the Android BOINC would only use the local preferences? Or does it have to do with that this BOINC only uses the default location/venue? My BOINC states that it won't do computations while active, but none of my preference say that it should follow this. Both in my local and online preferences is this set to always compute. As the rest of the log snippet shows, it is computing even when the phone is in use. So why does it say it won't compute when in use? The memory limits are also a bit weird. Both the online and local preferences state that BOINC can use 90% of the memory. The online preferences state that for both in use and idle, the local preferences just for the 'RAM Limit'. So why is it still stating only to use 50% of the memory when in use? I've seen my BOINC suspend a couple of times now because other apps in memory made RAM usage go over 50%. The RAM Limit preference in local preferences also seems to be one for when the device is idle, for when I change this value to 70% it'll become: Mon Dec 14 07:02:05 CET 2015||max memory usage when idle: 1391.33MB, that was before Mon Dec 14 05:00:57 CET 2015||max memory usage when idle: 1788.85MB Last, how do I unload BOINC from memory? There's no 'Exit' option in the client. When I long press the three stripes on my phone on the lower right, I do get the Memory Usage screen that shows all apps in memory. When I click the X on BOINC, or swipe it to the left or right, it should unload from memory, but the little icon in the top-left corner states that it continues to stay in memory and continues to run (the event log confirms this). Even when I first suspend BOINC, then try to unload it from memory will it stay in memory.
