I've been using Android client for 2 days and found a strange thing: it doesn't report completed tasks. I already have 2 with "ready to report" status.
Transfer tab is empty. I didn't find any misconfiguration issues in preferences, including advanced ones. There are no error messages. There are no issues with connection: 1. The client downloads new tasks successfully. 2. I've tried different wi-fi points. For 2 of them I clearly sure that they have no special restrictions. Can you help me to resolve it? |

Welcome to WCG aprudnikoff!
----------------------------------------The Android version of BOINC waits until it is ready to request more work before reporting completed work. This is normal. You can force an update by going to the Projects tab and doing a long press on WCG. You'll get a menu of options including update. But it would be just as well to let it alone to do it's thing. Regards!  |

Actually, there are a number of rules that apply to clear the "Ready to Report" (RtR) part... like a good dozen. We prefer you not to hit update or as gomeyer put it "to just as well let it alone".
If the client needs work, it will ask, else it will report no later than 24 hours after the oldest result changed to RtR state i.e. it will collect these reports if it can for minimal connection / scheduler efficiency. Think one of the other rules is that if a client is set to not fetch new work to clear any RtR, but summary from the official wiki is: Ready to report: Waiting to notify the scheduling server. In order not to stress the server too much, and the deadline is not too near, it may wait with the report until the next task of the project is done. This is intentional. To underscore, the actual result file(s) get uploaded on the first possible opportunity, when connected immediately... your work is save/backed up so to speak. The scheduler send RtR has no rush. |

That option (reporting finished WUs) is good to know.... I was wondering where it was
