HTC Power To Give

BOINC Forum Post: [url]http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8960[/url]
HTC's Site: [url]http://www.htc.com/www/go/power-to-give/[/url]

Visiting the HTC Power To Give site, they list the options for four World Community Grid sub-projects, none of which are active: Nutritious Rice for the World (completed), Say No to Schistosoma (intermittent), Computing for Clean Water (intermittent), and Help Fight Childhood Cancer (intermittent). The YouTube videos would suggest that Rosetta and SETI are also options (due to clips with researchers from those projects) but my phone isn't compatible so I can't try it out for myself and see what's going on there. I don't see any updated news page or forums, does anyone have more information on their project?

I wonder if these initiatives (first by Samsung, now by HTC) will get any users to BOINC/WCG proper, as they are both fairly limited in their scope.

Re: HTC Power To Give

(bump on last noderaser post)

We know from the wuprop statistics, here http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results/arm.py?pro...n=FightAIDS%40Home+-+Vina some htc one phones have signed up to volunteer computing. Specifically we can see these devices have contributed in the past 10 days, which is how much stats there presently has accumulated after some seeming reset at wuprop

HTC Desire HD 16.8 (9.4 - 24.3)
HTC j 8.2 (8.2 - 8.2)
HTC One M7 8.8 (6.4 - 12.7)
HTC One M8 7.8 (4.8 - 13.1)
HTC One mini 7.5 (5.2 - 13.9
)
HTC Thunderbolt 18.0 (18.0 - 18.0)

The question we volunteers have is, if you're using one, is it with the 'power to give' agent ** or some other boinc version [boinc for android or nativeboinc]. Second question is, what are your success rate statistics which can be seen on the my contributions > result status page or on my contributions > device statistics.

Please respond.

Of course there is a secondary purpose on the agenda. Get as many smartphone/tablet users signed up to wuprop as possible. This gives us result runtime statistics per brand, but more importantly, tells us volunteers which devices succeed to participate. The none intense app uses like 0.1 percent of one cpu thread, meaning you'll never know it's there and will upload a miniscule result statistics file every 6 hours of actual runtime.

** The power to give agent is not compatible with other than some htc devices, from trying an install on an asus.

I would encourage everybody to add WUprop on all their devices, it provides lots of good information as to how the projects run on various hardware.
