Forgive me if this has already been covered; I don't get the chance to browse the forums nearly as much as I used to.
I have not found a way to increase the cache in BOINC on my phone and it continually runs out of tasks during the day while I am at work. I know the FAAH jobs probably aren't that much data but my office is kind of a dead zone for data so it would be hard to transmit on regular 3g/4g coverage anyway. Am I missing the option to increase the cache, or is there no option available? I looked under advanced options as well as double tapping the project, with no success. I don't want to be pressing the update button before leaving for work as I know that's hard on the servers but would like to keep my phone busy as much as possible. Thanks in advance. |

aachego,
Welcome to WCG and the forums. Since you are so new to WCG and are asking an Android question concerning increasing the cache via the app, I am going to assume that you may not have tried to do this on the wcgrid.org website. Login to wcgrid.org (or worldcommunitygrid.org) with your username and password and go to settings->device manager. Click on the profile associated with your device, which in your case will probably be "Default." Go to the Workunit Cache Setting "Connect to network about every.." and change the setting to say 2.0 and then save. Go back to your device and do couple of updates. It may take a little while but you should start getting more workunits. If not let us know. Good luck. |
