I've noticed that android WU for SCC have rather long checkpoints. I've noticed that couple of WU were > 1% progress and when the phone was disconnected from charger all progress is lost. Since I often connect and disconnect my phone, SCC WU making no progress which seems like waste to me. Is there way to notify developers about this problem?
Phone: Next 6P. |

What you noticed is a well known problem with ARM Android devices. If you suspend a task it may revert to an hours old checkpoint when started again.
I'm guessing you suspend when running on battery. If you can run your WCG tasks while on battery you wouldn't have this suspend issue. There are several other ways BOINC will suspend. You can turn them off in settings. |

You are ever so lucky with a checkpoint every 5% for SCC1. Remember OET with a checkpoint every 12.5%?

You can turn them off in settings. Yeah, Initially I was running only on AC power. Then I ended up running on battery up to (or rather down to) 30% of charge (later adjusted to 50%) |
