My PC updates fine but my Android devices cannot connect to WCG.
My phone log says internet access OK but website might be down, which it isn't. My tablet says not connected to wifi - I have checked and it is. Any ideas, please. Mike |

I see my Odroids with Android installed have downloaded new work units with the last half hour which would seem to rule out server-side issues. Can you visit websites in the browser on the devices? If not, then I'd try the simple first step of rebooting your wireless router.
----------------------------------------As an aside, I should ask if you're just using the BOINC client from the Google Play store which isn't getting updates anymore. If so, then this might be a good moment to try upgrading to the recently-released 7.18.1 client, either from the BOINC website or the F-Droid repository. It has a really nice new feature for allowing remote management through either the BOINCTasks program or a BOINC Manager window on your PC pointed to the device. It has to be turned on in the preferences (no need to modify XML files) and the password for connection can be modified or left as-is.  |

They were downloaded from Google Play Store and have been working until now albeit somewhat intermittently.
I tried connecting to wcg but my internet seems to have stopped working. Everything is unreachable. Mike |

Surprise! Surprise!
The tablet has now connected while I was gardening, but the phone still has not. Mike |

Is the system-time set correct on the phone?
If so, maybe the system-time had been incorrect also on the tablet but now the tablet automatically set time with a NTP. |
