Quake-Catcher Network: QCN/BOINC app for Android Devices Now Available

[RSS]

QCN now runs on Android devices (phones, tablets, etc) via BOINC for Android, which is available on the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...berkeley.boinc It is recommended to run using the default settings - ie QCN will run on your Android device when it's charging ("at rest" so it won't trigger every few seconds) and on a wifi network. The network and CPU requirements are very small, typically 1-5% CPU, and a few kilobytes per day. Just download BOINC for Android from the Google Play store link above, and attach to "qcn.stanford.edu/sensor" Note that this app is not graphical - we are looking to make a QCNLive-style Android add-on for displaying the QCN/BOINC app/accelerometer information.

Sweeeeet.

This is a great opportunity for you android users to get more projects for the wuprop badge stars, or MMs or just plain free credits.

The android thing will never happen for me, but I tried QCN for a while on my Mac laptop under a Windows VM. Never got an error, seemed to work, but never actually completed a work unit. I might try to resurrect an old thinkpad I have laying around. I'm bummed because I really want to run it.

Why in a VM? The ap is OSX native, and you don't have to try to get the VM to talk to the sensor.

I gotta switch. Thought the vm would be good in case I wanted to add other CPU projects on my mbp, but I'll stick with osx boinc !

I get nothing but compute errors after 3 - 10 seconds.

Same with my HTC ... all WU fail after 2-3 seconds

Working fine on my GS3.

FWIW, I don't use the stock BOINC client. I use NativeBOINC. Way more features. For example, I can set up so that BOINCtasks can connect to it like any other BOINC device.

Maybe the stock BOINC client is the problem?
