My Android phones are set to pause Boinc when the screen is on. If I turn the screen on, then off again, Boinc pauses, then starts new tasks instead of the halfway through ones. These new tasks fail. Not sure why Boinc does this, I've reported it here: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/5402

1902 Fri, 20/10/2023 05:03:42 AM Suspending computation - computer is in use
1903 Fri, 20/10/2023 05:03:49 AM Resuming computation

These two started fresh:
1904 Asteroids@home Fri, 20/10/2023 05:03:49 AM Starting task ps_231009_input_4691_29_1
1905 Asteroids@home Fri, 20/10/2023 05:03:49 AM Starting task ps_231009_input_4963_132_2

Then immediately caused a computation error:
1907 Asteroids@home Fri, 20/10/2023 05:03:58 AM Computation for task ps_231009_input_4691_29_1 finished
1908 Asteroids@home Fri, 20/10/2023 05:03:59 AM Computation for task ps_231009_input_4963_132_2 finished

OS: Android 11 and 12 (happens on two phones).
BOINC Version: 7.24.1

This is the output from one of the failed tasks:
https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/result.php?resultid=410050079

<![CDATA[
<message>
process exited with code 2 (0x2, -254)</message>

Error: Number of lc points is greater than POINTS_MAX = 1000

</stderr_txt>
]]>

Could there be 2 distinct issues here?

a- New tasks get started
b- "lc points > POINTS_MAX" computation error : I'm seeing this also, independent of any screen on/off. It feels like something specific to the Asteroids app.

Sounds like you're troubleshooting (a) with the BOINC team on Github.

I reported (b) at https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1000.

yes, it's most likely 2 issues:
1. scheduling problem - we have no control over task scheduling. It doesn't seem to be related to this project, rather than to Boinc (client) itself. Please discuss the issue on their github https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/5402
2. POINTS_MAX - we're aware of this issue. Android's app is outdated and it can't handle some types of tasks anymore. We are in the process of recompiling old apps with the recent code and the android app seems to be the last one... we'll fix it eventually, but it may take some time, please be patient :)

Will hold for updated Android app, thanks.
Android is not the highest priority, understood.
