We're aware of this issue. The Android app is outdated, it can't handle some types of tasks anymore. We are in the process of recompiling old apps with the most recent code; 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.

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.

Hello!
A significant portion of tasks I receive (overall, 1 out of 3) error out within seconds:
Number of lc points is greater than POINTS_MAX = 1000

I presume those tasks eventually get completed by some other machine, so it's probably not a huge deal. But it seems to be getting worse, i.e. I think I'm getting more errors than ever before.
Issue appears to have started mid-October 2023.

The app is:
Period Search Application v102.12 (arm_android_pie) arm-android-linux-gnu

BOINC client 7.24.1.

Example failed task:
