Is there some reason why it's not processing or does the progress bar not work? ID: 93802 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Generally processing is done when the screen is off, and the battery charge level is greater than the preference. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 93803 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Apparently it's stopping due to a low charge, saying that (battery charge level 0.0% < threshold 30.0%), when in reality it's completely full. ID: 93804 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 8 Apr 2020, 3:02:31 UTC I had the same issue yesterday. I have not had time to research why BOINC is having problems detecting battery level. I plugged it in to charge and turned off the screen and tasks went active (which I could only tell by checking it half an hour later). BOINC does seem to properly detect that it is not "on battery power" when it is charging. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 93806 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I left it plugged in before with the screen off, and it did nothing, but I'll try again with the always on display feature off in case that affects it. ID: 93807 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Hopefully it should be fine since it needs to be plugged in anyway. ID: 93811 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
