Crunching on Android devices can be devastating for them indeed. I have example of 3 identical Viewsonic G-tablet devices, two of them were bought simultaneously. Device that runs BOINC (NativeBOINC + MilkyWay+WUprop+ some other projects) few weeks on power plugged now lost ability to recharge its battery (and to work on battery) completely. Other 2 have working battery still. Less than 1.5 years from purchase. In view of this maybe proposed hysteresis not enough to make such device happy. AFAIK battery doen't like to be partially discharged. Proposed option can result in repetitive 5% battery dicharge/recharge cycle. Maybe it's worth to allow almost complete discharge then stop until almost complete recharge to save battery life. Full battery cycle recommended in most device manuals I read so far. > _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
