I've been running BOINC on my Galaxy S21 Ultra with almost all of the projects running at 8 chores and access to 8gb of ram and 100%cpu for a few weeks now, but no luck. I've gotten 0 credit the entire time. I only just got this device, so I also reinstalled BOINC on my old s9 and it's getting credit.

That's why. Science United uses an anonymous login on projects, so all devices attached via Science United only do science, they don't get credit. Detach from Science United and add the projects manually to your own account (email address + password). Then you will start racking up credits. Previous credits won't be added as they never were under Science United.

But I wasn't getting credit even before I added on the science united account. I only did that to try to fix the problem.

Have you agreed to GDPR rules and allowed/enabled export of your stats at the projects you are attached to?

Some projects added these requirements several years ago and unless you opt-in, even if you're already had prior credits nothing will export unless you agree to those two options.

Also what Jord mentioned disconnect from the Science United Account Manager. Any credits earned attached to S.U. will not carry over to your personal account.

You won't be able to do anything with Universe@home until sometime Monday 10/24 at earliest due to power failure near hosting site.

Where do I accept the GDR rules? Also I really think this is a problem to do with my phone, since I did the exact same installation/ set up (at the same time, so they were both the same versions) on my s9 and everything is running smoothly (connected to science united).

First off as mentioned before, being attached to Science United WON'T get credit in your PERSONAL ACCOUNT and any credit done there will not transfer to you either when switching.

Detach from SU and reattach using you own login/password on all projects you want to receive credit...

Then using Universe@home as example for GDPR>
Scroll to Preferences for this project click on Universe@Home preferences
Scroll to Should Universe@Home show your computers on its web site? CHECK BOX.
Scroll to Do you consent to exporting your data to BOINC statistics aggregation Web sites?
CHECK BOX.

Scroll to near bottom green button "Update Preferences".

Do this for each project you are attempting to switch to your credentials.

Detach each computer IN BOINC PROGRAM from the SU projects.

Reattach each project using the email and password you set up above. Rinse, repeat until all projects and computers are on your account.

Or use BAM! or GridRepublic as account managers, as these do allow credits for the user.

I already detached the two projects that were on SU, and reattached them to my account weeks ago. Just now I've removed and readded all projects.

I'm not sure where 'Preferences for this project' is. Is that called something different on Android? But I did do the steps for Universe@Home

Also, just so we're clear, I was already having problems getting credit for a week before I tried using SU. On top of that, only two of the ~8 projects were on SU.

They're on the project websites, under Your Account. Not in the BOINC app.

Also, just so we're clear, I was already having problems getting credit for a week before I tried using SU. On top of that, only two of the ~8 projects were on SU.
One option is that you used a different email address when adding the projects, essentially giving it a different account. Another option is that all your work erred. But you should be able to see that in your account.
A third option is that the BOINC on that device pauses a lot, perhaps because Android is busy or the screen is on or something else.

Perhaps post the message log - you can email it to yourself from BOINC, then post it here.

I finally found the preferences on their websites like yall mentioned! I'll wait a day to see if it starts showing credit, then check back in.

Your battery is empty and it's quickly overheating. The latter can be fixed by having a fan blow over the surface of the device, because if you allow this to happen a lot for a long time, the battery will eventually bloat and pop up out of the device.

When I had my Android farm doing stuff, I put one 230mm fan to the side of it and let it blow over the surfaces of the devices at half speed (5V). I used a loose fan controller board that could connect to a Molex connector and a power brick with Molex connector to power the fan. A second 240mm fan in reserve in case the first went down.

See my Google Photo's here for how that looked. It didn't use much electricity, maybe 5kW per year when running 24/7.

Also, you cannot compare the amount of CPU cores in an Android device with those in a PC, although Intel is going that way with its efficiency cores and performance cores. In most big.LITTLE configurations, only the LITTLE cores can be used by BOINC. Yes, BOINC may detect 8 cores, but when you try to use 8 of them, they will double stack on the 4 LITTLE cores. This means that there are two tasks running per core, slowing calculations down enormously and creating extra heat. The faster big cores aren't used, they are reserved for the operating system only. They are locked by Android.

So it's also a good idea to see how many cores are detected and tell BOINC to just use half of those, then it'll run the science on the LITTLE cores only. This also means that the device will get less hot.
