Inability to change settings after upgrade
Since a recent upgrade of the android app I have been unable to change the time settings - the clock seems to have disappeared. Currently my contribution starts after 3 in the morning, and, as I am up by 6.30, and turn off my phone charger I am losing nearly 3 hours of contribution time. Any suggestions? I am using Android version 5.0.2

Hello DWC, welcome to the Folding Support Forum.
If the phone has met the minimum requirements to fold, connected to the charger, 100% charge, and a WiFi connection, then there isn't much more we can do in this forum.
I did notice on the latest Folding@phone blog post these comments:
settings screen has been removed. No need to configure anything!
contribute processing time continuously: just connect to a WiFi network and a charger.

Thanks. It would be a good idea if that was added to the setup guide info, if there's no other way to let ordinary users know

I wasn't aware of an Android client setup guide on the Folding@home web site. Did you mean a guide in another location?DWC wrote:Thanks. It would be a good idea if that was added to the setup guide info, if there's no other way to let ordinary users know

Re: Inability to change settings after upgrade
Are there any settings implemented to select the CPU or GPU of the android device?

Re: Inability to change settings after upgrade
no, only CPU folding to my understanding at this point in time. Since some GPUs on mobile devices supporting OpenCL there might be some change in the future; only Sony and PG knows ...
Re: Inability to change settings after upgrade
In the view of the Android software developers, "settings are no longer needed"
