Inability to change settings after upgrade

[DWC]

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.

This Android client was designed by, and is supported by Sony. Please see the links in this forum post about where to get news and support for this client. viewtopic.php?f=100&t=27715 See also the Developer contact links at the bottom of the Google Play - Folding client page where the client was downloaded: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ting&hl=en

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?

Are there any settings implemented to select the CPU or GPU of the android device?

[ChristianVirtual]

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 ...

In the view of the Android software developers, "settings are no longer needed"
