Took a while o figure out, but not everything on the boinc app is related to the world community grid project. So I was completing things on boinc but wasn't recieving created for wcg. After more digging, I found out the luckys wouldn't work on the wcg as they didn't have enough physical RAM.
I just installed it on a $10 Alcatel pixi avion and that is working, though at this point i am only 1-2% done 4 tasks.
Under preferences there is an option to keep the program running while the screen is on, and to use all the processors. By default, the settings only use half the processors. A new thread of a project works for each processor-thus there are four instances of the same project running on my phone. But the program suspends automatically when the battery gets too hot.
less than 1000 points a day on the avion.
