Not sure if this question should go here or over on the BOINC website.

Purely for kicks, I installed BOINC and S@H on my Galaxy Tab 2. Everything runs ok - I've even gotten a few credits.

I added an SD micro chip, but can't get either BOINC or S@H to use it.

Is there a setting or something somewhere to tell S@H to move to the SD chip?

The Android version is 4.2.2, which is current for this device.

When you install the application, you would need to set the installation drive to the one that is mapped to the SD chip.

On all of my Android devices I don't get the option of "Move to SD Card" for BOINC. I imagine this was a choice they made for the app. As many devices unmount the SD card when connected to a PC. Some devices also unmount the SD card in low power states.

That squares with what I'm seeing. I found a message thread on the BOINC site dated 2014 indicating that the ability to move BOINC to the SD chip would be forthcoming in a future release.

Guess it didn't make it.

Thanks.
