Change the domain name creation process on Android #2846
Comments
@adamradocz, this could be not enough in the case when user has several devices with the same Manufacturer and Model. |
Yes, I'm aware of #2721 issue. I think this, or similar approach should be the standard of the device's domain name creation. After that, the user still should be able to modifí it if it wants. BTW, if the user can modify the device name, he or she still can add the same name for two different devices. And what about the |

Definitely, but if there is no way to modify device name manually then it will be confusing for user to see two devices with the same name because it would be too difficult to identify each device.
Looks better for me and definitely better than current behaviour |
Here's a stupid question from someone who doesn't run BOINC on Android. Doesn't the host list already contain extra information about Android devices? That extra information is only shown to the owner of the hosts so I can't go and look myself. |
@AenBleidd Thanks. So there is some information. Of course it still doesn't help if you have multiple devices of the same model. |
Yes, there is some information but if you have several same devices they will show equal or almost equal information because they have same hardware and probably the same version of software. So device name is the only way to identify definite device |
Describe the problem
The Boinc Client generates a domain name like
android_xxxxxxxx
on Android devices. It is really hard to track on the project's website which device how much point generated when you have multiple devices.Describe the solution you'd like
Change the domain name generation procedure to
Manufacturer - Model
, which is more human readable and recognizable then a random string.Additional context
The
boinc/client/hostinfo_network.cpp
file have to be modified.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
