Pixel Tablet Pogo Pins not seen as power source.

[Pynamorous]

Describe the bug
Using Boinc for Android 8.0.0 app, the Pixel Tablet won't compute while charging.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Navigate to Preferences
2. Select Power Source under Power
3. Tick all except Battery

Expected behavior
Under preferences>power>power source for computation, the only way to actually perform work on a Pixel Tablet ( Android 14 ) is to select battery, as none of the options: wall socket, usb connection nor wireless charger work, this requires me to select battery which I would rather not do; I only want it to compute when it is on it's dock. The Pixel Tablet charges on it's dock through Pogo Pins.

Screenshots
Screenshot added below.

System Information

• OS: Android 14
• BOINC Version: 8.0.0 for Android

Additional context
Please note in the uploaded screenshot, all of the power sources except for battery are selected and in the top right the pixel tablet is definitely charging ( it is sitting on it's charging dock, with pogo pins attached ), yet it does not see this as a suitable power source.

I have also observed this, but it will eventually start computing. By eventually I mean sometime over the course of a day. It's not a few minutes or something trivial like that. At the moment mine reports: "Computing will resume when battery charge reaches 85% (currently 88%)"

Possibly related is this also happens on a Pixel 4a, but only after it has been connected to a charger long enough for AOSP's battery protection feature to kick in (takes maybe 2 days or something, limits battery to 80%). BOINC will report enough battery but still not compute. Until eventually it does. I have no idea why but that's two Pixels using a battery protection feature (the Tablet will only charge to 90% with the pogo pins) so my guess is the AOSP battery protection is confusing BOINC.

Interesting, I've never left it that long to see if it will; I might try it but every time I reboot my tablet I'll lose a day of computing time, that's crazy. I also need to create a report about my phone but I haven't got around to seeing if there are already others made I can trouble shoot from. I put Boinc for Android on my Pixel 8 and it just continually goes to error, it's not as big of a deal because I will only let it compute when it charges ( over night every other day ), since it's my phone and not just something that will be sitting on a charger most of the time or something; I really hope these things get fixed I read somewhere Boinc for Android used to have a huge amount of issues. Like I said I'm going to sit down and do some general searching once I get time and reinstall the app on my Pixel phone before I put the report in so I don't waste anyone's time.

Mine just started computing, so it might not take half a day every time. I never have the patience to check in on it regularly but it is otherwise perfect for computation what with being on the dock 95% of any given week doing nothing else.

For what it's worth I checked all power sources in the list and chose 85% battery knowing the dock will keep it at 90% or just below. It should eventually work.
