Title: Electrum for Android cannot send btc out
Post by: Molech on September 22, 2015, 03:38:56 PM
     So, went through the installation process for Electrum on android and as far as I can tell i did everything correctly. I tested it by sending a small amount of btc from another wallet and no problems there. When i tried to send it out to I recieve an error message that literally just says "error." I didn't know if maybe i had entered the wrong password/entered it incorrectly but I don't believe I did that. I checked for problems with the destination address I entered and tried scanning the qr code but i got the same results there. Could it be because I messed with the transaction fee amount in the settings? I haven't really messed with anything else other than to password protect everything. I am trying to send out the exact amount that is in the wallet.

Its certainly a bad error. When you try to send everything do you deduct the fees? Most wallets (including Electrum AFAIK) try to send the amount you specifiy and take the fees from other inputs. If you want to spend everything the desktop version allows you to enter "!" as amount. I dont know if that also works in android, but its something you can try. Other than that try to lower the amount slightly and see if you get the same error.

Alright changing the transaction fee seems to have worked!
