Title: Android - not working as expected
Post by: xlynx on June 19, 2014, 12:06:05 AM
I installed Electrum on Android by following the official instructions (https://electrum.org/android.html), and chose to restore my wallet by scanning the QR code given by the desktop version under Wallet -> Seed. This is the result:

In Electrum on my desktop, I have a balance of ~0.023 BTC, and 4 items in my history. On Android I see "0." and no recent transactions.

  • What might be wrong?
  • Where is the user data stored / how do you remove the wallet to try again?

1. What is the gap_limit for your desktop client? If you don't know what this means, what version of electrum did you create your seed on?
2. Wallet data is stored in the SD card's root folder, I believe. It should be called electrum.dat you can rename electrum.dat to electrum.dat.old etc. and then restarting Electrum will prompt for creating a new wallet or restoring.
