Title: Android Bitcoin wallet, bitcoins lost¿?
Post by: Usuario1010 on February 15, 2015, 02:28:32 PM
Hi everyone,

Today I transfered 0.4 BTC from one adress to another bitcoin adress (Bitcoin Wallet, Android). I initialised the app and touched the QR button and write down the adress, and made the transfer. My surprise started when I saw it had 14 confirmations already and my bitcoins didn`t appear in my wallet. Later, I saw that the number which appeared in the QR Button (of the main screen) has changed.

I restored my wallet twice but it has worked, my bitcoins seems to have been disappeared.

Is it possible my mobile phone is hacked? Has anyone suffered something like this?

Please, I want to solve this problem, I'm really worried.

Thank you.

What wallet you used ?
there are 2 possibility:
1. your confirmation still pending, are you use fee or not?
2. yes you hacked, clean your device now.

I used the Bitcoin Wallet for Android. The founder is a member of this forum, Andreas.
I don't know if I used a fee or not, but I havent received the transfer yet.
I have made transfers to the same wallet after that and I can receive the bitcoins without any problem.
Is it possible that the program has had some bug or something wrong? ???

and write down the adress, and made the transfer. My surprise started when I saw it had 14 confirmations already and my bitcoins didn`t appear in my wallet.

I hope that you did copy/paste, not write down with a pencil - I really hope that you didn't write one character wrong.

Later, I saw that the number which appeared in the QR Button (of the main screen) has changed.

A good wallet creates new receive address every time, I hope that's the case for you too.

I restored my wallet twice but it has worked, my bitcoins seems to have been disappeared.

You restored the PC / main wallet, I assume. As the transaction is on the blockchain and confirmed.. the money is actually sent somewhere.

Yep, the transfer is visible. Now let's see where is that address going to.
I'll guess that android wallet is a light wallet.
I had such issue once with a light wallet - it "missed" some transactions. It was on PC, it was for a different coin, but maybe this helps you too: it had an option "reset blockchain and transactions". After clicking that, it took some time to read everything again, but then my missing transactions where there.

I hope you can do the same and retrieve your money.

Solved! I synchronized the wallet and the bitcoins have appeared!

I did the same 30 hours after the transfer and they didn't appear, and now I decided to try again and the problem have been solved!

Thanks to everybody! The help I've received in this forum is amazing.
