Can't update Android App

[galmeida]

Hi,

How can I update Android App without uninstall the current version? I have version 2.9.3 and need to update to 3.0.6. In Google Play, it shows that it's already installed and I can't update it. I downloaded the APK file, but I can't install it over the current version.

Thanks.

If you can not make an update on current version,then it is the best solution to make clean install.If you have a seed it should not be problem to uninstall 2.9.3 version and restore your wallet with seed in 3.0.6.

I do not know what is the reason which prevents you to upgrade,but problem may be in Google Play,current version of Electrum,or there is some bug with your Android OS.Anyway it is best to make clean install(if you have your seed) to prevent any problems with old/new files.

Try if these will work:

1. Clear your Google Play Store App Cache. If you're willing to re-log in to your google account again, click the Clear Data as well. (Phone Settings > Application Management > Google Play Store > Clear Cache / Clear Data)
2. Sync your google account on your Phone Settings > Accounts
3. Reboot your device
4. Go to play store > Log in (if you Clear Data) > Check if there's an update available

Where did you download the current app from?
Where did you get the apk file you downloaded from?
What error message is showing when you try to install the apk file over the current app?

The Electrum website hosts an apk file you can sideload: https://download.electrum.org/3.0.6/Electrum-3.0.6.0-release.apk
You can verify the signature of the apk file also: https://download.electrum.org/3.0.6/Electrum-3.0.6.0-release.apk.asc
