BlockChain Mobile Wallet Does Not Pair Up

[RaylonS]

I created a new walled on Blockchain's website and downloaded their iPhone app on my iPHone 5

On the iPhone app, when I try to pair with the wallet it scans the QR code on my screen and says it's not valid. Another app scans the QR code and shows me what Blockchain calls "My BitCoin Address" which is really just the ID of that wallet.

Anyways I know the QR code is correct but the app doesn't want to accept it. Has anyone else had this issue? My only guess is because the wallet is empty but that didn't really make sense so I'm at a loss.

Thanks for any advice on this.

Also taking suggestions for other good mobile-to-web apps for wallet management.

Cheers

Bump, need some advice

i think you should to reinstall it  cause that apps have a problem

[RaylonS]

Good suggestion, I didn't think of it because the app does fire up ok.

Unfortunately it's doing the same thing as before. I don't get why.

At this point I'm ready to try another iPhone app that lets me store/manage Bc on my mobile.

[SouthernTiger]

okay. maybe you want to try coinbase apps? i just suggest it 

[RaylonS]

They pulled the Coinbase app from the iTunes store some time ago.

Any other ideas? I can't believe I'm the only one with this issue - does it need to go in a more visible forum?

Have you used BlockChain & successfully linked your web and mobile wallet? I want to hear from you!

[SouthernTiger]

yes, i've use blockchain. but i had to reinstall it 4times to pair it. because the qr generator not working.

[RaylonS]

Oh wow, really? Then maybe I will try a few more times, thanks for the tip. I'll report back on status!

OK UPDATE - ITS WORKING

Sorry to have overlooked a crucial step. When you log into the Blockchain website they display a QR string next to your wallet. Silly me thinking this was the one to scan, but the steps on the mobile app make it clear to go into your account and click 'Devices' to display the QR string. Once I did that, I got a new QR string and the mobile app recognized it and now it seems my (empty) wallet is showing on the mobile app.

Thanks for the tips & your patience. Hopefully some other newb will find this and not be tripped up like I was.

Moral of the story: When in doubt, read the instructions

[SouthernTiger]

haha. okay i got it. so before this you scan at the qr code of your address?

[RaylonS]

Yes exactly.

I thought I was trying to tell my mobile app "This is my wallet, now sync it" but what I really needed to do was tell my mobile app "This is my blockchain account, now sync it".
