Your device only assigns very little memory (32 MB) to each app. Thus, you are experiencing lots of out of memory errors. Try uninstalling all apps you don't really need.
[...] so your best bet is upgrading to a decent phone like the Galaxy Nexus.

Good to know that the problem is my aging device (HTC Desire HD)  Tongue

Well, the problem is really that we haven't finished (or even started) deploying bloom filters. It means the RAM requirements are going up over time as Bitcoin usage scales.

There's no theoretical reason Bitcoin can't run well on your phone. But as Andreas said, we haven't finished all the programming for that yet.

It already runs well on mobile devices through web-based thin clients. It may not be your ideal security scheme nor be a node like you like, but it works just fine for the end user. And they will move on without your suggestions.

No, Bitcoin will not die because everyone and their grandma is not running a node. Mining nodes can become numerous enough.

I just released 2.31 final to market. So key import/export is now available to everyone. Well mostly everyone. I had to raise the minimum requirement to Froyo (Android 2.2) and above.

Andreas, thanks for the updates!

In the first post it is mentioned that the Android heap limit is 4MB, on other devices it is 16 and 24 respectively. However, this heap limit applies to Dalvik, and not for Native code, so that's a solution, unless the author has already found a solution.

It's a process size limit:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-developers/2tW-jKJsHFE/discussion

so there's no native-code get out of jail free card.

As I said, we already know the solution.

What are the timestamps in the keys-file? Are they necessary?

Made up some timeformat and imported my vanitygen key \o/.

For personal uses I now totally switched to the android wallet Smiley

Maybe a nice feature would be to be able to import private keys trough qr-codes Smiley

I'm not sure if this has been addressed, but I think I accidentally sent bitcoins to an old address I had with this app. I have the prodnet.wallet fileand I was wondering how I can import the keys now that it uses a different wallet file.

Loving the key import feature. Now I have my mobile privkey backed up, and I don't have to worry about losing it.

Hi Bitcoin Wallet for Android Developer,

I have a tablet with BlackBerry Playbook system and I really would like to run Bitcoin Wallet app on it.
It's possible to repackage Android apps to BlackBerry App World, see: http://developer.blackberry.com/android/documentation/Mastertopic_1849583_11.html

Could you do it?

Thanks.

App is driving me nuts.. did a couple larger transactions fine and seemed useful as a utility. However now even after trying to reset the chain etc it just randomly decides I have unavailable balance, even if I have previously spent some and received none in the mean time. Really making me pull my hair out right now.

Reset blockchain, managed to get it up to date and send one transaction before it locked up again. Freezes after three resets on 2week sync, refuses to finish.. should have used that one transactions ti send my coins out!

BTC Long.

This is the same problem I'm having, if you start with an empty wallet, receive 10 Bitcoins, get a lot of confirmations, and you then  spend .01 Bitcoins, it now tells you that you have 9.99 Bitcoins waiting for confirmation again. This is a bug and needs to be fixed.

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.

"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.

There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

Thanks so much!  Grin

Edit: I'm not seeing how we are supposed to import our private key. Do I need to save it as some type of file?

Bingo. It is good if I want to make one transaction every six hours or more, but that's about the extent of it.

You only have to wait one block to spend coins. In future we'll let you spend change with no confirmations, but this is just a change to the spending policy. From the perspective of the Bitcoin network if you receive 10 coins, wait for 6 confirmations and then send 0.1 coins somewhere else, what actually happened behind the scenes is that you received a new payment of 9.9 coins back to yourself (as "change"). So it's correct that it's unconfirmed.

Of course, you don't really need to wait for confirmation in this case as you know you aren't going to double spend against yourself.
