Bring back some options on android app. (ver. 4.0.2.)

[carnage88]

Hi, I'm using electrum on android.

I wonder why we don't have option to save address. I used this option to save my frequently used addresses, now I see only option to create invoice which isn't usable. Also I found bug, when you create invoice with 0btc you cant go back in the main menu, you are stuck, only option is delete invoice or close app.

Another thing is, why is removed pin as security on login. It would be great if we can choose security as every phone have these days. But bring pin back would be great.

Another thing would be great to give option to export wallet addresses, used, unused, funded and so on.

You can put the pin in on your phone on the keyboard that pops up. It's a little confusing as I can't work out one of mine (I remember the seed) but I'll have to bruteforced that.

They added a lot of features to the new android app though!

Actually, the latest version of Electrum on Android currently has many bugs reported on Electrum Github. Which is I think the Electrum app still in beta version?

You can check this link below to see the other bugs about the latest version of the Electrum app.

I suggest you install a known stable/working version of the Electrum app without any bugs.

You can download old version from here https://download.electrum.org

The known stable/working version is 3.3.8 so you must choose this version but before you downgrade make sure you have a backup seed/wallet.

As a workaround, create a no-expiration invoice using that address(es):
Go to "Menu->Addresses", click on the address and tap "receive"; Set the timer (clock-icon) to "Never" and set a very large amount, then click "Request".
That invoice will be saved in the list below the receive tab as pending and wont be deleted unless the set amount was covered.

Also I found bug, when you create invoice with 0btc you cant go back in the main menu, you are stuck, only option is delete invoice or close app.

I can't reproduce this as I can either click "close" or back navigation button to go back to the main menu.
I'm using v4.0.2 for arm-v8 (64bit).

No mine auto updated from the olaystore. So it is the most recent version of the app that's been released... Like I said it has a lot of new features so some of the bugs might be due to the usage of those...

That version stop working for me, if I remember correctly it was some network error. That's why I upgrade to new ver.

Thing is that few addresses that I previously saved always shown with labeled by names I saved them on the transaction list. But I can't access that list of my saved addresses, instead I must put them manually by copying them from TX list and paste it when I'm sending.

Anyway I have already gotten use to it.

For someone who gives technical advice, you don't have adequate general security measures if you have the auto-update option activated on your smartphone. You actually fully believe that Google Play delivers 100% secure content and don't check any apps before downloading. New features may not be an excuse for some old features no longer working, but it's not wise to upgrade to a new version as soon as it becomes available.

Please try using the Preview button before posting your posts, you have too many typos...

Network error in terms of your mobile network or app could not sync properly? It is possible that there is some new Android update that caused the problems, but in my case 3.3.8 works quite normally with the latest update from Android. Since you have a seed, you can try to uninstall the current version and try again with 3.3.8, but to do a clean install you should manually delete all the files from the Electrum data folder - which according to some information is not possible if you do not have rooted phone.
