Electrum on Android

[bL4nkcode]

I used mi 9t pro as well as electrum and never had encounter such lagginess while using it.

I rebooted my phone and downloaded it again and it seems that it is running normal now. My internal storage was almost full when I downloaded it maybe it affected the app(I am not sure). Anyway, thanks for the inputs.

Maybe a ram issue? after opening lots of application in the background, and a full internal storage really has an effect to that, maybe it's one its the reason.

You can user trust wallet Instead in your phone.

You shouldn't prefer trustwallet to electrum, just because it's more user-friendly.
Electrum is open-source and trustwallet is close-source. When you use trustwallet, there is no way to know whether your keys are stored on their server or not. 
Electrum also allow you to make a transaction without your keys touching the internet. Being open-source and the ability of signing a transaction without being online are much more important than being more user-friendly.

It works fine for me and I tried it now to open my Electrum account on my phone which I seldom use it.  I used Huawei Nova 2 lite which is very cheap and affordable and it works fine and has no lag I encountered.

I admitted that Electrum mobile phone app is prone to hack and now this is a target of hackers because our phone was easy to get malware infection.  I recommend using your laptop or PC for a version of the Electrum app, it could be safer than the wallet app.

I discover that don't create your Electrum wallet on a mobile phone because it's possible that your recovery seed was in there and easily to compromise, you can import your seed to your mobile app that originally created on the desktop which is I presume it's safe than using a mobile phone.

Guys, I just want clear that what I meant to say when I said reboot was reformat(my bad). I deleted all files on my phone to free up space and downloaded again what I needed. And apparently that helped with the problem I faced when I first downloaded the mobile version of electrum.

I even use Electrum, even when I read my Smartphone worse than yours. But all went normally and smoothly. I'm currently using Version 4.1.4 with an MIT license. For my type of smartphone, it is Asus Zenfone 5 Second generation with 3GB ram and 64GB rom. I think try reinstalling your Electrum. Clean your Smartphone from useless files. But don't forget to backup everything first. As long as I use this version I have no problems.

Hmmm, I also have Electrum on my smartphone (Moto X4) and I didn't have any problem with that. It works normally!

What you commented, I believe the problem could be something related to the ""communication/compatibility"" of your smarthphone with Electrum (this is not certain)

@acroman08, I don't know if you were able to solve your problem!

But I will share some advice that can solve this hindrance.
• Uninstall and reinstall Electrum
• Delete useless apps and clean your smartphone to free up space
• Clear the Electrum cache
• Update your OS

If what I said doesn't work, I believe the way to solve this, is to reset your smartphone.

Hope this has helped you

You can read it yourself on the first page if the problem has been solved or not.  I am not sure that the problem will happen again but as I have read in the first page, acroman08 rebooted the phone and downloaded the electrum android version and works normally as mentioned in that post. So, it is solved already if you didn't know about it. I also have electrum but I seldomly use it and I prefer using fhe desktop version as it has more feature than the android version.

If you'd bothered to look at the more recent posts... like the one 2 posts above yours... you would have noted that the OP had actually clarified already that they did exactly that

People should be reading the entire thread... not just the first post or the first page and then clicking "Reply".

Exactly... sorry guys, but sometimes I try to help the user by giving the answer quickly, and I confess that sometimes I didn't even read the previous posts, I know, this is my fault, and this is not will happen again

Anyway... i'm glad @acroman08 can solved his problem and it wasn't anything serious.
I hope that the way he solved the problem will be of help to anyone who has a similar problem with Electrum on Android OS.
