Highly recommend either blockchain.info or even better mycelium. it's a great wallet for android 
I've heard a lot about mycelium. Blockchain has way to many things required to log in for my daily wallet use.

I mainly dislike this wallet because it is so slow...
Ahhh I was wrong on what I did...
I send BTC to a paper wallet then imported it to my phone and recorded the paper wallet's address as my phone address by mistake :S....
The wallets don't keep the private keys they have swept in memory eh..?

I didn't actually understand what exactly is the problem. Can you answer these?
1) Which wallet are you using?
2) After you imported, you saved the public key in wallet and deleted private key?
Hum... Version 4.24, https://github.com/schildbach/bitcoin-wallet.
That help?
It was an actual peice of paper... I threw it out.. :S.. Pretty sure I am screwed lol, o well. I sent coins to it from my one phone and imporated it with the other.. alas I recorded that address as my "new phone" address.. bad move. Just thought maybe my old phone stored the private key it scanned but I have my doubts.
I really had no intention to reuse the wallet.

I depreciate using Blockchain.info for spending coins from a paper wallet especially if you are reusing. Either use Mycelium or import it to an Android wallet like Bither.

Didn't get what you were trying to say but can figure out a few things, so you sent the money to paper wallet right?I send BTC to a paper wallet then imported it to my phone and recorded the paper wallet's address as my phone address by mistake :S....

And then how did you import the paper wallet to your mobile? Did you import the address only(without the private key)? Or did you import it with its private key?
Although it doesn't matter how did you import it, the balance should have been visible.
And if you sent the money to paper wallet and still have that paper wallet's address and private key intact with you(generally written on the paper wallet) then your money can be recovered.
Just open a blockchain.info wallet and import the key there(google out for instructions, blockchain.info is well documented), doing this will recover your wallet.

Did you make a backup? Use that if you have it. But I'm not sure what you encrypted. Was it a public key?
I encrypted the wallet. Well encrypted it / made a back up. I was thinking it made a totally new wallet thus the old wallet is gone. I am hoping I am wrong.
I do have that backup on my phone though but it's the same wallet.. I will try it and see what happens.

I e-mailed myself the address before I encrypted it... I sent a 200 milli bits there....
Are they gone?
Are they gone?
Why would they? Did you delete anything or have you lost your phone?
Haven't deleted anything... It might be a differnet wallet and not my new phone.. I was pretty positive it was my new phone though. I figured as soon as I encrypted it that it scrapped the old wallet address thus.. I don't have the private key ne more.
It doesn't make sense. What did you encrypt? why would you encrypt "an address"?
