Topic: BEST ANDROID BITCOIN WALLET ? (Read 3826 times)
Thanks Husna QA.

I don't intend to use it for anything but a small holder of Bitcoin as I do intend to get a hardware wallet to store it properly. Presumably the challenge will be to later find a wallet that handles more than just Bitcoin.
If you are focus on storing Bitcoin, you can use the Blue Wallet Application on Android or iPhone (https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet). Blue wallet also supports lightning wallet, so you can use it to transact small amounts using bitcoin. Other features, Blue wallet, can also be connected to a hardware wallet that supports PSBT*: https://bluewallet.io/features/.I don't intend to use it for anything but a small holder of Bitcoin as I do intend to get a hardware wallet to store it properly. Presumably the challenge will be to later find a wallet that handles more than just Bitcoin.
I do not affiliate with a Blue wallet; please look for further references if you want to try it. DWYOR.

I'm looking for my first Android wallet (I should say first wallet really). Husna QA, you very kindly directed me to Bitcoin.org to compare some wallets. I've seen a fair few suggested now, and I saw the thread for WalletScrutiny (very interesting reading and nice clean site). Bitcoin Wallet looked to be given a clean bill of health and I've seen people given it the thumbs up despite it maybe being basic? So I think that might be a good one to start with for me being new?

For a first time, newcomer to Bitcoin, would this be as good as any to start with?
Many thanks

It depends on your needs. Wasabi and Samourai are better for enhanced privacy. Bitcoin Wallet and OWNR will be better for inexperienced users.
As far as I know, there is currently no Android version of Wasabi (https://wasabiwallet.io/#download). So it's a bit less relevant to suggest Wasabi wallet in the thread about Bitcoin Wallet for Android.

I have been using coinbase for awhile. and i would recommend to you
I suggest to look into Samourai Wallet for a good balance between security and privacy and for everyday spending with an incredibly easy-to-use Lightning network wallet I would go for Muun.
I have been using the blockchain wallet for a long period of time and until now you have not had any problems inside it is a safe and reliable wallet and it has multiple protection systems and I recommend using it
My android BTC bitcoin wallet should be the same like my windows wallet 
I use Atomic Wallet for both my Android phone and Windows computer. Atomic Wallet supports more than 300 cryptocurrencies. It's a non-custodial wallet. You have full control of your keys. It's secure and anonymous. For BTC transactions, you have the option to adjust the fees if you want to make it cheaper or a faster transaction. 
Breadwallet on an Android phone (needs Marshmallow or Nougat OS) is most secure because it uses protected hardware storage.
I used it a while back, find it rather clunky. UI is displeasing, takes minutes to sync the wallets — they raised millions in ICO iirc, meanwhile there are wallets which were made freely from scratch and still work better.
Have you tried Coin Wallet on Android?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinspace.app
it has Exchange and Buy bitcoin options https://www.coin.space

I feel confortable with coinomi that is also a multicoin wallet (eth, etc, monero and many others) you have the possession of the seed / keys you can sign a transaction and choose the fees,there is also a desktop / pc version...
Hi guys, which one wallet will you recommend for mobile? it should be safe at first.
The safest and easiest wallet for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=pt_BRBitcoin Wallet for Android
for iPhone iOS recommend BitWallet
Remember to encrypt your wallet with a secure enough password and back up your wallet if you do not know how to manage your funds safely and only transfer when you get confidence...
Thanks friend for suggestions. I appreciate it.

I used verious Wallets, Blockchain as my main android wallet and breadwallet which is more userfriendly
I use medishares on my android phone and exodus on platform.
Both are good!
Both are good!
Medishares or MDS is a ERC20 token it's not a mobile wallet for Android and their official website doesn't work to me.
Exodus is not safe as you think even I don't have any experience about this wallet there are many users said that this wallet is not safe that is why until now I don't use the wallet.
If you want to use a crypto wallet with multiple altcoins and bitcoin Coinomi for me is the best for mobile
I use medishares on my android phone and exodus on platform.

I tried Breadwallet once... it refused to work with "custom" keyboards... and also with "rooted" phones, citing "security" issues. 
It also seemed to drain a lot of battery and data, so I stopped using it altogether and just went with Mycelium. It may be better now, I haven't tried it in quite a while.

I also use Electrum in a smartphone also and agree that it is a basic version
of the desktop option but works as it should and is simple.
I have also got Coinomi installed but have only used it for LTC and ETC, no
issues with it and no ads.
Is anyone using the Breadwallet as suggested earlier in the thread? This from
their app data.

Hi. From your experience guys which wallet is good for android phone? with which wallet i can backup bitcoin private keys offline, without being connected to internet?
Electrum has an Android version (but it is a bit feature limited compared to desktop version, does the basics OK).Mycelium is a pretty decent wallet... although the developers have previously made some questionable choices (intrusive ads, promoting "dubious" Russian ICOs, broken promises, Mycelium ICO disaster etc)
Samourai is an up and coming wallet (although technically still in "Alpha" test)
All of those wallets use "seed mnemonics" (aka "12 words") to enable you to create offline backups of private keys. If none of those look any good for what you want, you can always try looking at the other options here: https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/mobile/android/
I have two wallets in my android mobile. Coinbase and Electrum wallets. Segwit adds more value to Electrum and supports ERC-20 tokens. So Electrum seemed best. So secured and protected with seed phrases. If you are looking for less transaction fees and quick transactions, best use Electrum in your android mobile. Coinbase is one of the best wallets though it supports only four altcoins. Set up 2FA authentication factor to avoid issues in future.
I am always looking for a wallet that uses 2FA system, the security is very secure because someone who can find and open the wallet that I have is a person who knows about the smartphone we have or other tools connected to the 2FA system. Actually, I also use coinbase for my android wallet, and so far I'm comfortable using it.I have two wallets in my android mobile. Coinbase and Electrum wallets.

absolutely agree, and i hope it will develop more and more ,
potential good - product new )))
Is it truly can store erc20 tokens? If yes, then I will try it and test if it is suitable and best for me than web wallets. I usually use my android phone than using a computer. That is why I need an android wallet app to store my coins I got from bounties and airdrops. Thanks for this mate

I use coinomi wallet as a bitcoin storage wallet in android, let alone coinomi wallet which can also store other cryptocurrency including litecoin, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, not to mention a number of token ether. You can also set a pin and password for security
I find Coinbase and Electrum wallets are secured in android mobiles as I use these wallets. Other wallets must be more secured but as I do use these wallets I can confirm on these wallets. I use Electrum for Segwit address and Coinbase for normal bitcoin address. Electrum charges less transaction fees compared to Coinbase as Electrum is Segwit upgraded. Coinbase will soon upgrade Segwit. Work is going on behind. So these two wallets can be used I would suggest.
But coinbase wallet is easy to hack if you don't have 2 Factor Authentication because it is easy to hack your e-mail and reset your passwords.So I never recommend coinbase as secured wallet but I am also using coinbase for my signature campaign rewards and I never faced any problems while sending and receiving so in that case coinbase is good.And Electrum wallet also good for android so we can use that for cheap and secured transaction.The other option is blockchain.info wallet is also best and fee is less when compared to coinbase wallet.

Just because ive tried it but I don't necessary recommend it
Lykke wallet seems promising so far

i think mycelium is one of the best.
it is very fast and it allows you to manually set the transaction fees as you wish.
plus you are in control of the private keys and you can restore them from the backup if something happens to your phone.
also coinbase is not a wallet it is an exchange. they hold your private keys and they control your coins. if they get hacked you can not recover your wallet.

I think none is secure. Every app on andriod is vulnerable. just choose one with much reviews
use blockchain.info for phone Best sync and high security
blockchain.info is not the best choice in terms of security
its a web based application
and its transaction fee calculator is screwy
I have several transactions with a suggested "normal" fee pending for more than a month now
without mempool dropping them too
If you haven't seen it already check out the Enjin Wallet. It's great. Massive altcoin support too. Ability to add custom ERC-20 tokens added as well.
Out of all of the Android wallets that have been proposed here, which ones support SegWit? According to the official site, the only one on here that has already deployed SegWit compatibility is Electrum, and I am not even sure if the Android version is updated with it either. Furthermore, Electrum does not have the best of reviews down at Google Play. I am also not sure when the last time the compatibility list got updated was, so it is possible some on here besides Electrum do actually support it. I also cannot find any wallets with good ratings on Google Play.

Is it better then Coinbase?
Coinbase isn't a wallet. It's an app to interact with the exchange.
I have used quite a few mentioned here (Mycelium, Breadwallet, Blockchain). I personally recommend Copay. They have a very simple to use interface and are great for new users.
Mycelium is also good for more advanced users as it has more functionality. Breadwallet is ok too. I found Blockchain annoying as I had to have network connectivity to see my balance etc. This was frustrating if I was on a plane (or somewhere without network connectivity) and wanted to double check the size of a recent transaction or my current balance.
Breadwallet on an Android phone (needs Marshmallow or Nougat OS) is most secure because it uses protected hardware storage.

Your phone will be always safe as your phone never root because its decrease your security of your phone and possibility the can monitor or getting the hide files of your wallet.
Install antivirus can help protect your phone from any malware and viruses..
as of now never experience any problemwith my phone and always updating my ESET antivirus because i can set the security into quarantine if it detected some suspicious apps in my phone..
The good thing you can easily understand how mycelium work and you can backup your 12 word phrase.

My android BTC bitcoin wallet should be the same like my windows wallet
so far, I use mycelium, jaxx, and electrum and it is work best for me although maybe in out there, there is another wallet that might give the best service. I don't have any problem with that wallet and until now, I can manage the wallet and I see the dev release many updates to make the wallet secure for their customer. besides that, the fee for the wallet can be arranged so we can choose the fee as we want.
I have the same problem, and am listening to some comments as my reference.
I want to find a safe wallet for my android.

Not need but when you use web wallet + android one you will increase Security .
use blockchain.info for both web and phone Best sync and high security + low fee
I use the android coinomi wallet application, easy to use for users who do not understand the world of technology. You can also sign your own wallet. So if you later lose your bitcointalk account, you can make coinomi as proof that your account has been signed by yourself using coinomi application, because in it already have your own sign.
For me coinomi is one of the best wallets, cause it has already a lot of cryptocurreny in there.
I use blockchain wallet on my android and it's pretty good and super secure
For my android phone i use mycelium wallet . i found its a good one
I use Luno Bitcoin Wallet for android
Luno Bitcoin Wallet must be owned by those looking for a smart, easy, and secure way to sell, buy, store and use Bitcoin regardless of whether you are new to Bitcoin or an expert user.

Coins.ph wallet I used on 3 weeks and have no problems happen, everything is free, released on ch play
People must know also that coinsph is exclusively good for Philippine people only because it has huge benefits to all people live here, since I'm from PH. But you can use this site/exchange/wallet to send and receive btc, and I guess there's no tx fee if you send from coinsph to coinsph user. But there's no feature on that site, to access your private keys, and can't signed message. Breadwallet on an Android phone (needs Marshmallow or Nougat OS) is most secure because it uses protected hardware storage.
Are you referring to ARM TurstZone? Do you know how the keys are being provisioned there?

For my android I use mycelium wallet, very much handy, many features and I feel more comfortable using this one than having to use online wallet.
Is there any project going on with the goal of making storage and use of several cryptocurrencies easy and understandable for the average end consumer?
Without the need for several wallets, pass phrases etc. IMO this would help to fuel the broader usage of all cryptocurrencies.

I just recently moved back to android and Mycellium seems to be quite secure with a ton of features.
Bread wallet is one of the good wallet i just test it few days ago but i am satisfied with mycelium wallet which is more easy to use than bread wallet..
Like other said bread wallet is annoying to use because of asking password when using it..
Check this comparison.

I used Mycelium wallet for android and I never faced any issues since I used this wallet. And it's secured as I thought you can visit its own board on this forum here. You can sign message there to proved that those address belongs to you.

Go with Electrum for Android. ThomasV has done a pretty neat job when creating Electrum for Android. It has a lot of features just like the PC version. It is protected with a seed like in the PC version and with a PIN instead of the password since it is in your phone. I strongly advise you as you are already saying yourself to use the same wallet even in your phone. Since I installed it on my phone a J7 Prime from Samsung I deleted all other wallet apps including Breadwallet as I don't want to have a security pattern in my phone, thing that is forced when you are using Breadwallet.

Well what is your windows wallet ?
I use "Bitcoin wallet" it is quite ok, but more like for non IT persons, i might search for another one, but i can recommend it for people who dont want to bother with technical details.
Thanks for your attention guys, well i use on my pc Electrum wallet shall i have same on my android, is it necessary ?
