How about Mycelium for android devices guys? Does it supports the split? I already transfered all my bitcoins into it and I still have no idea if it is really safe to hold it there I am using android device and our local wallet is undecided if they are going to accept or not about the result on August 1 chain split.

Yes, Mycelium, Electrum etc mobile wallet is completely safe to use hold your BTC during the Hard-Fork on Aug 1. Also it supports the split, I can confirm it.

You guys should look into this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-handling-splits-uasfs-bip148-etc-2012799

I asked coinomi support, how they are prepared for August 1 and we can hold our bitcoins on coinomi. They gave me the link for detailed infos:
https://medium.com/@coinomi/on-bitcoin-fork-and-how-to-stay-on-the-safe-side-dcfed3eadef9
Even the free BCC will be paid to coinomi, at split, sp that bcc can be sent, private keys exportet and more.
Maybe there are also other android wallets which are prepared for bitcoin fork. You could post them here.

I am an Android user and access this forum and most of my Bitcoin activities over phone. Instead of relying on wallets, I have my own strategy.
I have created public and private keys using BitAddress and sent my funds onto it. Keys are easily accessible with mobile with Electrum and Mycelium so its best solution and I need not wait about other wallets' decision over BCC.

Thank you guys and also all nonquoted for your great advices.
So we all can also with our phones go relaxed through hard fork.

There are atleast two more that I know;
Jaxx
Electrum

Both haven't made any official announcement but as both of them give you private keys of your bitcoin address you can call them safer android wallet to store your bitcoins during hardfork.

As long as the Android Wallet has a feature of saving your private keys then everything was fine.

Even that wallet won't support the other chain, it's still possible to choose your own preferred chain since you hold your private keys. Furthermore, there are instructions available Im sure if ever chain split will happened. I preferred Mycelium and Electrum for Android although I relied on Electrum much even on my desktop.

Also mycelium looks good, I guess. But to asure, I sent them a support ticket. Let's have a look, what they will answer. You have your private keys on mycelium so you should also be able to transfer them.

Though we don't know if what they'll support, old btc that we used to or the other, as long as you can export the private keys, it will be fine. Aside from coinomi, both Mycellium and Electrum android wallet has the feature, I think there are many other wallets too. However, I prefer desktop wallet more.

So far not only Viabtc,bitfinex and Kraken supporting Bitcoin Clone aka 'BCC' other exchanger also support this coin,like Bittrex,Coinomi and Anyother Exchanger.But the only exchanger i know that doesn't support BCC is only Coinbase (Because they want to protect their investor and they claimed that BCC has some issue[easy to attack]),
For me no matter what who's accepting it or not it's not our problem,our problem are to protect our money and our assets.and the solution is finding a wallet that give you an access to your 'private keys',with that you have an access to your clone.

You are right but Coinomi isn't an exchanger. It is a wallet where you have your private keys. It has many good features like easily creating brain wallet, self adjusting fees, smooth handling and so on.
But I would never use anymore the exchanger that is an extern service (only integrated in coinomi but is not their own). This exchanger is very expensive for my opinion.

So there are many opportunities for android users to get their bitcoin safe over the fork. I searched long to also grab the bcc without doing anything on a wallet and had that all the time under my nose with coinomi

But your suggestions are great for more opportunities. Exchangers, who are good prepared for split are also good for bitcoin owners, who don't want to use their pc.
Maybe there are also iOS wallets that support the split? And windows phone (is it still alive ?)

Your coins will be safe in the Bitcoin.com android wallet: https://www.bitcoin.com/choose-your-wallet/bitcoin-com-wallet
The wallet does not have bitcoin cash support yet but will soon, you do have access to your keys with this wallet so can import them into a wallet with bitcoin cash support if needed.

Until this point, I only knew some exchanges paltform which stated to support bcc : Viabtc, Bitfinex and Kraken (http://blog.kraken.com/post/1150/bitcoin-cash-and-a-critical-alert-for-bitcoin-margin-traders/)
But, there's no any wallet mention about bcc support, they just said as long as you have private keys, then bcc is yours as well.
Bitcoin cash may has certain wallet and for now only on those exchanges, but not same as bitcoin wallet for sure.
I assume that BCC is an altcoin which traders will happily to sell it, so if bcc developer want to, they will create Android wallet for it.

Many of the well-known and big wallet service providers have already taken their stand on the possible fork. Some are supportive of both the real Bitcoin and the spin-off called BitcoinCash while there are others who are shutting their doors to BitcoinCash. Right now, many of the wallet users are already aware of their service provider's stand on this matter. As to exchange, I am using Bittrex right now and they are supportive of both coins.
