Topic: Can't scan Bitaddress paper wallet with my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Read 756 times)

I did some experimentation. Tried using a different printer. The result is the same. The QR-code is too tiny, it can't be scanned with my Samsung Android phone. Other QR-codes scan easily.

The only way to redeem bitcoins is to enter the private key manually.

Is there a paper wallet which can be scanned with a Samsung Galaxy S2?

Try to make the QR-Code larger by zooming in to fill your screen.
Also try other QR-Apps. Sometimes zooming function on the mobile cant be used. I never had problems with zxing.
I only use normal Bitcoin Wallet on mobile with max. of 0.5BTC right now: It is enough for most cases and the problem is something else when they get stolen!

I've tried that. The QR-code only gets more blurry when I zoom it and it won't scan. What's the best QR app for Android?

I tried out a paper wallet from bitaddress.org but I can't scan the QR code when it's printed out with my Samsung Galaxy S2 using either the Barcode scanner or the Android Bitcoin wallet. The QR codes don't look detailed enough.

I can retreive the bitcoins on it on my Blockchain.info account by manually entering the private key.

Are there paper wallets which have big hires QR codes and are trustworthy?
