Thanks for the replies.  I updated to version 4.4.5  

The developer/s have made the interface much more user friendly and easier to workout.   Smiley

That's help a lot, but the developer has not made that function obvious with everything in white text.
You are right. That has been designed very badly.
If you update your electrum to version 4.4.0 or versions after that, you will see that the UI has been designed much better, however it still lacks many features of the desktop version.


Instead of using manual/static, I suggest use mempool and always set it to 1mb below from the tip to avoid stuck transactions.
It's not a good idea to always set the target to 1 MB from the tip. Sometimes, you are not in hurry and you can save some amount of bitcoin with paying lower fees.
And whether you are in hurry or not, it would be better to check the mempool yourself and not only rely on electrum's estimation.

Electrum Version tested 4.3.4


You are using an older version of Electrum maybe some features on 4.3.4 is not the same as the newer version.
Would you mind to update it first to the latest version and try again
About the manual fee there are 3 options on finalize page ETA, Mempool and Static look at the image below

I sent a small bitcoin payment to test a wallet and the minimum slider fee was much higher than medium or higher fee on the mempool.  There is no manual option to set the miner fee on the Android version of Electrum.
You can't set the fee rate manually on android version of electrum, but you can change the fee estimation method to static and set the fee rate to 1, 2, 5,10,.... sat/vbyte

After you set the fiat to GBP, you can input the amount that you want to send in GBP



If you want to be able to customize the fee, you have to use desktop Electrum. Or you can use Bluewallet if you think the fee slider is not accurate enough.

You can't set the fee rate manually on android version of electrum, but you can change the fee estimation method to static and set the fee rate to 1, 2, 5,10,.... sat/vbyte.
The higher the fee rate to be used, the less the accuracy of the static fee rate. It would have been nice if Electrum developers make the fee to be customizable.

I have GBP set in setting but when I go to payment screen to type in value it always highlights sats for input and I have to tap GBP which is annoying.  Looks like I will have to try newest version as layout in your pic looks different.

Developer please add this option.

This is a bitcoin forum and the people answering here are users like you.
I think that if you want to discuss with the developers of Electrum (and make requests) you have better chances on their Github page.

I think the developers know about this clearly, but it is not what they want to include, or at least for now. Here is the issue raised about it in the past, but nothing done: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/6710#issue-735698273

I asked this question several months ago and you will find many answers to it Android Electrum manually editing fee

In short, I did not find a way to manually adjust the fees on the Android version, so using an alternative wallet is the appropriate option, and they may add this feature in future versions.

Also another option I would like is setting to be at GBP rather than sats on the pay/amount screen as it gets very annoying having to switch every time I make a payment.  A settings option to toggle this would be good.
Tap on the circle located at top right corner of the screen and go to "Preferences". Enable "Fiat Currency" and set the currency to GBP.

Electrum on Android

I sent a small bitcoin payment to test a wallet and the minimum slider fee was much higher than medium or higher fee on the mempool.  There is no manual option to set the miner fee on the Android version of Electrum.  Developer please add this option.

Also another option I would like is setting to be at GBP rather than sats on the pay/amount screen as it gets very annoying having to switch every time I make a payment.  A settings option to toggle this would be good.

Can I also have the amount show also in GBP on the final screen where I select to transmit the payment.

Electrum Version tested 4.3.4
