Thank you, I read your answer yesterday, I saved 2 files found on "Downloads" folder (bitcoin-wallet-keys-2014-04-07 and bitcoin-wallet-backup-2014-09-06), first I emptied the wallet, but if I receive some money at that wallet with those files I can access the wallet. Later I resetted the phone to factory defaults.

if you still have access to the old wallet then load it up and go into the menu (varies but most of the time its the menu button on the phone) go to backups and export the keys they save to either download or downloads

now download the wallet from google play copy the exported keys to the same location on the new phone (has to be the same folder) open the new wallet go to menu and backup now import the keys. the blickchain will reset and the keys will be loaded into the wallet along with the new address and old addresses

Hello.

I want to move a wallet from an old Android phone to a new Android phone?

I want the wallet with addresses because I will delete all information in the old phone, and in case I receive coins in the wallet of the old phone they don't get lost. I have the backup but I coudln't restore to the new phone. Both phones have same version (Bitcoin for Android 3.56).

BTC Thank you in advance
