I don't know what went on here, either:
a) Two wallets were created. In which case the easiest way to solve it will be to just find the wallets and login through the web interface. Do you know the ip address that was used to create them?
b) Perhaps there was a syncing issue caused by using both apps simultaneously, causing one to overwrite each-others wallet. Login through the web interface click [Import / Export] the [Import backup] and click the import link next to each backup.
Topic: Lost blockchain.info android client coin? (Read 861 times)
I was showing a new user how to use bitcoin on his phone and here is what happened:
He went to blockchain.info and made a wallet with a password
I sent 1btc to this address
One of the website buttons was being unresponsive on his S3, so he downloaded the blockchain.info android app instead
he opened the app and it asked to "pair device" or "new account"
he pressed "back" to get rid of that dialog box
he went to receive coins and copied the btc address
he opened the browser blockchain wallet again, hit send coins, pasted the address, deleted the first part of it where it says "bitcoin: " and sent .999 btc with a .001 fee to it
the coins never showed up in the android wallet, so he opened the client up again and looked at the receive address, and it had changed to something else. They both started with "1F" though
Where the hell did the original address come from and where are the coins?
