The latest generally available version is 1.3.3, and the  release notes were published here:
I have added the above to the OP

(You can see all the releases/tags in the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet/tags but unfortunately we haven't linked the release notes of the individual versions to the GitHub repository.)

Is this the latest changelog for the main (non-beta, non-testnet) branch? Can you link to these (and the beta, testnet version changelogs) in the OP? It's hard to find these throughout the thread.

Its in our issue tracker, we will walk through all those issues and feature requests which have been piling up once we got the HD version out to production

Make /model of phone?
Why do they think circuitry was damaged? It takes a hell of a lot of impact force to kill a circuit board.

I downloaded this to my android few days back. I have transferred all my Bitcoin from desktop wallet to Mycelium. I have also created a backup. Well, I found MyCelium useful and.. we can use it anywhere as long as our smartphone is with us!

Thanks.


The Mycelium clipboard import feature doesn't recognize encrypted private keys and the button stays greyed out.  Since text doesn't work, I'll have to use qr.
The only way I've found to take a pre-existing private key and generate a bip38 encrypted qr is:
Paste key in bit2factor.org, create encrypted text key.
Convert text to qr code using goqr.me or some other text-to-qr generator.
While I've tested this method and it works, the extra steps create vulnerabilities.
I remember I asked about encrypted text import before.  It would make sense to have it.
But lacking that, maybe there is some simple way to turn a private key into an encrypted qr code that I don't know about?

Edit:  this works OK

Mycelium saves the keys to the internal memory. Depending on the phone and in exactly what manner it's broken, it may be harder or easier to recover. It usually should be possible to recover it one way or another if encryption isn't involved but it may mean someone has to de-solder the flash chip in the worst situation.

Okay, then I can tell him the password over the phone.
Next question:  does Mycelium save keys on the flash card or hard drive?
If it's the flash card, maybe he can just put the card in a working phone.

For issue 2:

Download bitaddress.org to your own computer and run it off the internet.

Generate a paper wallet with BIP38 encryption enabled. The secret side is encrypted (starts with a 6) and can be sent safely to your friend. (QR encoded).

BIP38 secret keys can be loaded into Mycelium by providing the password.

Here's something a little different for you all to think about.
I have a friend who who buys coins from me and he uses mycelium.  But... he doesn't back things up (and until this morning I didn't know this).
You can guess what's coming:  he broke his phone.  And lost 26 coins.  Coins that I sold him, so although it was his own fault, I still would like to help him.  Friend lives in Brooklyn and uses android devices (obviously, because he uses Mycelium).
So I have two issues I need to solve.

Issue number one:  
He probably needs a data recovery specialist.  I say probably, because the shop he took the phone to told him there's more to this phone's problems than a broken screen.  Something in the circuitry was damaged.  So getting the keys out of memory is going to require expert help.  Any ideas?

Issue number two:
He has agreed to let me generate a key pair, back up/save it, and send him the private key so that he can import it into mycelium.  That way he can't screw up again.  I need to figure out how to send him the private key securely, and still have him be able to import it.  Which means sending an image of the qr code, because text private key import is unsafe.  Maybe I can attach the qr code to an email and encrypt it?  He has used gpg and has a public key he can send me.  I started looking into how to use gpg and really just want a simple way to get things done, but this doesn't look too simple.  So could use suggestions.
For what it's worth, my only computer is a nexus 7 tablet.  I have it set up dual boot with android and Ubuntu touch.  I booted into ubuntu, opened terminal and generated a gpg key, but I'm not sure I even need it.  From my cursory googling it looks like maybe all I need is his public key, and a gpg app for android...?

Issue number one is much more important.

Hello, I am having a small issue.

I have 2 incoming transactions to my Mycelium address that are *never* going to confirm (Small BTC amount, large TX size, 0 TX fee).
Is there a way to purge them from being displayed or just purge them from my phone?

It's not critical, just really annoying.

Thanks,
Dave

No, the first HD release will not include management for multi sig.

Mendozer, do you have beta releases enabled?
(Is the tab with your keys called 'Keys' or 'Accounts'…)
Did I get this right:
Without action by you, you got an additional Key, and the one you had before switched to read only? Since you said you don't remember about backups, I guess you don't have a backup pdf plus the written down password?

is Mycelium 2.0 a multi-sig wallet?

Apologies if this doesn't belong here, someone suggested I ask the question in this thread.




   
Don't know where I went wrong - gladly pay for assistance

Short story.
Long time MYCELIUM user, same wallet for 8+ months
Overnight I login and find a strange new public key which I don't recognise.
I also see that my entire phone book has been deleted.
My original wallet still shows up as a secondary and the balance is correct but I have no private key associated and I do not know what to do.

I'm going to get burnt for saying I can't remember if I followed proper backup protocol with my wallet when I first started using it, so I don't have any private keys or passwords backup up :-)
At the time. I stupidly found all the bitcoin jargon too hard to follow and since my wallet was carrying amounts so small not to be concerned I did not pay proper attention.

Can anyone assist me in any way - I will pay generously
I ran in to a few sites that claim to be able to recover your key/password but I am dubious.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can suggest something easy enough for a tech noob like me to try, alternatively I'm happy to pay someone to help

Not yet. Though we have received this request a few times from a couple of people, at this point we think adding multiple recipients may make the wallet more confusing for normal users. For instance, if you scanned a wrong address, and wish to scan the right one, are you replacing the old one, or adding a new recipient? Also, since it's already possible to send transactions over and over to multiple people, even with 0 confirmations, we don't think it's very necessary, aside from extra convenience.

With the new version coming up has there been any considerations to include tipping (or allowing multiple "recipients" transations)?

Ah, thanks! I should have guessed. Have never received such a transaction.

I am very much looking forward to the new version. Currently I keep creating new temporary addresses manually, but I don't find the time to keep doing backups, so I live in fear. (:-) The new version will relieve me of that.

There will be only one transaction, which has inputs from two different addresses.

Thanks, now I understand it much better.

However, one thing is still unclear to me. If two amounts sit in two different bitcoin addresses, but I send one amount that is bigger than either one, will the recipient get two transactions from two different addresses? Or is there some clever way to join them before or while they are sent?
