This worked well when I paired both my phone and my desktop, however pairing two of my desktop apps didn't work. I copied the pairing code from device1 and emailed it to myself, I then added it as a new device on device2, however, device1 appears with the name New (in device2's list of paired devices), whereas it should've been the name device1 was configured with.
The name should update when device1 comes online.
It is true that I paired my devices when one of them was off-line, however, now that
device1 is online, nothing has changed. I was wondering if this could've happened because I mistyped the pairing code ... (well I copy/pasted it so that's not very likely, but you never know).
To check that, did you try to pair again?
Also, can you chat between the two devices?
On the mobile wallet I have two issues:
- When the wallet is synching, the blackbytes screen overlaps on the bytes screen, it comes on top of it then goes back then comes up ....
Not sure I get what you mean. If you could do a screen recording, that would be helpful.
I received 3 crash reports with this error. It can theoretically happen if two copies of the app are running at the same time or some other process is trying to access the app's files. Android should not allow this (unless the phone is rooted). Can you remember what you were doing just before you saw this error for the first time?
Also something that I find inconvenient is that even when a device is paired with another, their address are not automatically added to the address book, moreover there is no send payment button (in the chat interface).
I'm afraid there is some confusion here. There are two types of addresses: payment address (called just address) and device address.
Device address is permanent per device, it is used for communication (including chat), devices learn each other's device addresses and public keys (just a device address is not enough) when they are paired. Device addresses are never written into the public database.
Payment addresses are similar to Bitcoin payment addresses, we generate a new address for each payment. The address book (available from "Send" tab) lists payment addresses, it cannot be populated when devices are paired.
There is no "send payment" button in chat because you don't know the correspondent's payment address before he generates a new address and sends it to you. Once he does, you click the address (it is automatically highlighted) and pay.
