How do you do a transfer from old phone wallet to new phone wallet? To activate it I was told I needed at least one xlm sent, so I sent some xlm and I thought the new wallet was activated but when I try to transport my XLM from old phone old wallet to new phone new wallet it won't take the QR code. I am a Newbie so Please if anybody knows how to help or have any suggestions I'm all ears. Thank you much!! Sandy

Sandysings19 What wallets/versions are you using? Maybe it's easier just to export the account and import it in the new wallet.

Hi, sorry new to this forum, didn't know you replied. I have a version 9.0. are you saying I should export when in old wallet and then import when in new wallet I'm new to these terminologies. Is this same as restoring? Thanks

bkolobara Hi sorry didn't know you had replied already. I have a version 9.0, wallet is Stargazer, got it in 2018. Does Stargazer have different wallets?

Sandysings19 There are currently some issues with sending xlm in Stargazer . I would recommend you to install a new wallet on the new phone, like https://solarwallet.io/ and when you are creating an account select the option "Import Existing". There you enter your secret key, starting with an S. Make sure to never share this key with anyone . To access this secret key on your old wallet you should open Stargazer and click on this button in the upper right corner. Then select "Advanced" -> "Export Account". Now you should be able to see the long key starting with an S. If you double click it you could copy it and send ti to yourself on the new phone. Hope this helps.

bkolobara I will give this a try, I'll let you know the results. Thank you so very much. Sandysings19

bkolobara Hi there, well I got as far as trying to copy the private key, but it was a QR code and not a series of no starting with an S, So I scanned it but it said invalid key code. Back to square one, any more suggestions??

Sandysings19 Is your wallet password protected? For me the private key is displayed under the QR code, but maybe it's not shown in password protected wallets. I would suggest you to remove the password and try again.

bkolobara Hi there again, when you asked is your password protected do u mean in the orig wallet Stargazer? If so, can I remove password from there and it won't screw up anything for the wallet that got transferred to new phone, while I'm creating the new wallet you suggested, Solar, so do I just scan QR code? This is confusing to me, new at all this. Thanks

Sandysings19 Yeah. I ment the original wallet. I don't think that you can just scan it as they probably use different qr formats. Solar will just accept a private key, not Stargazer's qr code. Also, some users succeeded in sending with Stargazer again. Maybe try again to send it to the new wallet.

Yeah, so I removed password. But yes now I'm going back to the Stargazer wallet that was originally transferred over from the old phone and I'm able to scan the QR code that is on my stargazer wallet (on new phone) so scanning and everything looks.like.ots.going to work, plug in my amount I want to receive and scan them I get mesg. That says "Reciepient account isn't registered Send a min. Of one xlm to activate it". Which I have already done. Because it gave me that same message when I originally try to export my ex XLMs.

bkolobara thank you but I'm not sure how to do that, LOL. I am so handicaped with uploading, I would have to sign in to that site right? To get right down to the specific problem is: every time Im in the last step to send the funds, it constantly tells me account not registered must send a minimum of one xlm. Now with the Solar wallet, I tried scanning the QR code and putting in the private key from stellar wallet after hitting import existing, continues to read invalid stellar key, something like that?? Does it matter that at the top of the wallet in solar wallet that is, it says acct 2, because I have to go into account 2 to find the option for importing existing, (this is exhausting) 😩 if I don't My options are send or receive, whick by the way I've already tried that too.

bkolobara Hi there, its me again. Ii tried writing down private keys but my phone doesn't give all the keys it just shows some of them and provides a QR code to copy. everytime I try to send out or receive in with keys it tells me that my account isn't registered and i need to send 1 xlm, but the acct is regist. and i have more than 1 in it. Do u have any more suggestions? thank you and blessings!!
