Hi, @DeFiYourLife ,
- first try to reset Bluetooth pairing,
- then add the account again into the Algorand wallet
Please see the steps to follow here: Bluetooth pairing after Ledger Nano-X Firmware update
Hope this helps!

Hi @DeFiYourLife thats excellent news and a great find! Well done. In answer to your question about my specs, they are:
- App: Android version of official Algorand Wallet from Algorand, Inc ver 4.10.7
- App OS: Android 11
- Phone: Samsung A40
- Ledger Device: Nano X
- Ledger Firmware: 2.0.0
- Algorand App on Ledger Nano X: 1.2.15
I can also report that:
- I have never rekeyed any accounts. I have 3 accounts in the algorand wallet, one of which is ledger backed and which stores my governance committed algos. So that corresponds with your finding about rekeyed accounts being problematic.
- Removing the ledger backed account and re-pairing following the reddit instructions worked.
- Although I can connect to the nano X with bluetooth, send 0 algo transactions and have now voted, the bluetooth connection/transaction authorisation journey for sending algos from the ledger backed account does not happen reliably/the first time as it used to do before the firmware update. It always needs at least 2 attempts.

Can you try the following steps (this is on iOS, Android might be slightly different):
- (Ledger) Restart the Ledger Nano X
- (Ledger) Forget the Ledger Nano X from the Bluetooth menu from your phone. See Step 3 in https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025864773?support=true.
- (Phone) Open the Algorand Wallet
- (Phone) Click on the + button, then Add Account, then Pair Ledger Device.
- (Ledger) Be sure your Ledger Nano is open. VERY IMPORTANTLY, do NOT open the Algorand app from Ledger Nano. (Despite the fact that the screen tells you so.) You must be on the screen with all the apps on Ledger Nano.
- (Phone) Click on Search for Ledger, and then Connect next to your Ledger. If your Ledger does not appear, restart the phone and the Nano.
- (Phone & Ledger) Both the phone and the Nano should display a pairing code. Confirm they are identical. Confirm on Ledger Nano. And click Pair on the phone.
- (Phone) The Phone will display an error telling you to open the Algorand App.
- (Ledger) Only now, and not before, open the Algorand App on the Ledger Nano.
- (Phone) Click on Connect again.
- (Phone) You will see the screen to recover the wallets.
After that, it worked on my iPhone.
Importantly, do NOT pair the Ledger with Ledger Live on your phone, nor with any other method.
If something gets stuck at any point, just restart the Ledger Nano and the phone.
One common issue is the following: if the first pairing is done with the Algorand app on the Ledger Nano opened, then it seems to get stuck.
@fabrice Iâve just had a final response from Ledger support to my ticket for this issue opened on the October 26th. Even though they muddle the wallet I am using (Iâve never used MyAlgoWallet), it kicks the ball back to you - no mea culpa on their side. It reads:

Thank you for reaching out to Ledger Support. My name is Prinjal and Iâd be happy to assist you with your request.
I am sorry but the issue is not related to Ledger device but the Algorand wallet. I would suggest reaching out to [MyAlgo wallet Support] directly with all the details as they will guide you correctly towards resolving the issue.
I hope this answers your request. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @fabrice
I attempted your instructions and was able add my Ledger accounts through Pair Ledger Device. However, I still canât send any Algo.
Every time, I attempt to preview and sign with ledger, I get the below error:
Connection Error
Having Ledger Nano X connection issues?If so, please remove the device from your phoneâs bluetooth settings, remove the ledger account, and then re-pair your Ledger following the Algorand Wallet instructions.

Hi, @DeFiYourLife ,
can you write down PLEASE in a little more detail, what have you done exactly?
- Is your Ledger Live is functional with Nano-X and BlueTooth?
- Have you added again your account in Algorand Wallet with âAdd Account | Pair Ledger Deviceâ?
Yes I sure can; however, I just tried something different today and going to repeat those steps. After I did this method, I havenât been able to successfully add my accounts to my Ledger device.
On my Android, I have both a personal profile and a work profile, and realized that I need to clear the Bluetooth cache from both.
-
Currently, I donât have Ledger Live on my android. My 3 ledger accounts are are also not on my Algorand Wallet.
-
(Ledger) Reset Bluetooth pairings on Nano X. Screenshots below.
-
(Ledger) Shutoff Bluetooth on Nano X and powered down the device.
-
(Phone) Forgot/removed the Nano X (called Governance) from my Android.
-
(Phone) Cleared Bluetooth Cache on my Android across my Personal and Work Profile.
-
(Phone) Shutoff Bluetooth and powered down my Android for at least 5 minutes.
-
(Ledger) (Phone) Powered on my Nano X and Android
-
(Ledger) (Phone) Put the Bluetooth back on for both my Nano X and Ledger.
-
(Phone) Opened Algorand Wallet on Android
-
(Phone) Clicked + > Add Account > Pair Ledger Device > Searched for Ledger
-
(Phone) Found my Nano X (called Governance) and clicked connect. Instructions popped up telling me not to open the app on Nano X, which I didnât. I then pressed OK and the app continued to âConnecting to LedgerâŚâ.
-
(Ledger) (Phone) Nano X and Android requested to be paired, which I did. After pairing the devices, an error popped up:
Error!
Please open the Algorand App in your ledger device.
- (Ledger) From there, I opened the Algorand App on the Nano X and then attempted to connect again.
- (Phone) As it was attempting to âConnecting to ledgerâŚâ another error message came up:
Error!
Could not connect to the Ledger device. Make sure the device is unlocked, nearby and has bluetooth enabled
- (Phone) App froze on âConnecting to LedgerâŚâ and I shut off the app. I then repeated steps 10-15 with no luck.

Hi, @DeFiYourLife ,
thanks for the detailed report of the steps executed.
I have repeated your steps:
- Samsung Galaxy J7: I cleared the paired Nano device, like you
- Nano-X: I have reset pairing, like you
- Nano-X: switch off, switch on, like you
- Samsung Galaxy J7: Algorand Wallet
- Add Account
- Pair Ledger Device
- Search for Ledger
- Connect (to Nano)
- Pairing Ledger with your device: OK
After that I got the following error: âPlease open the Algorand App on your ledger deviceâ.
I opened the Algorand app on Ledger Nano-X, then cliked âConnectâ again.
I got the error messages: âCould not connect to the Ledger device.â âWe were unable to receive the public key of your ledger device.â
The Algorand Wallet app got into an infinite loop.
I quit the Algorand Wallet app, then started it again:
- Samsung Galaxy J7: Algorand Wallet: Add Account
- Add Account
- Pair Ledger Device
- Search for Ledger
- Connect (to Nano) => 1 Account found
- Verify selected account
Then I tried to send 0.0 Algo from the added account to the added account
- Preview and sign with ledger => I got error: âTransmission error: we were unable to receive the public key of your ledger device. Please try again.â
Then I tried again to send 0.0 Algo from the added account to the added account
- Preview and Sign with ledger
- Ledger Approval
- Send Algos
To summarize:
-
Issue 1: During pairing the mobile phone with the Nano-X, the issue can be reproduced: you must start in the Ledger Manager on Nano-X to pair the device, then you get an error message: âPlease open the Algorand App on your ledger deviceâ, you open the Algorand app on Nano-X and click âConnectâ again, and then you get " âCould not connect to the Ledger device.â âWe were unable to receive the public key of your ledger device.â
-
However, when you try again, the second time you can verify the address and add the new account to the wallet
-
Issue 2: during send, sometimes you get âTransmission error: we were unable to receive the public key of your ledger device. Please try again.â
Dear @DeFiYourLife , please try to connect again, and write down your experiences (success or failure)
Dear @ian , please investigate the above issues, as I have a feeling that the Algorand Wallet with Nano-X that the app is not too stable, sometimes gives spurious error messages. Maybe it is just a trivial step missing, like you should quit the app after pairing with the Ledger Nano-X. Thank you.

Same issues as everyone else. I follow all the steps, I pair. I add my account. That is it. That is when the wallet stops talking to th ledger. Nothing can be done beyond that point.
Iâve gone through the pair unpair process at least 20 times. The result is always the same. No transactions can be made.The wallet will not see the ledger even 10 seconds after pairing successfully.
It pairs. It breaks.

Thank you very much for the feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience and are investigating the source of the issue.
If you are not using rekeying nor multiple accounts, you may consider using MyAlgoWallet (https://wallet.myalgo.com) instead.
This should recover the same account as the official Algorand Wallet. See question on Ledger on https://algorand.foundation/gov-faq 5.

Thanks for the response. Yes, in the end I used myalgo wallet to make the needed exchanges. I also had to use myalgo wallet for governance. Unfortunately for my flight yesterday, I only had a mobile option and thus spent that entire time attempting to execute a single transaction. With myalgo wallet having no mobile ledger option and the official wallet not working with ledger, I was unable to make the transaction in time it needed to be made.
I think it is important that there be a way to make secure mobile transactions with ledger and algorand.
Having the same issue as above and unable to sign transaction. Also unable to connect second ledger backed algorand to ledger live.
No issues before using Yiedly staking. I originally had one address on the official algorand app but decided to create a second so that my governance amounts wouldnt be affected. Created a second account and it was backed by the same ledger. Tried to opt in so that I could stake however was having difficulty and was unable to get it to work. From a few google searches apparently ledger is unable to sign multi transactions and it caused an error. Unable to opt out and not entering seed phrase on webpage in order to do so.
Later updated to firmware 2.0.0 - Second account still stuck and unable to connect to ledger live (mobile and desktop)
I have other accounts I use for ASAâs that are not connected to my ledger so have been using those.
Tried to sign a transaction from the original ledger backed account today and was unable to. I repaired the bluetooth settings as instructed on ledgerâs website as well as instructions on this thread. Now i am greeted with connection error when trying to sign algorand transaction.
I am not sure what is going on and itâs extremely frustrating - As itâs my governance account with the most algorand in, iâm not expecting to move it any time soon however its unnerving to know i cant access. I cant be certain but i think trying to opt in to a staking pool on yieldly with an account backed by my ledger is the root cause of this. The only problem is there isnât a quick and safe method of reversing it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@Sylux If you can find an iPhone from someone that you trust, then add your account there. The ledger device doesnât seem to have any issues with connecting to an iPhone. I did that to just vote in governance. Once I was done, then I removed my account from the iPhone.
@DeFiYourLife Hi, thanks that may help someone else who stumbles upon this thread like I did.
I have already voted in this governance period. I voted before updating the firmware on my ledger. Was having issues with the second account after the yiedly opt in debacle and didnât want to risk something going wrong with my vote!!

Yes, there was an Algorand Wallet update, to v 4.10.9. You can see in Github that the changes were centered around the bluethooth ledger device⌠Android 4.10.9 ¡ algorand/algorand-wallet@78bcc87 ¡ GitHub
Probably that was the reason behind your success!

I have exciting news for all. I can now sign and send Algo through nano X on my Android with app 4.10.9
For the last several days, I was able to add an account through the âPair Ledger Deviceâ feature; however, I wasnât able to sign and send Algo using the Nano X
I then updated the Algorand Wallet app from 4.10.8 to 4.10.9, which seem to correct the issue. However, it wasnât working at first.
Everytime I tried, I would get an error message that my wallet couldnât connect to my device. I then did the following and havenât had any issues since.
- Shutoff Bluetooth on the Android and made certain that the ledger device was on the dashboard.
- I attempted to send algo and the wallet prompted me to turn Bluetooth on the phone, which I did.
- The app attempted to send Algo again, but stopped and prompted me to open the Algorand App on the ledger.
- After opening the Algorand App and attempting to send Algorand, another error message came up saying that the wallet couldnât connect via Bluetooth.
- Attempted again and then the ledger device and wallet connected.
From here on, I havenât had any issues for the last two days in sending Algo and confirming the transaction via phone.
Thanks everybody for all their help. I consider this issue now completely resolved.

Hello everyone is this issue fixed?
I like to participate in the governance but at this point it is not possible to makr a transaction.
In the algorand wallet i get a error with connecting to the ledger.
At my side verything is up to date
So how to connect to the ledger to send the 0 transaction?
Friendly regards,
Menomenic
To our knowledge, this issue is fully fixed.
If you cannot connect to the Ledger through the wallet, try to pair again your Ledger with your phone.
Have you tried:
Let us know if things still did not work. In that case please provide:
- Phone model
- OS
- Algorand App version
- Ledger firmware version
- Ledger Algorand App version
- Screenshots with the issues (hiding all confidential details)
If you are not using rekeying nor multiple accounts, you may consider using MyAlgoWallet (https://wallet.myalgo.com ) instead.
