Stuck in "Importing personal key..."

[arielenter]

Expected behavior

Get my personal key imported succesfully

Actual behavior

Kontalk gets stuck in a message saying: "Importing personal key..." but even when waiting a long time it just stays there. If I use the return button it claims: "Verification cancelled, you might receive a SMS anyway."

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Kontalk
2. Input your name and phone number
3. Try to import personal key using the correct password

Environment

Kontalk version: 4.4.0 (500) from fdroid, coming from 4.2 also from fdroid

Android version: Replicant 6.0 (Android 6.0.1)

Device model: Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100

Logs

I created one using the instructions shown here:

https://github.com/kontalk/androidclient/wiki/How-to-create-a-system-log-(logcat)

And I just sent them to the address given there, although it didn't seem to have any useful info.

Other

Please let me know if there is a way to send a better log for this issue. Thank you.

I was able to go back to version 4.2 from fdroid and import the key, and then I just upgrade to 4.4

I notice that 4.2 is listed as "suggested" in fdroid. Anyway, this might help some one else out there.

Using different phone with LineogeOS lineage-14.1 (Android 7.1.2), a samsung galaxy S3, I got the same behaviour. Let me know if you will like a log of that phone too. Thank you.

Using a key exported from the same version 4.4 didn't help. But the trick of using 4.2 to import it did.
