IV. FAQs

1. What should I do if it prompts "Unable to Get Wallet Address" when importing the address? 

  • Solution: This occurs because you have not opened the TRON App on Ledger. Please make sure that you keep the TRON App open on Ledger when importing the address. 

2. Why can't I find the new device I want to add when Bluetooth has been turned on?

  • Solution: This occurs because you have not enabled the corresponding access on your phone (either access to location or Bluetooth). You may try again after you turn on the corresponding access in your Settings. 

3. Situations where Ledger is not supported include: 

  • In the DAppChain environment, only Ledger accounts can be imported (while the balance on the Ledger address cannot be displayed). Ledger signatures are not supported. 
  • Ledger signature is not supported when you transfer the assets to and from DAppChain.
  • Ledger Wallet account is not supported when trading shielded tokens.
  • There is a possibility of Ledger signature limitation due to data overload when conducting complicated transactions. Possible prompt: Data is too large to be signed. Please revise your transaction info and try again. If you see the prompt, please change your transaction parameters and try again.

4. How to unpair Ledger with your phone?

  • Solution: Enter TronLink's Ledger Device Management page and tap the button on the right side of the Ledger's name to remove the Ledger. Then remove the paired Ledger device from "Bluetooth - paired devices" in your phone's system. You can unpair the Ledger by completing the above two steps.
