Arculus Troubleshooting Checks

Use these checks to separate ordinary setup friction from wallet safety risk before you reset, restore, reinstall, or open wallet support portals.

NFC card scan path

Enable NFC, remove thick cases or metal accessories, hold the Arculus card on the phone antenna, and wait for the app to confirm the scan.

Mobile app source

Use verified Arculus app and support paths. Fake apps or cloned support pages may ask for recovery words, card photos, or remote access.

Update safety

Handle app or firmware-related prompts through verified Arculus software. Update troubleshooting should not require seed words in a website, chat, or form.

Balance display confusion

Missing balances can come from wrong account, network, hidden token, app sync delay, passphrase context, or pending transactions.

Recovery phrase handling

Keep seed words offline and private. Do not photograph them, paste them into support, or use a validation page from an ad or message.

Transaction review

Review transaction details in the trusted app and on any available approval flow before authorizing transfers or token approvals.

Likely Causes

Start with the most common causes before resetting the wallet, restoring from a recovery phrase, or trusting a support message.

The Arculus app is not in the correct card scan, unlock, account, restore, or signing flow

Phone NFC settings, card placement, app permissions, or security settings are blocking recognition

The app is viewing the wrong account, network, token, restored wallet, or passphrase context

The phone, app, or firmware/update state changed after a previous successful setup

A stale app session or pending update is making the card scan look like a wallet detection failure

A fake Arculus app or helper is interfering with safe setup

Recovery And Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1

Confirm the active app flow

Check selected wallet, active network, card scan prompt, account view, and whether the app is waiting for the NFC card.

Step 2

Retest the card scan

Enable NFC, hold the card steady over the phone antenna, remove interference, and wait for the app confirmation before moving the card.

Step 3

Check account context

If the card scans but the wallet looks wrong, check account, network, token visibility, restore context, and any passphrase settings.

Step 4

Avoid fake detection fixes

Do not install cloned apps, enter seed words, upload card photos, or grant remote access to make the wallet appear.

Arculus app And Device-Specific Help

Arculus app

Check app version, selected wallet, account, network, pending update prompts, and whether the app was installed from a verified source.

Phone NFC

Check NFC support, antenna position, OS permissions, cases, metal accessories, and whether the phone is locked or in low-power mode.

Wallet context

A valid restored wallet can look empty or different if account, network, phrase, passphrase, or token context changed.

Arculus Recovery Phrase Safety

No legitimate wallet guidance should need your recovery phrase.

A recovery phrase controls wallet restoration. Treat it as private self-custody information and review how phrases work before using any wallet.
