Use broader connection checks if detection is one part of the problem.
OpenIf detection works but signing does not, focus on QR signing flow.

OpenSafePal App troubleshooting is safest when you separate display, sync, device, firmware, and recovery phrase concerns before changing wallet settings. Use official SafePal support links for device-specific instructions.
Use these checks to separate ordinary setup friction from wallet safety risk before you reset, restore, reinstall, or open wallet support portals.
Use a data-capable cable, confirm computer permissions, avoid untrusted browser prompts, and check whether the official app recognizes the device before restoring anything.
Handle firmware updates only through verified official software. A firmware prompt should not require typing seed words into a website, chat, or support form.
Zero balance or missing transactions can come from the wrong account, network, passphrase, derivation path, sync delay, or exchange withdrawal still pending.
Keep the phrase offline and private. Do not photograph it, paste it into support, or use a recovery check page from an ad, email, DM, or search result.
Read the device screen carefully before approving. If the destination, network, fee, or contract request is unexpected, reject and investigate first.
Avoid remote access, paid recovery, messaging-app helpers, fake live chat pages, and anyone asking to be added to your wallet or computer.
Start with the most common causes before resetting the wallet, restoring from a recovery phrase, or trusting a support message.
Step 1
Check the app publisher and official SafePal access path before pairing. Fake apps can look normal until they ask for recovery words.
Step 2
Allow the permissions required by the active workflow, remove stale pairing attempts only when you understand the effect, and retry from the device setup screen.
Step 3
SafePal detection can fail when the app expects a pairing QR but the device is showing a signing QR, setup prompt, or firmware screen.
Step 4
If the app detects a wallet but assets look wrong, switch to balance and token troubleshooting instead of repeating setup.
Confirm app version, active wallet, phone camera access, Bluetooth state if relevant, and whether the wallet was imported instead of paired.
Charge the device, unlock it, review the current screen, and follow model-specific prompts without entering the recovery phrase online.
Scan the correct QR code in the correct direction: app to device for unsigned data, device to app for signed data, depending on the workflow.
For official SafePal help, downloads, updates, or contact options, use SafePal's official portal and verified official channels. This page helps you prepare safe, non-private context before opening support portals.
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.
Community reports
SafePal troubleshooting reports often involve mobile app pairing, QR signing, firmware prompts, balance display, recovery planning, and fake support warnings. These examples avoid private wallet data and focus on the support pattern.
These examples are informational and reflect common user-reported wallet issues. Never share your recovery phrase, seed phrase, private keys, PIN, or wallet backup with anyone. Official wallet support should never ask for your recovery phrase.
“My KeepKey powers on, but the wallet app will not connect to it.”
Connection issues may involve charge-only USB cables, unstable hubs or adapters, device prompts, app state, firmware mode, or another wallet session using the device.
“My Trezor is connected by USB, but Trezor Suite does not recognize it.”
Connection issues may involve USB cable type, bridge or web permissions, outdated firmware, browser support, or device authorization prompts.
“My KeepKey firmware update is stuck and I do not know if it is safe to continue.”
Firmware update problems can involve USB instability, update mode, app prompts, operating system permissions, or fake support pages exploiting update panic.
“KeepKey shows zero balance after reconnecting, but I expected funds to be there.”
Zero-balance displays may involve wrong account, network, stale wallet app sync, missing account after restore, or a different recovery phrase context.

FAQ
Common causes include blocked phone permissions, stale pairing records, wrong device screen, old app or firmware state, or using the wrong wallet context.
No. Detection problems are usually local app, device, or pairing issues. Check address and network separately before assuming funds moved.
No. Detection should not require typing your recovery phrase into a website, chat, app prompt from an unverified source, or support form.
Device model, phone model, app version, current step, error text, and screenshots without private information are safer than private keys or seed words.
Use official SafePal support links for device-specific support, and keep private wallet recovery data offline while you troubleshoot.
