Transactions seem to be stuck

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Incoming or outgoing bitcoin

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Incoming and outgoing transactions are "greyed out" and have not cleared normal 
processing after two full days.

What version of Bitcoin Wallet are you using? On what Android version and
what phone? Don't just state 'most recent', this is not enough info.

I first downloaded and began using your app on April 10, 2013. I'm using 
Gingerbread.

If you have problems with particular transactions, what is your Bitcoin
address? If you happen to have transaction IDs, please state them as well.

For one, I see you're receiving dust transactions. Please read:

Did you attach a fee (of at least BTC 0.0005) to the unconfirming tx? If not:

Yes, I thought I attached the transaction fee. The only reason why I was trying 
to send that transaction was in order to move my BTC from the Android app 
wallet to my Mt.Gox account so that I could uninstall/reinstall the app. Reason 
why I wanted to do that is because I have multiple incoming transactions that 
seem to be stuck. Thanks for your quick response so far, btw. :)

Forgot to mention that I'm using Gingerbread on an myTouch Q Android smartphone.

The outgoing transaction is being sent to my Mt. Gox account number M74428522X 
and my Mt. Gox wallet address is: 19uT3yuLCdzdHpY5t8uU4fvmtfUgJ84Zhx

No need to uninstall the app for this. You can just reset the blockchain (see 
Settings). However, I doubt this will help with incoming transactions stuck. 
The problem with these transactions are they are dust transactions. They will 
take a while to confirm if they will confirm at all. You will also not be able 
to spend their amount economically, this means the fee will be higher.

Now the problem is Bitcoin Wallet does not correctly calulate fees yet. It just 
assumes 0.0005 BTC are enough, which in fact maybe not in your case. This is 
something we will hopefully fix soon.

I suggest asking the sender to pay in larger chunks. Like once per month or so.

Resetting my blockchain now to see if that works. :)

Just to put it in perspective: Your tx 
bdac9a5c2ea20d753198d5e27be90d095d70a1e75d6aa8a2a84fa0dad9870694 to MtGox has 
11471 bytes so it will take a TX fee of 0.006 BTC to move 0.004 BTC.

Is it possible to cancel the tx to MtGox?

Bitcoin tx cannot be cancelled. However, if they stay unconfirmed for a certain 
amount of time, they will just be "forgotten" by the network.

Thank you for answering my questions.  So far, the reset seems to be helping 
sort things out.

Can you give me some idea of how much time can I expect to pass until an 
unconfirmed tx is "forgotten" by the network?

Looks like your MtGox transaction has been confirmed now.

Yes, the transaction sent to Mt Gox went through, and I'm happy to report that 
all of the rest of the incoming transactions have now cleared, all thanks to 
your advice to reset the blockchain. I'm very grateful, thank you again.
