Does a "reset blockchain and transactions" actually help? Or do I loose my
money then forever?

I just saw today: the transaction with 1BTC back succeeded somehow later, so
there is just the 0.0005BTC actually still in the wallet.

I'm afraid the behaviour of Bitcoin Wallet (showing a balance of 0) is correct
in this case, because you signed a transaction sending away all your Bitcoins
and you can't spend it again.
Why it takes so long to get confirmed by the network is another story. In this
case, you should not have assigned a fee of 0. As soon as fee rules will be
implemented by BitCoinJ, this will not be possible any more (see separate
issue).
Removing a pending tx that does not get confirmed (for whatever reason) is
currently only possible by resetting all transactions & blockchain (Options
Menu -> About). You will not lose any confirmed tx and the Bitcoins associated
with it, but it takes some time to refresh the block chain.

As I said about the 1BTC: The transaction got actually confirmed in a
block, of course later due to the lack of fees, but that's ok.
The only left issue is now the 0.0005BTC which is too little to
transfer away :) But thanks for the tip, I will reset tonight at home
the blockchain, so I will have the app being aware of the correct
balance again!

I just want to add that I can confirm this. Two tiny 0-fee txs don't even show
up in the list of unconfirmed txs.

I noticed last night that the fee field's label still says "(optional)" next to
it, but if the field is blank or zero, the send button is disabled. Awesome.
1.) Could the (optional) be removed, thus telling the user that the fee is
essentially mandatory? Or show some kind of a warning if the amount/fee is too
low to be processed by the network?
2.) A tooltip or some kind of help function explaining the fee would be REALLY
nice for folks new to Bitcoin, potentially using it for the first time on their
phone. I didn't understand the fee AT ALL until last night when I read a long
article about it. I think it could be summarized like this:
"The transaction fee (commonly referred to as "tx") is a fee paid to the
Bitcoin network as an incentive for your transaction to be confirmed quickly.
The larger the fee, the more likely it will be processed quickly. The minimum
fee is currently 0.0000X."

@colindean:
You can enter 0 fees. There are actually nodes that will relay and confirm your
transactions:

For plans to suggest a sensible to the user, see these issues:

I sent 0.001btc with 0btc fee. 3 days later it won't go through,but it is
locking up the rest of my balance. ie my balance is displayed correctly (I
think) on the main screen but I just can't send any of it.

As of version 2.21, a warning dialog is now displayed. I'm closing this because
there is not anything more I can do.
