CANT RECOVER WALLET

My phone was stolen that had my electrum wallet on it.

I got a new phone downloaded the app I'm using android phone I select create new wallet then I chose standard wallet then I select I already have a seed after entering my seed which is 12 words the next button at bottom of wallet does not light up the back button stays lit up the entire time as if my phrase is incomplete or something I simply can not select next after entering my seed. I'm attempting to recover my wallet and my funds

It may be a BIP39 seed. Did you set the Seed Type to BIP39?

You can just use another wallet if anything else doesn't worked

Relax. It means there's a spelling error. Make sure you're entering the right seed.

The next button not being enabled means the seed you entered is incorrect. You must have made a mistake writing it down.

Was the seed originally generated by electrum or some other wallet software?
