paper pockets – Public key exhibits steadiness however corresponding non-public key doesn’t (in Coinomi import)

I’m new so did the next to raised perceive transfers and wallets:

1. I’ve a small BTC steadiness with bitcoin.com in a sizzling pockets on my cell phone
2. I went offline to create a brand new pockets with bitaddress.org
3. I despatched 1 US-$ to the general public key of the brand new paper pockets
4. I’m going to bitref.com and enter the general public key: the steadiness is proven appropriately

To this point so good. Now I need to get the 1 US-$ again from the paper pockets. I put in the Coinomi app on my cellphone because the bitcoin.com app doesn’t appear to permit importing of paper wallets. For Coinomi I want a unique format, although. So:

5. I used bitaddress.org (once more offline) to acquire the WIF-format of my non-public key and corresponding QR-code, which I didn’t have from step 2. – and confirmed the right entry. For instance, I double checked that the general public key that I despatched the cash to is proven as belonging to this non-public WIF-key.
6. In Coinomi I attempt to import the paper pockets into my sizzling pockets by scanning the WIF-QR code: it says import fails becaue the non-public WIF-key doesn’t have any steadiness
7. I can return and ensure the 1 US-$ steadiness utilizing the general public key although…

any ideas?
