I was wondering how to use in my bitcoin app when I got a private key and an address... Maybe get a different client?

I do not understand?

Topic you gave is: Brainwallets how to use?

so far as I know
Quote
A brainwallet refers to the concept of storing Bitcoins in one's own mind by memorization of a passphrase. As long as the passphrase is not recorded anywhere, the Bitcoins can be thought of as existing nowhere except in the mind of the holder. If a brainwallet is forgotten or the person dies or is permanently incapacitated, the Bitcoins are lost forever.

I am asking because I do not understand the thread - what have a client to do with a brainwallet?

He's trying to import the private key into his mobile app. Now as far as I know it works with the standard PC core version, but not on mobile phones.
