"Untitled Attachment" Audio Recording Didn't Upload from Android, Now Lost

[zombie_chris 2]

I have been recording my lectures at college using an Android device with the latest version of Evernote.  Yesterday, two of my classes synced with no problems, but the 10am class recording (around 90MB) has synced, but there is no audio file in the note - there is an attachment showing, but there is no data.  I try to download the audio on the Android phone on which it was made, but the app gives an error saying "unable to download the selected item".  The "attachment" appears in the web client and on Mac desktop, but I cannot download the attachment, nor can I rename it.  The other two notes have sizes of 89MB, but this 10am note reports it's size as 185 bytes.  Is there any way to recover the recording?

Don't know about recovering the recording (and that's terrible to hear -- sorry), but I've read advice many times that it's better to use a dedicated app for recording and then attach it to a note in Evernote after the fact. I've seen quite a few horror stories like this one.

Audio recording on mobile can’t be recovered. If anything goes wrong, it is gone. Since EN saves audio directly into the note, this includes syncing / network problems.

For anything of importance, an app that saves on device first should be used.
