I am having the same problem on my Samsung tablet. It synced yesterday with no problem. Today I added a new note on my PC but it did not sync to my tablet. It says the sync failed due to an authentication error. Hoping someone can help.

[gazumped 11,652]

Sync will only happen if you have a wi-fi or network connection and the remote server is able to accept your connection.

(Depending on the client you can set an Evernote option so sync can only happen on wi-fi, so if you're then away from a wi-fi node, you're a bit stuck until you change the option.)

I'd suggest: restart your 'phone/ tablet - make sure you have a good connection - retry the sync.

It's no biggy if the sync doesn't happen immediately - just go on about your day and it'll happen later, when network traffic and connections permit.

I had a sudden brainstorm and deleted the problem note on the PC, recreated it and then went to my tablet and it synced immediately and properly. It makes no sense whatsoever, given the error message that was received, but it worked. So I'm thinking the error message was just rather generic and just told me there was a problem syncing without telling me that the problem had something to do with the one particular file. All is well now. Hope it stays that way.

I am having the same problem with my nook color. I was able to sync fine. I changed my password on my win7 computer. My nook will not sync. I have updated my nook, updated evernote, checked all the settings, powered down, restarted, changed my password back to what it was. Two days later, still no sync.

[So1dierrebe1 0]

Forgot to add that the sync icon on my nook says "authentication error".

[gazumped 11,652]

Not a Nook expert, but clearly (no pun intended) there's a glitch in the authentication information being submitted by the 'phone. Make sure you clear the username / password boxes completely before retyping your details.

Evernote has not synced with my Android phone since it downloaded the new version several days ago. Very frustrating. Please advise. Thanks!

Having a sync error this morning on the new app. It suddenly stopped syncing after working several times. Now I just see an error message saying Sync failed.

(Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.2)

I have been having the same problem on my phone. Started also when I downloaded the new update. Need some Help Please.

[gazumped 11,652]

For the latest posts.. do you see an error message? What happens when you try to sync?

I am having a similar issue on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet (Android device). It will not sync. I tried powering off, uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Now it wont sync any of my notes or notebooks. It gives me an error that says "Insufficient Phone Space". It works fine on my computer and Droid phone. Any suggestions or solutions?

[gazumped 11,652]

"Insufficient Phone Space" may be exactly what it says on the can - have you checked your available storage space? Do you have any offline notebooks? If Evernote needs to download a large notebook and can't, that could be the source of your issue..

[khanna 0]

I only have 2 notebooks with a total of 22 notes. My tablets internal storage says I have about 2 GB of free space. I don't have an sd card in my tablet so I don't think I have any external storage.

[Jeff510 95]

I eventually just uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked again.

[khanna 0]

I tried that and now it won't sync any of my notes or notebooks.

I wish to confirm Jeff510. I little redhead at my local Barnes and Noble told me to uninstall and re - install the evernote app. It worked for me also. Thanks yawl for the support.

Same issue here but I resolved by clearing my data. This method is just a few steps shorter than DL'ing and installing the app again.

I have the following -

HTC MyTouch Slide (Gingerbread OS, 2.3.4) - Authentication failed error

Motorola Xoom - Syncs fine

PC Evernote installation - Syncs fine

WARNING: This will delete all Evernote data on your device and you will also have to supply your login credentials when accessing the app again. However, this did not remove data from my Evernote account, just the device.

Goto Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> "All" tab --> Evernote

Click the "Clear Data" button. That's it. no restart or reinstall...for me anyway.

The steps will vary depending on what OS you have; it's even easier to get to the necessary screen on the Xoom. All I had to do was supply my creds (glad I remembered them) when accessing the app afterwards. All my notes then appeared following a quick sync and they matched what was on my other two devices. Just remember to copy whatever original notes appear on your problematic device beforehand; I did so by text-copying/pasting to my HTC-supplied Notes app.

Good luck!

Having another sync problem this morning.

When I tell it to sync, I see the message change to "Downloading Headers" up to 58%, but then it stops with a "Last sync failed at:" message.

Also having synch problems on my Android phone (Android 2.2) since the last Evernote update. First synch after the update failed as below, as well as every subsequent synch.

I tried logging out and back in, rebooting the phone, wiping the data, and finally removing Evernote completely and re-installing. Thrugh all this, it consistently produced the following symptoms:

Goes through the process of downloading headers, snippets etc, eventually the synch ends with 'Last synch failed at:' (with current date/time). The note, notebook, tag, and place counts on the leftmost screen are all correct, but clicking on any of them shows an empty screen inviting me to start adding notes to Evernote.

Wireless networking is working fine for other apps on the phone (web, Dropbox, Google Play, etc)and the Evernote app is working just fine on my Android tablet.

Is there any way to roll back to the pre-update version of Evernote? I don't need fancy features, just the ability to see my notes on the go.

I have found the solution by reading other topics in this forum.

I have the same problem on my Xperia Ray phone with Android 4.0.4. The last sync failed when downloading header at 35%.

Then I open my laptop and empty the Trash on the Evernote Web.

Suddenly, the sync works again.

Note: that is the only solution that works. I have tried installing previous version via AppSaver, clearing data, reinstall, relogin.... etc. countless times.

Thank you.

After reading the last post, Igot on my desktop emptied evernotes trash now my phone syncs again. thank you.

[Leon Nortje 0]

Thanks. I have cleared the notes in my Trash on my MAC and now my notes sync again 100% on my Android phone.

[Geoff Graham 0]

This fix worked for me too! I just deleted my trash bin and the sync worked. Before it would freeze at "Downloading Headers 1%"

This issue has been escalated as bug report to Evernote support last week. Today, I received a reply that the bug should has been fixed via yesterday update.

So, try to use the latest client version.

It seems to be working fine for me now, so thanks!
