(Archived) Evernote fails to sync

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have Evernote installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3...after working for a few months it has now for several months been giving the error: 'Sync Failed'

I have contacted support and not received a reply..I'm trying this again.

Another thread suggested installing a desktop client and deleting trash...I did this but it didn't work.

When I press 'send log' this is the details I get...

IsTablet: false

Locale: en_AU

Service: https://www.evernote.com

Package: com.evernote

Brand: samsung

Model: GT-I9300

Network operator: 50502 / YES OPTUS

Android version: 4.0.4

Evernote version: 4.4.1

Evernote revision: master_90

Evernote type: public

Internal storage: 969 MB / 11 GB

External storage: 969 MB / 11 GB

SDCardStatus:null

I could try 'logging out' and back in again on the Samsung..but could this mean I lose all my notes that are stored locally on the phone?

Or will they still be there?

What can I try?

At the very least I want to save all my notes out of the program...but I can't even email them as this option is greyed out...only method I can think of is to manually copy and paste them out...

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sync failure on android is a common problem with me too. I might jave raised 5-6 tickets for this over time.

Don't give up with their tech support, it is not the best but they will eventually sort things out. It once took me a month and cancellation of subscription to get them to update the app and fix a bug which was causing sync failure.

Try one of these in the meanwhile:

1. Check which note is the culprit- usually the app stucks up at one bad note- tap and hold on last few notes- one that didn't sync will not have the share or email options

2. Try deleting the last 2-3 notes (only after emailing them to yourself for a backup)

3. Restart the phone

Evernote tech support will send you a standard reply to logout and login. Poor suggestion for a user who keeps multiple GBs of data offline. If they ask you and you have large offline data, don't do it. You will have to redownload everything,

Less drastic, and much faster than uninstalling and reinstalling. I just went into settings/application manager/evernote and tapped the "clear data" button. On starting up Evernote, all I had to do was re-enter my password, and the sync succeeded immediately thereafter.

I am having sync problems now too. Can't uninstall and reinstall Evernote since it comes bundled up with my Android - all I can do is uninstall all updates of Evernote and reset to the factory version. Cleaning data, deleting Evernote files on internal SD, rebooting phone, did not help. Any ideas?
