(Archived) What happens to unsynced notes on phone if uninstall

[deanouellette 23]

Friend has an android phone that is not syncing. If he uninstalls evernote and redownloads it, what happens to unsynced notes on phone?

@deanouellette,

I have to believe he will loose the notes. Perhaps he can share them out to another app, perhaps email them.

Regards,

Gary

They get gone. I think you may be able to either email or screen cap/email these notes before uninstalling the EN app.

You should be able to pull them off the Android. You should locate to the Evernote folder, then look for a folder named something like "user-<number>", and under that, a folder named "unsaved notes". There should be some number of folders under that, probably containing unsaved notes with extansion .enml (they're Evernote's note format). Copy those off to a desktop machine, and you should be able to import them into Evernote.

Note: I haven't tried this myself.

I don't see the evernote folder at all on my SD card. Has there been any change to the default directory structure on Android?
