Chad CEO 4 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi there, i used the web browser on my computer. However it hasn't been syncing to my phone. It shows an older version. Im sure that the web version saved with the green check mark. this has happened a few times in the past few days. Previously I fixed it by restarting the app or restarting my phone. However, that fix has stopped working too. is this a server side issue? thanks, Chad Link to comment

You can force a sync on your phone by clicking on the sync button. >>Im sure that the web version saved with the green check mark. Thats an odd way to phrase it. Can you actually look at the note on the web platform and confirm it was updated? Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yes, web note was updated. And, hit Snyc Now in settings and didn't work. any ideas? Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 To provide some more detail, the actual time of the sync (on iOS) is correct. However, the content inside is not properly updated. Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Just to follow up, I was able to get it to sync by making more changes to the note, hitting fresh on the web note a couple times. Then, I checked my phone right away and it worked. Bugs. Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Just guessing... But, maybe it's possible copying and pasting within the note caused the content to not sync properly. That's the only thing different I was doing than most times and it worked when I added content without copy/pasting as a last action. Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Okay, it happened again. So I'm just providing a little more detail just in case someone else can figure it out or has the same issue... This time, the "example" note was updated at 4:30. Then, I updated a few other notes quickly. Then at 4:32, the example note was modified again, deleting certain content. However, the mobile app did not show this version. It was stuck on 4:30. Restarting the app or device does not work to have the sync corrected. After some time, I made another change via the web client and then it synced again. Maybe its the frequency of the changes? Like if I make more than a certain number of edits in a few minutes? Not sure. But there certainly is an issue here. Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi there, I just wanted to add to this again. The mobile app shows the correct time of the update. But the content is from a previous version. Once again, the mobile app has not synced properly. I wonder if anyone will look at this? Thanks, Chad Link to comment

Chad CEO 4 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Sayre, it is a stable IOS version. You can see which one attached. Thanks, Chad Link to comment

Thanks, Chad I'm running the same one as you and not running into that issue. We may be on different iOS's though. I have the developer beta iOS 10 on my iPhone. I tried to recreate the syncing issue on my phone app and couldn't. 95% of the time when I'm syncing I am on Wi-Fi. Possibly it's a connection issue outside of the app? Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Sayre, That's a good idea. However, this has happened to me on Wifi and 4G. Today, it happened again - I had to add more content to the note via web and it will eventually push the sync. I'm thinking maybe it is when I leave the app open on a specific page or something. No idea yet. Really surprised nobody else had this issue yet. Thanks, Chad PS. If I find a way to duplicate the issue, I will post it. Link to comment

Hi Chad, Can you advise on the OS and browser versions that you're seeing this issue on on your desktop as well as the device and OS version you're using on iOS. Also, are you have similar problems in reverse (note content on your phone not being reflected on the web)? Thanks, Chuck Link to comment

To answer your questions: Yes, I can confirm that this happened while using iOS 9.3.2 and iOS 9.3.3 on an iPhone 6S. (I had upgraded hoping it would fix it, but it continued even today). On the browser side, I'm using Firefox 47.0.1 since June 28th. So far, this has not happened in reverse. I typically stop inputting anything on my phone until I see a correct sync so I can't say for sure. But, it has not happened in reverse to me. Another 2 cents from my end: Since the time sync is showing the correct time of sync, but not showing the correct content, could it be a memory issue? I have about 15 notes. Several of them contain long paragraphs of notes or very long lists of bullet items (200+ lines). Perhaps, that is impacting performance and rather than a syncing issue, it's just not loading quick enough to show the latest version? Thanks for looking into this. Hope it gets resolved.

Chad CEO 4 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I did a little testing on my own and I can say that none of these duplicated the issue over and over. They only duplicated the issue sometimes where the phone doesn't show the most recent version. 1. Editing multiple notes - on web 2. Only copying and pasting within one note - on web 3. Making small changes like deleting and adding only one word - on web Link to comment

Chad Thanks Chad. We're still looking into this and appreciate the additional info. A few more questions for you: Are you using Firefox on Mac or Windows? What version of desktop OS? If you try another browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge), do you encounter the same issue? Thanks, Chuck Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hey Chuck, Sorry for the delay. I didn't have the time to test on different browsers, but I had it as a top priority today. The issue is definitely still happening to my notes. I'm using Mac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5 However, I just tried it out on Safari. It totally messed up the line spacing that I originally had, but it seemed like it started working immediately in terms of syncing. Perhaps, your speculation on Firefox could be the issue :-) Hope this helps, Chad P.S. I wrote a custom script based off the EV platform and think you guys could totally package it as a service. It would completely change the way people take notes, to-do lists and reminders. Do you know who I should talk to about this? Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hey Chuck, Any update on this? It's still happening regularly. Thanks, Chad Link to comment

Chad CEO 4 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Also, just wondering...Is nobody else having this issue? Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I think I have found something that might help: I noticed that the syncing doesn't work when I haven't used my phone in a while and lots of changes have been made via web. However, once I start making one change on the web, then open the note (mobile app), then another change on the web, then open the note (mobile app), then it eventually starts working and showing me the correct version. It looks almost like a cache issue I had with a server one time. Anyways, I hope this helps solve the problem. Thanks, Chad P.S. @cifip I hope you could take a look at this and maybe let me know your thoughts please. Would appreciate it very much. Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi there, Well, its been about 5 weeks now and this issue is still occurring. I just wanted to add that I tried restarting my phone when it happens and it does not make a difference. Also, I tried deleting and reinstalling the app. And while it force it to sync properly on install, the problem persists the next day. It seems like there is a real issue with EV syncing with iPhone or using in Firefox. Hopefully, the team can get this fixed. It's been pretty well documented here. Or, at the least, can you give us an update if you plan to do anything at all? Thanks, Chad P.S. It's hard to upgrade when basic features are not working properly. Link to comment
AverageJoe 1 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Similar issue. Reported here. Using Chrome and EN Web on my iMac. Have had sync issues from both iPhone and Windows laptop. I'm becoming more convinced that the sync icon on mobile version doesn't actually indicate anything. Spinning or not, I get note updates long after a sync has been performed, or not at all. I just don't trust this app or platform anymore. Link to comment
Chad CEO 4 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Hey AverageJoe, Thanks for sharing about having the same issue even with a different browser. I hope they will get this fixed soon. Chad Link to comment
