Just noting in the forums here a problem and the fix in case it helps others. I was finally forced to upgrade to EN 10 on my Android (was resisting due to bad reviews) and after the upgrade, the first thing I noticed was that I couldn't save a NEW note. I could save an existing note if I changed it, but no new notes would be accepted. This is what that looked like: The resolution turned out to be: Set a new default notebook (an existing one) and then was able to create AND save a note without any issues. Then I set previous notebook back to being the default and that worked too. NOTE: I had to close the Android app between these settings changes to make sure the new default notebooks took effect. Again, just noting this for posterity in case it helps.

Nice summary! Thanks for taking the time and also sending it to EN on proper developer/support channels. Hopefully they hear you. I've been stumbling through the use of V10 for the few months and it's usable, but definitely slower than it used to be. I miss the speed with which I could move in v6 and sometimes I go back to Legacy 6.25 in Windows to get certain things done. My biggest gripe is probably the 50 note limit. That and the fact that mobile for Android appears to be in VERY bad shape, judging from the almost endless stream of very low reviews in the Play Store. It's so bad that I'm actually concerned for the future of Evernote. I've seen no indication from EN that they are even aware of the lambasting they are taking there from their customers, although I can't imagine they've not noticed. But there's no response from EN that I can see anywhere. Half of my time on EN is mobile and so I've turned off all autoupdates and am manually selecting 100+ apps to update, one at a time, in my Samsung Note 10+ just to avoid an update to Evernote. My patience on that point is getting thinner and thinner, I must admit. Evernote should communicate back to their userbase on their crappy mobile experience. The last meaningful video from management on mobile seems to be from a year ago. Meanwhile, check these reviews out... These are just from the last 24 hours and they are almost all one star, maybe 2. EN should start talking to their users about this or they are going to find themselves in a tight spot, IMO, and having a real tough time recovering from the negativity the mobile app is generating, at least on the Play Store. Also, I'd really like to get back to letting my phone upgrade itself for a change.

Yeah and I'm a techy so I should have thought of it. But sometimes when you're in it, you kind of 🥴! Thanks again for the common sense reminder.

Ok that did it. Appreciate the quick responses, @gazumped and @PinkElephant and @Mike P. I should have thought about killing and restarting, which is all it took. Will remember that next time (he said)!

What happened to Tasks early access in this latest update? I went to add some tasks to a note and the feature is totally gone. Feeling a little gaslighted, I went to my notebook where I had not yet upgraded to confirm I had it to begin with and I did. So Tasks feature definitely disappeared for me during the latest update.

One of the features that keeps me firmly embedded in EN is the OCR and resulting ability to search notes, handwriting, PDFs, etc. I've not found any alternative solutions that will do that as seamlessly as EN has.

Can confirm. Same problem.

I'll give that a fresh look at some point too. I tried Nimbus about the same time as you did, it would seem, and it was too rough for me. Can't hurt to look again though.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Which Scansnap do you have @PinkElephant? I've got an older S1300. Works GREAT, but I currently have to have middleware from Scansnap (Scansnap Manager) and that only seem to work with Legacy 6.25 (not V10). I've not tried real hard to configure the ScanSnap Manger to work with V10 to be honest. But on cursory glance, it would appear it only looks for "Evernote" and I suspect it is looking for the older Windows version of Evernote and would not see HTML5 version. Honestly I wonder if it's even possible to have HTML5 Evernote (v10) interface with scanner middleware. Maybe I'd have to tell scanner to just "Scan to Folder" (see below) and EN will one day be able to regularly poll a folder for new scans? Here's a question, though: under which current v10 menu would such a "poll this Windows folder for new scans" setting go? There isn't even a menu item called Settings, as far as I can see. Just noticed that. There's Preferences, but it has all of two settings right now: Spell Check and Save Data At Logout. Doesn't look like there are going to be many settings, as such, for this new Evernote we are getting to know.

Thanks for all that! I gave Joplin a fresh look last night and imported about 2,000 of my most active notes into it. Unfortunately, Joplin is too rudimentary for my workflows. I immediately started hitting some walls and it would just mess with my world too much right now. I probably generate 10 new notes a day on average and it start with the web clipper most of the time and then I have saved searches I use daily and the like. But it was fine to give it a quick test.

Interesting. I've not experience this personally. I did in the early days, but not in the last month or so. Maybe two hangs, total in that time period.

If you don't mind me asking, how many EN notes are you migrating and what sorts of major challenges, if any, have you had migrating over to Joplin? I don't currently have any plans to migrate away, but I'm curious just in case that changes.

Oh man! I am bummed to hear this, but not at all surprised. I disabled auto-updates on my Samsung Note 10+ quite a while back when I saw the utterly abysmal reviews for V10 on Google Play Store. I mean it was really ugly in there. Windows v10 app having left a mark on me initially, I didn't want to lose my right arm (read: functioning Android EN app which I rely on so heavily). So disabling auto-updates was my hack to keep moving forward and still use Windows V10 when it was ready enough. Been using Windows V10for several weeks now. Not looking back. However, I did have to do one thing in Legacy v6.25 today, which was print a note. Last time I tried printing a note it was a complete fail. Literally. Basically a blank page. That's my State of the EN Techno Union at this point, for whatever that's worth to someone out there.
