Dark Mode for Windows
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Georgi Georgiev's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Farewell, then. I'm sure your mind-reading skills will be missed. OK, sorry for the counter-sarcasm. But none of us here, neither those who can manage in Evernote without dark mode nor those who can't, knows what Evernote's development priorities are. And of course Microsoft can gift its own note app with dark mode, while making it difficult for other apps to have it. -
Apologies for not understanding clearly before. The changing of certain characters in links to ASCII code forms with % has been reported elsewhere, specifically with reference to Google Drive links in the Windows app: and: The fact that you're having the problem on both Android and Mac, and yet others (including myself) are not having it on Android, is very puzzling indeed. I hope your support ticket gets you some help from Evernote. I'd certainly be interested in knowing what they say.

E-mail address is not assigned to any user account
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Shermwins's question in General Technical Issues
It's an obvious question, but an easy mistake to make: are you sure you're signing in with the same email account and password? If the problem persists, as a Premium subscriber you're eligible for support--but of course that won't work if you can't sign in! -
I couldn't see any common features among my several notes that couldn't be synced. But I also haven't experienced it recently, whereas others seem to be having it happen frequently. It does seem pretty random. However, in an earlier post, I reported that tech support told me it's a high priority, and that they had a fix in beta. Let's hope there's more news soon.

I only have about 850 notes, and I don't notice the slow loading, freezing, or crashing. But I do have a number of notes in different notebooks that never appear in thumbnail view, although, bizarrely, they show up fine in snippet or card view. These include very simple text notes or notes with checkbox lists. I reported this last year: I suspect the two issues are related. And I wouldn't be surprised if Chromium is behind it. Why is everyone switching to it, considering how hard it apparently is to get things working right with it? I have a browser and an email app on my phone that use it, and pages sometimes take at least a minute to become functional after they seem to have loaded. Moral: whatever is wrong, it's Google's fault.

Adding Web Content to Notes in the Evernote Editor
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Shane D.'s topic in Behind the Scenes Series
OK, thanks. Really wish they would indicate something to the effect of "coming soon to a Windows computer near you," rather than presenting these features as if they were already generally available. -
Adding Web Content to Notes in the Evernote Editor
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Shane D.'s topic in Behind the Scenes Series
What is described here is not available in v. 6.19.2 of the Windows Evernote program (as far as I can tell in a brief test). Is there any information about when it will be? -
Notes not saving
Dave-in-Decatur replied to martin.everett's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
Thanks for the clarification. I've rarely seen that error, and when I have seen it, I think force-closing Evernote or rebooting the phone fixed it. That would be worth a try--first of all saving the content of the note in some other app temporarily! If all else fails, you could uninstall Evernote on the device and reinstall. This can be a bit time-consuming--you do have to make sure that any offline notebooks are temporarily made online, and then do a sync (for whatever notes will sync). On mobile devices, Evernote doesn't store the entire database, only an index and any offline notebooks. So when you uninstall, those will be lost. When you reinstall, the index will be recreated by doing a sync, and if you have a lot of notes and notebooks that can take awhile. So hopefully just restarting the app or the phone will fix it. -
Well.... Yes, the step from 0 to US$70 is pretty steep. But $70/year for what Evernote Premium provides has never seemed high to me, if one is using Evernote in a professional context. For purely personal record keeping, yes, it might be a bit much--almost the cost of a cup of coffee per week! Honestly, I pay almost 3 times that much per month to each of my internet/TV and mobile phone service providers. Maybe I'm overpaying there. But the cost for Evernote Premium is trivial in comparison to other technology expenses that are generally considered reasonable, IMHO.

Notes not saving
Dave-in-Decatur replied to martin.everett's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
Hello, @tarun6006, and welcome to the forums! These are mostly user-to-user discussions, but we love to help. The original poster here did not give quite enough details to identify the problem, so it would be helpful if you could say a bit more. What exactly is happening, or not happening? Specifically, are edits that you make to your notes getting lost altogether (so that they disappear when you close the note)? Or do they appear in the Android app, but not in the Web, Windows, iOS, etc., versions of Evernote (meaning that they are not being synced)? Are you by any chance having a problem similar to the one reported in this thread? In any case, what version of the Android app are you using? -
I've been in dialog with Evernote support, and at their request sent them activity logs and a screen recording so it could be bumped up to the development team. From the most recent email to me (today), this is the central point: While I don't have a time or date on when they would be resolved, do know they are working diligently on a resolution. I wish I could provide you a solution in this ticket but it does look like this will need an update to resolve completely. So the developers are working on it. I'm not surprised it would take an update to fix it. My fear is that it may not be common enough or predictable enough to be high on the priority list. It has not happened to me recently, but it was always random (or seemed so to me).

I don't know that paying users get any more information about errors or malfunctions. Tapping on the lock symbol got me that bizarre notice about the note being created in another app--how would that even be possible? But I don't get any info about the red triangle; I presume you also get the notification about notes that don't sync when you attempt a sync? At any rate, it's good to know that they are working on it. This did only start happening shortly after I updated to v. 8.10, so I have to think it is another problem introduced in that version. But I'm surprised that more people have not reported it here; this suggests that it must not be happening to everyone.
