Yeh, nothing happens when I tap it or hold it down although it does change color.

I've experienced this sometimes (unpredictably) also. Sometimes opening the note for editing helps, sometimes just tapping it till it responds does the job. Don't know whether this is caused by Evernote, Android, or some interaction between them.

It was already deselected, apparently by default.

OK, well, that was all I had.   As Cal said, Evernote will sometimes sync outside those settings anyway, assuming that sync is the cause of the problem. Can you give a little more detail about what happens and under what circumstances. It may be that others here have experienced something similar.

Tools > Options > Synchronization offers some control over when notes sync. Is it possible that (as others have reported) this is the bug in which the cursor jumps to the note title on sync? I believe the fix (until the bug itself is fixed) is Tools > Options > Note > deselect Set new note focus to title. I could be off on that, though.

How do I get my recent notes to show up above Notebooks in Windows client like the do in IOS?  Under View I have my Notebooks in the left panel, Shortcuts in the Toolbar and I want to see my recent notes displayed somewhere on the left hand side.  Any ideas please?

On the View menu, do you have Note List (F11) checked? That will display a list of notes between the notebooks and the individual note currently in focus. The list can be viewed and sorted in a variety of ways. With the Note List displayed, click the down arrow to the left of the Search Notes field. That will drop down a list of possible views and sort orders. Sorting by Updated in Reverse order will put the most recent ones at the top. You can either view the notes in a particular notebook (by clicking on it in the left panel), or use Ctrl+Shift+A (or click the All Notes icon in the toolbar) to see them all. Hope this helps.

You are really testing the patience of your customers and I certainly hope the company’s board is attuned to this sentiment.

Please be aware that these forums are user-to-user, and while Evernote staffers look into them occasionally (perhaps the feature-request ones like this more often than others, though I don't really know), they're not very effective for addressing the company directly.

9 people have voted to support this request (using the up arrow at the top of this page). Evidently some people think it's a good idea, but not yet a large enough number to make it a priority.

Cool! Never noticed this before. Welcome to the forums, @BradleyR. For me, a simple right-click works, without holding it especially long.

This is an absurd omission. Yes, probably more than a line of code, but sort of a critical feature. 

I think how critical it is varies from one user to another. If you have an Android tablet as your main computer, then yes, this could be critical. For me, using Evernote at home on my Windows desktop (where printing is possible, though far from perfect) and on my Android phone while traveling, doing research at libraries, etc., I seldom have any desire to print from the Android app. Occasionally it would be useful, but not critical. I find that the beauty of Evernote is the ability to take notes (not compose chapters of a book or manage a business) on my phone, which I can then manipulate in various ways, including printing, when at my computer. But other people have other uses, and I'm sure that using Evernote in a business or other work situation on a tablet might well require printing. The question is how the Evernote developers understand the main function of their Android app, and how they prioritize needs.

I am not sure if evernote stores every file I attached to notes in my computer locally, or all data is uploaded to cloud. Latter in my position would be so nice, so I can preserve much more HDD capacity  for my other needs.

Just to be sure we're understanding your question correctly, I think you're asking whether attachments (not just the text of a note) are stored locally. The answer is yes, I believe, attachments are incorporated into the content of the note in Evernote's local database on your computer, though not (I believe!) as separate documents. And they are also uploaded to Evernote's master version of your note database (in the "cloud"), unless the note is in a local (unsynced) notebook. This implies that if you attach, say, a .JPG file from your computer to an Evernote note and sync it, you could delete the original .JPG from your computer and still have it stored in Evernote.

sorry to say google.com/de  says no more than

latest update October 2nd , various bugs fixed and some improvements

So it is: "NEUE FUNKTIONEN: Fehlerbehebungen und sonstige Verbesserungen" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&hl=de). I wonder how it is listed in other languages. This makes it all the more necessary that some kind of indication regarding this be placed within the app itself. Same for the new feature allowing creation of notes from the lock screen, which is even more deeply hidden in the release notes (as "Customize Evernote notifications you care about from Android system settings"), as I described here:

@mikelisa, I find that it can sometimes take a really long time to download a complete Web page if it is complex or the connection is slow. Do you have a pretty fast, solid connection? It sounds like you're saying that no matter how long you wait, you never get a clipped page to show up in Evernote on Android. Is that correct?

Well, maybe I just don't know how or what to do, but I have the dickens of a time getting anything on my phone to print to my networked HP printer at home. Maybe I should try again sometime; it was so clunky and unlikely to work (and so different among different apps) that I gave up on it pretty completely awhile back.

That said, a save-to-PDF function within Android Evernote would be really good to have, as has been requested here:

Just updated to the lastest Android build. Upscaling  reflow really works a treat for text reflow. Thumbs up!

Sadly, however, no special mention in Google Play.

How many old-time users delve into settings every time a new build is released? Either it is obvious to see or the app itself draws attention to the improvement or at least the Play Store blurb points to it, or else an awful lot of people will go on  missing this really grand feature.

To be sure, the Google Play blurb does say, "Adjust the note text size for better readability." That's why I went looking through the app to find how to do it, but it took me awhile to stumble onto it in Settings. So I'd agree--they really need to promote this within the app itself.

Six years now and still no response from Evernote. I'm going straight to http://TrustPilot.com right now to explain to the world the complete #fail that this is!

This thread began January 29, 2015. I count 4 responses from Evernote employees in it.

This is a good idea, and has been suggested more than once. If you haven't yet, please click the up-arrow at the top of this page to support it.

One further thought, though. Do you know what that one single line of code would be? Me neither. Who knows, maybe it takes more than one line. Maybe printing from Android is not all that simple. It is possible to ask for the app to be improved without making unpleasant assumptions about those who have to do the work.

Thanks for your feedback in this forum. We are working on a setting that will enable you to adjust the scale of the note body size in the editor. This will make it easier to view note body text in the Android Evernote app, at a scale that works for your personal preferences. The feature will be available in beta in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned.

Some good news on this! The recently released Android app v. 7.13.1 indicates in the release notes on Google Play that we can now "Adjust the note text size for better readability." This seems to be the scaling to which @May Allen refers. The release notes don't say how this is done, but I've found it. Tap the 3-lines menu at the top left or the 3-dots menu at the top right of the app's main screen, then Settings > Notes; scroll to the bottom of the dialog and, under Editor, you can adjust the scale between 50% and 200%. This scale setting applies to all notes; but the same dialog can be accessed within any note from the 3-dots menu, then Settings (a scale setting made there will be global across all notes on the app). This setting affects display only; it does not actually change the text's font size. But when the text is scaled larger or smaller, it does flow/wrap properly, unlike the pinch zooming action.

Quoting a very old comment but there aren't many threads about spell checking on the forum, this is the most complete one.

The problem is most notable in the Windows client. In Mac EN uses the built in macOS spell checkers so there you'll not notice the problem.

I am a premium user of EN on 3 platforms: Mac, Windows and iOS and spell check is still (amazingly after all these years) very under par on EN for Windows compared with the other platforms.

Is the issue you're having specifically about editing the spell-checker? If not, in all honesty, so that your discussion can get more traction, I'd recommend just starting a new thread and listing the specific problems the spell-checker is giving you in Windows.

@sjt, it does seem to be taking a long time to implement what ought to be a simple feature. However, last year sometime Evernote changed their Android editor to a new, Chrome-based one. Its features were very basic from the beginning, but they have gradually been improving the formatting capabilities. I presume that this is the reason it's taking so long to get to this, since it has to be done within the overall context of a common editor across all devices. Assuming, that is, that they do intend to get to it eventually!

Very interesting. There's actually a thread going on in the Windows forum just now on a related topic. Someone there might find this helpful; you might post it there.

Ok, I see your point, which I consider your opinion.

Quite right. And there I am happy to leave it.

On my PC, I can hover the mouse pointer right over the little arrow or triangle that collapses and uncollapses the notebooks list or tags list and get a count to pop up. I don't actually have to click it. But I do have to be very precise about getting the mouse exactly over the arrow, not over anything else in that header. If this is not working for you, I'd suggest exiting Evernote entirely (use the File menu, then Exit; the red X-box only closes the interface). Then restart it. That often cleans up flaky program behavior.

On the desktop PC, did you try the method that @Austin G suggested just two posts above yours?

This post has nothing to do with Evernote, which stores notes on its servers and updates them to any new device. @sofietaslim. No special transfer procedures or software are needed. I've reported the post.
