I have this problem as well. I think it might be the issue I posted about a few minutes ago in another thread - that for those of us just updating from the legacy Android EN, the new version does not recognize our old default notebook as the default notebook, hence we have no default notebook. I think most of these issues with creating new notes, "clipping" and tagging will resolve once we have identified a default notebook. My understanding is this cannot be done in the EN Android app, but only in Evernote for the Web.
