@Alxa, I feel like you too. For now I don't find Evernote as reliable as the "Legacy" version. I let a phone and the computer on legacy and just use the new version on another phone. Progresses were made but I still don't feel completely safe

Hi everyone,

This worked for me on the latest android version. Although the progression bar on the screen doesn't make progress, it's actually charging in the background.

You have to quit the notebook screen, then go into it again. 

It's pretty slow, I've got almost 800 notes for 400Mo and I took almost 2-3 hours, charging notebook by notebook

I totally agree it's a big turn off for me. But the rest of Evernote seems to be improving

Hi @PinkElephant.

I did as you said taking one notebook at a time and it went pretty fine.

I first had to uninstall the app as going into the notebooks made it freeze.

Now everything seem to work fine!

Hi @PinkElephant

I've tried several solution too. With the latest update I've also tried to take the app out of the "battery optimized applications" but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

It's not really urgent, it's mainly for testing purpose on a phone. I'll let it work for some nights but the progress bar really seems to be stuck

Thank you very much @PinkElephant

I will do as you say ! I already tried to set screen on "30 min stand by" but it didn't help.

I didn't think it would take so long. Do we have any idea why I takes so long? (it works almost perfectly on Windows10)

Thanks again for your help. Have a great day!

Hi everyone, I've got some issue with offline notebooks on Android.

I'm using the latest version (10.26 1120549) of Evernote. I've selected the option to download all the notebooks to make them available offline.

After several days, some notebook aren't downloaded yet. All my notes are 300Mo max so it should not be a problem with Wi-Fi.

Has someone experienced the same problem? I've read topics where the issue is apparently solved. I've uninstalled / reinstalled the app but the problem still remains.

Have a great day!

Thanks, both are installed and working perfectly. But for now I was just logged with the Legacy version.

So both version can be logged on the same account at the same time without any conflict?

Hi @agsteele . Thank you for your answer.

So I need to uninstall both and then reinstall in a particular order? Is there any particular reason for that?

Have a nice evening!

Hi everyone. I'd like to give v10 a try

I've already installed both version but I'm currently only using Legacy and don't want to mess my actual system.

Is this still possible to use Legacy alongside with the v10 without damaging Legacy notes and / or tag structure?

Hye everyone, thank you so much for all your answers. Seems the problem doesn't only occur on my computer.

I'll simply do copy/paste for every note, it's no big deal. I'd like to avoid this title length limitation because I'm being maniac, and I want the first line of each note to be like the title (because for some note, there's only one line in the body of the note, whereas for others it's more complex)

All seems to be solved. Thanks again for your help!! Have a great day

Hi Gazumped, thank you very much for your answer.

I've tried it to be sure. If I write 200 characters in the note's body, when syncing the note, only the first 80 appear in the title. I don't think the problem comes from my screen: when I select the title, hit Ctrl + A to select all the characters in it, I only have 80 (I checked with https://www.charactercountonline.com/)

I'm using Windows Evernote Client on Windows 10 Pro. If I manually copy the 200 characters from the body to the title, I have no error and the title is 200 character long. The problem only appears when the title is automatically taken from the note's body (which I'd like to do)

Hi everyone! 

I use to get my note title from the first characters of the note body. I noticed there is a limit so that only the first 80 characters are kept for the title.

In this topic, they tell there is a 200 characters note title limit

Is there a reason for the 80 characters limitation? I have to manually copy to the title. It's a little annoying; so if there's another way to do it I'm looking for your help

Have a great day. Best regards!!!

I prefer getting the list displayed.  0,1,2 might be obvious but it gets complicated after that.

For now, 0 1 2 3 doesn't have any direct use. They are just containers. For example I quickly check in 0 if all notes have a reminder. If not I have to put one

A good shortcut, but a one-trick-pony; you can only use it for one set of tags.

Here's my trick.

I prefix the tags with the subject; for example "Sched" for scheduling.
So my tags would be    Sched-Today, Sched-Tomorrow, Sched-NextWeek, ...

To enter the scheduling tag, I start typing Sched
Instead of a list of 300+ random tags, I'm presented with a list of 4 scheduling tags

I can use the same trick for different sets of tags; Project, Vendor, Budget, ...

 

Hello DTLow! I want the desired field to appear when typing a single character. For example, every "context" is preceded by the !character, where by a @ ... By doing this, they are quickly accessible with minimum action. The when is the exception with 0 1 2 3. These character are only used in timing tags so by pressing 0 I'm sure to get the right tag

Another prefix option is to use a single character.  For example, I use ! for action tags.  This makes it easy to access them and also sorts them to the front of the tag list.  I use four such special character prefixes so easy enough to remember.  ! . _ =

It's exactly what I have been doing; ! for context, @ for location, and 0 1 2 3 ... for timing

For day +2, I would use    reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day+3  -reminderDoneTime:*
                                            (all reminders        exclude future dated    exclude completed)

For specifically dated   reminderTime:day+2  -reminderTime:day+3   -reminderDoneTime:*

>>What solution do you recommend for syncing your calendar (google calendar) with Evernote?

Sorry, I'm an Apple Calendar use.  I use scripting on my Mac or drag-and-drop
You could look at Cronofy Calendar Connector

>>Edit : found some solution to show the reminders on the next day
             reminderOrder:* reminderTime:day+2 -reminderTime:day+3 -reminderDoneTime:*

It helps if you give the description of the parameters,
for example the first parameter is          (all reminders)
                        the second parameter is   (all reminders dated day+2 or greater)

Thank you very much, the calendar is not so much important now that I managed to have special reminders for J+1, J+2, J+3... I'll give it a look

I just finished to setup the system, all is prepared for the week, only minor updates will be needed (if all goes well).

The search for J+1 reminder is: 

Quote

reminderOrder:* reminderTime:day+1 -reminderTime:day+2 -reminderDoneTime:*

reminderOrder:* : the note has a reminder

reminderTime:day+1 : seek for all reminders dated greater than J+1

-reminderTime:day+2 : seek for all reminders dated prior to J+2

-reminderDoneTime:* : the note has no "done reminder"

I've created a last search for every note that has a reminder but is not in "0-Now (this week)" (so I can quickly search for my mistakes)

Quote

reminderOrder:* -reminderDoneTime:* -tag:"0-Now (this week)"

 reminderOrder:* : with a reminder set

-reminderDoneTime:* : with no "done reminder"

-tag:"0-Now (this week)" : that has not the "0-Now (this week)" tag

Hi DTLow, sorry for the comprehension problem. Yes my "today" tasks are prompted with reminder and the saved search

Quote

   reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day+1 -reminderDoneTime:*

The 0-This week, is only a tag that is used to browse its notes and check if all have a defined reminder. Only the notes inside this "0-This week" tag will have reminder, exception of meetings or events which dates are already known.

The down-side of the system I'm trying to set is its visibility. If I want to see all the reminder on a specific day, I have to go to all note. I tried to make a search for

Quote

reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day+2 -reminderTime:day-1 -reminderDoneTime:*

But it didn't work  

What solution do you recommend for syncing your calendar (google calendar) with Evernote?

I noticed in your post you said  "0-This Week"
I suspect this is referring to the mechanism (a tag?) instead of the requirement.

When I referred to requirements, I wrote "This Week" and "This Day"

To produce my task list I don't go to the tag list, notebook list, reminder list, ...
I go to the shortcut section and click on a shortcut.  This is a saved search to whatever mechanism is needed.

You're right, it refers to a tag that means need to be addressed the current week. I wasn't aware if it was a requirement or a mechanism. The 0 in front of the expression is for having quick keyboard shortcut (as I hit 0 the tag is selected)

I remember about your search, I'll copy it into my system as it is very efficient!!!

>>How to identify Overdue Tasks?

I have no process to identify overdue tasks.
I identify notes as Actionable, but with no indication of duration.  The task could take 3 minutes or 3 days.

No overdue task for me too. They're still in the daily task, undone and eventually are addressed for later or due to the next day

The reason I want to stay in Evernote is it's the central place for all my data.

Evernote handles my simple task mangement.  For complex projects, I use a heavy duty project management service.

It's the same reason here. I used Evernote for data management but also task list management

What do you mean by separate requirement from the mechanism? (sorry english is not my native language)?

Thanks for taking this much time for answering my questions. I begin to understand what I want my system to look like.

• For now I'll keep having the project as I do, I'll see if later improvements can be made
• Every event will have a precise reminder
• The actionnable items out of 0-This week won't have any reminder

I think it might solve some workflow problem.

Thanks to PhraseExpress, I've set keyboard shortcuts for reminder. I'll bind them to the programmable buttons of my mouse, so that with only one click I'll set the reminder

Hi DTLow, thank you for your answer. For how much time do you have precise reminder for your notes?

Thanks for the confirmation, so I was wondering about an hybrid system with precise reminders for the week and the week tags, it could solve some of my problem. Does this seem totally nuts?

For me project refers to the domains the notes are about: work, personal life, guitar, personal development. It's not really a specific project. For example, if I need to read a guitar book, I would set 3 tags: !guitar, to read, @anywhere (if I can read it anywhere including during commuting) 

Hi everyone, thanks to CalS I managed to successfully set keyboard shortcuts for setting/modifying/clearing reminders.

I've got some more questions. For setting reminders, I can't see farther than a week, so it would end with only setting reminders for the incoming week. If I understand, DTLow, you use the date beginning of the week after to sort these items? And then you sort them on the beginning of the next week? 

I was wondering about what you think about the following system:

• Have a tagging system like this: 0-This week, 1-Next week, 2-Week after, 3-This month...
• All items in 0-This week would have a reminder without exception
• Notes without exception would have a context: What project, what action, where to do

I wish I could find the post to give proper credit.  A user in these forums kept at it until I finally understood the concept.

>>I'd like to have an overview of your system too, if you were willing to share with us!! 

In this discussion you have the overview of the date assignment (tag vs date)

Other topics would be

• Task Priority
• Context
• Project Review

Thank you very much, I'll first get a grip on the reminder system, then see what I can add to or modify in my system. You were a great help!!!

Just bits and pieces
This discussion focused on the date assignment for tasks (tag vs date); I use date
                                                         and the filter for Current Tasks

As I said, I think priority needs to be addressed
There's also the GTD context, like Personal and Work

Project Review Process would be another discussion

Hi DTLow, thanks for the explanations. Your system management seems pretty nice. Where did you get the idea of the reminder use? Is there any source or book? 

I'd like to have an overview of your system too, if you were willing to share with us!! 

Big thanks again, I think reminders may change my life!!!

I used PhraseExpress to create shortcuts for add, change, complete and clear reminders.  Makes it a lot easier.  

Hi CalS. Thank you very very much, I'll give a look at it

I've structured the search so uncompleted tasks just carry forward unti flagged as completed.

 

I just tried your search quote after posting, it's pretty nice. I'll try it the next week after maturing it.

I've just found this topic about AutoHotKey for setting keyboard shortcuts for reminders:
