Same problem here - @gmx Adress. Ticket is open. Cheers. 

Edit: Technical support fixed it.

Hi all,

as promised, I'll share the result of my request (I asked support, they were ok with me quoting them - I shorted it a bit)

" Thank you for sending [a video of the problem], it worked and I was able to identify the widget you were mentioning.

I consulted my Android development team about this issue and it seems that we are aware and investigating.

For the sake of all transparency, it could take some time before we get to fix this issue. To elaborate, since last year, we've been busy working on revamping major components of the app, including the syncing mechanism, our backend infrastructure, our note editor to only name a few - both on desktop and mobile devices. This work has been the highest priority company-wide and has been affecting the priority of other issues.

I know it's been a long time since we haven't came out with new functionalities, and I want to thank you for your support, and sticking with Evernote. We are very excited to share very soon what we've been dedicating our efforts to for the last year. If you'd like to know more about what we're up to, I invite you to read the latest blog post of our CEO Ian Small — 2020 Update: Our Progress and the Road Ahead.

We also published Behind The Scenes videos to show you what in more details some of our work in-house — I recommend watching the video about our work on the redesign of the mobile app. This will also apply to the note editor in Evernote for iPhone and Android.

[...] I made sure to forward all the helpful information you've included in this ticket to the engineering team.

[...]

Looks like we'll just have to wait.

Cheers

Alex

P.S: Saved searches etc. as a link on the homescreen were provided as a workaround.
 

Hi all,

the lag is really a deal breaker. I would love to use evernote for handwritten notes, but currently it is unbearable.

Cheers

Alex

@Lexbrkly, using your detailed report, I just tested on my phone, and I'm not having the problem. It's evidently not universal, but may be related to specific circumstances on specific devices. Since you're on a Premium subscription, it might be good to contact technical support. Let us know here if you they're able to be helpful; it might help others out. Support: https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new. If you have problems there, take a look at https://discussion.evernote.com/announcement/72-issues-accessing-evernote-support-channels/.

Thanks, I'll try to find a solution and will post the results! 

Hi, 

I'm bringing this up because I have a similar issue with the new note 10. I can't open single notes from the widget if it shows saved searches or notebooks ; I can open individual notes from the reminder view. The only way to open individual notes from notebook /saved search view is to close evernote with the back button. it won't work if I open evernote and press the home button. I have tried the battery optimization and device management settings, but nothing seems to work. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks

Alex

Yep, those are the symptoms. Let's hope they'll get fixed soon.

Weirdly,  my search has just stopped working - enter any word into the search box,  even one that I know is in a recent note,  and all I get is an endlessly circling arrow.  I'm still on 8.9_Beta3 and have tried the Search & Storage trick;  no result.  Hmmn.  

Clearing cache etc doesn't work for me either. Do your saved searches work? 

I opened a ticket with Evernote support. After 4 days, 9 emails and 3 different contact persons, evernote told me:

'We're currently aware of this issue and working on a fix that will be in an upcoming release. You'll receive an in-app message when the next update is available. Additionally, you can always select Help>Check for Updates.' 

Cheers

A deinstall and reinstall solved the problem for me. 

Didn't work for me.

@Lexbrkly It might be interesting to check your activity log and post the build number and revision number of 8.9 that you have. Here's what I found when I did this.

Evernote version: 8.9(1082813)

Evernote revision: 8.9_2464

Evernote type: public

I guess that's not beta.

1. I use searches to generate different task views (project, due date, completed, ...)
   My current task list is generated by search  reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day+1 -reminderDoneTime:*

When I first read this and implemented (i.e. stole) it, it changed the way I use Evernote. Really like Android's widget displaying that (dynamic) saved search = my todo list. Thanks for the input!

@Dave-in-Decatur thanks for the links, I will start following those discussions too. It looks like Evernote on Android is having a version contamination problem.

Astoundingly, this appears to have been going on for quite a while.

Wow. I had the search issue as well, deinstalled/left beta, everything worked fine. A few days later, I got an automatic update, thinking it was the normal - non beta version. Search ist broken again. After I read your post, I checked the app version - 8.9. Seems to be the same beta for non beta users problem?! 

Edit:8.9 seems to be public. Does that mean the known bug from beta was simply released despite the complaints in this forum?

Same problem with Note 8 after the update (non-beta).

Cheers

@DTLow Thanks for sharing your setup. I too would be interested in a post in which you would describe everything in more detail. One question : do you haye a 'waiting for' tag/mechanism? I.e. something marking a task that can only be done after some one else did something (e.g. one is waiting for an email of someone).

@Mike McGowan You might want to check out filterize.net, a service which let's you automate some things including reminders - maybe you could use it for bulk updating.

Cheers

The new design is neat, but the countdown (on twitter) and the posts are a bit over the top.

I too hoped for improvements in functionality (handwriting in android is still laggy; dark mode would be great etc.).

My notes in Evernote contain files of many formats including MS Word.  If that's a format you need to use, it's supported in Evernote.

Hi DTLow, 

Sorry if I expressed myself unclearly.

What I meant was that with citavi, I have the option in word to insert the citation of the text as a footnote, the form of the citation being related to what kind of text (e.g. article, judgment etc.) it is. Meaning the citation of the text is the same throughout the document and I can change it later as well. It's a bit off-topic, check out a description of citavi if I am still unclear. 

Cheers 

Alex

Hi, 

I had this discussion lately. I prefer citavi for my PhD work, since it integrates with word, meaning citation is much easier. 

However, if you work on a Mac and/or don't need the citation feature, Evernote should work. 

It's the old dicsussion of Notebooks v tags, but you could have your whole thesis structure replicated by tags (e.g. Introduction - main part - conclusion) with hierarchical subtags, which would give you the option to use a note containing the source (a pdf file for example) and tag it according to where in your phd you'll use the source. 

Regards 

Alex 

Hi,

I can comment from my experience on the Note 4 and now Note 8: I experience a similiar lag. It is not related to your device, others (see e.g. 

) have had similar problems.
