  1. I have noticed that there seems to be a 'state machine' error on in the import feature in Evernote. I am using the app (version 10.9) on an Android phone. I routinely use the 'share' feature from the phone browser to save articles (I have tried three different internet browsers on the phone and they all do the same thing, so I suspect it is Evernote, or perhaps the Android operating system and not the browser, that causes this condition.) The symptom appears when that I 'share' an article from the browser to Evernote; and Evernote shows the 'banner' with the spinner icon in the 'Notes' section while it is importing the note. (1) if I navigate away from the Evernote app before the import finishes, it does not finish the incomplete import in the 'background', but only upon later returning to Evernote 'Notes' section, whereupon it continues showing the 'importing...' banner ... and (often) completes importing only after Evernote has been left open in the foreground for a sufficient time for the import to fully complete. However, (2) it seems that there is a 'cache' somewhere that 'remembers' prior imports. When I later go back to the phone internet browser, find some new article, and try 'share -> Evernote' to import the next one, the dialog box in Evernote opens and it still shows the title of some previous article (let's call it article 'X' -- which had actually successfully imported previously many imports ago.) If I don't hit cancel and choose 'save', it will duplicate the import of article X and make a redundant copy of this previously imported article in Notes. If I do hit 'Cancel', then return to the Internet Browser, and then 'Share -> Evernote' again, this time the import state machine will begin working to import the new article. However, even after successfully doing so, and after some time later, the next time that I go to 'share -> Evernote' to import another new article, I will see the import dialog appear again with the same previous article 'X', which I first have to 'cancel', then return to the internet browser, and then hit 'share -> Evernote' again to successfully import the new article. It does seem that if I "quit" the Evernote app (using the 'close app' feature in Android) and then re-launch it, the stuck 'Article X' import seems to be cleared...until the next time the bug occurs with some future article, which then becomes the 'stuck' import default article. I'm not certain of this (the state error being cleared by terminating and then re-launching the app) having only tested it briefly, but it may be a valid 'state clearing' condition.
