Incomprehensible note locks
mz123 replied to Cyroxian's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
@Ralph77 I'm not certain it would help. You can somewhat disregard that message. About 2 weeks ago, I accidentally upgraded myself to 8.12.2. I haven't seen the issue described here, so perhaps whatever is triggering the problem isn't applying to me. Nonetheless, my circumstances don't present any strong evidence that 8.9.1 avoids the problem. Perhaps it does, but perhaps something else is at fault. It could also be a server-side issue that applies to certain people. I hate this circus. I miss the days when I could upgrade Evernote without fear that the upgrade would include debilitating bugs. There have been too many lately. I really hope Evernote identifies the root cause and fixes it before I run into it, as downgrading, adjusting settings, and re-syncing offline notebooks is not how I want to be spending my time. -

Anything unusual about the notes? Something in common that might lead to a workaround idea? -

Has anyone figured out the conditions that trigger this bug? I feel as if there aren't enough posts here to indicate that all users have it, but that might not be true. Perhaps all do, but only notes with certain content do. -

Thanks for the update. After being burned badly twice this year with really bad bugs introduced in updates, I am holding off on updating due to this issue. For what it's worth, I haven't seen this issue on v. 8.9.1 I hope the reliability of Evernote updates improves enough so that I don't feel the need to scour forums for bug reports before installing an update. For me, it's not always as simple as install / uninstall. I have large offline notebooks that need to be re-downloaded over many hours (and apparently many failures). This is not required when updating, but downgrading always requires an uninstall, which causes this headache. I'll be watching this, so any updates are appreciated. -
Your experience mirrors mine (on a manually installed APK), but I did get notified of updates on the Play Store eventually. I received the June 26 update a day or two after release, for example. I believe that publishers on Google Play can roll out in stages or with delays, and some people get the update later than others. That said, I'm surprised you don't see anything after June 5, as there were a couple of releases since then. Perhaps try clearing your Play Store cache and restart your phone. I've had glitches in the past where many updates showed up after performing those steps.

For those of you who think you have an intermittent issues or no issue at all, please try the steps I posted to recreate the issue - for me it happens every time. See my post in a separate thread on this problem here: This is the same issue described here. I later clarified that the app does eventually unfreeze, but for me it takes well over a minute. I am on a modern flagship phone, have no other performance issues, and a fantastic internet connection.

Gazumped, Are you still not having issues? Have you tried my steps above? They are a sure-fire way to recreate the problem for me. Just don't wait between them... do them right after another. You are the only person I have seen chime in and indicate that your phone is immune to the issue, so that's curious.

I'm running the newest stable channel Android Pie with the June patch. It certainly possible that the new Evernote has a problem only with newer Android versions, as I've noticed that those reporting no problems are on older versions of Android? I can recreate a crash every time by doing this Create a new note. Delete, don't save. Try to create a 2nd note. You'll find you cant type in the content area, save, or delete the note. App essentially frozen. Force-stop Evernote to "recover" to a state that will let you do step 1 again or potentially open a note without error.

The latest version release, released on the Play store yesterday and marked as 8.10, is quite horrible. Opening notes, saving notes, adding photos, all cause freezes / crashes. Not every single time, but quite often. Why does Evernote keep releasing such buggy updates? It feels as if even basic testing is not being done.
