  1. Enough of this *****. I'm downgrading. Does anyone know of a download link for the 8.8.x APK within official Evernote domains? At the same time I'm going to try exporting an APK from my girlfriend's phone using [Apk Extractor from F-Droid. No ads, no tracking.] https://f-droid.org/en/packages/axp.tool.apkextractor/

    A lesson for the future. Demand that the developeres post actual change logs. Developers - post change logs, do your #$^@! job!

    That's how it manifests, yes. Let's hope for a quick fix. At the sime time, I don't hold my breath. Some people called the bug "recent". It's barely recent on my install at least. Months rather than weeks.

    I got used to Evernote's nonchalant apporach to CORE features misbehaving but the priority of this one multiplied by how long it's being allowed to dangle makes me think this is a new record.

    Since this problem seems to apply to users of the beta version, I'd suggest adding your voices to the report on it in the beta forum:

    If it's a serious problem for you, it might be best to drop back from the 8.9 beta to the current released version, 8.8.

    I have this problem as well and I've never participated in the beta program. Evernote forcing a beta or a quasi-beta versions on users in the Play store shouldn't count as a beta participation.

    @rimboma it would be interesting to know your detailed version number from your most recent activity log. Under the "Device and Install Info" section you will find lines similar to:

    Evernote version: 8.x(yyyyyyy)
    Evernote revision: 8.x_zzzz
    Evernote type: public (or something else)

    This information would help determine if your issue is related to @Bill Clarke 's problem.

     

    I've added the info to the first post.

  6. I've just re-installed the app as cleanly and as with many restarts as possible. It changed nothing.

    Something is truly off though.

    I just checked it on my girlfriend's phone (my android is almost a stock one, while she uses Huawei P10 lite) and she gets different UI elements etc. I get only the "recycle" circle arrow (see the attached image) and nothing else while she gets a proper magnifying glass icon with a complete message "No notes have been found" or something like that.

  7. Or rarely works. It's been like that for months now. I simply forgot to report it. Search doesn't return any results for simple, single, separate English words guaranteed to be present in my notes.

     

    Connectivity - assured.

    Notebooks - personal i.e. not shared notebooks.

    Restarts, reboots, cleaning app cache don't work. It's been like that on my previous Android installation so I assume reinstalling the app doesn't help either.

    Tested also with Google 's WebView 73.x instead of my AOSP WebView 69.x.

    Oops. No it hasn't. Just tried to attach an image (via "Attach File") and while I was at the very bottom of the note , EN thought it would look better a few paragraphs up in the middle of a sentence. Oh well, back to 6.16.4. It has the same problem but it's a bit less likely to misplace the attachment.

    I confirm! I was getting a false impression somehow. Still all the same bollocks! This is ridiculous! Today I got an image randomly NOT placed at all. It's good I noticed it. Then I got an image teleported to the middle of one of the URLs. I dragged it out, the URL seemed to got fixed together. What I ended up with? A #%@#g clickable image with a hard-coded URL which made it impossible to click on the image without being kicked out to my web browser.

    If you can't get your head around it, just remove drag and drop.

    I found a simple workaround to this as it has been a real problem for quite some time. Just stick 30 or 40 blank lines in the note, close to where you want the attachment to go. Drag-and-drop the attachment somewhere in this blank area. It won't be anywhere close to where you dropped it but if you are really, really lucky it will be in that monster blank area. Then just delete the blank lines you don't need.

    May not be a sensible way of curing the problem but it's faster than waiting for EN to fix it. I've got about 1500 notes I need to format so adding and then deleting 40-50 thousand blank lines is all I can do. As was said earlier by someone, EN likely won't be doing anything about it any time soon.

    As well, when the attachment goes somewhere totally bizarre, just hit Ctrl-Z to remove it and try again. I found that after doing this a few dozen times it will usually attach where your cursor is, but you may have to try/retry a few hundred times. Eventually it will work. So what if it takes a week to enter a single note. Who's in a hurry? 

    I'm currently testing the cursor placement method as it would be much more efficient. I'll try your method if this fails.

    Yes, Ctrl+Z is the way to go, especially that tumor-attachments may end up in the middle of a URL and open the URL when you even attempt to drag them anywhere.

  10. The bug is still present for months now. What's worse the behavior may lead to a broken note as Evernote know no limits as far as placing dropped attachments. It may even nest it in the middle of a URL, making the operation of removing it from there rather risky. Sometimes when I drop two images one is placed randomly somewhere in the note, while the other is not placed anywhere in the note.

    As usual, it used to work flawlesly!

    Here's my previous post on the issue.

    So you're correct;  they're not duplicates,  they're notifications of conflicting edits where Evernote is being confused by a web browser connection,  or by editing a note from two devices - or in some cases by two people editing the note at the same time with the same login. 

    If you're using the web version of Evernote you can avoid the issue by using another editor or word processor to create the text,  then cut and paste into the note and attach the WP file to the same note.  Further edits can be done anywhere that software is available by opening the note attachment. 

    If you're editing on a tablet and a desktop,  just make sure you sync the app both before and after any changes,  so that you're not adding text to a note which is then 'updated' with an earlier version of the note from another device when it automatically syncs.  Two edits from the same user means Evernote can't decide which is the correct information,  so it creates another note.

    To clarify: My test notes are not shared, and are in an un-shared notebook, plus: edited on a single device (Web). So we're left with "confused by a web browser connection". As I stated already, I do not consider it a valid cause. Especially that Evernote Web relies on a mindfield-like mechanism of instantaneous syncing, exposing to all possible risks without taking advantage of the single existing advantage of the mechanism.

    I do use an external editor now and I highly recommend the multitab, autosaving Notepad++ (unformatted text only) but it's a freaking patchwork as far as the whole situation goes.

    BTW, I've been using Evernote Web since inception for a year or so and I don't recall such problems in its infancy.

  12. I keep getting duplicate of notes that are not shared, in an un-shared notebook. First Evernote wanted us to ignore that on its way to "providing great formatting features" it doesn't handle unformatted text properly and now this.. I've been using software that "saves something to the internet and back" since late 90's and I don't recall a similar behavior of an app effectively jeopardizing content "due to <excuse>".

    Recently I've wasted possibly hours on loading duplicates into a text comparator (Notepad++) to avoid messing up really important information by continuing with edits in the wrong note. Because the "duplicates" are not really duplicates! They are notes differing with the last edit or few edits!
