There are some frustrations with the mobile app and sync, I experience these a fair bit but do manual syncs to try to avoid it which works mostly, except with tasks those don’t seem to sync as easily.

What's the model type and memory size of your phone?

@eric99I'm using a Samsung A52 5G with 6GB of ram.

Thanks for the info. I'm a bit surprised that even with 6GB ram, you still have problems...

The problem builds up over time: after a logout and clearing the cache, it is responsive. This proves that it is at least possible to run it on mid range phones. It looks like there is some kind of memory leak, or corruption of internal data structures, which makes EN unresponsive after a while.

I agree that EN should put the highest priority on these bug(s), because this affects most Android users. I never create notes on my phone anymore, while quick note taking on my phone was the main reason to become a subscriber 10 years ago.

I think it's getting better - but like I said;  if you have a ticket number for your Support query,  post it here and we can see whether the Forum Admins can get any reaction for you...

In case the poster can't provide a ticket number,  this one is about the same problem, issued 3 months ago: #3516578

Thanks

Or conversely, why does it work for you? 🤔 I'm using Windows with Firefox. 

To be honest I wouldn't expect it to work and I'm not troubled that it doesn't. My guess is that I haven't got the Evernote site in a cache and, perhaps, you have. Whatever, In delighted that it works for you. Don't care that it doesn't for me. At least not until it is an advertised feature 

Yes, EN for web is definitely cached in my browser. I notice it during normal operation as well, retrieval of recently visited notes is instant and still accessible offline as well.

Could it be that you ever disabled caching explicitly for the web client to solve cache coherence problems (I don't even know that this is possible in firefox)

Does anyone else have these problems? Have you found a workable solution?

Yes, I can't use my android phone for quick note taking anymore. It's just so slow to save a simple note (minutes).  There are users on this forum where it works properly ( Agsteele for instance). I think they have flagship phones with a lot of memory, 8 GB maybe...

I have a 3 year old midrange phone, Samsung A50, the most popular Android phone in 2019. It has 4 GB of ram. I'm still very happy with this phone, everything runs smooth, except EN ! I refuse to switch phones every 3 years, just because developers are to lazy to write native apps..

What Android phone do you have? What's the  memory size?

I tested it again and it works in both Firefox and Chrome on a windows laptop.

My wireless network is disconnected.

I unplug the LAN cable from my computer having already opened the web browser version of EN. I immediately get the EN message that the network is disconnected and that I have to check the connection. Click the New Note button and immediately get the new note which can be fully edit (except adding attachments). I can repeat that for multiple notes and the new notes are added and sorted in the left pane as expected.

When I plug  the LAN cable back, everything is synchronized, the same behaviour as the windows client.

So, the remaining question is, why doesn't it work in your configuration?

• are you testing on a mac or a windows pc?

I presume though that you cannot open a new note if you are already offline.

Yes, you can!

While testing EN Web a bit more now, I noticed that you can edit off-line as well. You can even create a new note. Everything is synchronized properly when reconnected 🙂

You can't add attachments offline (yet). EN Web functionality comes closer and closer to the clients implementation.

From user perspective, this seems to be a logical evolution: why do we need to startup another electron browser instance for every app in our system, which takes an insanely amount of memory  (gigabytes) and other resources?

Also EN Web starts immediately, while the windows client still takes 10-20 seconds...

Sure, any extension is ok. The point is that extensions are impossible in the electron clients, which seems to be a disadvantage

Other plus points of EN Web:

• I can use browser plugins, for instance translate selected text in my note with 'to google translate'
  • browser plugins should be possible in the electron clients as well
• I can initiate a google search on any text in my note with right mouse click -> 'search google for:'

So, the first four lines are still there?

Have you checked the server database with the Web client?  With a bit of luck, it has been saved in the server database and got corrupted in the iphone database?

Android, IPhone ?  

Can you please be a little bit more specific when it dissappeared?  Where you connected at that time?

Which lines are still there? Are these the first lines you typed in your note?

Sure man. Here is what I am looking for : 

I have a Stack with 10 Notebooks. Yes, they all do same Tags.

I want to create a Note in all the Notebooks at once in that Stack (Or) I want create a Note and bulk copy it to all Notebooks in that Stack. 

Either one is fine. 

 

I still don't understand why a note should be duplicated in multiple notebooks, seems to be unmanageable to keep them synchronized all the time, unless it's just some kind of template from where each copy may start it's own life. In that case, the evernote solution is to create a template note which can easily be duplicated in the required notebook the first time you need it.

It would help if you could give a bit more info about the use case. Is it exactly the same note that you would like to duplicate in multiple notebooks?

I still have the feeling that this may be solved by using tags instead of notebooks. By using tags, you can create the notebook hierarchy as you have now, with the big advantage that you never need to duplicate your notes.

But again, without knowledge about your use case, it's difficult to offer useful advice...

I have around 10 Notebooks in a Stack. I want to create a Note in all of them at once. Is there a way to achieve this ?

Also, in case this isn't possible, is it possible to run a Java Script snippet in Web Console to create this bulk action on a stack ?

Please and Thank you

It's not very clear to me if it is  the same note that you would like to duplicate in 10 Notebooks?  In that case, instead of 10 notebooks, you may consider to use 10 tags, all assigned to that same single note...

Personally I wouldn’t call Dark Mode a UI disaster. On legacy we hat heated posts by Windows users asking to get it …

In general EN has some open points in terms of accessibility. I would not generalize it into a UI discussion. The v10 UI is a big leap forward, at least for users who work on several platforms.

With the old clients one could believe to use competing apps when switching platforms.

Sure, I prefer Dark Mode as well, I use it on all my devices! The problem is not the dark theme, but a (dark) grey font on a black background  ("Add tag").

I've attached a screenshot of the webclipper dialogue box. See the part at the bottom there where I can enter tags and notes??? Well, I can't. WHY can't the lettering be WHITE on a dark ground? It's nice graphic design, but not exactly user-friendly!!!

Yes, this is a common problem with GUI 'designers' today, ergonomics is less important than fancy styles...

Just a thought: if EN runs only on flagships with 8 GB of RAM, why do we still need the EN server to process the queries and other stuff on line?  I think the flagships can do this much faster and also much more secure because the data may stay encrypted at the server side al the time.

Or to put it differently: if EN clients do not run on mid-range phones with 4 GB of ram, the whole evernote concept breaks...

Android version 10.36 seems to have faster note creation (again). Let's hope it's permanent now 🙄 .  I also noticed that sync lag, which was already good, further improved substantially 😀

After one week, syncing is still ok, however saving a simple note (a few lines of text)  takes more than one minute again. Restarting the phone didn't help.  EN logout solved the problem this time. Unfortunately, logout removes my offline notes and it takes a week to reload them (3600 notes only)

Anyhow, this proves again that long-term caching is very bad as long as EN for android is buggy and unstable. It would be much better if restarting EN (without logout), would clear all caches and perform a cold start.

Again that can be done with Adobe Acrobat DC you have full PDF Editing abilt.

I don't think this is the problem. Please read the initial post again...

My equivalent process in Windows would simply be to have the main PDF open to select and copy a passage,  then swop windows to a word processor to paste and comment if necessary,  then back to the PDF to rinse and repeat.  Same with emails.

Seems like you're asking Evernote to help you avoid the heavy lifting of swopping focus from one window to another - which it can't (currently) do.

In windows you can do it without any mouse movement: 

Select/copy the passage in the PDF

Switch to the evernote app ( Alt-Tab) and  paste into the note ( CTRL-V  )

Alt-Tab back to the pdf reader again

You can program this behind a shortcut key using AHK (auto hotkey)

Something similar should be possible on a mac, I hope

I've currently set up extra keys on my mouse to copy and paste, so I just have to move my mouse at the end of the note, hit "enter" and the paste key. But I think that's strange that a note taking app doesn't have this time saving shortcut (nor I know other apps having it)

Yeah, but you may save time and effort by just pressing CTR-ALT-V . No extra mouse keys, no D&D or a second screen needed . When finished, you can get your single note by merging the individual notes (without anything in between if you like)

Hi

If I use the shortcut to paste text into evernote, every time a new note is created. Since I'm using evernote to summarize books and papers, it's nonsensical for me. Right now I'm using my iPad as a second display and every time I drag and drop the text to the note. However, it takes me some time and I have to move the mouse (which is uncomfortable for my wrist). There's a way to create a shortcut that simply send the text to the note already open? thank you in advance

AFAIK, this is impossible, but a possible workaround is just paste it in evernote as you already did , no D&D needed.  Then when you're finished you can multi-select all these separate notes and merge them without titles and/or lines in between (advanced settings). This produces a single note as you expected...

I believe that has been the case for awhile but, yes, it is more convenient than going via the settings menu.

Yeah, I know that it already did something, refreshing the screen or so, but I wasn't aware of a full sync...
