Rob van Vliet 43 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Since I upgraded to Evernote 8.0 I cannot open any note with an attached PDF anymore. I get error: "Note Edit error. Oops! There is a system error. We'll close Evernote now to resolve the problem. If the issue persists, try restarting your device." Restarting the device does not help. I get this on my Nexus 7 2013 running Lineage OS 14 (Android 7.1.2) and my Moto X force running stock Android 7.0. Oddly, my Nexus 9 running Android 7.1.2 and my Chromebook on Android 7.1.1 do not have this problem. Any clues? Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,954 Posted May 28, 2018 Level 5 Share Posted May 28, 2018 FWIW (not much) I just updated to v. 8, and I am able to open notes with PDFs, and open the PDFs themselves, without incident. Link to comment
Rob van Vliet 43 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Went ahead and reinstalled on the two affected devices. That solves the problem. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,954 Posted May 31, 2018 Level 5 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Great to hear! Funny how some bit of dysfunctional code can get stuck and need to be uprooted in this way. Link to comment
profjww 0 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I never received this error message before, but now I am receiving it after upgrading to Evernote 8.2 on my Android tablet. Can you please advise? Thank you! Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,954 Posted August 8, 2018 Level 5 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The solution that worked for the original poster was to uninstall the app and reinstall it. Link to comment
profjww 0 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks! I did that, but still ran into the same problem. Downgrading to 8.1 worked, though. Link to comment

They Call Me Broose 45 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Dave, the only way I know of to downgrade apps is to backup your apps before you upgrade them. Then, if you don't like an update, you can manually reinstall from the backup. All-In-One-Toolbox has an option to archive/backup apps either as you install or update them, or manually at any time. There are probably other apps out that that can do this as well, but this one works without having to be rooted, and it's got some other handy features, too. As far as reverting to a previous version if you haven't backed up your own copy, I think the only safe way to do this is to get a copy from a person who has backups. There are sites out there that offer .apk files, but I'm not sure I'd trust them. Link to comment

I know what it's like to be desperately in need a previous version of an app, but I'd be a little sketched out about downloading one like Evernote. Do you have a way to check to see if it's safe? I think there are some scanners out there to check these files before you install them. For this reason alone, I think Evernote should offer access to previous versions of apps, within reason. Sometimes we do need to revert for various reasons. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,954 Posted August 10, 2018 Level 5 Share Posted August 10, 2018 @profjww and @Galeguin, could the issue perhaps be related to the one in the following thread? (The specific post I'm linking is from an Evernote employee with acknowledgement and a possible temporary solution.) Link to comment

Rob van Vliet 43 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 I still run into this problem occasionally. However, after the note has been fully synced the problem seems to go away. Link to comment
apk download 0 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 my phone also gets the same error, and I have to load a older applications from apk file and have it share website works great Link to comment
Galeguin 11 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hi guys, going back to give you my feedback. Updating android webview seems to resolve the issue. However, I've noted that when I work with some PDF files open from a note (like highlighting and doing some annotations), sometimes I lose the changes. This was very frustatting. My conclusion: going back to 7.17. After six months I will give the dev's work a try. P.S.: I'm using evernote only in mobile devices. If anyone knows what version is more reliable for Android 5.1, please let me know. Link to comment
