error syncing notes to phone

Post by johncesta »

Using the syncmethod to PC windows.

Notes is the problem. In the past I experienced this and was told to do a synchronize databases. So I did and it fixed it.

Now it's back. I was told it would never come back. This is indicative of the unreliability of syncing with epim.

I have the exact same problem for weeks now. Every time it occurs i make a new database and sync to get rid of the problem. After adding a note the next day and sync EPIM with Android the problem is back. This is really hindering my use of EPIM and the solution to make a new database is not future proof.

Today i decided to completely remove my Android app and install it again in the hope that the problem will be fixed. In the process i found another bug. After installing a fresh copy of EPIM Android i went to settings to recover my back-ups from the previous version. It is not possible to select back-ups that were made with a previous version of EPIM. After choosing Search i can only see back-up files that are made with the current version (so that's an empty database that was installed a few minutes ago..) I don't think it is right that we can't recover (password protected) back-up files when we install a new instance of EPIM Android?

Another important bug: when fingerprint login is on for my password module on Android EPIM, i can't cancel it to go to text input. So when my finger is dirty, i can't access my passwords.

These are 3 major issues that have been here since 10.0.0.

First issue. We need the log file.
Second issue. We're aware of it, will be fixed in the next version.
Third issue. You can always unlock the passwords module with a password, as well.

1st: Will send if my latest soultion won't work. But by now you probably have some logs related to this issue. Is this a general bug that can be fixed in a new version?
2nd: thanks
3rd: on my phone the text input field gets grayed out by a fingerprint layover screen. Not a problem if i could cancel the fingerprint option, but i cannot. When i click cancel, i'm getting asked again to log in via fingerprint.

3. Could you please make a screenshot about how it looks like on your side?

There's the 6.0 Beta 3 version currently available, which soon should be out of the Beta testing phase.
