Notes app not starting with evernote account (indefinitely spinning circle)

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Meizu MX4, OTA-8.5

Since today, the notes app does not start. It hangs with the circle spinning indefinitely.
Recreating the evernote account does not help.

Update: The app works fine with the local notebook. But it hangs indefinitely when trying to use the evernote account. So it is likely that evernote sync is broken.

I have the same problem but on the Nexus 7 LTE (r415 in devel-proposed)

Same problem BQ 4.5 Ubuntu edition

It looks that this bug is independent from hardware.

After a few weeks of using the app synced with Evernote without issue, I experienced this problem all of a sudden after switching between the app and another. The app hung on a screen showing half of the new-note pull-up. After that, it would not start unless I removed my Evernote account and just used local notes.

Uninstalling the app, deleting the ~/.local/share/com.ubuntu.reminders/ directory, re-installing, and re-authenticating Evernote fixed the issue for me (for now). On Nexus 4 (OTA 9), app version 0.5.472.

@marcinkowski: Thanks for noting the workaround. It fixed the problem for me, too. (It's enough to remove the subdirectory for your evernote account -- in case you want to keep local notes.)

I might have a clue what's going on with this issue. In order to confirm, can someone suffering from this issue please paste the output of:

ls ~/.local/share/com.ubuntu.reminders/<accountname>

replace <accountname> with your evernote username.

Thanks a lot.
