Guys,
Here's a problem that has me confused ~ With the exception of Evernote, no matter what Notes app I use if I open a large document file and select all the typed content then copy to the Clip-Tray, if I then go to any other notes app and select paste, only the top half of the notes in the doc file get pasted.
However, if I do the same in Evernote, all the docs notes get copied across!
It would appear this problem is isolated to my G3 because if I try and do the exact same on a different phone, the entire doc and all it's notes gets copied and pasted across.
Any ideas why there is this limitation?
P.S. I can't use Evernote because this particular doc has a lot of passwords. As such I need to use a secure notes app (which I have 'msecure' and have tried the same with others).
Further confusing ~ Even with only half the typed notes copied and pasted, if I then try to edit and type in the missing notes, although the keyboard pops up and I can type, however nothing gets added to the file.
Basically you can happily type as much as you want but nothing is added on screen or in the doc file.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone........ Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts.
I tried installing another notes app and same thing happens, I load a notes file into it but I can't add any more text to the file.
So no one has any ideas or thoughts on the subject?
Ended up getting blocked out of my Action Memos by Samsung on my Note 4. I have all the notes, just can't get them to show up on my Note 4. Here's where the help part begins.
1. Need someone who uses AM and doesn't export to S Note or through Evernote to look and tell me where the Action Memos normally live on the Note 4 - where on the internal SD. You can even just do a test note, then open the memo app, not S Note. Then confirm location on internal SD. Need the path/name.
2. If this can't be resolved any other way, my thinking is that if I do a factory reset I'd have to setup my Sammy account again and the Memos will show that way. Thoughts? It's buggered because of an Evernote prompt.
Any ideas or help always appreciated. Still working on it here. If I find a fix other than FR I'll post it.

I didnt choose export to Snote when saving and when i set up the account, i didnt choose evernote, i chose samsung, not evernote(the only two options) and it still saves them to MainStorage/SNoteData/ActionMemo
And to get them to show up i still had to long press the home screen for widgets, scroll down to SNote and choose the second one with the previous saved notes. Id just move the notes from their location to Internal/SNoteData/ActionMemo and theyll be accessible via the SNote widget.
_____
I tried using the MyFiles instead of my File Explorer, and If youre on Internal, theyll show up the Documents section and its the same one thats in the ActionMemo folder and i was able to view it without needing the SNote widget.
You might have to go that route to manually put them in the ActionMemo folder and use the MyFiles default explorer, open up documents and the memos will open on your home screen. Hope that helps.

Thanks. Here's what I know and what I've done.
1. I put them in the S Note folder for Actionmemo but they still won't show.
2. I put them in the Actionmemo folder on the main and same as above **Are you saying it should be ActionMemo and not Actionmemo?
3. What I'm trying to accomplish is have them open through the Action Memo app so that technically they are still editable, but they aren't showing either place.
4. Tried to setup the widget and can't. I'm using Apex Launcher. **What launcher do you use?
5. I can see the jpgs on dropbox, internal SD and anywhere else I have them, just can't "use" them with S pen.
6. The fix for the update worked great until I hooked up to Smart Switch to get the Action Memos onto my Note 4. It saw I was without the update and tried to slam me. Won't be doing that again. Nag is still gone on phone. I think it tried to slam me with 5.1.1 because the 5.0 nag was gone. Learning experience.
Off topic - downloaded the modem file tonight. Thanks.

When you look at the files in MyFiles, are the extensions .spd?

Always have and always will use Holo Launcher. It works the best for me and my preferred 387 dpi settings with 0.5 animation scale.
It allows all permissions when using any widget and works well with shortcuts too(which i never use)
If you saw a 0/100 at the end of the download progress on the far right, that was just samsung app updating, not the android system. lol
Ive never used action memo, and when i clicked save(didnt click export to Snote at the bottom right), it still saves them to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo(Done with a 3rd party File Explorer, which you need if you dont already have one). Youll see the files there but you cant open them within the FileExplorer you donwloaded to see path locations and later use root priveleges when you decide to root.
After moving your old notes to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo... Then go to the default File Explorer(MyFiles) Go to Documents, and youll see all your notes/memos and be able to open them up and have them appear on the home screen as if you just got done making them and were about to save them for the first time.

Yes, and theyre able to be opened as well, no SNote involved.

Because of what Sammy did to me with the Evernote thing, when I go to File Explorer(MyFiles), Go to Documents, I see everything spd, but it's only the files I manually sent to SNote from Action Memo. I have over 130 memos and no way I want to manually export those puppies. But the extension is spd. That was a big help. Thanks.
I wonder if it's possible to take a backup of the files - already done - and then change the jpg to spd (via a batch file or something like that)? Then they would all show properly. They're in the right place, but Sammy locked me out of them in favor of Evernote. I don't use Evernote because they're not editable.

So using the info you gave me about MyFiles on Note 4, I did a search for spd and found all of the files, not jpgs but qspd, on my Note 3. I'm going to try exporting those tomorrow and see if I can lick this situation short term.
Thanks once again, my friend. :good: Off to let my brain mull this one over.

de nada, mi amigo. If that doesnt work, you can always try putting your SPen in Backwards and see if that gives you backwards compatibility to the note 3 files. LMAO.

Holy #%$& it worked! I did a batch rename on my laptop from cmd promt. Uploaded the files to my N4 and they still didn't show (could be too impatient). Renamed file title to format of early test notes only on N4 and refreshed. It showed up in Action memo! I'm going to give it a wait to see if the rest show up, or in fact have to be renamed to "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo".
:victory::victory::victory::victory:
Once again persistence and determination pays off.

You do need to change name from "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo", that along with the extension rename from "qspd" to "spd" are key. They will load without the first change, but still won't show. And don't forget to include the jpg for each file when you put them in Primary/SnoteData/Action memo.
This will make it possible to copy my notes from my Note 10.1 now. :good:
Anyone else have this same issue? I've flashed the official 8.1 image 5 times today, and as of yet, it only syncs about half of my contacts. And it seems it's totally random. Also, my favorites in the Phone app are now blank, there are none shown.
Something is broken in the new 8.1 release that the latest 8.1 DevPreview had working. Looks like I'm going back to the 8.1 DevPreview for now. I can't afford to be without my contacts for work.
UPDATE: Oh, great. Now it's happening on 8.1 DP2 as well. ****. That's not good. I can look in gmail on the PC, and all my contacts are still there, so that's good at least. But I need them on the phone.
OK, so a temporary fix is lengthy, but is as follows:
1: Go to contacts.google.com and EXPORT ALL of your contacts to a CSV file. Save it somewhere, make copies, whatever.
2: Open that file in Google Docs Sheets
3: Remove ALL links to google plus and websites (just those two, the ones with a chain link icon)
4: Remove ALL "relationship" entries
5: Save to your PC with a NEW NAME
6: Go back to contacts.google.com, and DELETE ALL CONTACTS
7: Hit "Sync now" on your phone (there should be no contacts there)
8: IMPORT the NEW CSV (from Sheets) into the contacts on contacts.google.com (old version of contacts online imports, new version doesn't. It'll tell you that)
9: Go back to your phone and hit "Sync now" again
10: All your contacts should start filling in again. Some won't have their pictures because they pulled from G+.
Yeah, like I said, it's LONG, but it works. This is only temporary, until Google gets their stuff together.
As long as you keep that original CSV file, you can reimport all your original contacts when the time comes, G+ links, relationship entries, and everything.
ONLY EDIT THE COPY, NEVER THE ORIGINAL
+1 for me to, but on nexus 6P. a return to 8.0, 8.1 dp1, dp2, did not help
Same here. It's happening on Nexus 5X running on final Android 8.1 build too. Tried factory resetting the phone and syncing again but no help.
So it's Googles server side sync client. Great. As of this morning, it's still broken (looking in the Account Sync section in Settings). Hitting "Sync now" syncs everything other than contacts, which is still bugged out.
I'll stop saying SYNC now.
I reached out the Google support yesterday since a lot of my automation and DND depends on having Contacts synced correctly. They were clueless that something is broken on their side. However, the support person (from Pixel support) tried her best to help resolve the issue by going way beyond her domain.
In short, this is something we just have to wait and hope it gets resolved soon. Avoid making too many changes to your contacts and create lot more merge conflicts between your phone and Google servers.
+1
This is also happening to me after a clean install of 8.1 factory image on my Pixel 2.
Had issues with my 8.1 install on my Pixel 2 XL, reverted back to 8.0 and also experiencing contact sync issues. Sync works fine to my work iPhone, but not to my Android. Go figure.
Thanks all for confirmation it's not just us Pixel 1 (non-XL) users. A couple of us have "lost" our wives. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74756880&postcount=24
@xdabbeb brought up a good point, I had noticed too but I forgot about. In Settings/Accounts (or whatever it's called now)/Google you can see an exclamation point beside the syncing Contacts. So the phone does know it's having a problem syncing.

1: Go to contacts.google.com and EXPORT ALL of your contacts to a CSV file. Save it somewhere, make copies, whatever.

Hey! I just added you to my contacts so you can PM me now. I used to live right near your location, just a tiny little further south off of 23 (West Kanawha). Right now I'm in Bexley but I'd like to move closer to my wife's or my own work (Dublin or Marysville).

I saved all contacts from contacts.google.com as vcf file. Deleted all the contacts on that page. Then, via Google Contacts app on the phone, imported as a vcf file and all contacts have appeared. (BTW, the Google Contacts app only gave the option to import from vcf file or from SIM card).
Thanks so much for your input and ideas.

Delete the link for that fix.
The prior missing contacts have disappeared after the vcf file import. However, the one contact I deleted from contacts.google.com page and then added via Google Contacts app on the phone did not disappear from the app.
Also, the sync exclamation thingy has disappeared for me; now it appears to sync normally. Of course, excluding the issue with missing contacts.

Done, thanks! I think the exclamation is hit and miss. Keep that VCF!
The VCF solution did not work for me. Clearing the two website columns of their contents in the CSV and re-importing that did work for me though.
Thanks for the tips!

Stock Google Contacts app. Did the import in the web version however. So my process was as follows:
1. Export My Contacts as CSV
2. Clear all contacts currently in profile and verify the empty contact list appears on the phone.
3. Clear the 2 website related columns of their data (except the header)
4. Re-import modified CSV in the web interface
5. Re-synced successfully.
