Typing/syncing issues

[APurohit]

Hello,

Just installed the latest version, and am having all kinds of problems
with it.

1) If I enter an existing note, and go to edit it, no matter where the
cursor is, if I try to type I get weird behavior as follows:
a) Sometimes it won't actually type anything
b) Sometimes it will bring my cursor to the first line, and overwrite
the entire line... using enter repeatedly to make space brings the
cursor down, but deletes lines sometimes... and when I start typing,
it brings me back to the top
c) Sometimes, if I press delete, nothing seems to happen... other
times it will add characters that I'm not even touching.

2) With syncing, I get weird behavior as well: When I create and exit
from a new document, it shows the purple bar on the side... indicating
the document is different from what's online. After autosyncing, it
will turn light-blue... but if I go to my docs webpage, the document
is NOT always updated. If I go into the doc again, do nothing, then
come out, it turns purple again. Sometimes this will cause another
resync, and THEN my changes are on the Gdocs server...

I am using a Motorola Droid (original) and a custom ROM. I am also
using Switfkey keyboard. The keyboard works fine everywhere else. Even
switching to the GB keyboard doesn't fix this behavior (in #1 above).
What's going on here?!

Hi,

Not sure if you know that Gdocs has never really worked well. Always issues and I have a HTC EVO.  I believe everyone switched over to Google docs from the market place which all and all is a much better program to sync with Google.  I hope this helps.

thanks for that tip, I'm not versed in doing a ton of research on my android apps and it saves me time to know there's a better alternative than the obvious one.

You mean the actual official Google version of Google Docs on the
Android? Has it improved *drastically* in the last few months?,
because the last time I used it it couldn't even do offline editing;
it had to have a net connection to work at all.

GDocs just stopped syncing for me, but until that it was perfect. ;'(

Yep, just checked, the Google version still has no offline function.
Pointless.

A-ha! Running that version made GDocs sync again. Yay.

Hi,
I would still jump to Google docs (regardless of needing a connection) the program as a whole is better.  The way it is arranged, categories, not just documents but photos etc... Hopefully, sometime soon Google gets it to cache  off-line.

I'm glad that's sufficient for you; for me it's
terrible/unacceptable.

Having said that, I just burned $3 on Mobisle Notes, and it appears
to work really well. Auto-syncs on exit and everything.
