Our recently released Evernote 3.5 Beta just got a nice update. For existing Evernote users, we now allow you to automatically copy your 3.1 note database—so you won’t need to sync everything down from our servers on first use. There are also a bunch of great optimizations and improvements all around.

What’s new
- Synchronization is improved, it is now both faster and more memory efficient
- Existing users can copy their Evernote 3.1 database into the 3.5 client during installation

Work in progress
We are aware of (and working through) some problems in the current Beta:
- Graphics and text may appear blurry in some monitor configurations
- The Firefox clipper is currently unsupported, and does not clip into 3.5 on the desktop
- Note text encryption and decryption behaves inconsistently
- Note editing format display is not always up-to-date
- Menus do not always disable properly to reflect context

So far 3.5 is a disappointment for me functionwise. Yeah, it has a nice layout but,
- Starting maximized is annoying
- Not being able to select what to capture on screen is annoying
- 50% of the time Evernote doesn’t recover correctly from standby on W7
- German translation is terrible and incomplete
- new “untitled” Notes make it more effort to enter Notes, why not use the first line?
Please, add usability back and then update the design. If 3.5 stays as it is now, I’m gone for good.

Agreed on the point about Windows 7; every time I resume from standby Evernote has a completely blank screen, I have to kill it and restart it.
Jason
Same Problem as BMC, black screen when resuming from standby on W7

Had to uninstall. Went in for the first time in two months. it upgraded to the latest version, and now I get blacked out areas of the screen and crashes.

I suffer from the same problem.
black screen when resuming from standby on WindowsVista.
I’m using ThinkPad.
Jim
Me too on the black screen, please fix.
Jonathon
I also get the black screen
David
I get the black screen resuming on XP. Any solutions?
macbirdie
I have the black screen after resume problem as well.
JCM
I get the black screen after resuming from standby on both a Win 7 and XP machine.
Alan
Black screen for me too, on resume from standby. Windows XP on a Thinkpad R60. Sometimes it recovers, usually not.
Alan
Further to my last note, I can make the app recover from blackness by right-clicking the Evernote tray icon, choosing Exit and then Cancel to the confirmation prompt. Perhaps other tray icon actions will work also.

I also get black screen on resume as seems so many others. Is that something that can be fixed or do we need to live with it? I don’t see any response or remedy from Evernote…

I guess misery loves company. So I guess I’m not the only one who’s getting the black screen after standby. Its a shame, I love how well this program works with both my phone and my laptop. Hopefully they fix this bug soon
Koen
I have this issue too (v 3.5.5.2672 94533) and I too hope they fix this soon
K
Same here. Black screen after standby on v 3.5.6.2757 96100

Still getting Black Screen running windows 7 and the latest version of Evernote. There’s no way to resume without killing the application and restarting it.
I see this is been happening to folks for well over a year. My suggestion is to get this prioritized and fixed soon as I am seriously considering moving my company to another more stable product.

I used to have the black screen problem on resume from standby but now I can’t even get Evernote to start up cleanly at all – just puts up a blanks window no matter what. I’m using Win7 x64 and Evernote 3.5.6.2848. I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted my database – nothing I do makes Evernote behave. I’m only able to use the web version now.
Evernote developers – are you out there?
Cambridge
Thought I’d chime in since I’m also having black screen after waking up from standby – can’t close evernote it when this happens either.
I’m running Windows XP sp3 on one PC and Vista on a laptop.
I like evenote so far but this is a bit annoying so hope it can be resolved.
Thanks

Same thing here. Also occurred this morning when I logged in locally to a computer that I had RDP’ed into last night.

After Windows Startup, Evernote is always started and maximized on my screen. Very annoying, and I can’t figure out how to remedy it.
