Auto tittle bring a new dynamic solution for us,which gives title note on the content. Google is continuously updating its Android phone so that it could compete with Apple iphone.

Please no more auto titles. I don’t need to have my all day notes from any of my many calendars show up in evernote ever. untitled note and time stamp worked GREAT for me. this is making me not use the phone for quick audio notes which is one of the biggest reasons for even using evernote. Don’t make me go back to MS OneNote please!!!! someone? anyone? come in Houston, come in… just give us a check mark to turn the auto titles off in the settings somewhere… please… oh please….

Auto Title – my auto title only ever shows the city & state. But it always has the wrong city. Google maps shows my exact correct location, so i am not sure where Evernote is pulling the location information from.

I would like to be able to edit the location information, such as correcting the city. I would like to be able to have it default to the date and time.

Yes, again – date and time as the default title would be so much more useful – particularly when using the Android app. On my phone I get ‘note@Banbury’ as the title and this is no use at all. Certainly, the nearest town to where I live is Banbury but it is several miles away – and irrelevant.
As a new user I am finding that there is so much that is brilliant about Evernote but this could certainly be better.

Yes, I agree with above poster.. I wish there was a way to turn off the auto-titles. It is infuriating to have have every note begin with what’s in my calendar for that day, for example “Note from: Urinary Tract Infection” enough said!

I hate auto titles.
I’m posting this here as well as on Evernote’s forums because i care. I know my particular case is unique, but i also know my opinion isn’t. In my case, i use evernote audio notes extensively for documenting epileptic seizure activity. Previously, the note would have been titled simply with the date and time. Perfect. If i can’t talk after a seizure (more often than not) simply creating the note will give me a timestamp, which is essential. Now, though, the autotitles are completely useless, and will ultimately be replaced manually with exactly what was previously automatic. Thankfully i can (read:have to) look at the *.amr’s file name to retreive the timestamp & rename the note. Kludgy and a significant reduction in ease of use. I had seven seizures yesterday – renaming these notes via a somewhat cryptic filename is now required, hence making these auto titles a deal-breaker if they stay.

How hard could it possibly be to make this “feature” an option, and why in god’s name wasn’t it an option to begin with ?

I need a way to use the previous autotitling, now all notes from a day have the same title which is not good. A settings option to let us pick which way it works would be great! Also, how do I change a auto title from android?

Can an option for auto-titling to be disabled be included please? It is annoying, bordering on infuriating because I do not appreciate EVERY note I create on someone’s birthday being titled as a note from their birthday. This intrusive feature means I am now forced to create a title for every note I create, including such astounding and important tasks as “get milk and eggs”. At this rate I’m just going to end up making the title the note itself.

I’m hoping that one of the next efforts will be to make Evernote for Android behave a lot more like Evernote for PC, where changes can be automatically saved whenever the application state changes – for example, in Evernote for PC, if you jump from one note to the next, the changes in the prior note are saved.

I use Evernote on the PC, as well as on my Android phone and tablet – and while I’m more likely to keep an Evernote session on the phone brief, this is not as likely to be the case for the tablet – for example, I’d like to be able to take extensive notes during a conference using the tablet as the conference is ongoing. What I’ve found is that it’s far too easy to lose changes on the tablet, if you change applications, or want to refer to another document or application, the editing session closes and the changes are lost.

Ultimately, I don’t really want a “done editing” button on my Android tablet, I just want it to save automatically whenever I leave that pane, the way it works on a PC.

Otherwise, I’m absolutely loving Evernote, it has been a lifesaver for me toward getting away from paper-based notes.
