Hello,

I am running the desktop software on Windows 11 Pro version 21H2 and the mobile app on Android Oxygen 11.1.2.2 on a OnePlus 6 phone. Desktop install as follows:

Joplin 2.7.14 (prod, win32)

Client ID: b756202410c4457a80d0d73e2f933bb9  
Sync Version: 3  
Profile Version: 41  
Keychain Supported: Yes

Revision: 75cc9d7

Notes are correctly synching between desktop and phone but notebooks titles will not sync. Support recommended editing notebook titles then post on here if it still fails, so here I am.

I originally used Dropbox, then switched to Joplin Cloud hoping that would fix it but the error remains. Android app log attached.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

The titles are not being updated because the sync operation doesn't complete (as indicated by the "Could not refresh lock - cancelling" message). This issue can happen when the device or connection is particularly slow. You might have more luck if you run the sync and leave your device on (without the screen going off) until the end of the sync operation.

This appears to have solved it. Thanks for your help.
