Samsung Galaxy Tab Memos App Google Docs Desync

Don’t press us about this app, a more troubled one than most we know. This particular problem is just the most fun to highlight. The Memos app that comes pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy tablet seems to synchronize up to Google Docs okay. But then when it syncs back down—let’s say you didn’t change any memos, or even touch them—it doesn’t normalize newline character sequences, so it thinks all the memos changed in Google Docs. That causes it to update all the memos (which you didn’t change, as noted) down to the character. This removes all the newlines, no doubt discarded as unallowed, so say good-bye to any paragraphs you created; they’re all run-ons now.
