I was getting a “File not found” error when opening a vault and Obsidian Mobile would hang and never load the vault.
Found the cause: some of my .md files had a “%” symbol in the filename. These weren’t causing a problem on Obsidian Desktop for Windows, but Obsidian for Android choked on them.
FWIW I’m using a third-party sync app called DriveSync. My vault is in Google Drive.
Thanks for reporting. Upon further testing, I think there is a problem on our end. Both # and % are allowed on android. Be aware that if you use # in filepath linking doesn’t work well but that is another story.
Here is a screenshot of the error I was getting in case it’s helpful. It would hang here on my Moto G Stylus and the purple buttons wouldn’t do anything, although the purple progress bar animation was still moving.
On linux you can have a file with ?. On android you can’t, try to create one with any app.
Whatever you are using for sync from linux to android, should skip (or rename) that file.
On Android, you can have files with % and # and we need to handle those better.
