Thanks for the report. This is probably related to some recent changes we made to cache pages on the device's disk instead of RAM. @bearND, the tech lead for the Android app, will investigate.

@Etonkovidova actually tested this today and said there were no issues. Feel free to reopen if you're still experiencing this issue with the latest alpha build.

Thank you. I've asked the user who initially reported the problem to test this again (X).

@Deskana I just tried it with dewiki WP:VM page and it happened again, but I don't know whether I have the latest version, my current one is 2015-04-02.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like this is not fixed yet. Reopening.

We're having trouble reproducing this, so we can't do much about it. :-(

@Metrophil44 Can you try this once more with the latest alpha, and see if the problem is persisting?

Yes, the problem is present for 2.0-alpha-2015-04-13. But it looks trickier than I thought. The steps for reproducing the bug are applied only to couple of first edits

  1. Edit a page - Save it
  2. The saved page displays the previous, unedited version of a page.
  3. Perform a search for the same page - the page is displayed with not updated content.
  4. Load the page from History - the page is not updated either.

The same scenario when updates are done on desktop wiki.
Some sort of delayed page caching?

The issue does not happen in 2.0-r-2015-03-23.
