Description
This issue respects the following points:
- I have read the FAQ
- I have searched for existing issues
- The issue affects the Notes Android app, neither the Notes server app nor the Nextcloud Android app.
Describe the bug
When I create a note, I often use the date as the first line, for example "Dec 02, 2024", which when using Nextcloud desktop, this first line becomes the title of the note. However when I use the Android Notes app and use this as the first line, it saves it as "New Note (23)" suggesting that this is the 23rd note I've created on my Android phone.
Expected behavior
Save the file as the title in the first sentence of the file, same as Nextcloud web and desktop.

Research direction
Start by reproducing note creation in the Notes Android app with a date as the first line, comparing the resulting title with the reported "New Note (23)" behavior. Trace the note-creation and title-generation flow; done means the saved title uses the first line, consistently with the reported Nextcloud web and desktop behavior.
