[Q] How do I get a log collector

I don't see what I'm looking for when I search so here goes. I'm helping out with a bible app that you can download off line versions for. Only in certain ROM's like SR it reboots instead. They want me to capture the log for it when I go to try download but don't know what to use so I can have it show on my computer. When the phone reboots everything is log of course. Can anyone suggest a program? Thanks

I have that but once the phone locks up I can't access it then it goes into reboot which wipes the log clean. Then all I get is the boot up sequence. I'm hoping someone knows of one that I can use via my usb cord or wifi to my computer that way I can hopefully capture it on the pc instead.
Can't remember off the top of my head, but look into adb commands.

I had thought about that but for some reason the adb shell will lock up my computer after a bit. I think it's a Windows Vista problem there.
Now when I first got my Incredible I had something like an SDK viewer? Darn I'm having one of those senior moments.
You're helping beta test too, eh? I'm Justin over there.
I'm not an Android developer, but would the files in /data/tombstone/ help? You can do an adb pull to get the file. With ddms you can browse and download files, but personally I can't get that to work in recovery...

[q] help required dhd won't start

Hi - I was trying to create a partition on my Sd card using the sdparted method. It gave an error after writing the commands to Shell. After that i rebooted my phone and it won't respond.

I have pulled out the battery reinserted it but still its not functional or responsive. Can any one guide me any fix regarding the same.

Hi Thanks for your response. Latest one. 3.0.0.26
This might and might not..
I would format the sd card, then connect the phone to the PC and flash an ruu file.

People I am really looking forward to your replies over here Kindly help me out =)
Well I am just waiting to get my hands back on the phone and I am thinking of doing the same. Should i remove the SD card during that or i keep it in? I am flashing the RUU 1.32 one. Whats your suggestion?
I would format the sd card, insert it back into the phone and flash an ruu of your choice.
I had an issue where the screen stopped completely responding (wiping, switching roms and restoring the nandroid backup didn't work. I flashed 1.32 that's what I would recommend.

No need to apologize at least you replied. I am worried I am in love with this phone. And it is frustrating me and no body else is there to help me
hi, there...
plug your DHD into your computer and try adb
type
>adb devices
IF your device is listed, then type....
>adb logcat
and paste the message here (upload it on a .txt file) or just paste it here, your choice.
EDIT: does the HTC splash screen appear? (White BG with HTC logo)?, is that where it hangs?

Nope no device is shown
The main concern i have is if the device is dead or has a faulty hardware which it should cuz i just tried to partition the sd card why does it make a connecting sound with the pc when attached without an SD card. It shouldnt. It needs to be worked out.
People I've read some awesome work of you guys here. I am sure you can easily break this issue down i need your attention.
have you tried adb logcat without typing adb devices? (it worked with me once, it didnt show up under devices but logcat worked)
Also, go to 'Device Manager' in windows. Do you get an unrecognized device? or a 'Android USB Device' or something of the sort?
EDIT: leave the sd-card out for now...or format it (not quick format) and put it back in
It is displaying an unrecognized device as QHUSB_DLOAD

[REQ]Soundpool bug fix.

Hello fellow Devs!
I have noticed a particular bug with this device, and only this device. A bug with the soundpool causes many apps to randomly crash (but without an FC). I'd like to post this in hopes some dev with knowledge on this would be willing to jump on this. I'm not very knowledgeable with it, but I do wish to help in any way possible!
If anyone has a logcat of the crash occuring, please pastebin it and we'll see if we can get anything fixed with it. How do you capture logcats? Either installed alogcat on your phone, OR plug your phone into a PC with SDK installed, open up CMD and type; (Make sure USB debugging is enabled)
adb devices
adb logcat > Logcat1.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This script will save the logcat in "Logcat1.txt" on your computer, to find it, you can simply search for it after pressing Start on windows.
Currently, apps that crash with soundpool bugs are;
Gameboid
GBCoid
(will update list as we are informed.)
To mods, if this is in the wrong place, let me know! I didn't feel it was necessary in the apps section since it's more of a device issue, instead of an app issue.

Galaxy nexus alarm/clock causes shut downs

I was getting random shut downs, I was googling and most of the things posted didn't apply to me, so I decided to view a logcat, seeing what it showed when it randomly shut down. How do I fix this problem? I'll include a logcat as soon as I get another one, I forgot to save it
Edit: last_kmsg here
Edit 2: last_kmsg removed, it was taken after a batt pull
Edit 3: Newer kmsg
Edit 4: Said reboot instead of shut down... facepalm

Is it a shutdown or is it a hard reboot? I'm suspecting hard reboot.
A logcat is about as much use as a chocolate teapot for hard reboots generally.
And what on earth did you extract it with? It's got a crazy amount of line spacings and is unreadable.
Best thing for reboots is the output of:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg

maybe you have some corrupt data in there.. did you restore the clock(system app) with titanium backup? anyways, go to the phones main settings, apps, all, clock.. then clear its data. reset your alarms and see if you reboot again.
this was more like a hard shut down than a hard reset, my gnex isn't rooted, brand new out of box and this happens. Factory resets also cause me to shut down. I'll do the thing thalamus said first, after rooting.
edit: I might send this to the repair center
all they will so is reflash the stock img, and you can do that.
What does mmcblk0boot1: unknown partition table and mmcblk0boot0: unknown partition table mean? Does it mean I have to format those two?
edit: I think I found the problem. In both of these, they have problems involving 's6e8aa' On my good galaxy nexus, it doesn't show 's6e8aa' in the last_kmsg, but it shows in the dmesg. The problem is I don't know what 's6e8aa' is, I think i'm going to send it to the repair center, thanks!
I have found out that, when the sim card is inserted, the phone will randomly shut down, if it is simcardless, it stays on fine

[Q] Logcat any way preferred over another?

Well I have a question to our devs. Is there any one way to logcat that is preferred over another? I never have done logcat to determine issues for our device and I would like to start. I know there are a couple apps on the play store that are useful like aLogcat or Catlog. I know its best to use adb and even run the command in terminal emulator.
There is a great guide here that I've been referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238
And DONT forget to thank paxChristos for the guide.
In short I want to logcat to help out our devs as much as possible so is there any requirements that you like to see for a logcat? Should I/we try and duplicate the issue a certain amount of times while doing the logcat? Any feedback would be useful.
Thanks to everyone who makes these devices we have just that much better. And keep up the great work.:thumbup::thumbup:
Adb is always the best and easiest way. Always be sure to use -v long when logcatting as it's makes our lives 10 times more easier. Personal favorite log cat guide is this

ADB is a great way to do it. The two guides stated above should help teach you how to logat.

For some reason i can not get my device to connect to adb, Ive never had this problem before and my my old G2x connects just fine. Ive uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled with no luck. Also went as far back as uninstalling the drivers and odin back to stock to try and have them reinstalledwith no luck. Any ideas?

Try installing the regular ADB drivers then. I linked a Google search for "Samsung adb drivers".
Damn still can not connect, I've tried to uninstall Google USB driver and Samsung USB drivers and they uninstall and install just fine witj a reboot in between of course but phone is still not connected. I'm my device manager on the PC under other devices it shows 4 android devices all with yellow caution signs.
Now my G2x won't show either lol Going to try and completely remove ADB and reinstall and see what happens.

If using Windows you must run the command prompt [cmd] as an admin be sure to do the following in Win 7:
click start type cmd in the white box and wait as it searches. When it lists cmd in that list now right click and choose run as admin.
Also you need to enable developer options [go to settings about device and tap the build ID like 7 times [as you tap it, it should count down after the first couple taps once you hit it enough it will say you have enabled developer options if you don't see them in settings already]
Be sure to hit the on off switch in upper right of window when you first tap developer options if the options are greyed out and don't let you change anything
Now in developer options be sure to go to the option where it says enable root access and be sure it says apps AND ADB if it says apps only tap that and change it to Apps and ADB.
Now try again
BTW I love CatLog it has a home screen widget that can start / stop recording for you] so if you know how to produce the problem go to home screen tap the widget go through the steps until the error occurs go back to home screen tap widget again and it stops then look in /sdcard/catlog/ and it will have text files named with the date and time and that will be the entire log cat that happened between the time you started and stopped the recording of your actions.
