Logcat

Taking logs for bug reports

On your device

Note: This method requires that your device is rooted

These instructions will generate a logcat on your sdcard which you can then attach to a bug report on JIRA.

Open the Terminal app (you can turn it on in Developer Options)
Type su and confirm root access - you may have to turn on root access for apps in Developer options.
Type logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcat.txt '*:V'. This will save your log to /sdcard/logcat.txt.
- Alternatively, the radio buffer can be viewed with logcat -b radio.

With a computer

Note: This method requires that you have adb installed. If you don’t have it installed, please do that before continuing.

Open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/macOS)
Type adb logcat -d '*:V' > logcat.txt. This will save your log to logcat.txt.
- Alternatively, the radio buffer can be viewed with logcat -b radio.
