Yes, the system log. You can view it with the logcat command on the command line. Or install a logcat app.

how do I debug app on customers phone

I understand now that logcat requires root for Android 4.1+ is that right?
I would like some way to debug my app on someone's phone remotely, in the past I have got them to install alogcat and send me the output, but since I've upgraded to 4.1 I've never got it to work.
Whats the best technique to obtain syslog logcat data when my app fails, the data which I see on the play store isn't enough detail for me to resolve or identify the problem.
1 user is getting this error:
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint

as far as I know no-one else is seeing this issue,
They have google maps installed but I don't know what else to check other that get access to the logcat from there phone.
thanks
They can still download the Android SDK and then type
Code:
adb shell
logcat
I was hoping an easier method would be available.
you can ask them to mail you dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz from /data/log/ .I think astro can copy that to sdcard.Or else you could run
Code:
pull /data/log/dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz /sdcard
from any terminal app to copy that to sdcard.

Isn't root required for that?

Nope...data is mounted as RW by default and more over you need root only to write to a partition mounted as R(users should also be considered).You can even copy system files with astro without root. But Its been so long since I did that and don't know how it has changed with 4.1 and 4.2.But no harm in trying

In 4.x you need root to access the logs from an app so I do not think that this is possible.
On 2.3 when my phone was not rooted I was not able to access /data at all.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.delta.Info .This app targets 4.0-4.2 and it mails the same file without root.So it will work.

It does need root. Well, every app can get logs the old way and they will get logs, but just those logs with the user id of the app. No more logs.
Just one more thing I could think of: Maybe the developer of the ROM changed that code in the Android sources of his ROM.
Or when the app is installed, the ROM automatically runs that command:
Code:
pm grant com.delta.Info android.permission.READ_LOGS
I will test it on my phone and tell you the result. If it does not work, it is a feature of the ROM.

FYI I'm the dev of the app .And there is no root,no extra permissions,Rom is not modded (except for a file which needs for the app to work.But it doesnt have any relation with logs).
If you still have doubt,Just create an email indent with the log file in /data/log as an extra data in Async task and try

For me it said "Could not send attachment."
My code:
Code:
Intent mailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
mailIntent.setType("text/plain");
mailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:[email protected]"));
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "test");

mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File("/data/log/dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz")));
mailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mailIntent, "Send via"));
(Of course, I changed the mail address.)

I simply use the logcat feature of android to get the URL of an OTA update
Open a command prompt and use these two commands to clear the log and then dump the log to your PC and simply look (search) for any http:// in the log
I simply use.
adb logcat -c
followed by
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
to learn more read below
1. When you get prompted to download an update on your Android device, immediately plug your phone into a computer.
2. From that computer, open a command prompt, type “adb logcat” and hit enter. (On a Mac it’s “./adb logcat”)
3. The command prompt will then begin to spit out information from your phone.
4. Feel free to then tap the “Download” button on the update from your phone.
5. Once the download starts, you will be able to find the URL of the file that is downloading in the logcat.
6. You can do a handful of things now to find it-

To better use the "adb logcat" command, we need to look at its options:
"adb logcat -b <buffer>" - Loads an alternate log buffer for viewing, such as event or radio. The main buffer is used by default. There are log buffers on the Android system: "main", "events", and "radio". The default buffer is "main".
"adb logcat -c" - Clears (flushes) the entire log and exits.
"adb logcat -d" - Dumps the log to the screen and exits.
"adb logcat -f <filename>" - Writes log message output to a file. The default is the "stdout - Standard Output".
"adb logcat -g" - Prints the size of the specified log buffer and exits.
"adb logcat -n <count>" - Sets the maximum number of rotated logs to <count>. The default value is 4. Requires the -r option.
"adb logcat -r <kbytes>" - Rotates the log file every <kbytes> of output. The default value is 16. Requires the -f option.
"adb logcat -s" - Sets the default filter spec to silent.
"adb logcat -v <format>" - Sets the output format for log messages. The default is brief format.

Diagnosing Crashing Apps

So I have an app that I use and quite often and it crashes for seemingly no reason quite often. I have contacted the dev on these apps and they claim it's always on my end and the app is coded properly.
In order to validate these claims I need to be able to see why they are crashing. Is there any app or tool I can use to get a quick read out as to why the app crashed?
Thanks.

They won't. That's why I'm asking here.
@PieOfJustice
Well if the developer is not willing to help how do you plan on fixing it?
in your fastboot / adb folder
create a new txt and name it Runlogcat.bat
open the empty file and paste
Code:
ECHO @
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
I also use another bat file called clearlogcat.bat so the log is not so long
create it the same way
Code:
ECHO @
adb logcat -c
the idea is to clear the log and then crash the app then take the log to see what the errors were

Tried both stock and custom. Same thing. I am back to using AOSiP.

It's been a while. HELP!!

Okay guys first off sorry if there's a thread for this but XDA has become so over crowded and full of comments it's just to much to read through and try to remember. But anyway
Can anyone point me in the right direction or simply explain real quick how to properly root the T-Mobile variant. I'm running full stock (Obviously) I'm on H91810j and would like to debloat a little and use greenify. Any help is appreciated.

There is literally speaking a thread dedicated just for the sake of rooting and twrp lol. Here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
It should take about 3 to 5 minutes to complete the whole process if you know what you are doing. If you are a noob it might take sometime to figure out were to go from one step to another
Also, just remember, there is a search function on the v20 section's main screen. You can always use keywords and the function will search what you are looking for (if someone has posted something related to That). As French prople says... "Bon chance|"
P.s: yes. The rooting method by jcadduono works for 10j

Wait. I forgot to tell you. You cant double click the files. The files can be accessed only by using cmd. (command promt). So, extract the files into a folder, and use cd or pushd in dorect it to the directory where the files are. That is the proper way.

For starter... Whats the directory where you downloaded and extracted adb fastboot? Assuming you are using the file i sent you. Was it on the downloads directory? If so open cmd (not in administratibe mode) and type pushd Downloads . Then ise all the start the adb server by using adb start-server to recognize your device. Or if you want to even see if your device is even present type adb devices

You could use the desktop but it is more troublesome to type the directory. Thats why i suggest to put it on the downloads folder and asked you to not start the cmd as administrative. Because when you dont start it as administrative, cmd will start right from the users folder and then is only a matter of writting pushd Downloads. Focus on the first part first. Otherwise you will go nowhere lol.

Okay I got into the download folder using cmd (pushd download) i tried doing adb and hitting enter after and it brought up a bunch of lines after that. I did adb devices and it shows my phone but when I do fastboot oem unlock it just hangs at waiting for devices. USB debugging is on and so is OEM unlock.

but are you in fastboot mode now? because after you have done the OEM unlock and then after that use usb debbugging then accept the prompt it shows about giving authorization to your computer, then after that you must go to fastboot mode to start the process of root

Hello,
This won't help in case you want to open a command prompt in a specific folder. Check the link above...
Cheers...
EDIT: updated link. Tested it myself and the previous one didn't work. This one does :good:
Also, just in case you would like to go back to previous state, instead of deleting the cmd DWRD as stated on part 10 of the tutorial
10. Delete the DWORD with the name HideBasedOnVelocityId.
I suggest you right click on the name, select "rename" and just add an underscore _ like this _HideBasedOnVelocityId
Do the same if you follow the second part of the guide and want to hide the "Open PowerShell window here"
Cheers

This didn't work for me. I tried renaming first and then deleting the entry. None worked. I went back and tried again and all the settings are already correct as per the guide. I did it again anyways and still nothing even after a reboot. Not a huge deal since I can still just open CMD and cd to the correct location. I have mine at c:/SDK/platform-tools so it isn't a huge pain. Any ideas? I took the latest Creator update.

What the heck, I wonder why it isn't working for me. Is your username (for step 6) a single word or two? Mine is my first and last name. I don't think that should be an issue since when I type it in and hit check names it shows up as PC NAME\FIRST LAST so it doesn't seem to have any problems with that. Checked the box under it, deleted registry key. Changed admin to full control & nothing. Tried giving USER full control as well and nothing.
I've followed the steps 100% about 8 times now, I know I'm not missing anything, but it just won't work for me. :crying:

For user name I just put my email and hit ok then it automatically put my first and last name. Also make sure to allow full control for administrators. Then delete the dwords

Hey,
Not sure what's the problem. I tried it before posting, because i didn't want to post it just assuming it would work. Check the attached screenshot. Just followed the tutorial and i got "Open command window here" back...
Yeah it's not working for me. Oh well.

I don't give up so easily :good:
Try adding this *.reg file: Enable Command Prompt.reg
Just double click and accept... Open it if you wish, basically, it's just the "HideBasedOnVelocityId" renamed to "_HideBasedOnVelocityId"
I didn't find infos if it also needs proper permissions.
Let me know if it works...
Also adding a "disable command prompt" in case you want to revert the change. I just found the *.reg somewhere and edited it a bit...
Cheers...

I tried the *.reg file just for fun and it seems it still needs proper permission though...
By the way, did you properly set the full control at step 9?
Strange, but after a reboot it disappeared for me until i set "full control" for my username (Seb desktop as you can see on the attached screenshot) and not administrator as per the tutorial... This thing is really weird. Doesn't work for you, disappear after reboot for me, lol...
Good luck...
Option in settings for powershell or CMD... I think

I remember someone complaining that powershell was default and told me how to change it. Right click taskbar then navigation or properties. I'll look tomorrow if that isn't correct. My mind is so foggy sometimes

Hey,
Check the OP and the second post of this thread. This doesn't have anything to do with what we are trying to achieve...
Thanks though...

Just put "./" before your commands in power shell.
(Without the quotes if that isn't obvious)

Hey,
I set adb + fastboot path in environment variable and forget about it...
Still your post doesn't help to replace powershell by Command prompt using contextual menu which is the matter of this thread... :good:
