Logs

rpierce99 actually made a great app called GetLogs. Check it out, makes taking logs much, much easier! (Does things like auto-masking, direct posting to pastebin, etc.)

If you want to pull logs manually, the most popular kind are,   and.

will dump a dmesg log (kernel traces) to a file &mdash; dmesg.txt &mdash; on your computer. Note this command will drop dmesg.txt where ever you are currently running the command from &mdash; watch the path you are at!

will dump a logcat file (userland traces, with timestamps).

will dump a file radio-specific logs. (RIL)

You can also run these on the phone directly, I recommend doing  in order to put the dmesg log to a file on your SD card.

Note: if you want to run the logs continuously, for both logcat commands remove the -d. You will have to break them (CTRL-C) to get the log to quit and give you back a prompt.

For a continuous dmesg, you have to use a different command -  - again, break with (CTRL-C).
