Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 how do we log and post errors fella? i'm more than happy to help,am tech friendly but new to android and java etc... Those commands will give you logs - logcat will keep updating with system logs, while you'll have to type adb shell dmesg again to get another update. If they're lengthy, you can pastebin it and just dump a link here, if you can tidy it up down to a small relevant part then just post it in the thread.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Yes! I manages to pull the repository lists, so I will finally get adb! -Ninjeh.
Guest RedZombie Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Plug the phone in with USB debugging enabled, either grab ADB from the Android SDK under Platform Tools or find a separate download of it, and check out "adb logcat" or "adb shell dmesg" when these issues occur. Is there any way of doing it just using the phone as my laptop is not very well atm :(
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Yes! I manages to pull the repository lists, so I will finally get adb! -Ninjeh. Wait, don't hold me to that. It's playing up again -.- -Ninjeh.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 I managed to get everything downloaded ^_^ If you need anything doing for the TMV now, just ask and I'll work it out and give it a try :) -Ninjeh.

Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Once I work out what all the adb commands do then I'll have a play around :D Got any specific commands I should know? :P -Ninjeh.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Once I work out what all the adb commands do then I'll have a play around :D Got any specific commands I should know? :P -Ninjeh. adb logcat and adb shell dmesg, pretty much. :P
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Logcat gives the biggest, most random string of things :P And I have no idea what shell dmesg is :P -Ninjeh.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Logcat gives the biggest, most random string of things :P And I have no idea what shell dmesg is :P -Ninjeh. Latest things appear towards the bottom, so go bug hunting and see what messages show up.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Oh okay, I see. What should I see if I press a button? Like back maybe? -Ninjeh.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Oh okay, I see. What should I see if I press a button? Like back maybe? -Ninjeh. These don't show up in logcat or dmesg, you'll have to run adb shell getevent -lt /dev/input/event1 You might have to do adb root first.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 So just type adb root? Then adb shell getevent -lt /dev/input/event1? -Ninjeh.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 So just type adb root? Then adb shell getevent -lt /dev/input/event1? -Ninjeh. Yep.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Did I do something wrong? I got that every time I tried :/ -Ninjeh.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Did I do something wrong? I got that every time I tried :/ -Ninjeh. Did you try pressing buttons? :lol:
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Obviously >.< :P I pressed all 4 many times :P -Ninjeh.
Guest irishpancake Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Is there any way of doing it just using the phone as my laptop is not very well atm :( Would Catlog from Market, sorry....Play, be useful, on the Phone?? I think this is a useful logcat client, with logs, filtering and e-mail built-in!! And possibly Terminal Emulator

Terminal Emulator lets you enter adb shell commands on your device itself.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Obviously >.< :P I pressed all 4 many times :P -Ninjeh. The command probably only works for physical buttons, then. Not sure what you could try.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 I'm guessing so because all the 4 buttons still come up blank :/ -Ninjeh.
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 I'm guessing so because all the 4 buttons still come up blank :/ -Ninjeh. There's probably some other command we're unaware of - I can't really figure it out myself as I don't have a phone with touch buttons, obviously. :lol: Feel free to have a poke and a Google around, though. See what you can find.
Guest NinjehKitteh Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 I saw all the commands on the Android dev but I don't get most of them :3 I'll fiddle about with some tomorrow and figure something out :P -Ninjeh.
