Question

Using adb logcat with a real phone (and not the emulator)

Answer 1

A:

Had the same issue but added a filter in the logcat and only give him a name and set log level to "verbose". You can try that.

I can't see the complete message of some exceptions if the message are to long. Scrolling doesn't function very well.

(Using Eclipse)

I created a named filter and set it to "verbose": still not working. Other ideas? Thanks.

you can do "adb -d logcat". This should work.

Answer 3

A:

have you installed ADB drivers for the device?

What does adb devices return?

Emulators are named like emulator-5554 etc. If your device is properly installed you should see it too. The name depends on which manufacturer you are using.

If you don't see your device, the drivers are not installed correctly. Do some searches for "adb install drivers" on Google. Here's a hit that might do it for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

Running "adb devices" displays the device id, as expected.

Have you tried starting the ddms standalone application? Can you see your device in the devices list?

Key 2010-09-14 11:02:40

Hello. Yes the device (real phone) appears listed when the "ddms" application is executed.

Answer 4

+1 A:

Don't forget to check Settings -> Applications -> USB debugging. Then

 $ adb -d logcat

will show log messages.

The USB debugging was already activated on the cellphone... no results in the logcat. Other ideas? Thanks.
