Yes. Dev Tools -> Terminal Emulator.

ConnectBot also works great, and you can connect to the local root shell. You can put the files on your SD card, but with adb you can dump the logs straight to your computer.

To dump logs to your SD:

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

Will dump the log to the root of your SD card.

It's much, much easier if you're using adb. If you use Windows, there's no need to get the entire SDK - just download Droid Explorer. Makes it very easy to get adb working.

With that said, Linux is also computer software and is very valuable to know. I've used Ubuntu for ages, and I love it.

Tech genius is a pretty lofty title FYI :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slickdaddy96:
Well that is what everyone calls me around work and home when I fix people's computers! :-) I don't consider myself that much of a genius, but I have always thought about quiting my day job and opening a computer repair shop and undercut the Geek Squad.

Yeah I need to learn Linux and some more programming. I took a few programing courses in college as electives, but I didn't care much for them even though I understood and made good grades in them.

Here is a fresh boot dmesg text file. I booted, let things settle down, killed all the apps that run at startup. Then started slacker radio with the USB adapter plugged in. I then ended it and all apps running other than clocksync and email which I never kill. I unplugged the USB adapter and tried to let is sleep. The first time I get a solid green light like it is sleeping, but then when I try to wake it up it is non-responsive. I was thinking it was a SOD, but after a few presses of the end button and power button the light turns orange and I get the lock screen. Then once I try to put into sleep again, it will not sleep. It will just blink green continuously till I reboot. I then dumped the dmesgs. I really don't get any sluggishness on my phone at all just the no sleep bug.

I have no clue how to read this, so maybe you will be better at deciphering than I did.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Good luck with that!

Yup, wakelocks:

[ 403.666595] active wake lock i2c
[ 403.666656] active wake lock PowerManagerService
[ 403.666687] active wake lock SMD_DS

I'll see if ACL has any ideas.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
In addition to running dmesg from a shell on the phone, in this case what would also work is:

Do stuff that causes your phone to stop being able to suspend

Try to suspend phone, wait a bit.

Useful in order to narrow down definitive causes as opposed to some transient wakelocks that aren't the culprit:

Wake the phone and reattempt suspend a few times

Connect phone to computer and pull ADB logs

When there was talk about this not being "historical", that just means this method of pulling dmesg results doesn't survive a reset/reboot (not usable for debugging SoDs for example). It does carry all history since device power-on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
This isn't *entirely* true, as long uptimes will cause the logcat and dmesg buffers to cycle... so if the phone has been up for some time, or there's just a lot of stuff in the logs, you'll miss some info from boot. Which is unfortunate, but WisTilt2 was talking about doubling the space we have for logging!

Still haven't talked to him about his kernels having logging disabled... Hoping to talk to him today!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] jphaus:
I wasn't sure where else to post this, but for what it's worth to anyone else, I recently purchased one of the "3-in-1" adapters from eBay to see if I could listen to headphones (via this little device's 3.5mm jack) and charge the phone at the same time. I am happy to report that it works great! This is the generic, non-HTC branded device that can be found all over eBay by searching "3-in-1 htc adapter". I figured this would hold me until the devs get the 3.5mm jack working on my cdma device. Pandora marathon, here I come!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slickdaddy96:
Yeah I bought the HTC branded one, and it works great. When the USB was fixed for that was when I went to running android full time on my phone. I like to stream music and plug into computer speakers at work. I had to use WM until that was fixed.

This really may delay me from even thinking about upgrading anytime soon at all, now if they could just get the SOD "low signal" thing fixed I would put it on my wife's phone also and she would be happy. I am not going to dare put it on until that is fixed though since she has horrible signal where she works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] pdawg17:
So you guys aren't having any sleep problems or "sluggishness" problems after removing the adapter? What phones are you guys using?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slickdaddy96:
I guess I should caveat my statement by saying other than the sleep issue (which I addressed and posted a dmesg dump for in this thread) I have no other issue with the adapter. I don't get but minimum sluggishness, and it is immediately after I remove the adapter. It looks as if Android take a few seconds to realize that the battery isn't charging anymore, but once the charging icon goes away I really don't get in sluggishness in my phone at all.

Are your media player, streaming media apps still up and running when you pull the plug on the adapter? If so, maybe they are the culprit and you should kill them with a task killer.

I am running Rhod400.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
To everyone that has had this issue!

File a bug on the tracker if there isn't one - do it in the KERNEL section!

Post logs, experiences, anything that might help us determine what the issue actually is.

After talking to [acl] (the one who committed this code) he's pretty swamped with other things, and obviously a little disappointed that this wasn't caught earlier.

He's now pretty removed from it, as he hasn't touched it in months. So we really need a bug on the tracker if you guys feel there is a genuine issue.

What would also be interesting is to compare logs from those who say it gets sluggish, and those who say it won't sleep afterwards.

With all of that said, there seems to be a lot of userland-related reasons our phones are not sleeping properly. Devs are taking a deeper dive into this problem lately.

Hey,

i just found a easteregg in AOSP sources. In dialer, enter

*#*#8477#*#*

this should work on all android phone imho.

from Telephony.java:

/**
* Broadcast Action: A "secret code" has been entered in the dialer. Secret codes are
* of the form *#*#<code>#*#*. The intent will have the data URI:</p>
*
* <p><code>android_secret_code://<code></code></p>
*/
public static final String SECRET_CODE_ACTION =
"android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE";

ProtipWidget.java (the widget with the more or less useless tips reacts on it

and makes a Achievment entry to the logs. And even more.

} else if (intent.getAction().equals("android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE")) {
Log.d("Protips", "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED");
mTipSet = 1 - mTipSet;

i am not sure yet, what else happens - and i am atm kinda busy with something else. maybe you figure it out (:

original eng hboot 0.85.2007 s-off

the rom i posted won't change that, you'd have to do it manually. edit: and i have no intentions to use any different bootloader than i do know, unless i have to. back then i got my hero shipped with an s-off bootloader and never had to change it, i don't see it any different for the dhd.

[Epic 4G General] crash081292:
I have a friend that purchased a Epic 4G from someone they know. The person they knew hasn't finished paying bill, so the phone is still on their account. Is there any way for me to wipe that user from the phone for her?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
No. That's why you always need to check the esn on a phone before buying it.
[Epic 4G General] crash081292:
Thank you,

But is there a way to clear ESN?
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
The phone is stolen.

The best thing you can tell your friend to do is email the real owner before the esn gets blacklisted and tell them they just bought their phone, and hope for a reward. I wouldnt expect more than 50 bucks if they have TEP.

clearing the esn is a federal offense, nobody here will help you do that.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
No, I just answered that.

Changing a phones esn to someone elses esn is elligal. Clearing the esn isn't... but all the while not to be discussed here so perhaps google another forum my friend =)
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Yes. The owner of the account that the phone is listed on must take it off of their account. They need to put another phone on the line that is using the esn or cancel the line all together. If that is done without anyone reporting the phone lost or stolen, then you're good to go.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddog4DROID:
I have seen this added in the Super Clean ROM. I know many have asked this but I have not found an answer; can we get the actual definition of what this function does?

And specifically, does it affect the built in Hotspot features or the WiFi tethering apps from the market?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi1111:
From what I've seen, it's one of two things, it either: replaces something Verizon (supposedly?) put in to monitor 3rd party wifi tethering apps, such as Android Wifi Tether (and thus charge you for their use), OR, it allows you to use the included 3G Mobile Hotspot feature (and thus get infrastructure mode on your network). Adrynalyne can answer for sure, I'm sure.

For myself, I have used wifi tethering (3rd party) on DL09 and and stock EB01 and never been charged. Haven't tried to use the 3G Mobile app, as I don't need infrastructure mode. I'm not sure why it would've been included in SC though if you couldn't use it...(i.e., VVM was removed), so perhaps it is that second one.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slic|<:
when after clicking it on it and giving the warning it gives me an option of turning it on, turning it off, and than closing it. I've never had this option before this rom.. so does that mean the app will work for tethering or would it automatically sign you up for the service if you turned it on? :\
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemotodroid:
Can someone write some detailed instruction as to how to turn this feature on for the fascinate (3g hotspot)? the instructions in the dev session are not very detailed.

Contacts.

BigBeard86,

First make sure your contacts are there in your google account on the internet. If they are not there, you may be hosed! If they are then you will be able to sync them again.

You could have been part of the problem last week when google lost many email accounts. Just a thought.

There is not a problem syncing as I am doing on my EPIC after I went from 2.1 to 2.2. Things are synced fine.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Fyi, if you had contacts in your old phone that got "ported" to your new Epic in the Sprint store or wherever you bought it, those will get deleted when you upgrade. Mine did the same thing. The reason being that they are not synced with your Google account automatically and are simply stored in your phone's memory.

[Xoom Accessories] Just-in-time:
OK so you take the tip and the back off a old pen so it looks like a straw.

View attachment 536169

Then you take ESD foam or conductive foam and wrap wire around it.

View attachment 536170

Put the wire into the pen and pull it all the way till you get a nice tip of foam sticking out.

View attachment 536171

Then jsut wrap the wire so you figres will touch it and bam a working Stylus.

View attachment 536172

Its not the best looking but with time it can be better.

Im sure a metal pen would work the best. Ill have to find one around here and try.
[Xoom Accessories] mormegil83:
That's a pretty sweet home made stylus :-)

But i've been looking for a fine tipped stylus to use with drawing apps. With my finger, I can never tell exactly where my lines will go and I'm assuming it would be the same with your solution and all of the rubber tipped stylus I've seen.

Can't someone make like a silicon tip or something so its like pen or a sharpened pencil?

An app I found the other day was "MaplePaint" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mapleworks&feature=search_result

I am wanting to get a stylus to try out with it. Not sure though, as it seems to not be quite sensitive enough for real handwriting. And, when putting my hand down on the screen like on a piece of paper it messes with it a bit.

I'd be curious to know how it goes when used with a stylus.

-Loc
[Xoom Accessories] Locarian:
I picked up a stylus this afternoon. The Targus one.

http://www.targus.com/us/productdet...el1=products&cp=&bannertxt=Stylus For Tablets

The stylus is great, and does a great job doing what it does. Feedback is good. But, I worry about the sensitivity of the digitizer on the XOOM. The lettering is not very accurate in any drawing app I try and things like dots (periods, the dots on 'i' or 'j') do not show up at all.

I check out videos on youtube for iPad apps that do drawing or note taking functions and these do not seem to have any issues. I wonder if it is the digitizer or just the apps not being optimized....

Anyway, stylus gets a thumbs up.

-Loc
[Xoom Accessories] cwizardtx:
I have noticed that if you are using any sort of screen protector it reduces the sensitivity of the stylus.
[Xoom Accessories] Locarian:
Not using a screen protector. No need with Gorilla Glass. :)
