Log Collector for Android

Collect system logs from your Android device for troubleshooting using Log Collector

When you need to troubleshoot an application that has crashed or is not performing properly, or you want to send that information to the developer of the app, the app Log Collector makes it easy.

What Log Collector does is collect a device log and ask you for a method to send it, where you'd like it to be sent (e-mail, messaging, etc.). The log data is used to troubleshoot an app that is misbehaving or crashing.


How to collect the logs from your Android device

  1. Startup and use the application that is misbehaving, to trigger the error
  2. Once it fails to login, or whatever problem you are having, close it (if it hasn't already crashed)
  3. Start Log Collector. It will gather the device log and ask you how and where to send it
  4. Done! You have now emailed, messaged, or in some other way saved the log so that it can be used for troubleshooting.

Example of a device log

Here is a short extract from a device log that I sent to CrashPlan, so that they can troubleshoot why I'm suddenly unable to login to my account using their Android application.

Introduction to CrashPlan Description Here's how Wikipedia describes CrashPlan backup software: CrashPlan is backup software that allows Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris users to back up their data to an offsite data center, computers belonging to friends and family, as well as to attached drives / shared folders. There is a free version (for non-datacenter backups) and CrashPlan+ which is for backing up to CrashPlan's servers. Both versions allow users to back up data automatically. How it can be used on your NAS If you are the owner of a NAS from QNAP, you can install CrashPlan and use it to backup the contents of your NAS to the CrashPlan data center, to other computers and/or external harddisks. You can also allow incoming backups, so that you and your friends and family can back up valuable documents and files to your NAS.

How to remove Vlingo/Voice Command from your Android phone without rooting

Here's an easy way to remove/uninstall "Voice Command" from Vlingo, the annoying app that starts every time the home button is double-tapped on Samsung Galaxy S2. And sometimes when it's just pressed once... Since "Voice Command" is a system application, it's not easily uninstalled and used to require the phone to be rooted and thus warranty voided. Unlike the other ways of removing the app, this method works on Android phones that have been upgraded to "Ice-Cream Sandwich" (ICS) and does not require the phone to be "rooted" . Please note that there may not be a way to install it again, should you change your mind later. Maybe a factory reset brings it back, maybe it doesn't. I don't know, and have not tried to get it back. Follow these steps to remove "Voice Command" from your Galaxy S2 with ICS without root
