Have something on my tablet that appears to be collecting location and device data and uploading it to umeng.com.
How do I make it stop?
EDIT: Apparently File Expert is the culprit.
I see this in a log file. How did you determine the application which called it?

in logcat the number between ( ) is the pid of the process, you can check to which application belongs in ddms or a ps from console

@deeplyyoung try out this app bro , its just awesome. @Bassel Bakr good handy app which saves time. It also helps a lot of noobs around here to provide proper logs
Great work. :good:
Great!!! This is the most awaited app for newbies.
Nice, I'll have to try this out. I currently have SysLog & Logcat Extreme installed for their various functions. This might be a replacement for SysLog.
EDIT: Trying it now, it's been sitting on "Dumping KMSG" for about 5 minutes. I checked them all, by the way. Shall I use one of the aforementioned apps I use to record a logcat while it happens? Seems a bit ironic, I know.

Great app. Command lines made handy. Now users can easily submit logs to respective developers and contribute in smoother development :good:
@Bassel Bakr Could you add Dmesg feature?
Great, thank you, logs have always baffled me - this has made them much easier for me to understand.
Problem I'm facing is that I can't find the logs in the file path /0/android/data/com.bassel.andylog/files/documents/.....
When I get to documents there is nothing in that file.
I can see them when I first take the log and open it though?
Great app, just one thing. After taking a Logcat the log says “
Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory ”. All other logs seem to work fine.

I couldn't find this app on F-Droid. Is there a github repo or other link to the source?
@Bassel Bakr very useful app thanks but i think you should change the Default directory or add an option let us to choose saving directory.

Cool App. Could You please include radio log dump (adb logcat -b radio -v time -d)?
filters possible for specific app?
Thanks everyone for your feedback. ?

It successfully saves the logs now. However, I noticed it saves them all to one file when selecting multiple. Also, if different logs are chosen using the default filename choice, there's no way to tell which one is which without opening them. Would it be possible to automatically generate the first part of the filename based on the type of log? i.e., kmsg--(Date)--(Time).txt, etc? Thanks!

Logcat command gives me “Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory ”
When I tried to create the folders /log/main terminal returned “logcat read: Is a directory”

To get a decent answer, it may be best for you to run a logcat.
Folks the best way to help with device issues is to post a logcat.
The Android logging system provides a mechanism for collecting and viewing system debug output. Logs from various applications and portions of the system are collected in a series of circular buffers, which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages.
For complete information about logcat options and filtering specifications, see Reading and Writing Logs.
For more information on accessing logcat from DDMS, instead of the command line, see Using DDMS.
Syntax
[adb] logcat [<option>] ... [<filter-spec>] ...
You can run logcat as an adb command or directly in a shell prompt of your emulator or connected device. To view log output using adb, navigate to your SDK platform-tools/ directory and execute:

Here are 2 excellent XDA threads explaining Logcat "How to"
[Tutorial] How To Logcat <<< explains how.
[GUIDE] Installing ADB/SDK and How to make a logcat
Or, this app from the market can allow you to create one direct from your device>>> aLogcat ROOT
While we can say we have problems, we (the community) are by no means Android mind readers
So help others, help you... logcat, it may help save the life of another frantic flasher :good:

hello everybody !

ok, so by following this steps on topic :
- Install the app Nexus 5 Field Test mode
- Make sure you have the phone rooted
- Enable usb debugging
- Now you need to obtain your SPC code. For doing it open Nexus 5 Field Test Mode App, got to settings (view), then LTE, and click on edit. At the same time use logcat to get the SPC code
you should use it on "adb " and you will get the spc code
This problem has been bothering me all day. My phone is always out of memory and I've found out that it's the logcat files that are causing this. I've managed to root my phone and connect it to the adb shell on my PC but I have no idea how to remove the logcat files. I would appreciate if you could help me!

Thank You for your time but I've managed to find an older version of the App since it's no longer on the Play store. It only blocked the Main logs. But how do I delete the old logs which take up gigabytes? Anyway to do it through the ADB shell?

Logs taking up Gigabytes
Are those tree logs?
What device are you using? IIRC some MTK devices have an engineering mode. I've used it to disable logging before.
If you just want to clear them, download 3C System Tuner from the Playstore. It'll give you that option.

Additionally, if you can locate the folder in which they're stored, you can just go ahead and delete them manually.
Not sure if this will work on android's shell, but it works on the linux's. You can do this via adb.
Adb shell
Then su to get root access
find / (make sure to add a space!) and then .log I guess
