Greetings
I have hundreds of files named RS_###.log in /data, all around 1000 Bytes.
They seem to be generated several times each day. Opening them produces a file with a bunch of numbers (pic)
I don't like it. It reminds me of the HTC logging debacle.
Can someone shed some light on this? My research came up fruitless.
Thank you

Unknown. I too had hundreds of them. I just did a batch delete.
I am running SlimRom's 4.2.2 Build 7 on the device atm, with lean kernel and crossbreeder.
Now, I literally have ~300 user apps on the phone, so my chance of tracking it down is slim to none, unless there is a 'file monitor' tool that can be used to historize what apps interact with what files (creating another .log file ). Is anyone aware of such a tool?
-t
That would be a good idea.
So no problems after batch delete? Do you do that weekly or something?
Batch delete rocked my system bad. I wouldn't advise that. Good thing I had a nandroid
I have 41 of them in my /data folder, all dated 2013/07/12. I didn't do anything special to the phone at all that week because we were on vacation, so I don't know what might have generated those files.
Stock rooted mf1.

I have >200. Many from July 29. Not sure the significance of that date either.
Also surprised this thread isn't blowing up...
I've got a bunch of them too. Had two files created today, both with the same time. I checked the file properties and it shows the "owner" and "group" as camera, which is kinda scary. Makes me wonder what the camera is up to. My pictures are backed up to Google+, so I thought maybe it had something to do with that, but the oldest file was created on 7/30/13 and I've been backing up pictures a lot longer than that. I hate not knowing why these are being created.

I've Googled RS log every way I can think of. The only thing I could come up with is an rs debugging log, which, according to Google, has something to do with app development and should be turned off before an app is released. Unless it is a really popular app, I doubt all of us downloaded or updated the same app unless it was a Google app. They have released a bunch of updates lately: maps, play store, play services, hangouts, etc. And we all know all the updates worked perfectly! At least some of those apps use the camera, so that could tie in. Or maybe it had absolutely nothing to do with any of this and I just lost 5 minutes of my life typing this :sly:

OK, I think I may have something, but maybe someone else can try this to confirm it. Looks like it is Google Hangouts. Anytime i start a video call the file rs_0.log, rs_1.log, rs_11.log, are written too. Also there are files named cam_socket0 and cam_socket1 in /data. If I only use the front facing camera then cam_socket1 is written too. If I switch to the rear camera then cam_socket0 gets written to also. I've made 4 video calls this morning just to try it, every time I would then check the file properties and the access date and time matched when I made the call. I'm assuming it is renaming all the log files so that rs_0 is always the latest. If someone else can confirm this that would be great.

hmm...i've never used google hangouts...
Hmm... Well... I'm still thinking it has something to do with apps interacting with the camera. But chasing it/them down may be difficult. I just get worried about the camera being used without me knowing it.

or the feds remotely switching your phone mic and camera. That was in the news the other day.
On another note, I just reflashed a clean install and haven't taken any pictures yet. ALSO...no RS log files yet. You may be on to something my friend...
Lol, well if it's the feds I'll have to give them some special pics! I'm probably already on some watch list anyway, so what the heck.
I took some pictures and it didn't change the rs log, so I'm thinking it is other apps accessing the camera. I know it happens with hangouts but there maybe more. I'm guessing it's something of google's and probably fairly harmless, but would still like to know.

Speaking of "still," I'm "still" baffled by why nobody else has brought this up........
I've seen these too. No idea what causes them. They can get quite numerous.
I just use:
Code:
rm -Rf /data/RS_*.log
They don't seem to cause any problems, but I still wonder what the heck they are.

Can I do that from terminal emulator on the phone?
I did 2 video calls through Hangouts last night and I still have just the files from July 12. The cam_socket files were created at about the time of the calls though.
<Don't ask me how I sent this>
Well, I guess my hangouts theory is getting blown out of the water. every time I use hangouts I get an updated rs log file, however, I also get them if I haven't used hangouts.

Anyone else have an issue with picasa?
when i upload pics they only upload about 75% of the pic then say completed
is anyone else having that issue?
second issue: when i try to make a phone call and it asks me with out without Google voice, sometimes after i make my selection that same screen will continuously pop up. i will back up select another number and the issues is gone, but when i go back to that original number i was trying to call... same issue...
???
Im having the Picaso issues, but a little different than you.
I have two Gmail accounts and only sync contacts and Picaso for each account.
Only the pictures from my main gmail account sync, and I cant view half of those.
The others don't sync at all..
I've been using picasa tool as a work around but it would be nice to have tings work like they should.

Same here. Not sure why. I actually did a master reset because initially the gallery couldn't upload to begin with. After a master reset, the upload function worked and the pics uploaded without an issue. Come Friday where I was taking pics for the bodyglove case/kickstand thread and I the pics uploaded but only 75% uploaded as complete same as you. I just used dropbox to upload instead as a workaround for now.
As for google voice, do you have the settings to either not use gv for any outgoing calls or int'l calls. Just make sure it's not for EVERY call. If that still doesn't work, just clear all the defaults and reopen GV and establish your settings.

Any ideas; when I go to the picasa web folder in gallery and try to load a picture any picture from any web folder the screen just strobe lights and won't load anything.

No no heh....I used dropbox to upload the pics wirelessly and then go to any computer work or home to download it to the workstation. Once downloaded go to picasaweb and upload the pics there.
I was making sure the pics were coming out correctly and narrowing down if the upload problem was just the phone and not picasa's issue.

I had that happen when I deleted my cache and tried to go back into the gallery. I couldn't figure out what happened so I did a master reset to get my google info registered on the phone again, kinda like a data wipe. I don't have much apps so restoring 30 apps from the market was a breeze especially when the phone restored most of them for me.
I also can not correctly upload pictures to picasa. The pictures show up as the correct pixel size (2448×3264) but the lower 66-75% is all gray.
I opened a ticket with t-mobile but they are f-tards.
Is this anyones first android phone? I wonder if by some slim chance some setting is getting synced from my old G1.
We wouldn't be having this issue if the bootloader wasn't locked.
Just uploaded 22 pictures from the device , the last 2 images are grey in the lower portions of the image.
The rest are fine , very odd

Same here ... I just uploaded about 15 pics to picasa and all of them were gray on the bottom half. Major bummer. Never had this issue with my stock nexus one or cm nexus one. I spent a lot of time getting pics off my phone wirelessly and uploaded to picasa. Fix this PLEASE HTC/tmobile! Or better yet bring us root so it can get fixed via the awesome dev community.

I have that issue but only in 1 of the folders in Picasa, the rest are fine.
Im going to test out gallery3d from the market. I used it with my n1 without real problems and I know where the damn cache is for that folder lol....
EDIT: Confirmed. Gallery3d upload works...for me anyway. I figured I'd try using that gallery to see if it worked after my factory reset, and it does.

so i have no issue uploading after a factory reset but my gallerys still blink when i try to look at pics
I still have issues after a factory reset. Now I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with some setting that is getting stored in the cloud. Basically I had a G1, that I used with picasa a ton, now I'm wondering if there is some setting in the cloud that gets pulled down when I first log in after a factory reset during the sync.
I moved to using "Picasa Tool" for now, but I have a bug open with T-mo and HTC on the issue.
For some reason i can only view the albums in which i uploaded pics on my sensation from and no other albums..
Phone thinks they are complete but Picasa only has 75% of it... Example:
https://picasaweb.google.com/general...45919237194850
Today I am launching TextHer app which enables users of android phone to communicate privately and securely between them.
TextHer
It is a peer to peer (serverless) messaging app where the messages are directly sent from one phone to another without being routed through or stored on any servers.Messages will be not be routed through carrier's server instead it will be directly sent from one phone to another using data connection.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacenext.texther
Sending a message:
To send a message to another phone just type the primary gmail address of the phone,type your message and send it.
For example my phone's primary account is [email protected],Just type the mail address or just the account name(ramanean) and send a message
Features
1.No Registration is required and Free unlimited messages.
2.Secure/Instant communication between any two individuals
3.Instant Delivery of messages (unless the other phone doesn't have a working data connection)
4.Messages are not stored on any servers.they are stored only on your phones.
5."Background Send" option which allows a delivery of messages incase of a failure.
6.Messages are encrypted by AES standards
This app would make it difficult for law enforcement and spy agencies to track what is being communicated between two phones as the messages sent are encrypted by a standard AES algorithm and the messages are not stored on any server.It allows secure communication between two phones without the fear of being tracked for their messages.
Serverless:
It's not entirely serverless as we store the ips on our server and give it to the clients which enables phones to connect with each other. And I have plans to come out with another version which would never involve a server.
I hope I would get a constructive review on your site.Please let me know whether you need any extra information

a) This app won't be available in certain countries in the Middle East and south East Asia!
b) There is too much of snooping around and that's why I have come out with this app
c) On other hand it would help organizations like Occupy Wall Street and people in their protests.It would great help in free speech
MY answer to others who question my app!
Why do you need a intermediate person to message/communicate your loved one? Whether we use a third person to communicate with our loved ones inside our house? The answer is No.. and that is the reason I have come out with this app.
Okay here's what I discovered after a bit of goofing around:
1) You use app for a few minutes and it is impossible to get out. Pressing back keeps bringing you back to previous screen. In a loop.
2) I tried messaging myself. Didn't work.
3) I tried messaging on ramaean. App not installed
4) When I tried messaging to shangce, it force-closed on me.
5) You need to have a more consistent UI. You have used all the colors in rainbow
I don't want to come off as a ****, but if someone wanted to use an app for truly private communication I think they should be asking the following questions:
Could you describe in detail what happens to the text from the time you press Send to when the recipient's phone beeps?
How do we know your servers aren't logging our messages?
Why should we use your app instead of an encryption app?
Please don't take this as an insult to your app or hard work, but they are legitimate concerns for any security related app. I would be much more comfortable if there was an encryption feature.
You got some of the points wrong
a)My mail ID is [email protected] and not "ramnean" (use ramanean)
b)You can click on the home button in the bottom help menu to come out
c)I won't reveal from my that mail address "shangce"
d)I don't know which provider you are using.l
This app will not work if the phone has internal IP's!!
UI :
I need to work a big on UI As I always choose colors wrong

a) I used the correct id. there was a typo in above message. Anyway, this isn't a deal-breaker.
b) I should still be able to come out of an app by pressing back button. Don't you think?
c) Didn't get you.
d) It works after disabling WiFi. My bad.
e) You can try a two-colour theme.

Ok, so is this still a "NO" for us in the Middle East? Will you post the apk file here or will I have to wait till I get back to India later this month to download it?
Is there some reasoning for barring people based on location? Am pretty sure that:
a) A terrorist is neither in our midst nor that one would be wandering around in the xda forums looking for something they could use.
b) If they are aware of a software such as this they could always get one of their partners in crime to download it from an off site location and mail it to them.
Hope that you will post it here.

Remember that the app works only for external ip's it doesn't work for natted ip's (I am trying to fix it)
Send a message to yourself to see that whether it works for you! If you didn't get your own message then it won't work for you as you may on a natted/internal IP
Nice idea, flawed execution. No functionality in any of my tests. Currently attempt to use Redact instead.

Notice: These builds are experimental and most likely not fully, or at all working. Proceed at your own risk.
EDITS:
7/6- changed download link up a directory
7/6- added sd card fix that can be added to a build to allow sdcard use and JRW 28's build.prop to utils folder
This is where I am going to post all my CM9 and AOKP work. Please feel free to pitch in and help out if you can. You can PM me if you want privacy, but I would rather keep most of the discussion open in this thread so that others can see.
What do we have here?
Most if not all of what I will write about here is based on ROMS for other devices that can be found here. These ROMS are not meant to be used as a "daily driver" if you will, but more to be tested and hopefully improved until they work. The hope would be to get the radio working so they could actually be used to make calls.
Versions
I'm dividing the builds up into different categories
1. Nightly- They probably won't actually be nightly, maybe 2 some day and then not 1 for a week, but they are the most cutting edge, and may not even boot. Only nightly builds currently exsist.
2. Release Candidate (RC)- a bit stabler, will work fine, but will still have problems as listed.
Changelog
7/6/12:
Initial releases of AOKP and CM9. both are based of Droid 3 and AOKP appears not to boot
Problems
Here is a list of generic problems, along with ones specific to certain builds. I'll add on to this.
Generic:
1. No radio- This is the big one, no clue how we're gonna fix it
CM9 Nightlies:
1. no sd card
2. no wifi
3. no sound
AOKP Nightlies:

Bug reporting
Please report bugs in this thread and be sure to state the following
1. which version (date +nightly, RC or Stable)
2. What the problem is
3. conditions required for it to occur
4 any other important details.
Example: 7/6/12 nightly no sound only in airplane mode also causing apps to force close when trying to play sound (that is all made up)
Want to help out with fixing? Please PM me or let me know here what you think you can fix, or ask me to give you a job. Thanks!!!
Just in case...
I will look into the taboo world of the RIL.... since I know that is off limits on XDA...
I will communicate anything through PM though, I just wanted to put it in here, so others knew not to discuss this here, and that I was going to see what I can achieve on cracking the RIL.

Because it has to do with the radio, and opening it up. Modifying or talk of modifying radios, cell unlock, S-off, and hacking free cell service are all off limits on XDA. I am not 100% sure on all of it, so you might check with our mod.
I also sent you a PM too.
About the only thing I can do here is give the correct build.prop setting for CM9/AOKP to work on our phone, and that is the following:
Code:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.catergory=9
What I am going to do is a little more back door and "forcefull" if these setting don't work for anyone who has it loaded or is going to flash it.
right now I can't flash my A2, because I am running another bootloader/kexec type of hack to try to get my unsigned kernel to boot.
This weekend I will try and see what I can do with the actual ro.ril.so files.
Downloaded...can DB for mirrors if anyone needs. May hold off flashing myself until a little more fixing is done. Very excited to see the ball rolling now though. Great job guys...keep it up!
@lkrasner. You sir are bound and determined to get us non stock roms for this phone. Thank you for all of your efforts. I have the weekend off so i will be testing these roms over the next few days to see if i can help in any way. Thanks again.

Here is a modified build.prop that does boot with AOKP if anyone wants to take a look at it
Build.prop
for those that downloaded the link please download this again as I had the wrong build.prop, it has now been corrected !!! My apologies!!!
I really like to thank all of you awesome guys for your so hard,dedicated and superb efforts to keep A2 one of the best and that too with so many many limitations and constrains.
I really salute you guys.God bless you.Keep up the good work.

I noticed a few little issues.
1) The following line is in there twice with different numbers:
Code:
persist.ril.mux.noofchannels = 8
persist.ril.mux.noofchannels=9
2) The ro.ril settings are a little different than our "known good" settings:
Code:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
Try changing the the ro.ril.grpsclass to 12, as in my above post.
These are just the things that so far stand out to me to begin with.
If anyone wants to give them a try and let us know....

I think I will write up a quick shell script that changes the necessary properties in build.prop so that we can do it to any build and not worry about screwing up other things by totally replacing it.
How should I go about it? sed I guess? any other ideas.

awk and sed or Perl, since Perl has the interpreters and edit functions for text already built in.
It might be best to just have the script create the correct build.prop no matter what, instead of edit it, that way we know that the correct file gets used, and not some "accidental" flub up that someone might have played with... sort of like a built in recovery so to speak. you can always back up any other versions.

but won't that be a problem with different builds? isn't the build.prop different for AOKP and CM9 and even for different ones of those possibly?
I would do Perl, but I have never used it in my life, so I would probably screw something up pretty bad, or just take forever to do it.
Rils are modified and created in other forums, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem for us.

Yes you are right.... I am going to do something that has the possibility that I might have to go rogue and change and release proprietary code in an open format, and that is what is not allowed, and I can't even discuss it here. Anyone who would like more information can PM me.
Here is a rundown on the RIL, and why it is important:
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html
We need it to be open source, but it is not, and it is usually propritary code. If I can find an open source version we are in luck and we can compile the CM9 version and just plug it in... otherwise I need to go and hack it.

FYI I have noticed that mobile data bug from CM10.2 seems present here... I was on wifi, went out, data would not hook up until I rebooted the device...
Going to doublecheck that I have all the patches needed from 10.2, but I think I do :/

The relevant patches that cured this on the CM builds were http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50036/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50035/. They are still not merged so you might not have them. If you do have them, then well, I can make sure I'm not using any other random patches.

4.3 gapps should be fine.

Edit - done
for some reason I can't seem to get my phone to get a radio signal outside of wifi. probably just something wrong with my flash... I'll post back eventually when I can reflash if no one else says it works/doesnt work.
Data, calling and texting work fine for me. I sometimes get the same text twice, or I'll be having a conversation and I'll randomly get the other person's previous responses, again. Also, I've noticed the front facing camera doesn't work for me and it hasn't for awhile.
I should add that I've had both of these issues on CM10.1.3.1

Ah, thank you for confirming they are platform bugs.
I'll look into the front cam issue. Not sure about the multiple texts, but I use Google Voice, so I'm probably not the best use case.
I'm loving the active notifications tho!
Edit - so I just ran zDeviceTest, and the front cam worked as expected. Can you tell me where the front cam is failing for you?

It just fails in general, like if I open the camera, and try to switch to the front camera, it FC's Gallery and then every time I open gallery or camera after that, it closes. The only thing I can do to use it again is to wipe data for gallery. Also I use Google Voice as well.So idk what the issue is there.

For the text issue, did you enable Voice+, or are you using the GV app?
I also just tested this - open camera, switch to front camera - I see my ugly mug. Are you dirty flashing?

This is the issue. Voice+ is known to cause problems like duplicate texts... I just use the GV app, I do not enable Voice+ personally and have never had this issue.
As for the front camera issue, perhaps clear cache on the gallery or camera app? That is strange, I can't seem to recreate it.
Well thanks for the info on Voice+. When I try to use the front camera, I usually clear data for it, idk if clearing cache will do anything different, but I'll check anyway.
Edit: Clearing cache does nothing.

I know there have been several threads on this already.
However, today for me it came to a truly ridiculous level.
I had charged fully and unplugged my phone before going to sleep.
Didn't use it this morning.
Now, this morning, I open it up and it's under half battery.
I click the battery in settings and this is what I see:

}
This was overnight. Nothing running. Just this f***ing media server eating all the battery.
There has to be a solution. Besides rebooting the phone every day.
I don't want to root the phone purely to solve this. Because I know if I do root there are ways to auto kill it and such. But I'd much prefer to keep it unrooted as I have no other need of root and it just seems... excessive.
Can anyone offer any advice? This is nothing to do with media players or whatever. I have no media files on my phone. Only use it for web browsing and games occasionally. The media server is just ...broken. I'm at a loss here, please, contribute your superior knowledge.
Thanks in advance.
I was having that mediaserver wake lock problem also. After rebooting twice a day for a couple days I finally figured out it was due to touch sounds being on. Once I turned touch sounds off I've been getting pretty good battery life with excellent standby.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've never had touch sounds or lock screen sounds enabled. I checked again and they're off.
Any other ideas?
Media server is a process gg on to keep scanning for the pictures in ur phone. There is a way to disable it and will not harm ur fone. The app is called "Rescan Media Root" u can download it in google play. Open it and press disable. Most of the time the pics will still appear in gallery. If any recent pics u taken in ur camera or anything else is not in ur gallery, just go back to the app and enable it. Wait for arnd 5 mins and disable again.

Sent from my GT-I9300
It might be helpful to use an app like Clean Master, SD Maid or similar to nuke your browser and app caches to see if that helps. Sometimes the caches contain media files, and if any of them are corrupted for whatever reason the Media Server is apt to get stuck on them which can cause battery drain.
Tats why i said to use the rescan media root app from google play. It will disable to media server. But yeah its always best to clear the cache anyway for storage space. I use clean master and cleared over 7 gb in total for a few months.

The problem is that needs root, and my phone isn't rooted; and the thread about how to root it says it will wipe all data. Except without root titanium backup doesn't work fully and stuff. I just don't want to go there if I can avoid it.
I've got SD Maid now and hopefully that will help...

It will wipe his data because his bootloader isn't unlocked.
@DryEagle
The cache cleaner is a good recommendation. But I suspect you have a rogue app running that should not be running. I think that cleaning program has a task manager also. You should be able to find the source of the issue with that.
Get BetterBatteryStats also.

Technically root won't wipe his phone but the chances of him having a unlocked phone and not adding root are slim.
You can try helium backup as I think it will do a local data only backup without root but honestly never tried it without root and have not read the Google play page in ages.
I can understand your desire to not less with root or unlocking but this is a good example of why a lot of people do. As it stands now without root you have few options to kill the rouge process or even figure out what that process is. Without root the only real choice your left with is factory reset but that will wipe your data. With root you can at least make a backup however unlocking your boot loader now will still wipe your phone.
Try better battery stats and see if that works without root (you can get it here on XDA) and if so it might help you at least figure out what app or process is forcing media to be such a battery drain.

Do you have Google Music installed? If so, try deleting it and see if that helps.
I have found that Google Music keeps running in the background, even if I never opened it.
I am rooted and froze Google Music, and the media server thing hardly ever shows up in battery stats now.

OP - BBB should work without root for some features. I'd download that and give it a whack to see if you can identify the culprit. Might turn out to be something really random.
thanks for all the info guys; in the end i just bit the bullet and rooted the phone (figured might aswell do it sooner rather than later) so now i of course don't have this problems anymore ^^
