Terminal emulator not working, need advice - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, for some strange reason whenever I hit the enter button to go to the next line on terminal emulator nothing happens! I am using it on Android 7.1.2, before downloading on google play there was a message that said "this app might not be optimized for your device", could this be why its not working? is there another app similar to terminal emulator that works just as well as terminal emulator?

[Q] terminal emulator problems

Ok, i looked at the other threads on here and couldn't find any helpful info. i've looked at other forums on the web and couldn't find help there either.
so I've rooted my Huawei S7, installed Titanium Backup which installed Busybox. It looks like i was able to back up everything on the tablet with titanium. I then installed Android Terminal Emulator 1.0.4, developed by Jack Palevich. But when i launch the terminal emulator, I can not run any command. Every command that i enter gets a 'permission denied' response. i have no idea why this is. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: After some thought, when i am entering the commands, the keyboard is trying to autocomplete the commands and capitalizes the first letter of the command, so su is being entered as Su and ls is Ls. This seems like it could be the problem, perhaps? I tried turning off all the settings with the keyboard but the commands are stilling being autocompleted and autocapitalized. Any thoughts?

terminal emulator crash :(

Hey guys I have a rogers captivate and have had nothing but problems the last couple of days, mostly cuz im inexperienced with rooting.
Anyways, Im trying to root with this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827544
but at step #10 when I close the terminal emulator it crashes (force closes) then doesnt let me open it again. After rebooting my phone I tried steps 8-10 again and the same thing keeps happening!
Anyone have any ideas why?
Try a different terminal emulator from the market. Some of them are better than others.
still doesnt work.. I tried better terminal emulator pro and terminal emulator.

Failed to connect

Kitkat on nexus 5
Recently, about a week, I will get a popup that says "failed to connect". I'm sure it is some app that I'm blocking from the Web, but the message has no identifier. So I don't know which app is trying to reach the Internet.
Is there a log or tool somewhere that would help identify which app is putting up that error message?
'adb logcat'
So, do you mean in a terminal app, I enter
adb logcat > something.txt
Do I need to install a logcat app or just a terminal app?
Thanks for helping.

on the device, you need to become root to be able to use 'logcat'. 'adb logcat > something.log' would be the way to do it from a computer.

depends on how you want to go from here. you know that you can use either a computer or the device itself. so, what would be the easier way to achieve this?
a) 'adb logcat >futurelogfile.txt' would be nice, since it will redirect all logcat output to a file in your computer, ready for analysis; after this is running, just reproduce/wait for the bad behaviour ( on the device, ofc)
b) open a terminal app on the device, become root, run 'logcat > /sdcard/badbehaviour.log', go back to your homescreen leaving logcat running in the background, and reproduce/wait for the bad behaviour;
your choice.
EDIT: i wanted to remember stuff i knew existed, and i stopped by again to drop this link, for further reading on 'adb logcat' usage, if anybody wants to.
Thank you very much. That's very helpful. I'm already rooted.
