Jelly Bean With Android 4.1 (aka Jelly Bean) the full system log is only visible if you have root. Apps can only see their own log messages.

This can help figure out issues with random reboots. –Chahk Oct 11 '11 at 15:07 Good point.

Where Does Android Store Log Files
system log file location up vote 0 down vote favorite 1 in ubuntu there is /var/log/syslog file. My question is what is the equavalent file of the ubuntus syslog in android having the idea that i had a rooted android phone. android logging http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/14430/how-can-i-view-and-examine-the-android-log share|improve this question asked Aug 27 '15 at 3:19 jameshwart lopez 1,7311729 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote There are a few ways to view the System-Log - but finding the location of the log files is considerabaly harder. I will list 3 options that will allow you to view the logs (either on a device or computer), but I do not know where they are kept. I may be wrong, but from what I have gather, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32240120/android-system-log-file-location the Android System does not keep a "Log File". Rather, there is a buffer that contains the "Log" (again I may be wrong on this)! You first option is to install an app from the play-store called aLogCat. This app is very useful for both viewing and sending logs from your device. It can be setup to Email you the "Log Files" from your device. This method works best with root. The second method works by using the Android SDK. Connect your device (with USB-Debugging enabled) and, at a Terminal enter the following: $ adb logcat -d > logcat.txt The -d option tells adb to copy the entire File Log from the Android System. Because you seem to know how UNIX Systems work, I won't explain the rest of the command. A third option (if you are rooted, that is) is to install a Terminal Emulator on your Android device. Open the Terminal Emulator and enter the command: $ logcat -d > /sdcard/my-log-file.txt This will do the same as above (except you don't need a computer, and the file saves on your device/SDcard. Feel free to change the "/sdcard/my-log-file.txt" part to anything you like, but I strongly recommend you save it to either your external or internal storage - so in short: Save it to a location you can accsess without # (superuser) permission! share|improve this answer answered Aug 27 '15 at 8:18 Ankush 3181314 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using
