Hi guys.
I need some help...
My phone randomly reboots and I was thinking of using Tasker to save the logcat at the point of "shutting down" in order to try figure out what app (if any) may be causing the issue.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks in advance.
You ever figure this out, or come up with another way of isolating the problem?

G'day,
I seem to be having a problem with my Touch, with it adjusting the time by itself to a different time zone. When it does this, i go back in and manually change it to the correct zone and save changes, however within an hour it will have re-adjusted itself again.
Is there anyone who has this problem also, or may know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

maybe u can try to go to
setting->phone-> and uncheck the box that says change time zone automatically
hope this help
Will see how that goes Thanks!!
Hey all,
I've been looking for a LONG time now for a program that will let me send/recieve my emails on my touch pro at something like 1 minute or so instead of the 5 minutes default. Now i found this thread in another forum here at XDA.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332960 ...
This program does everything i want it to but only when the phone is awake.. when its in standby mode (the screen turned off) the program doesnt run and therefore doesnt receive my emails.. Has anyone else used this program and if so do you have a fix for this? or able to fix it?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thank you very much.
Nothing at all out there?
My CDMA Hero started rebooting randomly during the last week or so. I uninstalled all recently installed applications and the problem went away.
However ...
This has happened more than once, and it takes a lot of time to track down the offending app(s). I really want to know how to troubleshoot if this happens again.
If this were a Windows computer, I would go and get the minidump file and run it through windbg and it would suggest what module had caused the fault.
Is there anything like that for Hero crash / unexpected reboot? If not, what approach would you suggest for investigating these incidents?
Thanks,
Chris
Running DamageControl 2.08.1
Best thing i know to do is to run logcat with adb and try to recreate the problem.
Hard to repro...
Thanks, but the problem was so sporadic ... it would go hours, or even days, between reboots. Is it possible to use something like logcat to get the log files from *before* the current bootup?
im not that familiar with logcat, just search the string "Logcat Hero" on the Xda forums and you should be pointed in the right direction
Is there anything like /var/log/messages?
Thanks again. I went and looked at the logcat documentation and there are some options to get different kinds of output. However, I reset the phone (simulating a crash) and when that happened, the logs were cleared, so that there were no log entries visible via logcat that predated the shutdown.
Does anybody know where the actual log files are kept? There isn't a /var/log/messages or anything like that. Where do I find files equivalent to the "normal" Linux /var/log/messages?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi folks, I've been getting almost daily restarts and I'm worried my hardware might be defective in some way. I usually use SysLog do get logcats but the last kernel log option is greyed out so apparently the stock kernel doesn't support it. Can anyone help out? I've also tried to get one via terminal emulator but that was also fruitless. Also does anyone else get at least one restart a day?
Started today. My phone drops call during screen timeout process. I take/make a call screen goes dark, which is fine. But If i move or take phone away from ear that results in screen turning back on, the call drops. I called fi and theyre just sending a new sim. It does the same thing when using hangouts to make wifi calls , with sim out. So i dont think its the network.
Update:
I called google, where I got my nexus 6. He told me to go into safe mode. The problem did not exist while in safe mode. He said if problem does not exist on safe mode than its an app causing the issue. Now what?
Plz help or point in a good direction. THX

Pull a log covering the time that the problem is happening. If you need help with getting a log, there are several post like this one.

Thanks alot. I appreciate you replying. I grabbed one of those log apps in the link. Just to see what my log would look like. I went to the bottom of log to see the calls I made and saw that "spy fi" app was very active. I deleted "spy fi" and my phone seems normal again. Now if i have unknown issues I know where to start. Again Thanks a lot
Spoke to soon its doing it again

Logs are still the key. It's the only way to find a commonality. Personally, for a challenge like this, I prefer to use "adb logcat > output.file". It's easier for me to find errors and filter based on app on a pc.
