Does android OS log system events to a log file somewhere? If so, where/how can I read this?
Background: After leaving my SEMC X10 Mini Pro on charge last night, I wake up to find it was off. I'd like to look in a log file to try and work out when and why the phone switched itself off.
To access the logging output, run the 'adb' executable with following arguments to capture the Android Enterprise related logging: Windows: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools> adb logcat -G 32M; adb shell setprop persist.
System logs are useful when something in the system throws an error. Android allows collecting system logs using Logcat. Log messages can be viewed in a Logcat window in Android Studio, or you can use the command line tool to pull them.
View your app logs Build and run your app on a device. Click View > Tool Windows > Logcat (or click Logcat in the tool window bar).
System Log (syslog): a record of operating system events. It includes startup messages, system changes, unexpected shutdowns, errors and warnings, and other important processes. Windows, Linux, and macOS all generate syslogs.
