Enable DEBUG logging on Blu R1 HD (Amazon phone)

Question

I bought the Blu R1 HD, Amazon's Android phone, for use in dev testing. When I view its logs via logcat, only messages logged at the INFO level or higher are showing up for both my app and other system-related messages.

Yes, developer mode is enabled and ADB Integration is enabled via Android Studio. The same app installed on other devices or the emulator shows the DEBUG and VERBOSE log messages as expected.

I see that some specific phone manufactures have default settings to suppress log messages at runtime, e.g. Huawei, logcat not showing the log for my app?

Perhaps the Blu phone is doing something similar. Does anyone know of a way to get DEBUG and VERBOSE logs to show up on this particular phone? (It is the low-end version, 8GB storage, and shows Amazon ads on the lock screen.)
