LogCat Stops Running in Eclipse Needs Restart

Question

Periodically LogCat will stop showing messages even though I am in debug mode. At other times it will display only one line at a time! I have a solution, restart eclipse. But I would like to understand this better. It takes too much time to restart eclipse when this happens. I have seen this behavior on the emulator and connected to a device. Either the LogCat shows one line with no history or nothing.

Answer 1

I was with the same problem and the solutions here didn't work for me. The solution I found is open the DDMS perspective and select the device and the running process on the Devices window. With that done, the LogCat returns to life.

Answer 2

Yes, I can get the normal logcat back by clear the log. Also I uncheck the "Limit console output" in Run/Debug->Console.
