Is there a log for Force Close?

[French]

I am using Bedside with a dock at night to make my Fascinate into an alarm clock. Some nights I get Force Close messages...some nights I get none. The Force Close messages light up the room and wake me up so in a half sleep stupor I barely manage to dismiss them, but the few times I've tried to read them they seem to be very "generic".

Is there any type of log so I can try to figure out why I'm getting them sometimes and other times I'm not? I just want to sleep through the night without Force Closes waking me up! I also discovered that if I turn my display off (because last night I got 2 or 3 Force Closes that woke me up), the display then lights up AGAIN and stays on for the battery full message.

This shouldn't be so hard!

You can download "sendlog" from the Market. This provides a method for sending yourself, or a 3rd party developer, a log which contains System messages which have occurred recently.

Initially, I'd just do sendlog to your own email address... then, if you find proof of what App is doing it, then you could contact the developer of that App and provide the logs to them.


I did this recently with Ringo Pro, and over the course of a couple of weeks of data collection, and debug builds of their software, we resolve the issues I was having..

adb shell dmesg > output.txt
adb shell logcat >output.txt
etc..

I'd recommend using grep (avail in busybox) once you narrow down what you're looking for.

If all that was just greek to you, use the app 666 mentioned, unless you like digging into technical stuff.

TripSixes (666)...thank you for the suggestion...off to take a look.

namebrandon...I had to unroot...my company detected it via the Good server and I was booted off for not passing their IT policy. In order to get work email on my personal device it can't be rooted. I only really miss wifi and even that not so much...

Yikes! That sucks!

On another note, you're the only other person I've met who uses GoodMessaging! I really like it, but it sounds like your IT Messaging people are kind of jerks..

How did they detect that you had root, did they say?

I actually didn't ask them...but I'm going to guess they somehow scanned for the superuser apk.

I did the unroot using the video posted (I think here somewhere) instructing to use terminal emulator on the device itself. Hmm...wonder if it's possible to store the necessary files on SD card and reinstall using terminal emulator....I would really only need root when trying to wifi tether. For the most part that's all I'm doing that I can't accomplish otherwise. Hoping 2.2 will make root even less "necessary".

ETA: In order to do what I propose I would have to have superuser installed. I'm not positive but I'm assuming Superuser is the thing IT is looking for. It's what I would look for. BUT...if it weren't...then it should be possible to reinstall the other files needed via that method. I may need to ask my IT guy some questions....

It's crazy how "tight" they are making the security...and considering what I do in my job (and therefore don't have access to)...it's ridiculous. I know they want to protect information, but I don't work with the information they are trying to protect.
