BugMailer..? SOLVED / ANSWERED

Vangelis13 · Dec 22, 2011

Anyone knows what this is? It randomly asks permission to send out an email or sms. Baffled..

Need to bump this; anyone knows what it is? It looks like it's connected to taking a screen shot by Volume down + power button but not succeeding; this email request comes up then.

Wtf.. I just found some info pointing towards that as well. Android source that sends bug reports to Google without authorisation..??

Yeah, I get this on the CDMA Nexus, too. Running Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast 4.0.3 with his kernel. There is a bugreport binary and a bugmailer.sh that I'm thinking about renaming to prevent it from happening...

.. a quick follow on, you prob have loads of screen shots in your gallery too.

I ran a LogCat on my Galaxy Nexus Device (GSM), and can see before the dump begins it always happens right after the screen state gets set (*** Set_Screen_State 1)

I get usually all of my 'BugMailer' dumps when my phone is on the lock screen or being woken up!

I am also having this issue. By default, it wants to send the Bug Reports to my own email address, not very helpful. Has anyone figured out how to remove this? Or who at Google to send these to so we can annoy them with Reports until they figure out a solution?

Good idea, get a Google email address!

its just an automated bug reporting system. It doesn't send anything without authorization. I have seen this since running 4.0 sdk ports on my nexus s. What always pondered me was the emails it creates are from ME to ME which isn't reporting it to anyone who gives an ish

There is a file in /system/bin called bugmailer.sh if you rename it to something like bugmailer.sh-old then reboot it should stop

Tested on my Nexus S

I bet you it was eating loads of battery as well.. Thanks!!

I love that the code in the bugmailer script has a note that says "Makes it easy to send report to oneself." Thanks?

I agree... Although since I renamed the script, I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

What/how is everyone renaming the file?

I tried the File Manager that came with the ICS Rom (i think its the open kang rom)

and it says "UNABLE TO RENAME".. then "UNABLE TO DELETE" I also tried 2 other file managers off the market but same results

Please what is the best way.. im really fed up of texting someone and it slows down taking a screenshot with personal information displayed then opening gmail with it.. then i look in my drafts every night to find 40+ drafts with bugs and lots of screenshots!

Thanks in advanced!

PS: If possible please give me a why removing it from the phone... my computer with the drivers on decided to die on me so i have no drivers to open the folders (lost the link so cant download to the laptop) If not possilbe (if have to do through comptuer) anyone have the link to download to laptop?

I used root explorer, but your phone must be rooted to use it.
