System Logs

---

My phone keeps restarting by itself and I'm guessing something is failing. Does anyone know where I can find system log files like syslog that could have logs about system failures, etc...? I've tried logcat but it only seems to display logs since the last reboot.

Does anyone else get these random reboots? So far I haven't modded anything on my phone, I've only telneted into it and browsed the file system. It's been rebooting on its own ever since I got it. It's running RC28.

You could try running

logcat > /sdcard/log.txt &

Which should in theory dump all the log in a file on your sdcard in the background which you could analyze post-mortem.

Of course I haven't tried, and it might just brick your phone or at least be the cause of the crash. So do at your own risk.

In truth you should call T-Mobile support and ask them.

Thanks for the suggestion. What I've done is use the Android SDK + the USB driver and on my PC I ran "adb logcat > C:\logcat.txt" and I've left it plugged into my PC. So far it has yet to reboot. Kind of annoying that now it doesn't want to reboot by itself when I'm monitoring the logs.

If something happens, I'll post an update.
