I'm having trouble with ADB Logcat.

What I did: (in my android device, I'm using LG G6):

  • turned USB debugging on
  • connected the device to the computer

(in my computer)

  • used windows powershell
  • cd AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

I did .\adb devices and the output is List of devices attached LGH870DSe2cfa712 device

I did .\adb logcat -s Unity ActivityManager PackageManager dalvikvm DEBUG and it showed nothing. It worked normally a few days ago.

when I disconnected the device, the adb automatically stopped the logcat. I tried doing adb when no devices are connected and it showed -waiting for devices-, then I connected the device and nohthing happened.

I then tried another device (Asus Zenfone 3 max) and the powershell showed this:

PS C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> .\adb logcat -s Unity ActivityManager PackageManager
dalvikvm DEBUG
--------- beginning of crash

  • I've had something (not exactly) similiar happen before, but in my case the authorization for ADB got corrupted. I fixed it by revoking all ADB authorizations. To do this you can go to developer options -> ADB debuggig -> Revoke all ADB authorizations. It may be worth a shot for your case aswel. After doing this you have to grant acces for ADB debugging when connecting to your pc again though. – Remy Nov 26 '18 at 09:41
  • @remy_rm just tried that and nothing happened – TheSuspect74 Nov 26 '18 at 10:17
  • Try this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17432358/android-studio-logcat-nothing-to-show – royatirek Nov 26 '18 at 11:01
  • @royatirek tried using `.\adb kill-server` then `.\adb start-server` nothing happened – TheSuspect74 Nov 27 '18 at 02:52

Here is something I noticed.

I have a couple of devices that shows nothing when I run adb logcat, but logcat works if I see the log in Android Studio. When that happens, I run adb shell -t logcat, which seems to work.

What is you adb version and LG G6 version?

adb 1.0.39 work well with LG G6 (android7) if you need adb logcat .

adb 1.0.40 and 1.0.41 unable work with LG G6 (android7) .
