Capture a bug report from a device 

Important notes: 

● Use a device with a​ userdebug build​ when possible (userdebug builds have 
persistent logcat in Q+). 
● Capture a bug report​ immediately after​ when the error is observed. 
● (Optional) Record a video with h
​ h:mm:ss timer ​on the screen. 
○ *There are 3rd party apps which support this feature. 

To get a bug report directly from your device, do the following: 

1. Be sure you have ​Developer Options​ enabled. 

2. [Optional] $
​ adb logcat -c 
○ This clears logcat messages. Run this once in a while. 
3. Enable verbose logging for Dialer. 
○ adb shell setprop log.tag.Telecom VERBOSE  
○ adb shell setprop log.tag.Telephony VERBOSE  
○ adb shell setprop log.tag.InCall VERBOSE  
○ adb shell setprop log.tag.TelecomFramework VERBOSE  
○ adb shell setprop log.tag.ImsCall VERBOSE  
○ adb shell setprop log.tag.Dialer VERBOSE  
4. Increase the logger buffer size.  
○ You can increase the Logger buffer sizes to 16M to increase the duration it can 
retain logs for. The option is found in Settings -> System -> Developer Options 
-> Logger buffer sizes 
5. In D
​ eveloper options​, tap ​Take bug report​. 
6. Select the type of bug report you want and tap ​Report​. 
○ After a moment you get a notification that the bug report is ready. 
7. Attach the bug report in a submitted bug.
