Cannot get Android Logcat working

Unity Engine
,
1

I installed the package. I have the window but I never see anything logged even with no filters. I am able to get screen captures so it must surely be connected. It is a development build. What am I missing?

in logcat window top right corner in ‘…’, there’s internal log, try checking it out

Don’t see anything odd. This shows after it gets a screnshot too. Not sure if the Filtering line at the bottom is relevant. Oh, and this is Unity 2021.2.7f1 and the package was installed today.

I guess - open terminal from logcat window, and try to execute adb logcat yourself, it’s not the first time I see logcat not working on LG phones, maybe there’s some setting in Developer Options which disables logcat, maybe worth checking.

P.S I see you’re filtering by package, so while unlikely, maybe your package doesn’t print anything to logcat?

If I set No filter it still doesn’t come up with anything. I use Android Studio normally and that is working fine. Not sure what command line to use (as use Studio normally)

Hmmm, just plugged in a Huawei MediaPad M5 and it works. So is looking like an LG related issue. :frowning:
