How to Capture Log Files on Your MotoPlay Super Device

Ever had an app crash constantly or encountered a weird glitch on your phone?​​ When seeking help from tech support or app developers, they’ll often ask for a ​log file. This behind-the-scenes record of your device’s activity is crucial for diagnosing the problem. Don’t worry – capturing it is easier than you think! Here’s how:

What Are Log Files (Logcats)?

Think of logs as your Android device’s detailed diary. They constantly record events, app behavior, system messages, and especially ​errors​ (crashes, freezes, bugs). This raw data helps pinpoint exactly what went wrong.

Why Capture Logs?

  • App Crashes/Freezes:​​ Identify the specific cause.
  • Battery Drain:​​ See which app/process is working overtime.
  • Connectivity Issues:​​ Troubleshoot Wi-Fi/Bluetooth problems.
  • Performance Slowdowns:​​ Find resource hogs.
  • Reporting Bugs:​​ Give developers concrete evidence.

Method:

Step 1: Prepare SD Card

  1. 📦 ​Unzip downloaded firmware:
    • File: C7_Super_181F_C9902A_1024x600_GT911_JLK_ruihao_2025062501_OPEN_SD_LOG_tmp or C5_Super_181E_C9902A_DDR128M_1024x600_GT911_ruihao_2025072501_OPEN_SD_LOG
  2. 💾 ​Copy to SD card:
