samsung s3 logcat messages

Question

In my Samsung S3 phone application specific logcat messages are not coming. I have installed aLogcat application. Logcat messages like "SensorManager : Set normal delay = true" kind of messages are coming in the logcat application.

But in my app I have following statements in button click event.

            Log.i("start", "testing");
            Log.d("Log.d", "Log.d");
            Log.e("Log.e", "Log.e");

These messages are not coming in the logcat application in the S3 device. But the same messages are coming in the eclipse emulator.

see if this link helps. http://stackoverflow.com/q/2250112/2021499 — D'yer Mak'er, Apr 03 '13 at 11:18

aLogCat application has an issue since JELLY BEAN android version.... Its manifest doesnt declare READ_LOGS permission...

To use it, you can download Terminal Emulator or simply use ADB, then input:

pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS

And reboot your phone or force close & reopen aLogCat

Thanks for your answer. But when I tried the above command in adb shell I got the error "Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.GRANT_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS." – developerXXX Apr 03 '13 at 11:34
Do this : `adb shell`, then `su`, then posted command... That way you will have superuser rights to do that. – BamsBamx Apr 03 '13 at 12:07
I dont have root permission in the device. Is that the problem? When I tried su, it also gives an error like 'su' not found... – developerXXX Apr 03 '13 at 13:27
It seems that not being rooted is the cause... You could try rooting your device, although there should be a way to do that without rooting it. I cant investigate it, because i am not at home now :) – BamsBamx Apr 03 '13 at 18:17
Try this command directly. Lets see if it works `adb shell pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS` – BamsBamx Apr 03 '13 at 18:22
If that didnt work, you will havecto root your device, dont worry its easy :) First install a custom recovery and the flash this .zip `http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip` – BamsBamx Apr 04 '13 at 09:21
pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS worked in my Google Nexus phone. It have root access. Thanks – developerXXX Apr 09 '13 at 11:37

Did you try using a shell/terminal emulator? I use ROM ToolBox's inbuilt command prompt and launch logcat from there by using the command "adb logcat"
