iPhone log reader [closed]
I went to the apple store today to discuss a problem with my iPhone battery, and they plugged it into one of their macs and used an application that interpreted the logs stored on my phone.
So, my question is, does anybody know the name of the application that reads the logs, and if so, where it is available?
Since it is a diagnostic tool, I'm guessing it won't be openly available, but I thought i would ask anyway.
Solution 1:
Apple does have some custom applications that allow them to read more information from the phone, however you can use iPhone Configuration Utility (Windows version) to view the iPhone's console log by plugging in your iPhone/iPod touch and selecting it under the Devices section in the sidebar.
Solution 2:
The app crash logs and baseband logs are synced to your PC/Mac when you sync the phone with iTunes. For example on my PC they can be found and viewed with a text editor by browsing to:
C:\Documents and Settings\andy\Application Data\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\Andys iPhone
Solution 3:
There are many log viewers for iOS, just search for "Console log" in the app store.
App names:
- Consolelog
- System Console
- System Log
- Console
Solution 4:
Apple's iPhone Configuration utility will let you view the syslog on your iPhone in real time.
Plug in the device, right click on it and select Get Info. Then select Console from the menu on the left.
Download it from the App Store
