ANR Module
Controls collection of data from Android's "application not responding" (ANR) events. Event data is copied directly from the Android system and saved in a file called trace.txt
or some variant thereof. For example, the ANR event for a post-loaded app would be similar to trace-<app_package_name>.txt
.
Name | Description | Type | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
Enable Module | Enable or disable collection of ANR files | Boolean | true |
Log Path | The storage path for ANR files | String | <RxLogger_Path>/anr/ See Logs for the expanded path represented by <RxLogger_Path> |
Secure Log Path | The storage path for secure ANR files | String | <Secure_RxLogger_Path>/anr/ See Logs for the expanded path represented by <Secure_RxLogger_Path> |
BTSnooplog Module
The BTSnooplog Module captures Bluetooth HCI (Host Controller Interface) snoop logs from the device, containing all Bluetooth transmissions made on the connected Bluetooth peripheral. Logs are stored in the folder <RxLogger_Path>/btsnooplog/
. Bluetooth HCI snoop log is saved as hci_snoop<YYYYMMDDhhmmss>.cfa
. At any time, there can be a maximum of 2 files, with each file reaching up to 64 MB in size. When a newer .CFA log reaches its maximum size, RxLogger overwrites the older .CFA log with the latest HCI details. RxLogger must be stopped before BTSnooplog log files can be collected.
Notes:
- BTSnooplog is not supported on TC15 and TN28 devices.
- When a Bluetooth peripheral is paired and BTSnooplog module is enabled, expect Bluetooth to disconnect and re-connect to the peripheral as required for BTSnooplog to start capturing snoop logs. This also occurs when any changes are made to BTSnooplog configuration.

- System
- Event
- Radio
- Main
- Crash
Module options allow data from any or all enabled buffers to be stored in separate files or in a single combined file. Output is stored in a series of numbered text files (i.e. Main0.txt

generated by Qualcomm tools and stored in the <RxLogger_Path>/qxdm/cfg
folder.
For SD660 devices, Qxdm Module appears only for WAN devices. For newer chipsets such as SD6490 and SD6375, it appears on both WAN and WLAN devices due to the added battery filter.

Recovery Module
The Recovery Module captures recovery/OSupdate logs as well as Android's Rescue Party logs from the device.

If a bootloop is detected, Android sends out a "rescue party" to perform a series of actions in attempts to recover the device. As a last resort, Rescue Party reboots the device into recovery mode and prompts the user to perform a factory reset. Recovery logs are stored in folder <RxLogger_Path>/recovery
, e.g. sdcard/RxLogger/recovery
.

Captures device information and system statistics at each "moment in time" to determine the health and behavior of device resources over a specified period. Outputs a single text file containing collected metrics for selected parameters for each specified interval. Though similar to the Resource module in function, Snapshot captures more precise data, including threads and dumpsys details along with a device fingerprint header for each file.

Instant Logging Module
Instant Logging simplifies the process of capturing logs by offering the ability to capture specific logs on-demand when needed. This feature is particularly beneficial for diagnosing issues on the device. Simply select the type of log to capture (such as battery, Bluetooth, scanner, audio, cellular, or WiFi), set the logging duration, and start the capture. The logging process automatically terminates once the designated time period elapses. The logs can then be accessed and retrieved from the device.
Logs captured with Instant Logging can be identified by the presence of the text "Single-Touch" at the beginning of the log content, signifying the log type. If Instant Logging is not used, this identifier is replaced with the term "Legacy."
Name | Description | Type | Value(s) |
---|---|---|---|
Enable Module | Enable or disable Instant Logging | Boolean | false (default) true |
Select Module | Choose zero, one or two log options to capture in addition to the default RxLogger logs. If no selection is made, only the default logs are captured: • ANR • Kernel • Logcat • Ramoops • Resource • Snapshot • Tombstone * Note: Refer to the table below for use in the configuration file (config.json). |
List | Battery (captures QXDM logs with battery filter applied) Bluetooth (captures BTSnooplog logs) Scanner (captures defaultLogcat logs) Audio (captures QXDM logs with audio filter applied) Cellular (captures QXDM logs with default-lite filter applied) WiFi (captures Kernel logs with logcat integration for single file output) |
Log Duration (sec) | Define the time interval for log capture. Note: Integers are designated for use in the configuration file (config.json). |
List | None (continuously logs) (0) 30 min (1) 1 hour (2) 2 hours (3) 3 hours (4) 4 hours (5) |

Launch Instant Logging
Select one of the following methods to launch Instant Logging, which opens the Report an Issue screen:
- Power Menu - Launch the power menu (press and release the power button), then tap on RxLogger.
- Notification Drawer - Swipe down the notification drawer on the device, then tap RxLogger.
Instant Logging shortcut; RxLogger started. Instant Logging shortcut; RxLogger stopped. - App Shortcut - Tap and hold the RxLogger icon, then tap Report a bug... from the menu that appears.
Instant Logging shortcut; RxLogger started. Instant Logging shortcut; RxLogger stopped.
Log Capture
To quickly capture logs with Instant Logging:
In the main RxLogger screen, activate the Report a bug on single touch option. The Settings tile changes to a different graphic.
RxLogger main screen. Enable single touch. Select zero, one or two of the following log types to capture in addition to the default RxLogger logs. If no selection is made, only the default logs are captured. See Instant Logging for more information.
Optionally, enable Log duration. Adjust the slider to specify the duration for capturing the logs:
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
- 2 hours
- 3 hours
- 4 hours
If Log Duration is enabled, it generates single, separate log files for each of the following logs: Main, System, Event, Crash, Radio, and Kernel. Each Instant Logging session creates new files. Logging automatically stops once the log duration is reached.
If Log Duration is disabled, logs are continously captured on a rotating basis based on the Kernel Module and Logcat Module file options (file count and file size). For Logcat, file options are individually specified for each logcat buffer: Main, System, Event, Crash, and Radio.
Tap Start Logging. A countdown timer at the bottom of the screen shows the remaining time. Logging automtically stops when the timer reaches zero.
