Hi there
As this is going to be openly discussed now, im going to post this information from my 'experimentations' of developers mode:
Note: To disable dev mode settings, you must factory reset the tv.
A couple of things you need to do:
• Put tv into developers mode
• Download Android SDK Tools
SDK Tools are from:
https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows.zip
You can also use Remote ADB Shell from Google Play Store on another android device if you dont want to use a windows pc or install the SDK above - this is what im using on my Z4 Tablet.
On the TV
1. Goto Settings > About and highlight Build. Press OK on the remote control 7 times.
2. Go back to the main settings menu and see if developer mode options are there. If not press and hold the power button on the remote control for 6-10 seconds to force s reboot. They should now be present upon reboot (it was for me)
3. Go into developer settings > monitoring and enable logcat
4. In debugging menu, enable adb
How to use
1. On your pc, go into command prompt/console and go into the folder where adb.exe was installed (part of the sdk tools installed above)
2. Ensure you know the tvs ip adress
3. Type ‘adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx’ the ip address of the tv
4. A message should pop up on the tv to accept connection.
5. You should now be able to use adb commands
If using Remote ADB Shell on another android device
- Run the app
- Type in the TVs ip address and the port is 5555
- See part 4 and 5 above
Commands:
adb logcat -v time *: E
The "* E" ensures that you only can see errors or worse things. Warnings, or other status messages are not interesting for us. With "CTRL + C" you can pause live watching.
adb logcat> log.txt
adb logcat -v time *: E> log.txt
You can ouput log to a different folder on the tv, such as:
adb logcat > /sdcard/Download/log.txt
