I know how to filter out messages in LogCat, so that’s not what I am asking about.
The problem is that certain phones are “noisier” than others and flood the LogCat buffer to the point of triggering a bug that makes it discard newer messages.
This problem doesn’t happen on the Nexus One, but it does happen with the Samsung Continuum i400, for example.
Is there a way to tell Android or LogCat to completely discard (i.e. not filter) messages from certain processes?
“Clear Log” sometimes works.
And sometimes it doesn’t.
When “Clear Log” doesn’t help, there is no need to restart Eclipse. All you have to do is show the
Devicesview in the DDMS perspective and the LogCat message will magically start appearing again.You can then close the
Devicesview (if you don’t need it).
