Where is Bluetooth HCI log of Samsung S8 Android 8.0


When Samsung S8 is running Android 7.1 OS, the Bluetooth HCI log is located in the folder Android/data. But when I updated the device to Android 8.0, the HCI log cannot be found in any folder.

I also tried to generate the hci log through the following commands but it does not work. These commands work fine with my Pixel 2.

adb shell dumpsys bluetooth_manager

adb bugreport > BUG_REPORT.txt

Solution

  • This is tested and verified working for S8, S9, S10+ Android 8.0 through to 9.1:

    Input *#9900# in the dial pad. An engineer mode menu will pop up. Click Run DUMPSTATE/LOGCAT/. Wait. It may take several minutes for this to generate logs. Click Copy To sdcard... or Copy to ext sdcard

    /sdcard/logs will contain an extensive dump of system logs /sdcard/logs/bluetooth/ will contain your timestamped btsnoop_hci_ log files
