Hi,
I've had my GS2 now for about seven weeks.
Its crashed (become unresponsive) about 5 times ...generally a week to two weeks apart.
I've tried to use a logging app to retrieve log information so i can figure out if an app is causing the crash.

But the problem is that when I take out the battery and restart, then fire up the logging app (Log Collector) it only gets logs since the phone was restarted.

Which is kinda useless.. cos I want to see what happened Prior to the crash, not After it.

I presume the phone is deleting the logs and starting a fresh logfile on startup. So, does anyone know how i can get the logs to remain?

Or should i use a different log app?

Is there a known list of misbehaving apps?
I have skype and lookout installed.. and wouldn't be surprised if one or both was a problem...


Thanks
Vida
