Logs are the best way for us to find out what causes your problems with the application. Creating an error message/log varies according to the version of Android:

  • Open the settings of your device and make sure you can access “Developer Options”. In case that you do not see this option in the settings list, please follow the instructions here >>.
  • Repeat the action in Locus that causes the crash
  • Move to the above-mentioned “Developer Options” in the settings of your device
  • Enable USB debugging  
  • Select Take Bug Report

 


  • Wait a few minutes for the report to be created (it may take up to 15 minutes)
  • the log report should appear in your notification bar. From there (or from “Developer options”), you may send it via email to help@locusgis.com or better, upload to a Dropbox/Google Drive and share it with us (reports can be bigger than 15 MB and then they are not correctly attached to email!).

After tapping the “Take bug report” you are offered two types of report - Interactive and Full. Select Interactive.
