Access to log files is disabled by default on Android devices. To resolve problems that may be encountered on Android devices, our support team will require log files from your smartphone/tablet.
Aim
In this How-To, we will show you how to enable the debugging mode in the developer options and create a log file on your Android device.
Implementation

- Then tap on About phone. You will now find the Developer options there.
- In the Developer options, activate USB debugging. Click on OK to acknowledge the warning.
