XperiaX - Android apps not working

Bug Reports

Works for me on XperiaX in both 4.0.1.45 and 4.0.1.48.

To look at the logs it’s probably easiest

  1. Under “Settings → Developer tools” enable “Developer mode” and “Remote connection”
  2. Connect the phone to you computer using USB and select “Developer mode” when prompted
  3. ssh into the device from your computer (If you have Windows PuTTY might be the program to use)
  4. Become super user using devel-su and the same password as shown for remote connections (be cautious, you have the powers to make your phone completely unusable now!)
  5. Run journalctl -f to watch what is being written to the log
  6. Start the program in question on the phone, the log is updated in your ssh session
  7. Don’t forget to press Control-C to stop the log output and Control-D to leave super user mode before an accident happens

This is the general system log which has helped me to solve a problem (caused by myself) with the 4.0.1.15 upgrade. There is also a dedicated Android log IIRC. Don’t remember by heart now how to read it, it’s somewhere in the forums.
