Event Log (ALT L G L G) Tips!

kingrx · Thread Author #1 09-06-2008, 03:16 AM

A fellow crackberry posted this tip which allows users to access their blackberry's event log just by doing this step:

Holding the "ALT" button and pressing "L G L G" one after another.

Apparently by clearing the memory log, we can free up more memory space.

My question to more experienced crackberry users, will accessing the event log have any negative repercussions? Like deleting logs etc. ?

None whatsoever. In fact I have stopped my BB from creating
an event log altogether. One less thing to have to worry about.

In all my troubleshooting, no one at AT&T, RIM or here has ever
asked me to look at my event log.

How did you prevent it from creating a log?

Once you are have cleared the event log, press menu and select options. Set Min Log Level to WARNING.

Press menu again and and select options and take the check
out of every box. Save, exit and you're done. Good for about
1.5 to 2 meg of memory depending on the apps you have installed.

I also cleared my log and set it to not log anything.

To add to what AG said, if you go into menu and then options and then scroll down to the area where the checkboxes are you can just hit menu again and choose hide all types. This way you don't have to uncheck each box.

And remember, if you upgrade (or downgrade) your OS you'll need to do this all over again.

Thanks Michelle. You know me always doing it the long way

And good point on the u/grade d/grade issue. I forgot that.

Saves a tonne of space on your BB as well..although I left it running on my Bold in case RIM may need the logs for any debugging.

That's nice knowing that some users have it disabled without any problems to their bbs.

Just a question though, what exactly is "Warning", "Information" and "Debug Info"?

I just tried this and I think I lost memory!? My file free dropped from 41 million bytes to 38 million. What's up with that?
