Hello Allen,

What is the Android version you have on the Coolpad device?

You seems have broken "run-as" utility in the Android image which prevents debugging native applications.

Is it possible to upgrade Android version on the phone ?

Hi Katya,

the device is Coolpad 8720L , android version is 4.3 , kernel version is 3.4.39.

I can't upgrade the android version on the phone.

the target android app is not listed in /data/system/packages.list , is this relevant ?

here is some information , FYI.

Hi Allen,

If upgrade is not possible, please check this thread on Google side for possible workarounds in v4.3: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58373

The comment #60 looks like a full workaround, though we did not check it from our side, so please follow with assumed risk: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58373#c60

this maybe caused by bug of android 4.3. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17219906/run-as-package-a-b-c-is-unknown-galaxy-s4-jellybean-or-android-4-3

I switched to another android device (android version : 4.04) , but the remote android vtune client seems crashed!

target - Segmentation fault

Segmentation fault

Amplifier cannot detect Android device configuration.

Hi Allen,

Can you please specify a bit more on the new issue:

-  What is the new device HW/OS configuration?  Is it rooted?

-  What is the VTune analysis you try?

- To check that VTune installation is ok on the device please call couple direct commands from a host:

   1.  adb logcat -c <vtune install dir on host>\bin64\amplxe-androidreg.bat -package-command=install 

       The command should dump setup.xxx.log to bin64 dir.

   2. adb logcat -d >logcat.log

   We will need both setup.xxx.log and logcat.log.

Hi Allen,

We will appreciate detailed info and logs as specified below to triage the issue.

1. Is the device rooted ?
2. Please provide output of the command line below:

               >amplxe-python.exe amplxe-runss.py --context-value-list --target-system=android:<DEVICE_NAME> 

3. What is the VTune analysis type you run ? Is it Basic hotspots or something else?
4. Collect logcat log, and if the device is rooted - dmesg log: 
   1. run logcat console:
      1. adb logcat -c
      2. adb logcat >_logcat.log
   2. run dmesg console:
      1. adb shell dmesg -c
      2. adb shell "while true; do dmesg -c; done" >dmesg.log
   3. run VTune analysis, and then send us the logs

Hi Allen,

Please start dumping the logs before VTune start, then we will be able to see what was the last message before system reboot:

1. adb logcat >_logcat.log
2. adb shell "while true; do dmesg -c; done" >dmesg.log

Also from the context-value list it seems the CPU is ARM, and if it's 64-bit, it's not supported either way.
