Hi all I have recently upgraded my android  phone and installed xcsoar 7.42 I have read the manual but am not getting a log file produced (that I can find) in the usual place of XCDATA/LOGS. The folder xcdata is there but no log folder or file after landing and exiting xcsoar. It worked fine on my old phone but is not working on my samsung galaxy S24+ any ideas. I havent tried?

Thanks

Cliff

Android charged the way applications can store files and it's confusing where they're now located. However XCsoar has a shortcut in the location menu, when you go to upload the file to OLC, click the "hamburger" menu button to left and scroll down to the bottom. See attached screenshot, XCsoar has an entry and once you click on that, you can see the traditional XCsoar file structure.

Yes thanks Elijah I found it. But it is interesting if I use a "file manager" I cannot locate it anywhere on the phone.

Cliff-

 

How do you like the brightness of the screen using XC Soar on the G24+?

 

Thanks.  My old Galaxy Note 4 was better than my current Google Pixel 6 for readability in sunlight, and the white case of the Note worked better without overheating than the black case of the Pixel phone.

 

Kind Regards,

Chris Behm

Chris, Its pretty good its brighter than the A 53 I was using in the duo we had. Im only using it in the club planes for logging now but it is the best Ive seen in awhile!

Let's see how they survive this summer, my pixel 6 shut down from overheating several times last summer.

I am a huge fan of WHITE cell phone cases, for that reason, and just easier to find on the floor of a car’s black interior.

Not sure how much the white case helps with heat, but it has to be something….

The white NOTE 4 I had never overheated, ever.

 

Kind Regards,

Hi Cliff, 

 Yeah, you really have to drill down to find the files. But try 
andriod->  data->org.xcsoar->files->logs 

Hope that helps.

How about "no case at all"? I suspect many cases insulate the phone and prevent it from losing heat as rapidly as possible. Without a case, it's easy to improve cooling by mounting a tiny  12 volt   computer fan (30 or 40 mm square) behind to phone to blow air on the backside. Really helped with my iPhone 6+

Thanks Greg, thats probably where its at. When on my phone I go to Android/data it comes up with "due to restrictions this data may only be viewed on a computer"

Hi, Eric-

I am referring to the case that the phone comes in, not a protective outer shell….

White is better than black for heat rejection.

 

Kind Regards,

Chris

Cliff,
If you have the standard RJ45 cable between your flarm and display (lx or other) and its set to the default 19200 baud, you can use this http://www.soartronic.net/products BT2 to split off traffic data over bluetooth to make traffic visible on XCSoar. This device intercepts the RJ45 and duplicates the NMEA traffic data wirelessly.
It adds a lot of context, allows for easy 2 finger panning, and shows 30s avg climb rates for traffic.
