I was playing around with my tablet and testing my program, when there was a notification that said bug report captured and whether I would like to share it. I had not seen this message before so I clicked Yes, and then I clicked OK on the warning dialog box that asked me to share it only with people I trust. After that the gmail app opened up which had a screenshot of my tablet, as well as a file attached to it called bugreport<some numbers, date and time I think>.txt. I did not send the bug report as I was not sure what it was and where it would go. However my question is,
what exactly is this bug report?
Is it generated by the code that I was testing? Or is it generated by the android system itself?
Did I trigger something unknowingly when I pressed the hardware buttons (the tablet only has 3 hardware buttons, volume up/down and power)?
I have been trying but I cannot make that message appear again, and when I search for bug*.txt using my file viewer app, I cannot find the file. Where is that .txt fil that got attached to the bug report get saved on my tablet?
It's because you have turned on USB debugging in Developer Options. You can create a bug report by holding the power + both volume up and down.
Edit: This is what the forums say:
By pressing Volume up + Volume down + power button, you will feel a vibration after a second or so, that's when the bug reporting initiated.
To disable:
/system/bin/bugmailer.sh must be deleted/renamed.
There should be a folder on your SD card called "bug reports".
