title: Why are my Android logcat logs being lost on device boot up?
body: <p>I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue on a users phone with my app.  Essentially the widgets are failing to update on start-up of the device.  This user is now sending me log files (captured via the excellent <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat" rel="nofollow">CatLog</a>).  However on boot up I am only seeing two debug log statements in this users logs when I should be seeing 20-30 (as I do on my phone).  What is strange is that these two statements are in the middle of the various processes and code which do the updates so its definitely already executed some of my log statements.  Any ideas as to why some of these statements are missing?  There's a lot going on on this users phone and many processes are being killed by the OS.  Should I then assume that some of these logs are never being recorded?</p>
