1037783 - A lot of repeated lines of output are shown in `adb logcat` when launching Camera app by swiping to the left at lockscreen

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1037074

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Camera, defect)

Attachment: Sample `adb logcat` output

Turn on Lockscreen via Settings, turn off display, turn it on again. Instead of swiping right to unlock, swipe left to go into the Camera app instead. On or around the time the permissions dialog comes up - I chose not to share but also not remember this setting, `adb logcat` output becomes very noisy and a list of top duped lines after having the camera app open for 5-10 seconds include:

(The initial numbers are the number of times it appeared as a duplicate in the log)

 757 E/mm-camera(  370): msg_bus_post_msg: bus_msg type is not valid
 685 E/mm-camera(  370): stats_port_event: Failure posting to the bus!
 472 E/mm-camera(  370): mct_stream_fill_metadata_v1:1119 Unsupported message type
 201 E/mm-camera-CORE(  370): ####Grid####: 000 000, 000 000, 000 000, 000 000 000 000, 000 000, 000 000, 000 376
  80 V/GonkBufferQueue(14426): dequeueBuffer: w=640 h=480 fmt=0x11 usage=0x40020000

I ran: cat sampleLog.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -r

Can we please not have the logs be so noisy? i.e. have the messages not repeat themselves 757 times for the top line. This makes it very difficult to look for errors in the log, and inflates them unnecessarily.

Setting needinfo? from Justin, a Camera peer.

AFAIK, this is the camera driver output that causes the noise. Flagging Mike for info to see if we can maybe turn this off.

[Mike Habicher [:mikeh] (high bugzilla latency)]

This is indeed output from the camera driver, and there's little we can do about it without input from vendors/CAF. We have opened bug 1037074 and bug 1037083 to trach POVB changes to improve this.

This is a dupe.
