Getting "F/vendor.qti.esepowermanager" error on logcat continuously when debugging a Flutter app on a real device

Question

I'm new to Flutter and overall Android development. When I run the virtual device from Android Studio, I don't get any errors. However, when I connect my device running on a custom ROM to a laptop (USB debugging enabled and installed Google USB driver from Android Studio), I get the following errors continuously:

$ flutter run

Although I can run the default Flutter app on my Android device, for now, I'm worried it will give me more headaches in the future and it's annoying.

Answer 1

this was a top hit for me for

Unable to create service vendor.qti.data.txpwradmin.StxPwrService

this crash was happening continuously for me after a bad os upgrade, I had to factory reset.

Answer 2

I have contacted the developer of the ROM, Nicholas Magill, and turns out it is not a huge problem, just log spam. According to him, esepowermanager is part of the NQ NFC stack which was disabled and replaced with the AOSP NFC stack.

In order to get rid of the log spam, you can delete /vendor/bin/hw/[email protected] and /vendor/bin/hw/[email protected] in recovery mode (this is probably device special).

I fixed it by flashing a script that he gave me. So it's not a huge problem but could be annoying and precious error messages could be lost in them.

Answer 3

It depends on the OS you are using for running the app on the mobile device. Normally, if you keep USB Debugging and the developer mode on in the mobile device, you won't get any further issues. Just make sure that all the required developer options are toggled on. Generally, keep a good connection both with the mobile and the internet to avoid errors due to lag in the service. For more info, you can run command for flutter doctor on you command prompt. If it shows a tick in front of mobile connection, you are ready to go.
