In the event that you encounter a problem using Lotus Notes Traveler on your Android device and you are unable to resolve the problem on your own, you can enable logging, reproduce and record the problem, and submit your troubleshooting logs to the System Administrator. | Using the Android, the user encounters a problem, resulting in an error message |

You can view the information collected in the log file under the Tools menu in the Lotus Notes Traveler program. | Select Menu > Tools > View Log. |
With logging now enabled, attempt to reproduce the problem. To help your System Administrator resolve your issue, it is important to demonstrate the problem with logging turned on. | Reproduce the problem, generating the same error message |

The report is placed on the SD card of your Android device. | Select Menu > Tools > Report Problem > Export; the Android places the logs on the SD card. |
Connect your Android device to a computer using a USB cable, or use another method to get the Traveler Problem Report zip file on your computer.

Then, use the Problem Report feature of the Lotus Notes Traveler servlet to upload the compressed file. Include as much detail as possible and the steps they should follow to reproduce the problem. | The Lotus Notes Traveler status screen displays on the Traveler server. Click Report a Problem.
