cannot see app name in the traces

[milindhg]

Hi, I'm a grad student from indiana university Bloomington and have undertaken a project in mobile computing course. I'm using ARO to study games on android and check for any inefficiencies in tcp connections and radio resource consumptions. I'm testing on a non rooted device with cable. After my test is complete I try to analyses the charts and statistics. However I have an issue in isolating the traces for the game under analysis since the charts and statistics in ARO shows a lot of unknown apps but no app names in traces.
Kindly suggest a way I may be able to track down the resource consumption of my game in focus.

Thank you.

Hi,

I just saw your post.

Are you using a rooted device and the rooted ARODataCollector.apk? Or are you using the VPN method?

The VPN method will not collect the process name - since it requires root permissions. If you root your device and test, you'll get the process name.

Sadly, this is a limitation of the non-rooted collector at this time.
