Comment (by eighthave):

 Sigh, that's how the Android ecosystem can be, unfortunately.  How old was
 that device?  E.g. what Android version was it running?  I don't think its
 worth spending much effort on Android older than 7.0 (`android-24`), since
 they don't even receive security updates from Google.  I think dealing
 with quirks for older than 5.1 (`android-22` released 2015) would not be
 worth spending any time.

 If this happens with recent Android versions, it seems that logcat could
 be kept.  I don't think @n8fr8 or I have encountered that since Orbot has
 always used `syslog`.  There is always `--Log "debug file
 /data/data/org.torproject.android/debug.log"`
