Eclipse needs to be restarted frequently for logcat to work properly

As an Android developer, I am facing issue with Logcat integration in Eclipse. Most of the times, it works fine, but I sometimes have to restart Eclipse in order to have those useful log lines back. This occurs especially when I restart the test-dedicated handset. Do you know if there's a way to make it work properly?

For me what works is to hit the [x] clear button to clear the logcat messages. In my case eclipse hanged because of the large number of logcat messages being displayed.

If you're having problems after restarting your device try highlighting it in the devices view and resetting adb as seen in the following image:

Happens to me a lot, best tip i've been given is Window->Open Perspective->Other->DDMS.

Switch to this perspective, select your running instance in the Devices pane and Logcat starts showing output again.

The command line version is probably the best way to use logcat.

I use adb logcat through the Windows command prompt. You can get as many lines as you want using that.
