Suggested change
setting across device reboots.
setting across device reboots, e.g. `adb shell setprop persist.log.tag.WPEWebKit VERBOSE`.
Android logs can then be visualised with `logcat`:
`adb logcat -s WPEWebKit`

(Sorry, I cannot nest code blocks inside suggestions, but the logcat thing should be one)
