Developer unlock

I went to nokia store yesterday and i was told that the only way to transfer .xap files from windows store in my pc to my lumia 925 without sd card is to do a developer unlock. My question is, how many .xap files can i transfer to my developer unlocked phone downloaded to my pc? Because some says i can only transfer 10 .xap files but others say i can transfer unlimited .xap files downloaded from windows store in pc to lumia device.

  • I am unable to developer unlock my phone.

    Every time I am getting this message
    "Make sure Windows IpOverUsb Service is running"
    I checked for the services and the service is also running.
    I have tried restarting the service many times but I am always getting this message.
     I have reinstalled the VS2013 also but am stuck with this problem. 

    Hi, Rakshit TewariThe cause of the error
    is that the service “Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc)” is not running. It is very simple to resolve in error.
    Simple header over to services.msc. Look for “Windows Phone IP over
    USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc)”, the status should be empty. Right click on it and select Start.
    To fix this error in your windows 8.1 development
    machine:
    1) Open Search and type Services and select settings.
    2) Open Computer Services.
    3) Look for "Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc)" service.
    4) Change the startup type to automatic and click on Start button.
    5) Try to deploy your application and everything works fine!

  • I have a "Security Unlocked" HTC 8x that will not download updates. Is there a way to push updates to it?

    So I destroyed the LCD on my first 8x and had to get a replacement. I bought another 8x on ebay and it turns out that it is "Security Unlocked". I apparently have full access to the bootloader and can enter all sorts of fun modes by pressing buttons
    during bootup. But I am unable to install any OTA updates to the phone. When I search for updates on the phone it tells me that my device is up to date (my current version is 8.0.900.568). If I attempt to install language packs, I just get an error "Couldn't
    download. Tap to retry".
    When I boot to "bootloader mode", which displays lots of numbers and bar codes, the indications are that this phone was shipped from HTC this way and was not hacked by a previous owner. I suspect the ebay seller got it like this new. The ebay seller
    has not responded to any of my messages.
    HTC support has been less than helpful (though the support agent did try his best to help me out) and Windows Phone support believed I was referring to "Developer unlocked" and said I would probably have better luck here. I have registered the
    phone with Visual Studio and have so far been unsuccessful at finding any way to push updates to the phone directly, but I'm not sure at all where to look. Right now I just have VS Express with the WP SDK installed, but I can install VS 2013 Pro on here if
    I need to.
    Since it is security unlocked, I supposedly have access to all sorts of gooey parts of the phone, including potentially the OS partition. I have the technical skill and ability to perform whatever official or unofficial or unsupported tasks might be involved
    in getting this thing to work like a normal phone. I just don't have the esoteric knowledge to do so.
    So the original question - are there any hacks I can do to make it function like a regular phone and download updates OTA? (To be clear, I am not trying to hack the phone, I'm trying to UNhack the phone.) Is there a way to push updates with Visual Studio
    or in some other way?

    I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
    I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

  • Trying to deploy C++ UAP from VS2015 prompts to set developer mode

    Error : DEP0100 : Deployment failed due to a Developer Licensing issue. Could not obtain a developer license due to error 800704C7.

  • Application launch failed. Ensure that the device screen is unlocked - after the phone update

    I have the following error "
    Error    1    Application launch failed. Ensure that the device screen is unlocked and device is developer unlocked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.         0    0 
    I'm pretty sure it happened after the last update. I was able to use my phone as a dev one before
    and my account shows it as a registered device.
    The OS version is 7.10.8107.79.
    The steps that I tired
    -Registered again my phone with the registration tool
    -Check the issue with Zune auto-launcher (zune isn't syncing and the phone is connected)
    -Close and start everything again
    Other possible issues
    - Do I have to have sdk 7.1 to deploy?
    - Do I have to wait 24h for registration?

    You should be using SDK 7.1 anyway, so install that.
    After the update, the phone may have locked itself.  This may not be reflected in your AppHub account though.  Using the Developer Registration Tool, register the device, unregister it, then register it again.

  • Can't access the zGesture Bester,zSensor view,zStart KITL and zSysteminfo in my lg-c900 windows 7 phone by AT&T

    If those Apps exist on your phone it means that you own a phone that was provisioned for provider testing and which should not have been sold. This is likely the cause for the inability to update it.
    Without an updated version the phone won't be able to access the store at all. Developer unlocking of 7.x phones is also no longer possible since the start of 2015.
    You might be able to get the Apps working again by resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby losing all data) although given that it has failed updates it might also brick the device - there's not really a way to tell.
    This forum also isn't really concerned with end user questions - it deals with questions on Third Party App development - so I doubt anyone here can give you more specific help with fixing that issue.

  • Windows phone app not deploying completely to device from Visual Studio

    At various times I have noticed the app package doesn't update completely when using Visual Studio to deploy directly to a developer-unlocked device.  The symptoms are always that some updates are not reflected, and debugging reveals the problem. 
    The solution is to completely uninstall the app from the device and deploy again.  After redeployment, with NO binary package changes, the updates now work.
    This is an unpredictable, intermittent problem.  My test devices are 1020s, a 925, and a 1520.  I have thus far mainly noticed the problem on the 1020.
    Environment:
    Windows 8.1 Pro dev system
    VS 2013 Ultimate Update 4
    Windows Store 8.1 "universal" project
    Lumia 1020 (about shows "NOKIA 909"), running latest WP8.1 Update (Lumia Cyan)
    Mark Jones, Owner MJ App Factory

    Hi Mark,
    Q. How is app data affected during development with multiple build/deploy cycles?
    A. As you develop an app, app data is normally preserved across build iterations. However, changing the manifest triggers a full uninstall and redeployment from within Visual Studio, and that deletes any existing app data. To manually preserve that app data,
    copy the contents of the %localappdata%packages<your package>folder to a temporary location, build and redeploy the app, and then copy the app data back. Note that this redeployment behavior in Visual Studio is a separate matter from updating
    an app from the Store or via side-loading, in which case the deployment engine does not uninstall the previous version and app data is therefore preserved.

  • I NEED TO ALLOW AN APPLICATION FROM AN UNKNOWN SOU...

    Hello,
    The company I work for need me to download an app on my phone but first I have to allow apps from unknown sources.
    The guidance is based on a Samsung smartphone and advises me to go to settings, then security then unknown sources. However I cannot find anything resembling this on my Nokia phone having searched through settings in the phone and on internet explorer and in apps.
    Can anyone advise how I can overcome this problem ASAP?
    Thank you
    Claire

    You can only side-load apps on a developer unlocked phone. What you are describing is the way Android does this.
    On Windows Phone once unlocked you copy the app to the SDcard and install it from their or use the developer tools. Which phone do you refer to and what app are you trying to install. Obviously you can't install an Android app onto a Windows Phone device.

    You can't unless you have paid to get your 920 developer unlocked. For security and anti-piracy normal users can only install apps from the store.

    Your phone is only developer unlocked if you have paid to have it unlocked. Even when it is unlocked it can still only run apps that are designed to work on that phone and software.

  • Nokia 1020 battery drain rates.. mine typical?

    I recently got the 1020.. i've installed a battery app.. at one point, post a MS update that i got through dev channels, had issues with massive battery drain.. around 20 percent per hour.. 
    So i reset the phone to factory defaults, per some threads around here.. also tried running with very few apps.. saw around 3.5 percent per hour after that, at least till i put some apps back on it..
    This is with wifi, bluetooth and lte on.
    My usage throughout the day is minimal.. no videos typically.. just web page hits or email checks or message checks etc.. i turn the phone "off" / standby when not in use typically.. maybe have it on say 45 minutes out of the day without turning it off.. and the rest here and there for email checking.
    A few days in row.. start off with 100% around 9am.. by 515 its at 38-40%.. (the recharge rate varies between 25-40%, depending on which recharger i'm using.. i have usb charge ports for the wall.. some are 1 amp, some 2.. not sure this matters on charging)..
    Right now i checked the phone.. it shows a 6.8 percent discharge rate.. i really havent seen anything below 5 in awhile now.. it can peak at 11-14 when doing a mix of web/videos etc for 15 minutes.
    I do have 2 active tiles and a lot of things pinned.. maybe three swipes worth to get to the bottom if that..
    Can anyone comment on their discharge rates.. does this sound normal.. thinking maybe swapping it at the store if they have them there, before my 30 days runs out.. not sure if nokia warranty goes beyond that or not and i'm guessing no advanced replacement if needed.
    Thanks in advance

    I have a Lumia 920 that is out of warranty, and has been having battery issues for quite a while. I have to add, my phone is developer unlocked. My phone currently dischrages about 20% per hour, or so it says. I restart the phone, and my battery level goes back up, and basic math tells me it is really discharging less than 2% per hour. I have to reset the phone about three or four times a day. Since it is developer unlocked, I wrote an app using the battery API. There are only a few items you can return from the battery API, the ESTIMATED battery % remaining, and the ESTIMATED time remaining. There is also an event that is supposed to fire when the battery % drops 1%. If you don't understand programming, and event is something that happens in code that when it does happen, you can write code to execute when that event happens. So in my app, I can clearly see the battery % drop, the time drop, but the EVENT never fires. I have had battery apps installed, and they mimick the same results I am getting. Also, they never update the battery remaining % or time on live tiles, which tells me the event is not firing in their code either. I have an open discussion in Windows Phone developer forums about this. I just got a 1520, and am going to try and side load the app without developer unlocking the phone to see if the same behavior occurs. Since my phone is out of warranty, I also tried a new battery, but same behavior. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware issue, but a software issue, at least in my case. When your battery runs down, have you tired rebooting your phone to see if the battery level comes back up?

  • Lumia 1020 Black update in Sweden?

    Does anyone know when the Lumia Black update is scheduled for release in Sweden?
    To what I can read it shoulkd have been released but that the device needs get the go ahead from the serviceprovioder (phonecompany, in my case 3 Sweden).
    What I am especially interested in is the DNG support.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The only thing that has been released so far is Microsoft's portion of the forthcoming "big" update, formerly known as GDR3, now simply known as "Update 3". But even that is only available as a developer preview that can be installed on developer unlocked phones.
    It is, however, Nokia's "Lumia Black" part of the update that is going to provide DNG support, not Microsoft's "Update 3".
