3) Zxing is works good and gives robust out put . it is not supported in windows phone 8.1 takes too much time intervals and giving false data output .
4) Need to maintain same installation (XAP/APPX ) file for all version of Windows Phone because end user makes ambiguity to use old and new version installation .

My Client mentioned our application needs to works on Windows phone 8.1 and above .
Xap file can not run in Windows phone 8.1 so we need to develop Windows phone 8.1 (Appx).
So existed and simple things are made complicated in Windows phone 8.1 .
Please suggest answers for these :-
1) Background GPS Collection is not working in Windows Phone 8.1 , In my case i need to collect GPS in short time interval ( 1 or 2 mins ) But Windows phone 8.1 support Timer Triggers for 30 mins in Back ground Task .
2) Zxing is works good and gives robust out put . it is not supported in windows phone 8.1 takes too much time intervals and giving false data output .

Background agents for Windows Phone scheduled duration

Hi! Sorry for my bad English. Scheduled duration for periodic agents in windows phone is 25 seconds. I want load music for user in background and I use periodic agents, but I need more than 25 seconds. Can I do something like this ?
protected override void OnInvoke(ScheduledTask task)
//Method that load song async
// but we don't wait it in periodic task
LoadSongAsync();
NotifyComplete();

Hi! Background tasks in Windows Phone are intended for small work ítems, to preserve battery life. You can check the ResourceIntensiveTask:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/microsoft.phone.scheduler.resourceintensivetask(v=vs.105).aspx
If you need more tan 25 seconds to play music because you're trying to download it,
as suggested by Eric Fleck, remember you can stream the music from the server.
There is no need to download it.

Submit: Great Skype for Windows Phone ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Phone idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows Phone.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Draft your idea. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is, how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. Please avoid text speak and keep the idea short and to the point. Ideas are available within a limited number of topic sections of the community as they are not discussion threads.
Currently you can choose one of the following topic labels for your ideas:
Video Messaging
We‘ve just launched Video Messaging on Windows Phone so you can now send video messages to family and friends, even when they’re not online. Let us know what you think of Video Messaging on Windows Phone and any ideas you have for how we can make it better.
Phone Integration
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Contacts
How can we make it easier for you to find friends and family on Skype and add them as a contact? What are your thoughts on how contacts are managed on Skype for Windows Phone? Do you have any recommended improvements?
Calling
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Instant Messaging
Video calling is one of Skype’s most popular features. What do/don’t you like about Video calling on Skype for Windows Phone and do you have any ideas for how we can make video calling even better?
Some things to include:
Start with a clear title
add appropriate label(s)
list features and benefits
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's really a significant way to recognize someone's effort. We are using votes as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the left side of the page content tab, and in the left column under the actions heading click “create an idea”. Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Remember, the more complete your thought, the more likely it is to get noticed! You can use simple HTML, format the text, or add links or images. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
Do not be discouraged. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Idea Board all about?
Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.

Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward task, here are some of the things you will see to help you get around.
• New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
• Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
• Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
The sidebar widgets
In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to view only the ideas with certain status', for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
How to check if an idea exists already?
Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic here.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who and how often moderates/ manages the ideas board?
The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a monthly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
I have an idea to improve the Windows Phone software itself?
Microsoft has set up a Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box for exactly that purpose. Share your idea here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include areTake a photoChoose from albumsSearch from webDeleteThat appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

Renderpdf for Windows Phone 8.1

Hi,
I am trying to build a windows phone 8.1 app in which I want to render a PDF (with possible zoomed view) and display it and also I want to generate images from that PDF. Is there any third party component for doing this task?
Thanks in advance.

According to these links and the comments from Mitch Denny, can somebody confirm that .appx files (company apps) cannot be deployed/installed on windows phone 8.1 yet?

Fixed header working fine for desktop but not for windows phone

I have my website in asp.net with master page. I have used below css for header div of my website to make it fixed.
.header{
z-index: 3001;
position:fixed;
top:0px;left:0px;
background-color: white;
width:100%;height:150px;
This is working fine for desktop. But on mobile, I can only see my 50% of width of the header. On the right side of 50%, nothing is cmg. As in just white background is cmg. On the right side, I have a button which when I click is working. To say, controls are
not visible but they are working if u manage to click at the exact place. Any fix for this?
I want to add that this problem is coming only in windows phone. So need fix for that.

Hi User1508372,
The
Developing for Windows Phone forum is for developers to discuss writing Windows Phone apps, not for writing web sites targeting Windows Phone IE.
My guess here is that your site may be running into a compatibility mode or different versions of IE on desktop and on Windows Phone, but you don't provide enough information about which versions of IE you are using. Windows Phone 8 uses IE 10 (similar to
Windows 8).
The folks in the
Windows Phone IT Pro forums are likely to know more about the Windows Phone IE specifics, and the folks in the IE or ASP.Net forums will know more about how to target your HTML for different versions.

Can I turn off the background task for HERE Drive+...

Hello,
I have installed on my new Lumia 1020 the application HERE Drive+ and I have noticed that it starts up a background task. Since I'm not using HERE Drive+ on a daily basis I think I could save some battery if I turn off this background task and it is started automatically only when I'm using Drive+ application. Can I do that?
I went to Settings->Applications->Background tasks and tried to block HERE Drive+. So far so good but when I tried to set to ON (checked) the option "Turn background tasks back on for this app the next time I open it", HERE Drive+ application was automatically unblocked. Is this normal?
I want to know if I can stop the background task for HERE Drive+ and have it automatically started up when I open HERE Drive+ application.
Thank you.
Cosmin Petrenciuc
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It may be something I missunderstand. So if I go to Settings->Application->Background tasks and tap the button "Advanced" I see a list with many applications, and among them there is HERE Drive+. Above this list it is written "These apps can run in the background, and you may not be able to block all of them".
Does this just means that HERE Drive+ application is allowed to run in the background? Do I see in this window the list of all background tasks currently running or it is just a list with the application that could run in background?
Right now I don't have any application running. If I keep pressing on back button the app card list is empty.
Thank you.

Remember, while we are releasing Lumia Cyan for a large number of phones, there still may be some of you that are not offered the Cyan update, yet.

How is SQLite used for windows phone 8.1 in Visual Studio2013

Hi,
I'm developing app on Windows 8.1 currently. Can any one please help me with the steps to proceed so that I can create a database using SQLite for windows phone 8.1 through Visual Studio2013.

Hi SwetaSinha,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System, and Visual Studio Editor.
Based on your issue, if you want to know how to create a database using SQLite, I suggest you can ask this issue directly to the SQLite official website:
http://www.sqlite.org/support.html, maybe you will get better support.
In addition, since the SQLite is a extension tool for the Windows Phone 8.1, so I suggest you can post this case to the SQLite for Windows Phone 8.1:https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d97faf6-39e3-4048-a0bc-adde2af75d1b,
and then click “Q AND A”, you will get better support there.
Thanks for your understanding.

I would also suggest you to try the solution from this post:

SQLite3-WinRT / SQLite3Component for Windows Phone 8.1 (HTML5 & JavaScript)

Dear all
I am a newbie in the developpement for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
After a few weeks reading books and watching videos to learn developping Windows Store Apps 8.1 with HTML5 and JavaScript, I have started my very first serious application as a Universal Windows Store App using visual studio 2013 community edition. I would
like to use SQLite for persisiting the data of my application.
I installed the necessary extensions to VS2013 both for windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1 (SDK + SQLite extension)
I cloned the SQLite3-WinRT projet from GitHub, and, as VS2013 asked it, run the targetting process to upgrade to Windows 8.1.
I successfully installed and tested SQLite3-WinRT using Javascript for the WIndows 8.1 part of my project.
But when i tried to add the SQLite3Component project as a reference to my Windows Phone 8.1 project, VS2013 complained that SQLite3Component project is an invalid reference for a windows phone project... I can understand this as the SQLite3Component project
seems to be a windows 8 only project.
I have been looking for a solution for two days now without success and decided therefore to post my question here: is there a SQLite3Component project targetted for WINdows Phone 8(.1)? If not, what are my alternatives for persisting potentially large amount
of data with advanced search queries locally on a windows phone?
Thank you for any help the comunity could give me.
Regards
François

While not specifically talking about JavaScript/HTML5 this article series outlines how to use SQLite in Universal App projects:
http://blog.tpcware.com/2014/04/universal-app-with-sqlite-part-1/
I have already used it from C# and given that we're talking about WinRT components it should be accessible from WinJS as well. Hope it helps.

QuickControl app for Windows Phone 8.1???

Hello,
I'm totally happy with my Thinkpad X240 but I would like to be able to use remote control -for instance to pause/resume VLC player when the Thinkpad is hooked up to my TV. I read that Lenovo has this great program 'QuickControl', but you obviously need an accompanying app on your smartphone.
I can find the app for iOS and Android, but I happen to own a Windows Phone (with WP8.1)... Since I'm trying to build a 'Windows Only' life after mixed experiences with Android and OSX, I would really like the QuickControl app to be available for Windows Phone. I guess it would make sense for Lenovo -being a manufacturer of PC's- to also develop QuickControl for the Windows Phone...
Does any of you community members know where to find this app, or if/when it will become available? Or do you know another WP app that can communicate with QuickControl installed on a Thinkpad X240?
Any help is much appreciated. Oh, and by the way: Happy Holidays everyone!

Inking for Windows Phone 8.1 (Not Silverlight)

Is there any way to use Inking for Windows phone 8.1 application. I am able to use it in Silverlight application for freehand drawing.
But is there anything available to use for this purpose in WinRT?

Hi Morichi,
As far as I known in Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime there is no such a Inking api or control as in Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app. If you want to implement the inking function in Windows phone 8.1 Runtime application, please try to refer to
the @Rob Caplan - MSFT's reply in this thread:

Is Cisco VPN posible for Windows Phone 8.1

Hello,
Microsoft released Windows Phone 8.1 on April and it supports VPN connections.
So I would like to ask:
Is Cisco going to release Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows Phone 8.1?
Maybe someone managed to make clientless connection with ASA 9.1( for example IKEv2 or SSL-VPN) ?
Or should I abandon idea of connecting WP 8.1 with ASA?
Thanks.

Hi aurimas88 ,
Looks like AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 2.5 is supported for windows phone , however W 8.1 mobile has not been tested by Cisco , We cannot guarantee compatibility.
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0 Windows Mobile Devices Not Supported
AnyConnect version 3.0 and later do not support Microsoft Windows Mobile or Windows Phone. However, you can continue to use the ASA to deploy the AnyConnect 2.5 or earlier client for Windows Mobile even after loading the AnyConnect 3.0 package files to the ASA for web deployment.
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 2.5 Windows Mobile Devices Supported
We designed AnyConnect 2.5 for compatibility with Windows Mobile 6.5, 6.1, 6.0 and 5.0 Professional and Classic for touch-screens only. Users have reported success with most touch-screens running these versions of Windows Mobile. However, to ensure interoperability, we guarantee compatibility only with the devices we test, as follows:
HTC Imagio running Windows Mobile 6.5
HTC Tilt 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5
HTC Touch running Windows Mobile 6.0
HTC TyTN running Windows Mobile 5.0
Samsung Epix running Windows Mobile 6.1
Samsung Omnia Pro 4 running Windows Mobile 6.5
Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile 6.1
Samsung Saga running Windows Mobile 6.1
