HealthVault integration removed from Windows Phone Health&Fitness app?

If I understand correctly, the MSN (formerly Bing) Health&Fitness app no longer supports HealthVault integration? This is probably the most deplorable news in the history of HealthVault...

I don't want to have to show my doctor fifty different websites/databases about various things in my life
And I don't want to use fifty different apps to do the same thing.
I truly, honestly don't understand MS anymore these days.
All their so-called 'showcase' apps have suffered horribly from features being taken away, or just getting from working fine to very buggy.
Bring back syncing between the H&F apps and HV. Now I'm looking at a bunch of data I meticulously entered over the past months in H&F and HV that will not sync anymore.
Seriously, a double facepalm isn't even enough here.... :-\

Create a signature capture for Windows Phone 8.1 App

I am creating a Windows Phone 8.1 app with signature capture control on one of my page. I am looking for an approach using C# so that I can draw points on a XAML with Canvas control. But it seems like that InkPresenter name space is removed from Windows
Phone 8.1. Is there anyway I can get it around?
Thanks,

You can capture the signature by listening to pointer messages and storing the points as they come through. You can then render them as Path segments.

Why do I have to switch from Windows Phone to Andr...

Why do I have to switch from Windows Phone to Android?
[September 30, 2014]
This year all my friends with Windows Phone (WP) had switched to Android. Why? The Apps. I continued with WP until now because the OS is very cool (particularly the 8.1 desktop) and because I love Nokia Phones. And the new 830 and 930 models look great.
But I will buy a new Fuji X30 Camera, I need the Wifi remote app for some shoots, I have no choice
Now, I will give a list of reasons my friends left WP because lack or applications, maybe somebody at Microsoft is listening and can revert this tendency.
1. Bank Applications (Bancolombia APP)
2. Giro D’Italia app from La gazzetta dello sport.
3. Stereopinic Concert app.
4. General Motors - Chevrolet navigation/location app.
Another annoying thing with Nokia phones in emerging markets is they don’t distribute all the accessories (headphones, wireless chargers, cases), so you have to buy them from another country make them expensive. I even met three months ago the commercial leader for Nokia here in Colombia, a group of people mentioned this, but nothing has changed since then. The updates came very late and right now I’m not able to use Cortana
I hope Microsoft starts investing hard on apps and identify that little temporal applications for just one week or month (sport events/concerts) and start to create mechanisms to get things done. They just can’t waste the 6’000.000 consumers in US and the 10% share market in some countries in Europe and in emerging markets.

I don't endorse any mobile phone brand nor receive any free stuff from them. Neither did I advertise anything. It was rather a recommendation if the starter of this thread would like ot purchase an Android phone. Censorship won't help to sell any more Lumia phones.
I cannot blame anybody who's about to purchase an Android phone. Being a Windows Mobile & Phone user since 2006 I've seen those strategic mistakes Microsoft has made when the 1st and the 2nd generation of Windows Phones were released (the price of developer account etc. etc.). It's very hard to mend those things afterwards but I sincerely hope it won't be impossible.
I'm blessed that I live in FInland because Nokia has always been considered as a Finnish mobile brand and therefore there are all those (well, almost all) necessary apps available for Windows Phone. IMO the best Nokia app has been Here Transit. I really don't need Here Drive+ because they don't bother to include speed cams and line assistance to their app. Just take a look at Navigation Europe and there you have the best possible navigation app for Windows Phone. Waze is also great and it's free. Hmm, I guess that sentence will be censored because I recommended something
I've been quite pleased with the latest Windows Phones. They haven't crashed like my Dell Venue Pro did (first Windows Phone ever) or like my Android phone, tablet and TV box. But in order to increase the market share of Windows Phones there are two ways:
1) good (amount of) apps, great hardware and/or
2) double booting phone where it's possible to choose whether to boot to Android or to Windows Phone. I'd love to have that kinda phone with the goods described in 1)

Not able to successfully subscribe to and see the TargetApplicationChosen event fire from Windows Phone 8.1

Matt,
Thanks for the reply.
In my current experience, I am not able to successfully subscribe to and see the TargetApplicationChosen event fire from Windows Phone 8.1.
In Windows Store 8.1 (Tablet), it works fine.
Questions
Is this event expected to fire in Window Phone 8.1 (Universal Apps, Not Silverlight 8.1) ?
Does this event depend on the target application to supply AppName?
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
Example Code Block
//From Page Contstructor or OnNavigatedTo Handler
_dataTransferManager = DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView();
_dataTransferManager.TargetApplicationChosen += DataTransferManagerOnTargetApplicationChosen;
private void DataTransferManagerOnTargetApplicationChosen(DataTransferManager sender, TargetApplicationChosenEventArgs args)
//fires in tablet but not phone

This is not an answer, Mr. Wong. The link you referenced refers to the DataTransferManager class being supported only in Native apps, which includes Windows Phone 8.1 RT apps. All aspects of the DataTransferManager work except for the TargetApplicationChosen
event under a WP8.1 universal app. This event does NOT fire in the Windows Phone 8.1 RT API implementation of DataTransferManager.
You need to reopen this thread and address the issue, please. The lack of support for this event is problematic for some phone scenarios, most notably supporting NFC Tap and Share.

TCP/IP communication from windows phone 8.1 to Power PC SBC

Hi
I need technical help in sending data (structure) from windows phone 8.1 to power pc Single board computer.
Power pc side TCP server part is implemented.
I have got TCP client code from microsoft website but its not working.later i came to know that its for windows8.
please provide the correct link for TCP client software download.
Regards,
laxmi

There is no way to know how to help you in this issue. We have plenty of TCP code that works just fine, but you'll have to figure out how to send the packets in
a way that your PowerPC understands.

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive

Make clickable UI-elements for windows Phone 8.1 apps maps

Windows Phone 8.1 App , C#
I would like to let the user add Pushpins ( which apparently are called MapIcons ) to the map and when the user clicks the newly created Pushpin some other ui-elements should appear.
But apparently MapIcons are not clickable and you can not inherit from them since they are sealed, so no luck in making them clickable.
I tried to just extend from Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button , but those have not Location, probably because the do not belong to the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps-namespace. So I can not really add them to the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.MapControl.Children
or Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.MapControl.MapElements, since they will not be on the map where I would want them to be.
So how do you make a clickable ui-element that I can give a location on the map?
I already was here
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn792121.aspx#showing_xaml_controls_and_shapes_on_the_map
But I don't see how I can add clickable elements to my map
I could write something like this of course
        <Maps:MapControl Grid.Row="1"
            x:Name="map"
            MapServiceToken="token"
            >
            <Maps:MapIcon>
            </Maps:MapIcon>
        </Maps:MapControl>
But this MapIcon again is not clickable and it also staticly coded. I want to add mine dynamic.

Hi Michael,
Yes, as you said the MapIcon is not clickable, then for the workaround, please try to check the reply which posted by @Jogy in here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25377526/windows-phone-8-1-mapicon-click-event .

How to import MySql database to windows phone 8.1 app

Hello everyone I'm Designing a new windows phone 8.1 app and I need some help from you.
I have a database that Im using for the some app but for Windows.
currently using db4free.net
and use this code
Mysqlconn = New MySqlConnection
Mysqlconn.ConnectionString = "server=db4free.net;Port=3306; user id=%%%%%; password=%%%%%%%; database=%%%%%%%%"
Dim READER As MySqlDataReader
Try
Mysqlconn.Open()
Dim Query As String
Query = "SELECT * FROM Manager WHERE Name='" & TextBox1.Text & "' AND Password='" & TextBox2.Text & " ' "
Command = New MySqlCommand(Query, Mysqlconn)
READER = Command.ExecuteReader
Dim count As Integer
count = 0
While READER.Read
count = count + 1
End While
If count = 1 Then
MsgBox("Mire se vini'" & TextBox1.Text & "'")
FORMAKRYESORE.Show()
Me.Close()
ElseIf count > 1 Then
MsgBox("Mire se vini'" & TextBox1.Text & "'")
Else
MsgBox("Manager'" & TextBox1.Text & "' is not in the data")
End If
Mysqlconn.Close()
Catch ex As MySqlException
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
Mysqlconn.Dispose()
End Try
this is the code that I use to login. but on windows phone cant import Mysql connector. not sure why... any suggestion how to deal with this?
or should I use SQLite? I dont know nothing about the code on SQLite...

If this is supposed to work just on the phone then SQLite or a Local database.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh202860(v=vs.105).aspx
For small amounts of data, serializing and deserializing classes to isolated storage is faster.
Phones aren't always connected to the interweb.
Even if you are planning on using a central database on some server and connecting via services, you will almost always also need to store some data locally.
It's in your interest to ask questions in the appropriate forum for the technology you're using.
As it is, you're asking wpf developers a question about windows store app development.
It's similar but different.
Which is probably why Magnus is unaware of local database and I probably omitted something else.
It's not what we do.
I've written a grand total of one windows store apps.
Magnus probably has a similar level of experience.
Hope that helps.

How to make backward compatibility of windows phone 8.1 app for windows phone 7?

I developed windows phone 8.1 app which is in windows phone store. Now, i want to make this app compatible for windows 7 also. Is it possible, if yes then how?

It may be that you are using non-backward compatible capabilities in your Windows Phone 8.1 app(s).
Developers that want to develop for different OS's usually have platforms with the different OS's on them for developing applications so they work on each platform.
I suppose you developed for Windows phone 8.1 rather than Windows phone 7. Therefore your app runs on a different framework than a Windows phone 7 has as well as probably newer hardware with greater capabilities.
So you will probably need to purchase an older phone that came with Windows phone 7 in order to develop for. I couldn't find documentation like the last link below (App capabilities and hardware requirements for Windows Phone 8) for Windows phone 7
from Microsoft but maybe you can.
Windows Phone OS 7.1 - Developing a Windows Phone Application from Start to Finish
Types of Applications
The Windows Phone application platform provides two frameworks for developing applications:
Silverlight
The Silverlight framework supports event-driven, XAML-based application development.
XNA
The XNA Framework supports loop-based games.
Silverlight and XNA can also be combined in a single application.
The following table lists some of the criteria that you can use to determine whether you should use Silverlight or the XNA Framework for your Windows Phone application. With Windows Phone OS 7.1, you can combine Silverlight and XNA into one application.
For more information about Silverlight and XNA, see
The Silverlight and XNA Frameworks for Windows Phone. For more information about the application platform, see
Application Platform Overview for Windows Phone.
What's New in Windows Phone 8.1
Platform convergence with Windows Store apps
Windows Phone 8.1 introduces an important change in the Windows Phone developer ecosystem. In this release, Windows Phone converges with the Windows Store apps platform into a single developer platform that runs the same types of apps—Windows Runtime apps.
Platform convergence began in Windows Phone 8, which supports a small subset of Windows Runtime APIs, but which differs from Windows in many core areas. In Windows Phone 8.1, there’s so much more in common—a much larger API set, a similar app model
and life cycle, a shared toolset, a common UI framework—Windows Phone and Windows Store app developer platforms truly have become one, single development platform.
Of course there are still some small differences in behavior and supported features between Windows Phone and Windows Store apps. Some of these are the result of timing of the different product cycles, and they may not appear in future releases. Some differences
are the result of the different natures of phones and computers, their sizes, and the way people use them. We encourage developers to think in terms of Windows app development—developing for a single Windows Runtime, but targeting two different platforms on
phones and computers.

If a device is removed from the Find my Iphone app on Icloud, does this mean that it is unlinked from that Icloud account when the account is removed from icloud in the settings of the iphone?

Hi there!
I have a question regarding Icloud and unlinking an Icloud account from a device such as an iphone. If the iphone device is removed from the Find my Iphone app in Icloud, does this mean that it is unlinked/removed from the account after the account is removed manually in the icloud settings of the phone? Or in the case of resetting the phone will it become icloud locked still? I hope this makes sense and thank you to anyone who answers!

The following indicates that if you use iCloud to erase the device and then remove it from your account it would then be usable: The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to activate and use your device.
