Microsoft Band Functionality Issues and Windows Phone Developer Preview

I just wanted to post this since I ran into this issue and after spending my evening dealing with it wanted to share what I learned. I picked up a Microsoft Band for myself and my wife. I'm running the developer preview on my Lumia 920 and have
been for awhile now. The band has been working really well for me and I hadn't had any issues. My wife has a new Lumia 1520 and wasn't in the developer preview. Her band was fine for a couple of days but then stopped connecting to her phone. The Bluetooth
wouldn't connect. I spent over an hour on the phone with Microsoft support which was pretty helpful (I do appreciate that it is US based support and not out in India). But during the troubleshooting I did with the support tech he mentioned that there are features
that only work if you have the developer preview. Things such as Facebook and Twitter tiles on the Band only work with the latest version of WP 8.1 that you can get through the developer preview. However it also appears that the Band's other
functions such as Cortana and Text/Email notifications work much better as well when you have the newer version of 8.1 with the Developer Preview. So I just wanted to put that out there, if you are having any issues with your Band sign up for the
Developers Preview and update your phone and you should see improvements.

Can anyone tell me why I have not mail option under Manage Tiles? I am running with the Develop Preview on a Lumia 1020. I am now running the developer preview update, I hope this fixes the issue but it seems it should just be an app issue smh.

  • Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2 Running Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone

    I am a lone wolf developer running Hyper-V on a legally-licensed Server running Windows Enterprise 2008R2. I have extremely limited research funding.
    Since I need to evaluate Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone development for the 1080p Phone Emulator, I created a Virtual Machine of Windows 8.1 Evaluation Copy RTM on my server. I am trying to create software for the Nokia Lumia 1520 Phone-Tablet.
    Everything in the Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine runs perfectly from Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2, except for one problem related to my Phone development project. Networking is perfect, the display is perfect, there are no other issues except this "gotcha".
    The problem appears with the Windows Phone SDK Update 4, which supports a 1080p
    Windows Phone Emulator. This emulator is supposed to load it's own instance of a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V virtual machine
    when debugging the Phone Application from Visual Studio 2012 Express.
    This Emulator tries to start it's own Hyper-V session inside Windows 8.1. In my humble opinion, it should be possible to do this (load a Windows 8.1 HyperV Virtual Machine inside a "parent" Virtual Machine).
    It presents this error message instead:
    Essentially, Windows 8.1, running in a Virtual Machine, should also be able to create a Virtual Machine inside it's own Virtual Machine. That is the required design of the Phone Emulator (must be able to intantiate a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V Virtual machine to display
    the Phone).
    If that does not work, then I guess it must not be a supported configuration. If not, then I need to licence Windows 8.1 on a separate physical computer. Anyone want to tackle this?
    +__+

    I have a legal, licensed Windows 2008 R2 Server with the Hyper-V Role. I then downloaded the time-limited
    Windows 8.1 RTM Evaluation Version and successfully installed. It works flawlessly. Next, I installed the
    Windows Phone SDK Update 4 on top of
    Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.
    It all works flawlessly, except for one little problem.
    Since I am interested in evaluating and testing the Windows Phone SDK 1080p Emulator, I must run
    F5 - Start Debugging in Visual Studio in order to see my Windows Phone application in 1080p resolution. Well, the Emulator
    almost completely starts up successfully, but at the last push it gives an error. This error is shown below as a JPEG. 
    Does anyone know which of the "Hyper-V components is not running?"

  • Solution: iPad/iPhone Login issues with IIS as Reverse Proxy (Android and Windows Phone works)

    Hi,
    I had issues with iPad/iPhone access from external and tried a lot. Now I found my solution I like to share.
    I setup a IIS on Windows Server 2012 with ARR 2.5 and Android and Windows Phone could login but not iPad and iPhone.
    The IIS Log on the reverse proxy showed:
    2013-02-26 12:03:31 <IP> POST /webticket/webticketservice.svc X-ARR-CACHE-HIT=0&X-ARR-LOG-ID=1996c8d7-09d0-4310-8da4-a8dfb7940e28 443 - <ClientIP> Lync%202010/1.6+CFNetwork/609+Darwin/13.0.0 - 401 0 0 124

    First Request gets a 401 while anonymous. Second try would be with authentication but it never reached the internal front end server.
    After I installed a fix for ARR

    Hi,
    This resolved our problem too!! So happy after 2 weeks of messing around with just about every setting recommended from all types of forums and rebuilding our reverse proxy I was at a loose end. 
    Our environment is Lync 2013 Enterprise, Lync 2013 Edge, IIS as Reverse Proxy on Server 2012 using ARR 2.5
    We had Android and Windows clients working but no iOS devices at all. In the iOS log we were seeing 
    <h1>Server Error</h1></div><div id="content"> <div class="content-container"><fieldset> <h2>502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.</h2> <h3>There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.</h3> </fieldset></div></div></body></html>
    When the client was trying to retrieve from the webticketservice.svc

    Installed the HotFix from here:-
    Hotfix for Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2.5 for IIS7 (KB 2732764) (x64)
    Rebooted the Reverse Proxy and iOS clients worked straight away for both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 on both iPhone 5 and iPad both. 
    I hope this helps others as I was losing the plot :-)
    Cheers

  • DPS support for windows 8.1 and windows phone applications?

    Does the latest version of DPS support development for apps on Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone or is there a roadmap for when this will be supported? It seemed like it was to be release by the end of 2013.

    What do you mean by "ADP"?
    All your Adobe rep will do is get you a custom viewer that you can submit to the store. You still have to publish the folios yourself to either the same account as your iOS folios, or to a different account (your choice). Remember that the Windows 8.1 viewer does not support Single Edition. It is only for professional or enterprise customers who are publishing multi-issue applications.
    Our intention is to have all iPad folios render beautifully on Windows. The only overlays we don't currently support are pan and zoom, image sequence, and audio. If you don't use those overlays then you don't have to change your folios at all.
    You can look at the Adobe Inspire app in Windows Store as an example. The folios there are the direct copy of the iPad folios, with no edits.

  • ActiveSync autodiscover not working for iPhone but for Android and Windows Phone

    Hi
    We have setup an Exchange 2013 hosted environment, where different mail domains are running on it.
    The main domain is mydomain.com. One of the client domains is customer.com.
    Autodiscover for customer.com has a cname which points to autodiscover.mydomain.com, on our firewall this url is redirected to autodiscover-s.mydomain.com, where our public certificate for mydomain.com is applied. Autodiscover for all
    our customers finally ends at autodiscover-s.mydomain.com.
    Outlook WebApp, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync for all customers is reachable through mail.mydomain.com.
    Everything works fine, except of autodiscover for iPhones. I always have to enter the server name mail.mydomain.com manually. After that ActiveSync works on iPhones as well.
    The Problem doesn’t exist on Androids and Windows Phones.
    Any suggestion?
    Regards
    Peter

    Yes, Interestingly same configuration is working in my home lab, but not working at customer. The version is 10.5
    Cannot say wireless issue as jabber for windows is working from wireless

    Hi,
    we have tried to install Windows Phone Developer Power Tools (8.1) in a Lumia 730 device, but due to an error we can't do it.
    We do it through Visual Studio 2013 Update 4:
    - Menu TOOLS

    - Developer Power Tools
    - Select the device and click to Connect.
    It is requested to install the tools on the device, but when we click on "install", there is an error (German text):

    We have tried it on different computers, but it doesn't work.
    Is there anything we could do?

  • If apple app store has an app to sync windows phone with itunes called windows connector, and windows phone and apple are competitors, why doesnt apple make an app for android that syncs itunes without a third party software

    I want to simply sync my android and my mac itunes without downloading any software. Windows phone has an app to do that even though apple and windows phone are competitors. Why does android not make an app or why doesnt apple create an software or something

    Apple didn't create the Windows Phone app (Microsoft). Apple has nothing to do with this, and Google should do an app for this

  • What is the difference between Microsoft Speech API Dsktop and Windows Runtime versions?

    There is a text-to-speach funtionality on Windows Desktop and on Windows RT and Windows Phone. I want to know what is the difference of TTS APIs (SAPIs)?

    Hi TIKSN,
    Based on your description, it seems that you want to know the difference of the TTS APIs among the Windows Desktop and Windows Store/Phone app. If so in Windows Desktop it uses this
    System.Speech.Synthesis APIs to implement the text-to-speech function. But in Windows Phone Runtime and Windows Store 8.1, it uses the
    Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis APIs to implement the text-to-speech function.
    For the difference between the "Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis" and "System.Speech.Synthesis", please try to check the reply which posted by @Rob Caplan - MSFT in here:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25710852/what-are-the-different-between-windows-media-speechsynthesis-and-system-speec
    If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

    Hi Suneel,
    There has been a great thrust by the business users to make the BW reports more friendly with the execl functions, so that they can use it better to perform ad hoc calculations that may be specific to them, and not all the users, so it doesn't have to be built into the query.

  • MacBook 7,1 CS4206a audio driver crashes on Windows 8 Developer Preview

    I'm experiencing crash on about every 20minutes on Windows 8 Developer Preview.(MacBook 7,1 late 2010 model)(BootCamp 4.0.0 installed)
    It seems that Built-In audio driver is the one that causes the problem.
    I disabled CS4206a driver in Driver Manager to prevent that.
    But I really want my sounds back.
    I've also tried CS4207driver from Cirrus Logic, and a old driver.
    but none seems to be helping.
    Any advice??

    Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunatly, I found that audio driver is not the problem.
    After disablling, removing the audio driver from the system32/drivers, the time til to get crash has indeed EXTENDED, but it still crashes..
    misalaram, thank you for the idea. Formatted windows 8 and installed JUST the graphics card driver directly from the nvidia. Still crashes..
    I think it is sort of like kernel panic. Which microsoft has said that they implemented multi-tasking capable kernel. I think somthing is unstable..
