New Windows Phone user - what websites for finding...

I am wondering just how to go about learning Windows Phone 8.  Thus looking for valuable website content.  Would appreciate input.
Specific questions:
Where do I go to update ALL my apps at once?
My settings are displayed in UK English.  How do I change to US English?
How do I see files and folders as I do on my Laptop with WIndows 7?
Thanks much,  Pete
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have a look at THIS
Normally the phone will show you if any updates are available. You will see a no. appearing in the 'store' tile n your home screen. The no. will depend on for how many applications an update is available.
Change language by giong to settings-->language+region ..and select appropriate under each field there-in.
You won't get to see Files / Folders the way you see them on your PC.

  • Thinking about selling Iphone 5 for new WIndows Phone

    So I am a new Iphone 5 user. Went from a Motorola Droid to an Apple product. I must say I like the Iphone 5, but I like the new windows phone. I have even thought about selling my Iphone 5 to get the Windows phone. ANyone have any thoughts about the windows phones compared the the Iphone 5?

    As a past user of an iPhone 4 and a Windows Phone 7.5 device, I would say that the user experiences are similar, with the exception of far fewer apps being available for Windows Phone.  However, there are several apps available and I could find a livable level of satisfaction with the app selection.  There are fewer accessories available for any Windows Phone device (or any other phone, for that matter) than for the iPhone.  One thing that I think that has changed for Windows Phone 8 is that users will no longer sync through Zune on the PC.  I'm not up-to-speed with this part, so if this is important to you, you might want to research this further.
    The other thing that may impact your user experience would be how integrated into Apple's ecosystem you are.  Even though you said that you just got the iPhone 5, I don't know if you are an iPad or iPod user that relied on iTunes for content management.  Your other ecosystem concerns would include whether or not you use iCloud for media storage and whether or not your friends send you text messages in iMessage.  If none of these things are big deals for you, then a switch to a different mobile OS may be fine.
    Your other differences are your hardware differences.  You didn't name a specific Windows Phone device, but I think that every Windows Phone that is coming out is larger than an iPhone 5.  Were you attracted to the thin and light profile of the iPhone 5, or did you think that the screen was too small?  The cameras on the iPhone 5 and the upcoming Windows Phone devices are said to rival each other, so that probably won't be a major consideration for you.
    There are many other things to consider, but hopefully my questions will remind you of what you consider to be important, and you can go from there.  I always recommend hands-on time with a new device that you are considering, so go to stores to try out Windows Phone devices to get more of a feel for them.

  • When Will A New Windows Phone Be Released on Verizon?

    When will a new windows phone be released on verizon? What phone will it be? What are you using to get this information?

    Let this be known, there is absolutely no way in hell that I'm playing the same ******** VERIZON GAME with the same rules they made up last year that include:
    A. Making thier customers wait a year and half, that's is literally 4-18 months longer than any other carrier worldwide
    B. Limit the feature set so much that other carriers phone of basically the same model seem to be rooted (no tether, no screen shots, etc.)
    C. Release it with almost zero support, the best I could find was a verizon support tech that guessed and fumbled around because there was no training for the trophy's and almost a month after getting it no one could help me get it to work right with voicemail, MM text sending and receiving or even getting it to purchase apps from the marketplace (it would ask for a valid credit card for my account and I had vaild credit cards in every one of Microsoft Live ID accounts) leading me to this
    D. I finally figured out a large part of the issue, would have never even happened if Verizon would have provided instructions on something the size of a post it note, for a customer setting up their inital account when very first logging into the phone... Seriously without exageration, after loading and resetting the phone 4 times over a 2 month period both at the instruction of techs that "knew" this issue, and that was 2 of them after talking to about 8 support techs on the phone and going to 3 different stores 2 to them 3 times each (once with 3 of them working on it for about an hour and 15 minutes AND NO ONE was able to ID a large part of the issues I was having as being my Zune account, Xbox Live account, Certified Partner Account and Live/Hotmail email accounts all needed to be created using the same user ID and password and that's the one you need to use to initially set the phone up...
    I understand Verizon had a hard-on for Microsoft for partnering up with ATT early on, but hell, with the lack of marketing, support, customer service and general all round **** poor attidude...
    Seriously?? ***... The best answer is a god **** guesstimate... Anyway, if I even smell any of that same ******** this time (and yes, that is a legal name for use given how Verizon treats the Windows Phone platform and the customers that want to use it) I'm totally ABVing it (that would be Anyone but Verizon)

  • 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.

  • How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?

    In safari I can open a new window with the same website like the one I have open, that makes it easy continuing to navigate on a website and to go back to the original website

    Hello Andieas
    Why open a new window for fast browsing??
    Open new tabs.
    Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
    It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
    Hope you'll like it

  • When are new Windows phones coming?

    Have an HTC 8X running Windows 8.1 that recently started having really bad screen glitching issues.  For example, typing one letter enters another and one part of the screen is just dead to touch.  Usually takes 3-4 tries now just to type in the unlock password.  I could a) get a new upgrade (which I'm due), b) get a new screen from a 3rd party for $50, c) get a warranty replacement from Verizon for $100 or d) step down to my old HTC Trophy.  Prefer option A (to get a new Windows phone), but no idea if and when Verizon will be offering them.  Don't want to waste upgrade on an old model phone with new ones coming out soon.  Anyone have any insight?  Prefer not leave Verizon, but considering it since I'm in a crappy state right now.

    I thought I was the only one with this problem. My Nokia Icon is possessed! I can barely text someone, unlock the screen or search the internet. My phone even calls people by itself. I have tried soft reset (several times a day) and finally a hard reset...didn't help at all. I, myself, have thought about your option a,c, and d but had not heard of option b. Please let me know what you decide. I can't take another day of this, especially when my hubby has the same phone and his is perfectly fine.

  • Can't see text messages from a Windows phone user.

    In ichat app, text threads that include Windows phone user do not even show up. Is this fixable or just "how it is"?

    Hi,
    Depending where the person lives and what carrier the person may use if they live in the "right place"  the answer can be fixable or just how it is.
    iChat 1 through 6 and Messages 7 though 8 in Mavericks (Yosemite still gets called version 8 instead of 9) will all do SMS to AIM Buddies where the Buddy is a telephone number starting +1
    To be clear, the non iPhone has to be in the United States on one of these Carriers
    You can then add their phone number like it was a Buddy to your AIM Buddy List adding a leading +1 for the Country Code.
    The app will format it for you.
    You can obviously link it to a Contact/Address  Card
    Despite the use of a +1 country Code this has never been used outside of the United States.
    The list of carriers may cover large parts of the population but is by no means everyone.
    Anywhere else is just how it is.

  • When will there be an adobe flash player available to Windows Phone users?

    I'm just wondering when there will be a flash player available to windows phone users.

    No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:

    In the interim, there is a reminder program for pretty much every need and taste in the App Store.

  • White iPhone 4 or New Windows Phone 7

    I been holding out on an iPhone 4 because I want the white one, so does my girlfriend, well my iPhone 3GS White is getting pretty old now and we are considering getting the new Windows Phone 7 at the beginning of November. Anyone have an idea or any clues from the net when the white iPhone 4 is coming out? Or should I just say screw it and get the Windows Phone 7? Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, apparently I am. So nothing official from them yet? I'm just a bit torn, I've waited a few months already and now if I get the iphone now I will totally NOT be eligible for upgrade for iPhone 5 in June. I do prefer the white one though. I read some where about Walmart getting a shipment of white iPhones for sale. Maybe soon?

  • New "Windows Programming Using Java" Website

    Our newly created "Windows Programming Using Java" website (http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/winJava/) is for programmers who want to extend Java's capabilities on Windows XP and/or Vista, but aren't sure where to start. One of the drawbacks of Java's portability is that many Java programmers have a rather sketchy knowledge of Windows-specific programming.
    We plan to explain how Java applications can utilize Windows application software, OS features, and hardware beyond the reach of Java's standard libraries. A variety of Java/Windows programming techniques will be explained, including:
    * Java's employment of the Win32 API via C, JNI, and J/Invoke.
    * Java's utilization of Window's Command Line Interface (CLI) and batch files, accessed through Java's Runtime, ProcessBuilder, and Process classes.
    * Java and Windows object-based scripting, centered around the use of VBScript, Windows Script Host (WSH), and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
    * Java interoperability with COM, including hosting of ActiveX controls in Swing containers using jacoZoom.
    This website is a work in progress, with four chapters available for download at the moment. We'll be adding more regularly, and would love feedback on what we're doing.
    Thanks,
    Gayathri Singh and Andrew Davison
