Windows phone 10 & Google.

Hi !
Planning on going back to WP again and the Lumia 1520 looks very attractive with good price offers in Thailand where I live.
However, I would like to know if once MS has the Universal App would it mean that Google apps and services would be offered on the WP as well since the Desktop version has them too ?
With Universal app would I be able to use Gmail, Google Docs, etc., like in Andriod and IOS ?
My transition from Andriod to MS cannot be more smooth if I can transfer my Google Calender and Play books data seamlessly and use them in WP.( I use Outlook more then Gmail so that's not a worry for me )
Lastly, is there any chances that WP might come with an S Pen type like in Note in the future for business ?( sorry if this question is unfair at this time...)
Await your kind reply and please allow me to say that you guys are doing a Great job and I enjoy using WP and love the UI a lot !
Best regards,
Sammy

Should be included with the Windows 10 SDK preview available via the Insider Program:

A standalone installation of the Emulator to e.g. include it into an existing VS2013 deployment is to my knowledge not available yet.

TS4050 I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered?

I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered in trouble shooting articles?

As I mentioned earlier, you have to decide which calendar you want to use. You can either use Google or iCloud, but not both.
If you want to use your iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Calendar section) and set this to your iCloud calendar. After doing so, all new events you add to your calendar will be added by default to your iCloud calendar, and as a result, will appear on icloud.com and your computer (if it is syncing calendars with your iCloud account).
If, on the other hand, you want to use your Google calendar (as it sounds like you are doing with your iPod), simply add the same Google calendar to your phone and your computer.

Verizon mades changes in the coding and now Windows Phone 7 is having data issues!!!

Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails. I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised. Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail... And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received). After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues... Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g. Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues. And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game. Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem... Yeah Right. If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution. But for the 100's or 1000's of users that go to work daily, check there emails and text daily, and haven't changed one thing on the phone... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Now I read an articile for someone extermely close to Microsoft stating that Verizon turned down Nokia's new 4GLTE phone because they have no faith in the operating system and I have to think that maybe behind the scenes Verizon is trying to force us off Windows Phone 7 platform with data issue behind the scene and try to get us all into the Droid Platform which they make 50% of the cash off the phone just like the iPhone...
This is a joke, and I am really starting to think about going to ATT and getting the HTC Titan or the new Nokia 900. I have already research a 3 party app that will allow you to backup and restore your phone. And just read that Microsoft just put out an ad for backup, restore and cloud backup programmers for this latest feature.
Verizon the games need to stop, Verizon you need to stand behind this Platform, Verizon you need to provide better service for all us 3G users!!!

Can I submit apps built with Windows Phone 8.0 SDK or do all new apps have to be windows Phone 8.1

I thought this would be an easy question to google but I can't find a simple Yes or No.
My app uses some components that are not currently developed for windows phone 8.1 so I was going to build the app in the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK. But I know that other platforms stop you submitting apps in older SDK's, but what about Microsoft? Can I still
submit a brand new app built on the Windows Phone 8 SDK?

you can submit , I have submitted a new windows phone 8 app recently which will support on windows 8.1 phone also. In case of 8 the build will be .xap and in case of 8.1 it will app.package . when you run your windows 8 app in 8.1 phone it will
internally convert xap to package and it runs as usually. I would suggest you to start developing in 8.1 apps which has lot more flavors added(ex: Geo fencing etc).

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

When will Adobe Flash Player be available for my Windows Phone 7?

I have the new Samsung Focus SGH-i917 Windows Phone 7. When I visit news pages that require Adobe
flash player, I can't play the videos. When I try to download the player I get an error message that it is not supported .

If it's Android 4.0 there will be no further development of Flash Player. Android dropped all support for Flash last year, and Adobe isn't developing for it anymore as a result.
There are alternatives to Flash for Android devices:
You can find info about "Dolphin" for Android at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser It seems to be the browser of choice to play Flash content on an Android device.
Also, check the Android forums to see what their "gurus" recommend.

REST service in Windows Phone

Just when I got comfortable using a WCF service reference in my personal Windows Phone applications, it up and goes away.
Now I am trying to get a rest service to work in my code.
I have a service at http://testservice/dataprovider.svc/getallresults
How can I get the results from there to a textbox on the screen when I click a button?
Thanks for all your help.

There’re several approaches that will work.
Use Microsoft’s push notification service (MPNS). Here’s
an overview. This is the most power-efficient way, and your users will even be able to receive messages while your app’s not running.
Use Microsoft’s Windows Notification Service (WNS). It's only supported on WP 8.1, but the latency is much better (<g class="gr_ gr_20 gr-alert
gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="20" id="20">AFAIR</g> they promise delivery time within 5 seconds).
Or, you can use some bi-directional protocol. Choose between:
WCF server + net-<g class="gr_ gr_21 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="21" id="21">tcp</g> transport: on client you'll have to implement binding + framing + SOAP yourself,
the higher levels of the protocol (binary XML serialization) is in the framework.
Google protocol buffers over TCP
WebSockets: MS has the support in 8.1 SDK, third party is available for WP Silverlight
SignalR: 3rd party implementation is available

Image Zooming doesnot working with phonegap on windows phone 8.1

I have a staic image of google map.when i click the image ,i want pop up the image and then only i want to zoom the image.The image is samll,when i click it it must be come out of the div tag and the zoom.But it doesnot work properly in android and
windows.
If anyone have any idea.How to do it in windows phone 8.1?
Please give me solution

We're not PhoneGap experts on this forum. You may want to find a Phonegap forum to ask this question.
I'd help with doing this in C# but you're talking about div tags which aren't in C# but HTML apps.

Windows Phone 8 App Maturity

Previously I'd been a long time Symbian user with my last one being a Nokia N97.
When it was no longer tolerable I switched to an Android phone and felt like I'd taken a step backwards in functionality from the sophisticated and well-integrated built-in apps and the world of 3rd party apps (if you knew where to look on the web).
Now that I've bought a Nokia Lumia 1020, I feel like I've taken a gigantic flying leap backwards!
So much that you'd expect to be standard on smartphones just isn't in there (for example "Audio Profiles").
The apps that came with the phone are so fragments and poorly designed and the ones in the Microsoft Store aren't much better.
Even the Nokia app from copying data from my old phone brought just about everything from my Android phone EXCEPT THE PHONE NUMBERS.
It's almost if they are deliberately trying to discourage using the phone for MAKING PHONE CALLS.
The camera is great and is most of the reason why I bought the 1020, but I thought that the software would at least be respectable.
From reading the forum here and elsewhere I see that most people blame Microsoft for the lack of openness (can't get to the file system or get hooks into the hardware--why else are there no weather apps that give you the weather where you are currently?).
I sure hope that better software is in the development "tunnel" on its way to the users.

There are boatloads of weather apps with accurate weather information. In fact juste recently a very good roundup has been posted HERE.
When you have driven a certain car for a long time geting into another make/model will always fell different and you may not be able to find the controls you look for right away. Generally you would find what you seek quicker by asking instead of going off on how lousy your new car is since it does not have this and that..
Sure, there's stuff you would have had on Symbian which is not available in Windows Phone, but the reverse is also true and Symbian is dead and gone while we're seeing Windows Phone improve and seeing updates about once every six months at least.
So instead of posting a pointless rant, maybe post your questions. A rant won't get you any help or solutions, asking question just might.
The íssue with Android/Google account phone numbers has been posted about several times here and getting that resolved takes a little effort but is easy enough.
1. export contacts from gmail to a .csv file
2. Download Windows Mail using the Microsoft essentials
3. When installed log in to it using your Microsoft account
4. Import your .csv file into windows mail
5. You contacts with phone numbers will show up on your Lumia 1020 as they sync to your Microsoft account
There are several other options, most of which have been discussed here too.
Which apps do you feel are 'fragments' and 'poorly designed'? How do you define these?
What apps in the store are not much better and why?
Profiles I could see be useful for some but they're not here (yet).

Verizon & Windows Phones

I was just reading the article on Verizon an their lack of Windows Phones:
http://wmpoweruser.com/guess-how-far-verizon-has-fallen-in-the-windows-phone-stakes/#more-117499
It amazes me how even much smaller companies are carrying the Windows Phones and Verizon just isn't carrying many.
There's a large market for Windows Phones, but Verizon just doesn't seem to want to be part of it.

<< Personal comment removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >>
Anyway, Windows Phone 8 is far from a "failure". While it's growth has been slow - it has been steady, particularly internationally. "Google" that.
Your comments are nothing more than conjecture, and the original poster made some valid points.
WP8 adoption on Verizon has been mediocre at best compared to other carriers for a few reasons. One being that Verizon offers only a few devices and none of the budget devices that have really carried WP8 sales, such as the Nokia Lumia 520, 521, 620, 625 and 720. Another reason could be that Verizon's forced redesign of the Nokia Lumia's hurt their image and recognition, of the 3 WP8 devices Verizon has carried over the last year and a half, none have had the same design as Lumias available everywhere else - or the vast color selection which make Nokia Lumia's so recognizable. The Lumia has won several design awards for a reason, it makes no sense for Verizon to change it. A result of Verizon's demand on Nokia also delayed the Lumia Icon (a device that has received much praise from the tech community), which should have been released last year - same with the Lumia 928 which wasn't much more than Verizon's version of the 920 but came out several months after.
It actually makes business sense for Verizon to invest at least slightly in Windows Phone, but it seems Microsoft and/or Nokia has decided to align themselves more with AT&T, as they receive nearly all WP8 devices and some exclusives like the Lumia 1020 (the one with the 41 MP camera) and the Lumia 1520 (6" device). So, unfortunately Verizon has resorted to little tricks to differentiate their devices and in reality they have only hobbled them.
I enjoy my Windows Phone so much that if Verizon doesn't offer an adequate device from Nokia in the next month, I'll be leaving for AT&T... and I really don't want to do that, but it's almost like Verizon is sandbagging Nokia.

Only 2 choices for Windows phones now? I'm considering switching carriers just so I have access to more Windows phones.

I know Windows phones aren't as main stream as the other two OS but for those of us that want to sync our Windows devices, this is very important. Give us access to more of the Windows phones that are available. While I'm asking; Bring back the Nokia Windows phones. Nokia has incredible apps that aren't available on other phones. Everyone is always impressed when I show them what my Nokia phone has to offer that no other brands do.

I'm with you.
let's buck the American tradition of being in debt over ever little thing!
Pay for our phones. Keep the least expensive service possible.
If we really want to call the shots, we can buy one of the phones available that can be used on any network. iPhone 6, Google Nexus 6, one plus one, just to drop names.
Imagine what might happen to prices if we can change carriers at any time.

Nokia maps on Windows phone 8 - detail and resolut...

Hello,
I can't really use nokia maps with satellite view, since I will nearly always get low resolution landsat image material instead of the high res images I've already known from windows phone 7.5 and bing maps (I thought bing and nokia were working together??). --> compare attachments: nokia maps on wp8 vs. maps.bing.com
Blending between zoom levels is a catastrophe (compare to google maps, that's the way it should be done, lower zoom levels interpolated from higher zoom levels). Often some layers or the whole material is missing and you will get maps like the attached one, even after some minutes of loading (wlan or 3g/LTE... doesn't matter).

[WINDOWS PHONE] Spotify doesnt Work on WP10 Insider Preview

Deutsch:Liebes Spotify Team, ich darf nun seit einiger Zeit die Windows 10 Preview auf meinem Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 630) nutzen.
Ich habe mir nun gestern Spotify Premium gekauft und es funktioniert nichts!
Die App stürzt sofort ab, wenn ich versuche einen Titel abzuspielen, egal ob Shuffle oder ein Ausgewählter Titel.Ich bitte um hilfe diesbezüglich, oder darum, dass man mir das Geld für den Premium Dienst wiedererstattet. English (sorry for Bad English, using Google Translate):Love Spotify team, I can use the Windows 10 Preview on my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 630) for some time now.
I have now bought yesterday Spotify Premium and it works not!
The app crashes immediately when I try to play a title, whether Shuffle or a selected title.I ask in this regard to help, or about that one again refunded me the money for the premium service.

Hey
Thanks for reaching out to us on the Community.
You'dbe correct in thinking that with Windows phones you would be able to use Spotify for Free. You can find out more information regarding this at this link. Have you tried a quick reinstall of the app? This should help out with this, but let us know how that goes.
We'll be here to help out further, should you need us :)

Lenovo should give BIOS update to C 540 to run windows phone 8 emulator

I bought a new Lenovo C540 yesterday, The main reason to purchase this system was to develop games for windows phone 8 and windows 8. However due to some hidden reason from Microsoft as well as Lenovo, they don't provide Windows 8 Pro version to the user. It was not mention in the purchase items that what kind of Windows 8 user is going to purchase. However I come to know that it was Windows 8 home edition. Thankfully I purchased one license windows 8 Pro so I just upgraded and hyper-v which is essential to run the emulator is found.
But I could not start it. Every time I am going to start it says "The windows phone " emulator could not start because the hypervisor is not running. with error code 0x80131500. After a hell lot of googling I found that in event log
"Hypervisor launch failed; Processor does not provide the features necessary to run the hypervisor (leaf 0x80000001, register 0x3: features needed 0x28100800, features supported 0x28000800)."
I found this problem but the solution is from Lenovo side. Can I get a BIOS update so that I can run emulator in the desktop. It will be great help and definitely my frustration since last 30 hours will end. Why there is so much restriction to the user.

Will there be any reaction from Lenovo? I have tried to contact the support, but they just say, Windows 8 PRO is not supported by the normal Support. I should contact the premium support for 1.99 €/min. I think they can´t help me either, because the only sollution is a bios update. I found an entry at Microsoft where the whole case is discussed. MS Forum
Microsoft consists in the support of SLAT and the Bios from the C540 seems to not give the right infomations to the operation system.
So no one is responsable??!!!!
It would be great to hear a statement from lenovo to this case.
