Okay so, I just got my sister to buy 2 Lumia 520's for my nieces for Christmas.
I installed the preview for developers app on both and updated them to 8.0.10521.155
The versions for OS, Firmware Hardware, Radio and SOC match exactly on both devices. And on both I can close programs from the multi task preview.
However only one of them installed amber. Actually I think it just did it this morning because the store showed like 19 updates and they were all nokia apps extras+info and so forth. So I of course allowed the download. But so far have not seen those updates available on the other device.
So on settings Extras+Info, one of them shows Amber but the other one still shows 1.9.1.42
I've attached screen grabs from both
Then (what you can't see from the screen grab) at the bottom if I tap Additional Info
the one that does have amber, also shows Application Version 3.3.3.2 at the bottom
Thanks for any advice.
you can either just wait for the updates to show up (the store takes some time) or download Sysapp Pusher and update extras&infos, display etc manually.
If you have the same firmware on both Lumia 520, then you are with the Lumia Amber Firmware on both phones.
Update extras+info app via SysApp Pusher app.
I read that Microsoft closed the fiddler loophole, is this still true, I just picked up an htx 8x and tried to run nokia portal but it failed did it fail because the loophole is gone or am I missing something?
A question from a totally new windows phone noob.
Long time ago i buy an app for check my phone balance (calls credit, mobile data MB left), now that application was removed from store and i cant reinstall that because i changed my phone from HTC HD7 to Lumia 1520.
My question is: i have the XAP file of that app downloaded from official store before the remove, if i dev unlock (basic unlock - 2 apps) my Lumia 1520 i can install that application?
Thanks
Can you open xap with 7-Zip and view files inside ?
I have 2 XAP of that app.
1 is opened by 7-zip the other not
U can deploy the opened variant.

For deploy i need "2 app unlock" or i can simply install with the SD card tip?
A little background: Sometime around the end of the WP7 lifetime, Microsoft started encrypting Store apps with DRM. Those cannot be sideloaded using app deployment, though they can be installed via the SD card if the app is allowed to be installed at all. The bold part is important; installing from SD still requires accessing the store to get a license for the app, and Microsoft can just not give you one.
Non-DRMed apps (recognizable because you can open them as ZIP archives) can be deployed using Application Deployment if your phone is developer-unlocked (the 2-app unlock is fine) and the app doesn't require any special capabilities (for WP7.x apps, that just means the app doesn't have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in its manifest). If there's a file called WMAppPRHeader.xml in the .XAP, you'll need to remove it before deploying.
If the app has ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in its WMAppManifest.xml file, you'll need to interop-unlock the phone first. This is now possible for Lumia phones with SD cards, such as the 1520. I'm not going to explain the details of doing it here; they're easy to find on the forum in the dev&hacking section especially.
Note that an app which has been un-published may simply no longer work. Many apps have to talk to a server somewhere for the app to function. That server might no longer be available for your app. This is pretty common for unpublished apps; no reason to keep a server running for an app nobody is using (or it could be the other way around; they might have unpublished the app because it wasn't worth the cost to keep the server running and without the server the app is useless). Basically, even if you get the app to install and run, there's no guarantee that it'll work.
has anyone successfully installed the AWS Workspaces app? Everytime I try to install it, it says my phone is not compatible.
Thanks
For some reason, they restrict it to tablets only. Not sure if it's by device name, or screen size.

So it turns out you have to install the app from the samsung app store versus the google play store. I successfully was able to install it when I went to the Samsung app store
My mum uses a 735 as she finds its easier to use than android, but i'm her tech support (i always use android) so i just bought a 735 from ebay just so i can talk my mum through how to do things if she's stuck (she's 81)
I'm having trouble signing in to my hotmail account on the phone, it seems like it's not finding any server to connect to.
Is it only the store & support that finished?
I should still be able to log into my HM account on the phone?
Sorry, but Windows Phone 8.1's support has officially ended since 2018 (I think), and has finally plugged out its services since December 2019. The only option is to either upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile or switch to another os. If you can't due to some various and valid reasons, you can try unlocking the phone for dev use (dev unlock) and deploy xap/appx/appxbundle files of apps you like to install... But that includes luck if someone else has that. (I don't want to promote piracy, but you need pirated/cracked xap/appx files in order to deploy them without error)
If you just wanted to add an email provider, use the "advanced setup" option in settings > email+accounts.
Unless someone has finally found the solution for WP 8.1 without upgrading to Windows 10 to install apps from the Store, you have to rely on finding deploying app files in the Internet.
