Problems on certain websites - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a Nokia Lumia 635. My concern is when accessing certain websites in desktop mode and full access, there are particular areas of the site that doesn't work. For example I was filling my profile out for a C.V. It asked to choose a location were I would like to work. I started typing the name in which appeared in a drop down box, so I tapped the location in the drop down box but it would not add it, so as a result I couldn't complete my profile. I've accessed the same site on a desktop computer and added the info with no problems. Is this a bug in internet explorer or is an update required. I'm running windows cyan 8.1 I've not updated to denim as the problem isn't fixed and denim seemed less stable. Thanks in advance

It's a general problem that IE (mobile) has bad compatibility with certain web technology features. You can either try to contact the website owners and ask them to test on IE mobile and fix the bug or try and see if an upgrade solves the issue. Personally, I would go for the update.

Windows Phone update history
We think even great software can always get better. That's why we periodically release Windows Phone software updates to add new features you've asked for and to maximize your phone's performance.
When a software update is available for you to download, we'll let you know. A notice will appear on your phone, telling you to connect your phone to your computer. (For details about the process, see Phone updates.)
To ensure quality, we release updates on a staggered schedule throughout the world. Many factors influence when you'll receive an update, including which phone model you have and which company provides your mobile service. We're committed to delivering updates in a timely manner, but don't be surprised if it takes a few weeks for us to notify you that an update is available for your phone.
The scope of each update varies. Sometimes we'll include only a few minor fixes or tweaks and sometimes we'll include brand-new features. When it's available, we'll also pass along software from phone manufacturers that improves the performance of specific phone models.
See How do I update my phone software? to learn how to check if there's an update available for you to download and which version of the Windows Phone operating system (OS) is currently on your phone.
Here's a summary of what we've included in each update so far.
March 2011
OS version: 7.0.7390.0
•
Copy & paste. You asked for it—now it's here. Just tap a word and drag the arrows to copy and paste it on your phone. You can copy text from emails, text messages, web pages, and Office Mobile documents, and paste it anywhere you can type. To learn more, see Copy & paste.
•
Faster apps and games. Nobody likes to wait. That's why we've whittled down the time it takes for apps and games to start up and resume. It's all part of our focus on getting you to the things you love, easier and faster.
•
Better Marketplace search. We've streamlined Marketplace search to make it easier to find specific apps, games, or music. Press the Search button in the Apps or Games section of Marketplace and you'll see only apps or games in the results. Press Search in the Music section of Marketplace to search just the music catalog.
•
Other Marketplace improvements. We've improved the stability of Marketplace while you download apps. We've also improved the experience of downloading apps larger than 20 megabytes, upgrading from trial apps to paid apps, using a credit card with an address outside the United States, sharing links to apps via email, sorting Xbox LIVE games by release date, and creating an Xbox LIVE account from within the Games Hub.
•
Wi-Fi improvements. We now display your phone's Media Access Control (MAC) address in Settings. (You might need this info if you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that uses MAC address filtering. To learn more, see Connect to a Wi-Fi network.) We've also removed the limit on the number of Wi-Fi profiles that you can store and reduced the time it takes to start your phone if you've stored lots of Wi-Fi profiles.
•
Outlook improvements. We've improved the experience of viewing iPhone photo attachments you receive from a non-Exchange-based email account (such as a Google Mail, Hotmail, or Yahoo! Mail account), using the Global Address List (GAL) when connecting to Exchange Server 2003 using Exchange ActiveSync, and working with email display names that contain brackets (for example, "David Alexander [Contoso]").
•
Messaging improvements. We've improved the experience of receiving Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages if your phone uses a PIN-locked SIM.
•
Facebook integration. We've improved the experience of syncing Facebook accounts.
•
Camera improvements. We've improved the stability of switching between camera and video modes.
•
Audio improvements. We've improved the experience of using a Bluetooth headset to make calls when you're playing music or videos.
•
Other performance improvements. This month's update also includes software from several phone manufacturers that improves the performance of specific models. Naturally, if you don't have one of the affected models, we won't install this portion of the update on your phone.
February 2011
OS version: 7.0.7008.0

We made some improvements to the way we deliver software updates to ensure that the process keeps working smoothly for you.

did you try plugging it in to a computer with zune installed?
Zune still reports 7.0 (7008) for me (UK)
Hmmm... This seems to be good news. I am in Canada and my HD7 still says that I dont have any updates as of yet so I guess the waiting game begins.
Does anyone happen to know if there is a reported schedule for which countries the update will be going top first and then in what sequence from there?
HD7 my t mobile usa .. There is no update for me. ?
ok here in greece!updated!
Switzerland still no update
Unbranded (to Euro) O2 UK, received the update.

Microsoft is slowly distributing the update to a number of unbranded devices worldwide and owners should see the update notification shortly. Carrier branded devices are a whole different story. A number of mobile operators, Orange, O2 and AT&T blocked the first Windows Phone 7 patch update when it was originally released. It’s not yet clear when carrier branded devices will receive update notifications. WinRumors understands that O2 UK should be pushing the update to its range of devices on March 24.
I had installed the "xda" nodo via gold card, and it still wants me to update (could it be footballs euro release was not GOLD<g>), anyhoo here goes nothing...
Schmoo!

Football release was 7389 version...I think that this is the "official" update from Microsoft (7390)
Thanks,

same here. no update on my branded phone in austria (A1)
Interesting - it all worked, but it only kept the last restore point (it blatted the previous one)!
Schmoo
Well I won't waste any time looking for diffs so! Football rules (if I didn't mention before LOL)
Schmoo
Actually from a serious point of view - I could have fernangled zune backups so I could always return to a V1 side-loadable OS.
Also I bet these backups are in some password protected VHD format (since MS have been using them for many things of late - including the VM WMP7, and WHS V1 backups)
Hmmmm,
Gordon.
What broadband ISP you use in greece..??
Still wait for the T-Mobile Version
Unbranded to Euro O2UK, no update as of yet! Waiting game begins once again.

After you flash your device up and running in no time u will get another update, that one will be the official update from MS using zune.
My method will give u OS:7.0.73890 then the zune will give u the OS:7.0.7390.0

Yes that will do it but it gives me a us keybourd thanx
And i'll lose my sideloaded navigon !!
I'm on O2 in the UK and there is no update for me after using this method.
If I use your update without goldcard will I not lose all my data and texts from my phone. Also what about my linked contacts from Facebook, live and my outlook account?
P.S. closing Skype finally let me unlock the phone.
Also, is the connection manager the same as the HTC connection manager? Or should I uninstall that first before sideloading?

I need working ssh client

Hi
My phone lumia 930 so windows 8.1
I have seen on US market is Putty, unfortunately cannot download it because stay in uk
I tried to change region for US in phone but doesn't work
Anyone have idea how to install apps from other country app store or know working ssh client which will connect with my qnap nas server?
There's lots of WP SSH clients. I haven't tested them all on 8.1, but they should work. Have you considered just checking the store for "ssh"?
The one I use is called "The SSH Client". The free version works quite well, although there's a paid version with more features.
Yeah, there is few of them and some working but in lan only.
If I'm trying get connected from outside my lan will revive only : This port is not supported by ssh.
Port is properly redirected but different as standard.
Any way it shouldn't be a problem I have putty on my windows rt and connecting without any problems.

Well if you're familiar with SSH then you must of heard about PUTTY , so i'm happy to inform you that there is a working WP8 version of PUTTY, for now it's in closed beta, but you can be part of it, just be sure to drop the developer an email( the default MS account on the device ) for beta access at [email protected]
Can confirm eventhou it's still in beta it's working like a charm.
PROOF : PUTTY
Any decent SSH client, including the one I recommended, supports custom ports... but hey, that PuTTY looks pretty good too!

Indeed it is. I'm the developer behind the PuTTY port, glad to see it getting some love. Tunnelling is supported in the latest version but still has a few bugs to iron out and I am also working on support for serial over bluetooth too

Hi...great to see some input from the dev., I'm an system admin and rely heavily on your app. so thank you for bringing this awesome tool to WP.
Also maybe it's time to make the app public, as I don't have any problems with it, so general everyone should be fine with it.
Many thanks again.

Yup, there are a few things that need sorting out. For some people it occasionally crashes when they connect and it's related to loading the sound files used for the system beep and the keyboard clicks. I've not been able to get to the bottom of that yet but the next minor update has some improved crash reporting which should help.
There is also a few people experiencing some problems whilst tunnelling.
I can't reproduce either of this bugs though in the emulator or any of my phones. Once they're sorted though I should be taking it public

Neither of those affected me, maybe poor net signal is the culprit of tunnelling errors.
Can I really view internal system files using SHSH client on WP? I own Lumia 920.
No, you would need an SSH *server* for that. I don't have one of those (although it should be possible to write or port one), but an FTP / Telnet server is pretty easy.
Alternatively, you can use the Webserver app in my signature.
Note that in either case, this will let you browse only small parts of the file system (the Windows directory and the application's own directories). The AllCapabilities version of the webserver has more access (it can see other apps, your documents and media folders, OEM folders, and the entire SD card), but is still restricted. You need capability-unlock (usually means a Samsung phone) to install the AppCaps version of the app.

First week with Windows

Hello
And happy new year to everyone!
This is my first week on Lumia 735 after being 6 years with Android.
I like very much it's desktop, but there are some simple things that I thought until now I would figure out but I cannot find a solution....
1. How can I download a PDF from an email and then attach it to another email?
2. Is there a way to have a shortcut on notification bar for data connection?
3. Is there a way to remove Bing and get Google as default engine?
4. Is there a way to tide up settings? I feel that are randomly scattered...
5. Is there a way to open a new tab in internet explorer, but open in background? Cause we are always transferred to the new tab.
Thanks!
I'm on the same phone since about 4-5 days, so I have not yet answers for you, but another question to add:
- why on some apps the keyboard doesn't turn in landscape mode when I flip the phone? I found it working on some apps only, but in Bing search (just an example) it remains in portrait
EDIT: a bit of googling partially answers to 3: I'm a newbie so I don't know if I can link external sites here, but it seems you can change the default search engine in Internet Explorer in the browser settings (so when you type words in the address bar, it uses Google instead of Bing). Regarding the phone search button, maybe the trick is not so easy...
1. did you see download in email message? click on that link to download file to your phone.
2. with latest WP OS 8.10.14219.341 you can add mobile data shortcut in action center
or use Quick Launch app from store
3. settings - applications - internet explorer, select advanced settings and change to google
4. no... latest updated is always at end of list...
5. not exactly... try UC Browser 8.1, maybe you like it better than IE
Download a app named File attacher,it can help you to attach any files into outlook client.
Sent from my AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 using Tapatalk for Windows Phone
1) Download the file to your phone. You can then open it from the email (which will let you choose what PDF viewer to open it with, if you have more than one installed; some of them directly support sharing) or you can then switch to a file manager app (Files, Pocket File Manager, Aerize Explorer, etc.), go to the Downloads directory, and share the file from there. When "sharing" the file, one option will be to use email; this will attach the file to the email. This approach also works for other file types, by the way.
2) As dxdy says, you need to be on a new OS version (you may need to be using the "Preview for Developers" app) to get the ability to add mobile data specifically to the Action Center (swipe-from-top notification area thing) but there are lots of other ways (tons of free apps, for example) to pin a link to it on your Start screen. You can also have both WiFi and Airplane Mode toggles on the Action Center, even in less-than-newest versions.
3) Not unless you're in Russia, I think? You may be able to change the IE default search engine using the method dxdy posted above, but if you want to change the search button behavior, that's trickier. I think in Russia (or possibly just tell your phone you are), if you have the Google app installed, it may run that... haven't tried, though.
4) Settings are, unfortunately, not directly orderable. The default order for Microsoft-provided settings is basically "what MS has found people use most often", thus things like visual and audio customization are at the top, WiFi is on the first page, and stuff like Backup requires scrolling down a bunch. There's also OEM customizations, which are technically just Store apps that are pre-installed and use the Settings hub instead of the normal app list; those are always listed underneath all the Microsoft settings, and (as dxdy says), the one that was most recently installed/updated is at the top of that section ('top of the bottom of the list' if you will).
5) Doesn't seem to be any such way in IE, but there's lots of other browsers. Most of them just wrap the IE rendering engine, so pages will look the same as on IE but the UI can be totally different. This includes changes to tab management. They won't sync with your other devices, at least not by default, though. There's also a beta of Opera for WP8; it still has some bugs but mostly works and has a very different UI from IE. Annoyingly, though, Microsoft doesn't allow any of those apps to be set as the default browser (you can't change the URI association for http:/https: for example).
@axxel84: It depends on whether the app supports landscape mode. That requires work from the developer, since they have to change the layout of everything, so a lot of apps don't support it. If the app doesn't support it, then it will be locked in one orientation no matter how you turn it, keyboard included. Some apps (mostly games) are also locked in landscape mode only, and don't support portrait.
Hi guys, thanks for the help but I am still finding difficult to compose with windows after coming from fully updated Android phones.
- pdf attachments, not possible. You can see that you download files but no where to be seen in order to attach them in another email! What????
- the option to change Bing to Google was in the past, but they don't have it on new phones. And this is the company that wants to increase market share? With these kind of acts I don't think they will last many years...
- I found a way to have a shortcut on desktop that takes me to settings and there to click on for data. But why don't they include this in notification option? How difficult is this?????
- the other frustrating thing I am feeling, is that most other times when resuming an app when I go out and then in, it starts the"resuming" screen and takes 5 seconds to load... For example viber, I can't chat instantly with someone, I have to leave the program on continuously to do this
- no led notification. I should have known earlier by reading reviews, but there is no led notification!!
- no major apps as official pinterest, dropbox, instagram, sms backup to gmail. My biggest disappointment is Dropbox... I am thinking of selling the phone now and going back to Android. Having two small twins, I take continuously videos and photos, and I don't want to think about backup. I found another application but doesn't sync videos automatically. And also the backup app of windows doesn't do automatically the job... If I was windows I would hire people to help these companies develop the "big" apps...
- notification center doesn't always work. for example when a new app is downloaded, nothing comes app on notification. Or in viber you might get 10 messages on notification, if you click one and then in viber you read all, they remain on notification
Nobody seems to have emailed me a PDF recently, but I can download them from the web and they show up in my Downloads folder (on my SD card, since that's where I told Storage Sense to put new downloads). From there, I can see it in Aerize Explorer, select it, Share it, and choose an email account; a new message is created with the file attached.
Some new phones have the option for Google search, but it's not in all regions.
As you have ALREADY been told, the option to toggle data service from the Action Center is available in the latest version. It's also largely un-needed; Data Sense and related settings should give you enough control over your data usage to make it fairly unimportant. Mind you, I agree that it should have been there from the start, but asking rhetorical questions isn't actually helpful.
The "Resuming..." screen can come up for two reasons (or a combo thereof):
1) Badly-coded app that does a bunch of stuff immediately on resume, before it lets you use the app.
2) Your phone ran low on RAM and removed the app from background execution ("tombstoned" it, sort of like hibernating a laptop), so it needs to be restored from the Flash storage and then resumed.
Lots of phones don't have notification LEDs. That's not a WP8 thing, that's a "if this feature is important to you then you ought to buy a phone with that feature" thing. My HTC has a notification LED, my Samsung did not. Both are/were WP8 devices.
Automatic backup of photos and videos is included in the OS, has been included since WP7 actually, but it goes to OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) instead of Dropbox. Microsoft software uses Microsoft services; this isn't really surprising.
SMS is automatically backed up as well, just not to Google. Why would Microsoft include a feature to back up your messages to a competitor's service?
Lack of official apps is somewhat annoying/disappointing, but you could have easily enough checked that before buying, and the apps will come in time. In the meanwhile, there's usually third-party versions of those apps.
App downloads are fast, and you know when you started them. Why would you need a notification for that? As for the thing with Viber, it's not the OS' fault that the app doesn't report when a message is read. Notifications are really easy to clear though, just swipe them to the right and all notifications for that app will clear (or hit the "clear all" button to get rid of all of them at once).

I tried to do all these instructions but got an error with "IpOverUsb", which did not manage to solve. In task manager this service is running, but crashes constantly. Does anyone knows, how to solve this issue?
So, tried this on my testing device (Lumia 830), but am getting Error Code 14 which suggests my device isn't supported?
Did anyone else get this, of anyone got it working on a Lumia 830?
APK to W10M Tool
Hi everyone!
I'm Antonio de la Iglesia from Microsoft Insider, a Microsoft fan spanish website. I've released a tool to do everything for you, one install, no command lines, etc. Only you have to drag an drop the apk in the box:
Download link is on: bit dot ly 1MddHUK (I can't post links or images, sorry)
Applications I tested and are working: Angry Birds 2, Plants vs. Zombies 2, Impossible Road, Facebook Messenger (head chat only works inside the app), Facebook, Whatsapp, Fruit Ninja, Dumb Way to Dies 2.
Apps that have not worked: Never Alone (stuck on a black screen), Prince of Persia Shadow and Flame (not start), The Room Two (eternally in the loading screen), Storm Rush (missing textures), Heartstone ( forever on the pub entrance screen ).
And I wanted to talk with yours about Snapchat. Currently it is impossible to use the official due to check with the services google, put the Casper can be installed. I can login and view snaps, but the native Casper camera does not work (is a black image). It is possible to make the camera work going in the settings and switching to the native camera phone however it does not help much. With this option activate the camera opens and I shot the photo but when I confirm, the application simply returns to the home screen without letting me post. If I enable the "Chose document chooser", when trying to choose a photo in the gallery I will have access to Windows applications choice of menu and I can get there in the gallery, camera or drive but it does not help much because that:
The Android has no access to the Windows file system and Windows also does not have access to Android file system . You do not need to activate the Blackbary option for camera work, it will open even without this option . The problem is that when you take the picture it is saved in a Windows directory and then when he tries to send to Casper, HERE IS ERROR . The camera does not have access to android files . The same applies to the gallery. If you enable the " Chose document chooser ", by clicking on the gallery you will be brought to application choice screen. Here you can choose the camera and the phone's own gallery. Again , when you select a photo from gallery an error occurs saying that was not possible use the file. This is again because the gallery can not send the file to Casper . Here is the whole problem.
My girlfriend is pissed me off to make this application work and I can not . I am in contact with Caster developer also to try to fix the problem. if we can bypass this issue of access to the file system , I'm sure it would work. You guys have any idea ? Sorry for my bad English. It is not my first language .
For Developers mode on Windows 10 Mobile crashing
Hey guys. I'm new to software development on Windows Phone but I've been using my Lumia devices for more than a year and a half now. Lately, I've been testing the builds for Windows 10 Mobile. I am currently on build 10166 running on my Lumia 1520. Due to the recent development, I tried to install APK files on it via the leaked Project Astoria porting tool and it worked great until the "For Developers" option started to crash and I am unable to install the APKs anymore since I can no longer pair my device to the sideloading app on my PC.
I've downloaded the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK as they said that I can "unregister" my device from there and it will regain access to the "For Developers" settings on my Windows 10 Mobile. After the installation, I plugged my phone in to my laptop and then I tried to hit Connect from the SDK, but I ran into an error that says "Waiting for Update Pack" wherein it prompts me to install an update. After i click update, an error code 0x80004003 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Says something about Phone Tools Update Pack. How can i get through this?

Server error. Error Code=1?
So not matter what method I do or what version of windows my PC is running(I've tried 8.1, and 10) I keep getting the same error "Creating session... Server Error. Error Code=1" and that goes for APK Deployment Application a trying it with the wconnect.exe through CMD.
Anyone got a clue as to how to fix this error, I haven't ran crossed it yet on any of the sites covering this. I'd hate to have update my Lumia 1520 to 10 just to find out my only reasoning for doing so was a bust...
how?
How did you guys do this deactivate developer tools using Windows Phone 8.1 SDK. Can someone post a direct link the download. Every time I search for it, it pulls up Visual Studio. I'm sure that where it is but I've played around with visual studio and I'm not seeing this deactivate developer mode......
Keyboard problem
Hi Everyone!
I tried a lot of android applications in my Lumia 930 (build 10166) - for example: german dictionaries, dumb ways to die 2 game, lumosity, outlook web app... and so on- and everything was just perfect. Hovewer, when I get the windows 10 update 10512 my applications become useless, because I can not use the keyboard in the applications (not come up), so I cant fill in the necessary field, for example to log in to my account. I tried to delete and install apps again, but it doesnt help.
Does anybody has an idea to solve my problem?
Thanks for your help!
AFter upgrade my Lumia 1520 to latest build 10512 then I cannot active keyboard in Android app.

Keyboard problem since 10512
Since my update to 10512 the keyboard doesn't open in sideloaded apks
Anyone with a similar problem?
Sadly, I will need to report that Sideloading APK's on the latest build 512 (At least on the 1520) is causing the windows keyboard to not load. This means you cannot type at all in the app. Will continue working on this and report a solution if found.
