I'm using Windows Mobile since almost four years. I like it very much due to its functioning and security. Now I'm running Windows 10 OS. I had some experience of reseting of my phone. Great sad news is the downloading of apps each time. It's very sad to download again medium apps and big files of games which I play daily. There are some sites which provide some windows phone app files. But not every thing. Most of windows 10 mobile apps, especially UWP apps, can't be downloaded other than from windows store.
Is there any way we can get xap/appx/appxbundle formatted app files from phone itself?

I love this program , although after trying zune, I can not deploy apps from Zune, I can see them and sync from Zune , but I cant deploy apps , just curious if theres a connection between the two? Windows Phone Marketplace v1.6.2 (i believe this is a homebrew )

There is no relation between zune and that app.
PS: Yeah, I also think this is a homebrew... but I am not really sure.
There is no connection between the two. You should be able to install apps from zune, but not by using a deployer. Zune deploys the app its self. So there is no reason to want to use any deployment tool to install apps from zune to phone, you should try using eried's desktop marketplace, as it is the best way to get apps and also deploy's them to phone. If you are trying to deploy large games as app from zune or from your phone, you will have to use wifi to download the app and install.
This is Eried's deployer , the thing is it works great, I really dont use Zune at all ,I only use this program , but I tried Zune the other day and the marketplace apps show , but the download button isnt showing ,so I cant download anything off of zune , I have 2 Samsung focus, one works fine (now hacks ,just stock) and my regular use fone with all the hacks, this just started a few days ago, I havent changed any registry settings other than unlock
Well in zune take for instance, if you wanted twitter, you would click on free and then accept. then it will launch and install. thats how it did me, it didnt show a download either for me.
IT WASNT SHOWING THE FREE BUTTON! Its fixed now though!
Hi, I've created simple proof-of-concept project, how to bypass WinRT sandbox limitations in Metro apps using local service.
Sample + guide is here:
http://suchan.cz/wp7/OutOfSandboxSample.7z
Edit: updated sample for Visual Studio 2012 RTM and Windows 8 RTM, it still works.
Let me know, what you think about real usability and impact on the Windows 8 Metro app model
By design Metro application cannot access underlying PC directly, only using WinRT API and available capabilities. But when you create back-end service for accessing the PC and all data there, it's basically no longer running in sandbox.
The only "problem" is that user must manually install this back-end service, but that won't be a problem using some "social engineering":
User downloads "PC browser" Metro app, user can browse all pictures, music and videos, using WinRT API, but the app also shows message at the bottom:
"Download our PC browser powerpack and browse your entire PC, for FREE"
User is redirected to web page, from where user can download classic desktop installer containing "PC browser" back-end service for accessing files on users entire PC. Once this desktop service is installed, the Metro app can detect it and use it for browsing the entire PC. User is happy, but the WinRT sandbox is compromised.
Of course this won't work on Windows 8 ARM tablets. Using this workaround it could be even possible to build Metro apps for classic desktop apps like antiviruses, torrent/P2P clients, etc.

The idea should be implemented into windows live or Zune that automatically resyncs all of your apps if you switch a device. I know there is an app to recover this info but it would be very nice upon initial setup that it give u the option to add the most recent apps from your last device. I love how simple windows live makes of syncing your contacts during initial setup. This process would involve the device doing a backup save of your last device

A while back MS had a job posting asking for someone to help with exactly this. I suspect it means this feature will come proabaly with Apollo.

This is one of the best features of later android setups:
Setup gmail account, allow it to sync, and depending on connection speed between 5 and 15 minutes later, all your apps, info, contacts, even the wallpaper are exactly as the last device.
Using 3-4 different devices at once (same login) is as painful as swapping a sim.
Awesomeness.
Apollo = speculation, and when ?
Even updating my phone I had to literally write down most of my apps becuase I didnt purchase the apps from my computer through Zune most of the time. It took me forever to get them back. So painful. I hope they implement this soon, that would be great
this is the app that I use, pretty damn useful

Hello,
I consider changing my good old galaxy s. I'm wondering whether I should stick with Android or move towards windows phone. I wanted to know from users is it worth it? I read that there is am issue with the memory, currently on my galaxy I have about 700 mb full of apps, I don't play games or use navigation other than google maps on rare occasions. Will the storage suffice for that? How big are windows phone apps?
Is 512 mb enough? Does the phone lag with it? What are its advantages/disadvantages over the Nokia Lumia 620?

Don't bother the phone is awful
Hi,
I've had the 8S for 4 months now and bought it as my main comms. device and to develop apps on.
It has too many weaknesses:
* Can't use many (>5) apps (e.g. Facebook) on it before running out of memory.
* Can only store apps and their data on internal memory (4gb).
* Is laggy on anything but the most basic app... certainly not suitable for testing apps or playing games.
* Zune on the PC no longer recognises or syncs with Windows Phone 8 devices.
Synchronisation of media is now convoluted and involves:
- Beta software from Microsoft's combined with iTunes or PC Zune OR
- Buy third party software (e.g. MediaMonkey) OR
- PC Zune and Windows Media Player (ugh!).
Miscellaneous problems:
* I installed a class 10 32Gb SD card and found you can't fill with more than half its capacity before phone slows to a crawl on media apps and complains about running out of memory on the 4gb internal... presumably due to temporary or journal files in the 4gb.
* Phone keeps switching to roaming even though I'm still in my country of origin and stops data services unless you explicitly activate data roaming, meaning a risk of additional charges if you travel.
* Lock-up and random reboots, every couple of days.
I prefer Windows Phone 8 as an OS, but it seems to me we've reached another VHS / Betamax moment in history where Android will become the preferred operating system if the 8S is typical of the sort of device Microsoft gets their operating systems onto.
If you've any sense, stay away from this awful phone.

I will stay with Android I guess, I wanted to try windows phone on a mid end device, before going to some of the flagships. I read many bad reviews online about the general performance of windows phones.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I feel I should weigh in with my experience of the phone and OS. I run the following without issues (other than the various app bugs that exist in each app):
textPlus
Whatsapp
Facebook
Twitter
Tumblr
Skype
2degrees Mobile App
HTC Weather & Clock App
5 GMail accounts, Contacts & Calenders on Push & 7 Day Email Storage
Box.net App
Game: Carcassone
Game: Angry Birds
Game: Plants vs Zombies
10GB of music on SD Card
Everything listed Email and above is on constantly in the background with Live Tiles and Push Notifications enabled. I have 280mb of internal space left after a month of this configuration, no reboots and no freezes. My only issue with games is Carcassone auto backgrounding itself and kicking me to XBL Game app but this is an app issue, not a phone one - I can immediately resume it.
The HTC 8S is not a power user phone, it's designed to be used as a connectivity device. If you just want to use it in a similar fashion to me then you will be fine (though you will have to uninstall some games to make space for OTA updates when they drop - you need 500mb after all)
In regards to the OS, I left a flagship droid device to come to this phone because the OS performs better and is far more stable and reliable as a phone. A lot of WP reviews are written by Droid or iOS lovers, or people who only played with the phone for a few hours. The OS works differently to iOS and Droid, and a lot of them cannot handle that - it's like when people complain all MMOs are not WoW, or all FPS games are not COD. I suggest you go to a store and try one instead of reading reviews
Hi,
Do have anyone news about coming apps for Windows 8 RT?
I'm happy with my Surface 2 but sometimes I'm thinking about the apps. So why they're need so much time to create any kind of app for Windows 8?
For example, "Candy Crush" is very popular on any system (iOS or Android) but why they need so long to think about it to implement this on Windows 8. I think Windows 8 is stable now and also ready for all these other apps.
What's your impression?
BR,
PatBadAzz
It's all about how many users you will get.
My impression is that the Facebook Flash version works just fine in IE on Windows 8/RT. The only reasons I can think of to have an app would be to play when no internet connection is available, or if you want to play it completely separate from Facebook. Then again, I'm kind of an app minimalist...

Well... u're right but I'm not wanna play some games via Facebook and I'm using the Facebook app not the IE. So I prefer apps for games ...
