Hi All,
I'm planning to get the Nokia 920. I've had Samsung Focus (original) since WP7 first launched and have many apps that I've bought.
How does it work upgrading from WP7.5 to WP8?
I know somewhere online on the WP7 site, there is a list of all apps. Is there an easy way to re-download those apps or do I have to search and download them individually? Also, what about other stuff on the phone?
Is there an easy way to back-up and upgrade to Nokia 920?
I've heard about WP8 not supporting Zune and am kind of confused how it works.
Has anybody here upgraded from 7.5 to WP8?

You can redownload your apps from the web. when you goto your previous purchase's you can "send to phone" in order for it to redownload on the phone.
Also, for purchases you can click buy on the phone as if you were going to buy it again and it will give it to you again for free.

As far as Zune, Zune has died. Its been replaced in part by Xbox Music. If you had a Zune Pass, it converted to an XBOX Music pass. You can check out the details over at Xbox.com/music.
WP8 does not use Zune to sync anymore. Its a convoluted method but there are multiple ways to get music over to your phone. They involve a new( but not better) content syncing app, and the Cloud.
In general, all your old content should play ok from Zune to Xbox and onto the phone. Some people have had problems and MS is looking into what resolution are available.
Phone updates are now handled OTA and do not require being plugged into an app....that we know of yet.
The general concept of Xbox music is ok. With Cloud based streaming, and availability across all devices, its a good idea. Implementation has been...less than awesome, yet. I've had very few problems with it...but some people have...
Anyway, in general, you shouldn't have a problem.
I see that online on the WP7 website, it shows my WP7 purchases - unfortunately, it doesn't load up all the apps that I have downloaded. Seems like it shows on the paid apps. I have a bunch of free apps and it would be a major pain to try and find them all and install them again on the new phone.
Anybody find a better way to do this?

Hi,
I want to try the app on my nokia lumia 520, my phone is dev unlocked, but i can't find the Nokia Beamer xap. Can anyone help me?
Thank you,
Medve
Nokia Photo Beamer is on Nokia market.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Nokia Beamer only works on devices with 1 GB of RAM or higher. Those devices get Nokia Beamer automatically with the Lumia Black update or, in the case of newer devices with Lumia Black, ship with it installed by default.
Thanks,
Yes, you know correctly, but i want to try It, but the Lumia 520's got only 512mb RAM. I heard if i Dev. Unlock my Phone, I can install aps, wich need more Power. I downloaded the XAP from the Marketplace, but it's encrypted, and the SDK app deployment won't deploy to my Phone. So I need the decrypted XAP, or maybe an another method. Can anyone upload the decrypted XAP( if you downloaded the Nokia Beamer from the Marketplace, It Will be on your Phone.) or write an another method?
OR any alternative instead?
Thank you,
Medve

Dev unlock only allows you to sideload apps that use tier 3 capabilities (which is the same as most of the apps published in the store), so you gain nothing in terms of "power", just the ability to sideload homemade apps.

We can't just pull decrypted XAPs from our phones... You need interop unlock for that (and possibly more), and so far that's only achieved on Samsung phones. Your best chance is to get someone with an unlocked Samsung device to install Beamer by using the proxy trick, then posting the XAP so you can sideload. But be aware this can potentially create new issues - it's an OEM app, so it probably uses capabilities not covered by dev unlock (which means you won't be able to sideload).
Or you can just try the proxy trick yourself. Change the device model to something with 1GB and it should be available for download.

Do a google search on how to trick the store into thinking you own a different device than you actually do. The tutorial may even be on this forum, so have a look around...
Quite possible that it still checks for the RAM requirement when it's launched, even if you manage to install it.
Even when people run games like Temple Run 2 on 512 MB RAM devices, sideloaded, the XAP needs to be modified and have that check removed, or they will not launch, as far as I know. No idea on how this is done or even how the people who do this get their hands on decrypted XAPs, though.

Yeah, that's quite possible. But there's really no way of knowing without trying...
Thanks for the help
I found 2 proxy servers, but they are unavalibe. Are you know working proxy servers?
I heard if the phone dont't have the minimum amount of RAM, I can't install the app with proxy trick. It is true?
Thank you,

You can use fiddler to set up your own computer as a proxy...
IIRC the store doesn't specifically check for the amount of RAM the device has, only model, firmware and OS version, etc. and then makes conclusions based on that. So if you tell the store you have, say a 1520 instead of the 520, the store will assume your phone has 2 GB of RAM.

Can't install Lumia beamer on my 822.
Is there a way to sideload it?
Hi everyone..
This is a second account,i cant gain info on my first but i kept info on this second account..
I read topics an scope the crazy things this website offers..
I need some answers/help please.
1.i have a simple desktop i use for now an run blue stacks on it for android..
It manage games well enough but every update to a game called jungle heat it lags.
i tried cleaning the game data from within bluestacks app settings,,defragging bluestacks data folder from the hardware itself an so on..
If someone can help me on this please do...
Because of my issue above,,i did some heavy ready but no good results an i am a bit tired.
i have tried other emu's but bluestacks runs enjoyable on my current desktop..
I came across android-x86-4.4-RC1.installed it an it feels so smooth an it feeds off of my 2 gig mem in a nice way compared to running a windows then starting an emu an then a game....
I would LOOOOOOVE to move in a brand new direction with Android OS..
My problem-
i get the (unfortunately app has stopped) issue when i try to run some apps but mainly games.
If i switch from my discrete graphics card an use my old onboard intel,it shows the drivers are there and it runs more apps but no game.
Also it auto config a better resolution.
If i use my discrete gpu,it shows my gpu info with null drivers,i get less resolution an little support with apps..
Can someone help me with this please...i would love to use the android os as default system.

i tried genymotion a few minutes ago..it looks nice but its build for a more updated pc..
my only option is bluestacks or the android os..
i downloaded more versions of android os to test out but i am off to work..overall if someone can help thanks.
also i am on an hp desktop..cpu-intel P4 or 3 [forgot] with dual at 3mhz/gpu-nvidia 430 evga/ram-2 gigs
First off I like to state that this is NOT an official release of Citra for Android , although the link's to the source code is included. There's argument over licencing as apparently the source code doesn't complie. I'm no coder I'll leave that for other's to investigate
This build will run almost all games at 100% speed at native resolution , just tick the Jit Cpu in settings
You will need decrypted roms to play , and you must change the file extension to .cci

Enjoy
