Deploy failed

I have installed successfully Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone on Windows 7 64-bit.

But when I try to start debugging new project (F5) I receive following rerror message:

There were deployment errors. Continue ? -> Yes

and another message:

Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: key

In the result I have deploy failed. What can be the reason of these errors. How can I test my project on my Windows Phone device?
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Hitting "continue" after it tells you there are errors is pretty silly, of course it won't work to debug if you couldn't deploy the app! Try first making sure the app compiles, then making sure it deploys, then that it actually runs (it should, but I've had cases where it didn't), and *then* try debugging it...

If you get any errors along the way, try to fix them then and only post here if you can't figure it out or find the solution online.

This All worked thanks, but To unlock dev doesnt (the registration tool doesnt vind My Phone) Lumia 920.. Ipoverusb is running.. Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Are you able to see the phone in Windows Explorer? Maybe there's something wrong with the cable (charge-only cable without data wires?) or with the drivers (check Device Manager?) or perhaps the cable is just loose or you forgot to unlock the phone or something... Also, the dev registration app requires Internet access (and so does the phone, either cellular or WiFi should work though), but I'm guessing that's not the problem.

I've downloaded the ISO as instructed and extracted the contents. I then downloaded the custom WPexpress_full file posted in this thread and wrote that over the one in the folder.

any guess what's wrong on my part?

Running Win7x64...

Edit: figured out that I had to change the date to some time during 2013.. works now - thanks!

Yeah, the signing certificate appears to have expired at the end of the year or some such thing. Kind of silly and easy to work around, but adding a step describing how would be good...
[Windows Phone 8 General] CamilaRamos:
Hello guys, I have just installed the SDK using the executable for W7, and now I'm getting started with developing for WP8. I'm trying to run my first example application from the DevCenter and I just can't seem to find a way to do it so. First, as the guide says, I should have the emulator option on the deployment target dropdown menu, which I don't. Then I tried running my app by just hitting the Start button, and then i get the following error: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2610152&stc=1&d=1393801352

Am I doing something wrong? If so, how should I proceed on testing my apps?
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Win7 does not have, and can not run, the emulator. It's a Hyper-V based virtual machine, and Win7 doesn't support Hyper-V.
[Windows Phone 8 General] CamilaRamos:
Soooo, how should I be able to test my apps in this case?
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
By installing the SDK on Windows 8.x Pro 64-bit. Or, you may get it to work in another hypervisor (e.g. VMware workstation), search the forum a bit for details.

Or you can test on an actual device, which needs to be developer unlocked or higher to be able to sideload apps.

Developer Phone Reg Not Recognizing Nokia Lumia 925

Hello - I went through the install of the WP8 SDK on my Windows 7 OS box that has Visual Studio 2012 update 4. When I installed the WP8 SDK I moved my clock back to 2013. The installation went smoth...no errors. I plugged my Nokia Lumia 925 (no screen lock, no sim card, set automatic time is off) into my USB port. The phone was recognized and the drivers were installed. I can copy files to the phone via windows explorer on Windows 7 OS. My phone is set up with my hotmail.com account. I didn't sign up for a dev account as I only need to load one xap to test. When I run the dev phone reg tool I cannot find my phone. I tired uninstalling the the Nokia and reinstalling the drivers. Same message on the reg tool. I moved to a different usb port and my PC recognized the phone and installed the latest drivers. Still no luck. I also renamed my device to a short description. IpOverUsb is running. Wifi is working

Any help is appreciated as I only have a couple days to figure this out.

I have looked at this thread...and still can't get it to work.

Your Microsoft account must be registered as a developer account in order to perform developer-unlock of the device.
[Windows Phone 8 General] shadowD1026:
So you are saying that before the tool can detect your phone you need a dev account? I thought that after the tool found the phone it would then ask you to sign in.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
Yeah, but as I said, Microsoft needs to see your account as a developer account. You have to apply as a developer or register with app studio. The latter variant is free, the formers isn't.

Hi. I would think that I wouldn't get the "unable to connect your phone" if that was the case. I thought you could use the registration tool without a current developer account if you wanted to sideload only 2 apps. The reason I say that is that if you want to associate your account (before you go through the reg tool) you have to pay. Thoughts..and thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

I registered my phone through windows phone app dev studio (which allows 1 sideloaded app)...so my phone should now be unlocked. Now..I went to the dev phone reg tool and the same thing is coming up "unable to connect to phone".

So my next question would be...if my phone is unlocked, but the dev unlock tool is NOT working, will I now be able to load a xap and run it OR since the dev phone reg tool is not seeing my phone (although I can see it in explorer) will I NOT be able to load and run a xap?
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
Developer account =/= developer unlocked phone. First, your account must be registered for development, then you must sign in with that account to unlock the phone separately. The first is a condition for the other, but doesn't unlock your phone straightaway.

Because you haven't unlocked your phone yet, you won't be able to sideload anything until you do so. Try restarting the phone and the computer, helps sometimes...
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
You do *not* need to have a developer account before dev-unlocking, and haven't for months. You'll be limited to two sideloaded apps at a time if you don't have a developer account associated with the ID you use to unlock the phone, though.
[Windows Phone 8 General] shadowD1026:
Thank you both. So back to my original question: I went through the install of the WP8 SDK on my Windows 7 OS box that has Visual Studio 2012 update 4. When I installed the WP8 SDK I moved my clock back to 2013. The installation went smoth...no errors. I plugged my Nokia Lumia 925 (no screen lock, no sim card, set automatic time is off) into my USB port. The phone was recognized and the drivers were installed.

I moved to a different usb port and my PC recognized the phone and installed the latest drivers. Still no luck. I also renamed my device to a short description. IpOverUsb is running. Wifi is working. I have registered my phone for dev-unlock on the MSFT Dev account site and have installed the cert they sent me when I verified my account. I guess what I'm not sure of is if the dev phone reg tool is not picking up my phone...does that mean that I will have trouble deploying and testing my xap file?

Any help is appreciated as I only have a couple days to figure this out.

I have looked at this thread...and still can't get it to work.

[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
Sorry, my bad...:good:
[Windows Phone 8 General] CamilaRamos:
I was having the exact same problem. Tried every single solution i found on the web, and even on windows phone official forums and nothing.

When you first connect your phone to the PC, aparently it installs the driver for you to access your files but fails to install the driver correctly to your phone to be recognized by the developer tools..

What you have to do is:

First you'll have to manually download the driver for windows phone:

- Go to catalog.update.microsoft.com and search for "windows phone winusb"

- On the list of results, select "Windows Phone - Other hardware - WinUsb Device"

- Click Add and then View Basket

- Click Download button and choose the folder you want to save the files

With the phone connected to the PC:

- Open the device manager, look for the device named WinUsbDevice (it should probably have that yellow flag indicating a problem with the device)

- Right-click it and uninstall driver

- Select "Delete the driver software for this device"

- Click the Action menu and select "Scan for hardware changes"

- Now right-click the "WinUsbDevice" device again, select Update Driver>Browse my computer for driver software.

- Select the driver you just downloaded, next>next>finish.

Now you should probably be able to get your phone properly recognized by the Developer Registration tool and the Application Deployment tool :good:

VS.2012 Issues Debug/Deploy

Hello -

I have everything installed correctly now and my phone is now recognized and dev unlocked. My issue now is there is something going on with VIsual Studio 2012.

Issue 1: Normally you would see next to the start icon for building the drop down for debug, release, or configuration manger followed by another dropdown where you can debug/release/deploy to the device or to the emulator. The device or emulator option is not showing up. I understand that the emulator will not work, but there is no way to debug/release/deploy to the device because that option is no showing up. Thoughts?

Issue 2: When I try build my "sample minibrowser" solution, it builds fine. But...when I try to run as debug or deploy it fails stating "Value cannot be null/Parameter name key". Also, when I go into my project properties and select the debug tab, I get the same error. I have seen others with the issue but haven't seen a solution. Thanks in advance for helping with these two issues.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Corstian:
Hi there,

Two questions:

- Does this work with any version of Visual Studio 2012? (Not just the express version, I assume yes but just to clarify)

- How is Blend doing? Is there just the same functionality as if it were running on Windows 8?

Thanks for clarifying!
[Windows Phone 8 General] shadowD1026:
Hi!

1. I am using VS 2012 premium...I haven't used express

2. I haven't used Blend yet.

[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
The installer requires setting your computer's clock back a year or so, it should work fine then if you've installed the prerequisites. I believe that it only handles up to WP8.0 though, if you want to use the new features in WP8.1 it might not work.

It works for me this way even 1 year later - September 2014:

Just Changed System Date to 2013 year, stay connected to the internet and installation goes through completed successfully without any problem :cool:

After installation restarted computer, return system date to 2014 and everything what i'm looking for works fine:

using my dev account registered and unlocked my nokia lumia 810, installed latest WP 8.1 developer preview OS instead of WP8.0 locked by TMO-US. Now I'm enjoing testing & using WP8.1 DP on my Lumia 810.

Before that i had sim-unlocked my phone through TMO customer service chat, my account allow me to do that.

Really long way to be upgraded in case of Nokia Lumia 810, but finally it works !!!

Many thanks and good luck everybody.

[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
If the install completed successfully and you restarted the computer afterward, you shouldn't get that error. If you are getting it anyway, there's probably an issue with your SDK installation. The only thing I can think of to suggest is to remove it and start again cleanly.

wp 8 and vs 2017

I needed windows phone sdk 8 and a search in google brought me to this forum, Thank You for the modified installer! I am running windows 7 x64 and visual studio community 2017. This is what I did, from the link one page one I downloaded the windows phone sdk and the modified installer. I extracted the modified installer to my desktop, created a new folder in my download folder and named it the same as the sdk.iso file you downloaded from here, extracted the iso files into the new folder using WinRAR. I cut the extracted modified installer from my desktop and pasted it into the new folder you created in your downloads and replaced the original installer. I then adjusted the date on my computer to September 1 2013 and disconnected from the internet. I ran the installer as an administrator and had to change the path reflected in the installer, from program files (86) visual studio 11 to my path program files (86) visual studio 14 and once that was set I clicked the install button and let the program do its thing and at the end I received the successful install message. Thank You again for this modified installer which still works for visual studio community 2017, I cannot say about the other two vs 2017 programs.

Hi guyz

I'm newbie for custom roms.Actually I have rooted my lg g2x and want to change my original rom with gingerbread 2.3.4 to any stable jelly bean rom .please suggest me which is the best stable rom with jelly bean and with improved performance.Also procedure to install that rom.

youe help is appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
There is no stable jelly bean for our device. Flash cm7 or any ics rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dman31:
stable jelly bean

Hello thanks for reply

Can you send me the link to well stable CM7 or ICS rom?also are they different(I'm really dumb in this)?And method to flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
I'm sorry man but your basically asking me to give you every piece of information necessary in order to flash a custom ROM. All of this information can be found in the stickies of the various G2X forums. It is apparent that you are not quite knowledgeable enough yet for me to suggest that you flash your phone. I suggest reading the stickies and learning everything there is to know about flashing this phone. All of the information is available to you here on this forum. I will however recommend CM7 as it is a stable and newb friendly ROM to start with. I would download the latest weekly at get.cm . As far as flashing methods are concerned you need to use Clockwork Mod Recovery. There are many threads about it and a bundle of information dedicated to CWM Recovery in the stickies of this forum. Please read them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
there's no such thing as stable. You want stable? Stick to 2.3.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
CM7 is 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3, depending) GB and is absolutely stable. No reason or advantage to staying stock with this device unless blue tooth phone audio is a necessity.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smitten8r:
Latest CM7 is 2.3.7... I'm using the March 2013 version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
well gee. Why would i want bluetooth phone audio? Maybe so i can use my bluetooth headset for calls and not just music?

if it's missing something or something is broken.. IT IS NOT STABLE.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Freakthis08:
CM7 is absolutely stable as Pain said, and he is right. If you think CM7 is not stable go look up stable in the dictionary. CM7 is not perfect, but very much stable. I also believe its only a baseband issue where CM7 has the Bluetooth issue (old baseband works fine, new one doesn't).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Yeah, Idk why I said that lol, I was thinking about the baseband differences from 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, not the android versions =x

and Eve, it all depends on what you recognize as stable. I don't use nor do I wish to use blue tooth functions for calling purposes. So for me not having that option does not subtract from the "stability" of CM7. I am still able to use bluetooth for media purposes which I rarely do anyway. CM7 offers plenty of customization and options for your phone that you cannot possibly have if it is stock. For a first time user coming from stock software, CM7 will make you feel like you have a brand new device!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyMagic:
Hello Everyone.

Wonder if anyone can help me as I think I am going mad!

I use my headset all day (listening to podcasts) and whenever i answer a call, I have to remain very still for fear i will hang up (which happens regularly).

I have had the same problem on many roms - Omega, Temasek, Cyanogenmod, Foxhound and many more, its driving me crazy.

I have also installed proximity service and an app which I cant remember the name of at the moment, but will update when i find out. Needless to say, nothing has worked, the screen always comes on when a call comes in.

Does anyone have any idea what i can do to sort this, i never need my screen on when my phone is in my pocket.

PS I have tasker, maybe i can use that to sort it?

Thanks for any input :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] outlawtorn6806:
I got my N7 2013 model less than a month ago and I've run into my first issue so far. I'm not sure if its a major problem or not. Here is what occurred. When my tablet was -plugged- in and fully charged this morning I was using it to check my email. I couldn't help but notice a subtle amount of static coming out of the tablet every time I pressed something on screen (for example opening an email or deleting something). I had not noticed this before because it is fairly subtle and my room was very quiet the first time in a while. It however stopped as soon as I unplugged it. The problem resumes when o plug it back in. Each press on the screen leads to a static buzzing from the tablet like radio interference.

I'd like to see of anyone can recreate this. Here is what I exactly did:

1) The tablet was fully charged and still plugged in.

2) Be in a very very quiet room. No fan noise.

3) Use the GMail app and open some emails. Anything that makes key press noise should do.

4) Listen closely after each key press.

5) Redo all this without it charging.

The only reason I worry is that I don't want this to be a faulty circuit board issue or battery issue.

Hello! Sorry for my bad English.

I've recently faced a nasty problem. After upgrading to 4.3 both on my I9505 and Nexus 4 a predictive search in dialer appeared. It's great, no doubt.

BUT! It doesn't work with cyrillic contacts! Only with those named in English.

In 4.2.2 it also worked with cyrillic letters though it was a custom feature.

I wonder, is there any way to fix it (I love Holo-themed dialer very much) or are there any dialers which look the same and provide T9 search in Russian?

I recently purchased an Ainol Novo 8, and decided to do a search and see what ROM's are out there for the device. Google came with the below thread at the top of the list. When I clicked on the link provided by the dev, apparently which goes to his website, containing his ROM for the device. My Untangle server blocked the website with a Malicious Content Warning. See the attached screenshot of the warning, below is the link to the thread and a link to Untangle in case you are not familiar with it. I have used Untangle for many years, and have never had a false positive, it is open source and a commercial application, they are very diligent in their work.

This is disconcerting, if this developer is attempting to install malicious code into browser's that visit his website, what is he putting in his rom's? I certainly hope it is a false positive, Administrators can certainly contact Untangle directly and get their opinion. I think for right now, I will stay away from this website and it's developers, until I am fully assured that no malicious intent is intended.
