Google's new reCaptcha doesn't work on Windows Phone - windows-phone

The recaptcha box isn't displaying on WP8 with official IE mobile browser.
Just go with the device (I tried with wp8) to the official demo page:
http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo
and you will see that the recaptcha box isn't displaying.

Problem solved: I'm using a Windows Phone without a SIM card to develop with, but when I first configured the phone 1 year ago, I set to automatically synchronize date and time. (like everyone does)
However, without a SIM card and over WiFi, the phone doesn't sync the date and time, and therefore the https certificate from google appeared as expired and the iframe didn't load.
Adjusting the date and the time manually solved the problem.

It should be fixed for now. But if the issue still persists for your service, try to fall back to alternative challenge, as described here, when the user agent string contains IEMobile word.

Unable to receive account creation/mobile verification texts to Irish numbers

Recently I've tried creating a Kaizala account. I used an Irish mobile number. The mobile number began with +35386XXXXXXX. Another mobile I tried was the same but +35383X... Requesting a call to verify the number also does not work. Neither method sends any form of communication to the phone.
I tested a French mobile number to see if it would work and it did & I was able to setup an account.
I tested again after a week from first noticing this issue, and it remained for the Irish mobiles.
Anyone else experiencing this in other countries or know why it's happening?

Where did jsfiddle's run on mobile go?

There used to be a little icon I'd press on my jsfiddle and then it'd give me a url where I could point my phone's browser to and see my fiddle running. But they see to have taken it out (?) or maybe I can't find it.
If so, maybe there's another site that you guys know, codepen, jsbin, that does this?
I miss this feature as well and can't find it.
codepen.io allows this, but requires you to sign up for an account (free) and then does so using text messages to send the link to your mobile phone and restricts it to 10 a month.
Not the greatest solution, but it works for intermittent use.

Windows phone store app can't be found

I just developed my first app for windows phone and put it into the windows phone app store. Everything worked fine, I got the message the app was accepted, so I started looking for it in the app store. Many searches later I still couldn't find it.
The other strange part was, that I can't even find it with the direct link which I get under "Link zum Store" (German, stands for: link to store) When I click the link, I 404 page.
Any reason why this is the case, I made the app available in all countries, regions and windows phones 8.1 . The link to the app is: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=f383f584-a864-4f07-a4bc-5c709f750865
Depending on when the app got published, it might take some time for it to propagate and become available through direct links or search.
For example, I can already see your app through direct link, I can also see it in Windows Phone Store through that link and install it.
it takes a couple of days... MS makes it seem like it will be instantaneous...
My first app took 3 days to "show up"... hurry up and wait :-)

Error during rate app

In my app
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/1rm/d8639e5b-93ae-4d34-a575-d84e205c134d
I get an error message when users press submit after rating.
Get error c101a006.
Not sure why this happens, open store but not able to submit review
As far as I can see no rating can be submitted due to error, at least not on Windows 8 machines running more than one account. How can I verify rating works now on machines running one account?
It is ZEST_E_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, an error that tells you that the Store server suffered a heart-attack when trying to process the submission. The rating page itself is displayed by the Store app on your machine. I had no trouble myself submitting a rating for your app.
So this has nothing to do with your app itself. Web server errors happen, they can take a few days to get resolved. At least from my test it is clear that the server can no longer be the problem. If you still have trouble then there's something wrong with your Microsoft account. Login on this web page and double-check that your birthdate and home country have been entered.
Without any code it's difficult to say.
Anyway searching googling the error code I went to Microsoft support site That says it's a server error, for example when account data are not completed. It's hard to do more with only these informations.
My friend was getting the same error since he was from Siberia and this is how Microsoft responded to him. Its mainly caused when one tries to rate an app while the app marketplace aint supported in that region.
Go to settings > region and language > change the phones region to a supported country > restart the phone (change to UK preferably)
Go to http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing-and-subscriptions/account-management/change-region and click on Account migration
Sign in with your xbox account (in some cases they will send you verification code on email address which you added before)
Finish account migration to UK (in my case). Please keep in mind that they allow you to do this only ONCE per 3 months
Problem solved. Try to download free apps or games and everything will work.
Solution for application which requires payments:
1. Go to settings > region and language > change the phones region to a supported country > restart the phone
2. Go on store. Find some game or application for payment.
3. Add payment option which you wish
Enjoy and cheers :)
Note 1: I suggest you to complete account migration on Xbox from other device (PC/Mac)
Note 2: Xbox region restriction was cause of this error

From my service how do I listen for when a user clicks on a desktop icon or app from within the application menu?

This question is no longer active - I have been officially notified by the company that we're dropping Android and going with a system that is specifically designed for business use.
In our two sister companies we installed almost 500 android phones assuming they'd have security capabilities similar to Linux that would allow us to provide business phones to our employees but limit their access to apps. Unfortunately we've since found out that we were hugely mistaken. Android has decided that whoever has possession of the phone should have full access to everything. Unfortunately for us this has been a business nightmare, with huge data overages, employees downloading and installing anything and everything they can get their hands on from Play Store, the apps we need to run constantly being stopped by the task manager because too many apps are running at the same time with our employees arguing that the apps are buggy or the phone is broken. Due to our type of operation, the phones are passed from one employee to another often for weeks at a time before a supervisor or technician has access to them.
We absolutely need to either secure the phones or get rid of them. So...
From within a service, how do I capture when an employee clicks on an unauthorized app either from the desktop or from the applications menu? I've spent the last 2 days searching Google for an answer, but have turned up nothing. I know it can be done, because I have a couple of apps on my personal phone that do so.
We're using Android 2.2
Why not uninstall Google play store from the phones? And any other apps which are not needed?
It might be easiest too just install a parental control app. Here's an example, though this particular one may not meet all your needs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsplace
Have a look at the 3CX Mobile Device Manager. The sign up process is free and easy. Then you just need to download the app to each phone from GooglePlay and get it set up. I would be interested in knowing if you proceed with it and if it does everything you need it to.
