I have VS2012 windows phone emulator that works just fine. I can develop and debug.
The question is how to upload test content to the emulator? I need a few songs in the emulator media library to debug my application.
You can upload files to your emulator with windows phone power tools.Connect emulator and put file where you want.
Check this link:
Wp Power Tools
unfortunately you cannot do that in the emulator... you need an actual phone...
Can't you just sign into SkyDrive and grab from there?
Also this 7.0 approach to deploying files to the emulator might still work: http://justinangel.net/WindowsPhone7EmulatorAutomation
You may be able to get with your local developer evangelist to get a test device. You can use this app to find out who that is - http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=30db0bac-e968-4e50-8205-30adf19fb5b9.

Okay, okay - this should be simple, but I just can't figure it out, and Google isn't helping. I just bought a Lumia 635 for developing apps for the Windows store, and I'm using Blend to make my apps in HTML and JS. I've been getting along just fine so far, but it seems that I'm unable to select my WP as a target device.
I've already "unlocked" my windows phone device so that I can use it to develop. I don't believe it's to do with drivers since I would assume Win8 has the drivers inbuild. I'm wondering, is this even possible from within blend? There is a separate program named "Windows Phone App Deployment". Do I have to use this? There seems to be very little concise documentation on this, so I'm assuming it's not possible.
For universal apps, the available deploy targets are based on which project you choose as your startup project. By default the Windows App is the startup project, so it gives you deploy options like Local Machine and Simulator (Windows Tab). Change your startup project to Windows Phone App and you'll see the device option as well as different phone emulators.
From a Windows mobile app (VB.Net), I want to be able to copy a file from the mobile device to a desktop (during a direct connection to the desktop). Is there a quick and simple way to do this?
You need to use RAPI. There's a managed wrapper for version 1 here and a managed wrapper for version 2 here.
Is it possible to upload an image created by the phone using Sencha Touch but without any dependency on PhoneGap? Basically my app will be accessible via the web, and not installed natively on the device. I want to be able to select an image from the phone storage and then be able to upload it to the service. I effectively want the same functionality as you would get with the file upload control on a normal desktop browser.
Is this possible, and if so how?
There is a current solution in its infancy, but it works. I tested it on my Nexus 7 using Chrome. Here is the list of compatibility:
Android (4.0 up) browser support as regular
Google Chrome for desktop and mobile
iOS Safari browser support from version 6.0 (not tested on mobile)

Desktop webbrowser and mobile browser are different in lot many cases. To access file upload option you need to access the OS API which is not possible using javascript only. Phonegap provides us option to connect js with device API. If you can find a way to do this, without using Phonegap, then may be you can fix, or else its not possible.

I'd suggest the Player Framework, it works well from my usages with remote videos.
I did a small web application for using PHP, HTML, and JavaScript.
I want to test my application in BlackBerry and iPhone, but I don't have either of them.
Is there any site providing facilities, something like a live BlackBerry tester site?
For Blackberry, you can download a simulator from RIM. You want to download the smartphone simulator and also the MDS simulator, which enables the smartphone simulator to connect to websites.
You could try downloading the Firefox add-on, User Agent Switcher, and have it act like a Blackberry. Granted though, it's not a true test. But if you are looking to see how your app reacts to this, it is a good first test.
You also have access to an iPhone simulator as a registered Apple developer. But this is for the Mac OS X platform, not Windows.
