I worked on Android project to get wifi info, such as: rssi, ssid, mac..
I want to do same that on windows phone 8, but unfortunately not allowed to access to its API in windows phone!
There is any alternative idea to get wifi info in windows 8? in other word: can I read wifi info without using this API?
This topic is very impotent for me and for other developers, so any help would be appreciated.
I don't see any way to get the WiFi SSID information on windows Phone from an app.
You can retrieve device networking information but not specific details for WiFi.

You can launch the WiFi settings from your app

There is no way to do this in Windows Phone 8.1. This is a new API available to apps, but it is being introduced in Windows 10.
I know it isn't the answer you want to hear, but here is a link to the API (says availability is 10 only) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/windows.devices.wifi.aspx

Is there a way, either in C# or C++ APIs for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Metro applications, to get the user's app purchase date or, in case the app has been downloaded for free, the date of the first download? I'm specifically talking about the application's purchase date, not IAPs.
Thank you in advance.
There's few options:
1) Check out Windows.ApplicationModel.Package -class. It's available for 8.1 Store apps and provides information like InstalledDate. Word of warning, some of the properties only work in desktop apps.
2) You should be able to get the app's receipt. Receipt contains PurchaseDate for the product.
3) Manual way: When the app launches for the first time, create a roaming setting / app data where you store the launch date.
Is there a way to get info about particular app such as number of downloads, some kind of statistics etc., not being its owner. I am wondering whether exists any API to get information from Windows Phone Market? Thank you in advance. Last concern : is it enable to use another ad on windows phone than microsoft advertising? Will such app be approved on market?
Unfortunately there is no such Api to Access these things.
I have developed an app for windows phone in windows phone 7.Everything is fine in windows phone 7.
But when i upgraded it for windows phone 8,I found that the listbox of images is not showing in a page.After debugging
I found that media library is returning null,thats why listbox of images not showing any images
After searching over internet I found that for accessing media library images we have to first open windows phone's native photo app(native pictures).So I did it ,windows phone 8 emulator.Now it is working,but every time I have to open this native photo app,then I have to open my app,then only its working..Actually I dont have windows phone device,I just installed windows phone 8 sdk and tested it..
So my question is,Is there any way to directly access the media library with out opening native photo app,so that user dont have to open his native app every time before opening my app
You don't have to worry, that problem won't affect Windows Phone 8 devices, it only concerns the emulator.
Here's how I access media library's album and pictures:

You could check on the source code to know how to achieve your goal.
While Microsoft appears to have a robust video capture API for Windows Phone 8, it appears that any videos captured must be stored in the application's local storage, which is not accessible from the File Explorer when the WinPhone 8 device is connected to a Windows 8 PC.
Also, the app cannot store the videos anywhere the user could easily copy them from the phone. It is limited to its own isolated file system. This stackOverflow posting explains how the Win8 phone is locked down:
Windows Phone 8: Media file access
So, I can capture and store a video, but how do I get it off the phone to somewhere a user can manipulate it?
If you want those captured video off your phone then you can email/share it using ShareMediaTask & then can get that video out off the phone.
May be its not worth your requirement but if the purpose is to get it out off phone then it will help.
I have searched for that but i am unable to find it please let me know the solution...
I've already search this information with microsoft MVP in "Windows Phone trainning meeting" (sorry for my english) and In Windows Phone 7.1 and + It's not possible.
You can use SmsComposeTask, but you know that...
You can also go through the API to send SMS, but it's not Native... exemple : clockworksms ...
Short answer: No
Long answer: There is no other API for sending SMS messages right now than SmsComposeTask in Windows Phone 7 or 8.
