I have a problem with text scale in my Windows Phone 8.1 app. When I run app on device my labels is bigger than should be and not fits to screen (cutting ends). I had no such problems in the past with Windows Phone 8.0 apps. Anyone can help me?
Although late reply, you can use IsTextScaleFactorEnabled="False" property to override effect of ease of access setting.

My application supports both Portrait and Landscape orientations and automatically adapts UI to screen size. However I want to provide an option to lock the screen at current orientation.
If I just stop processing SizeChanged event, it doesn't help, since system still rotates the UI page, so it appears squeezed and truncated.
According to MSDN there is a way to set up supported orientations programmatically in Xna and Silverlight or Windows API (which is disallowed to use by Windows Store App). Is there a way to do that for an Universal app (Windows 8.1 or Windows 10)?
You can control this by setting the DisplayInformation.AutoRotationPreferences.
e.g.
DisplayInformation.AutoRotationPreferences = DisplayOrientations.Landscape;
set it to .None if you want to support both.
I'm using Google maps in my Phonegap project for WP8.1 and Android.
On Android everything works fine but on WP, I have problem with imaging.
When I move with map, the map is broken and confusing - an example is in
the images below.
I use Microsoft 535 device(if this is relevant for the solution).
Difficult to say without code.
But maybe it has something to do with the layout.
The Map should be inside of a layout that set it's width and height according to the phone size. If the layout container is too small, the map and all the other UI might seem distorted.
Internet Explorer doesn't support the device-height in the viewport meta tag.(1)

I am working on a project in which it is required to add capabilities to a website by which a user can pin the site to the start screen of Windows 8.1.
This can be done by adding some "meta" tags in the head section of the HTML page.
I just have one question whether large tiles are supported on Windows 8.1 Tablet or not.
It is stated here that large tiles are not supported on Windows Phone. Does this mean that large tiles are supported on Windows 8.1 Tablet or not?
Yes you can have live tiles for your website and they will work on windows phone. Scott Hanselman wrote a nice blogpost on how this can be achieved.
Update:
Yes large tiles are supported on Windows 8.1 i.e. a tablet. You can see it when you pin hanselmans or my blog to the start menu.

In my windows phone app, I have a textbox which has to be displayed when certain conditions are met. If not, it should behave like Visibility.Gone in Android.
How should I do that in a windows phone app?
The corresponding visibility on the WinPhone platform is Visiblity.Collapsed
Visiblity.Collapsed in Windows is same as Visibility.Gone in Android. In windows Elements that have a Visibility value of Collapsed do not occupy any layout space and there is nothing which is equivalent to Visibility.InVisible of Android
