How can i get a list of all regions listed in windows phone 8. I couldn't find and API like RegionInfo.GetAllRegions. Neither there is an API to get all culture info. Is this possible via API. Kindly help.
I don't think you'll be able to grab all the regions from the settings as far as i know. Where as you could only get the current region of your device.
System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.EnglishName

Is there a way to pass UTM information trough Google Analytics, similar to websites, iOS or Android? I'm using the Google Analytics SDK from CodePlex in a Windows Phone app, and I want to pass information like utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign?
So far all I've found is a way to set the "Campaign" property to the tracker. Is UTM available for windows phone?
GoogleAnalytics.EasyTracker.GetTracker().Campaign = "myCampaign";
GoogleAnalytics.EasyTracker.GetTracker().SendView("FirstPage");
The only solution was to add them manually in GoogleAnalyticsSDK from CodePlex. Now, you have the possibility to send parameters like CampaignName, CampaignSource, CampaignMedium, CampaignID in any Windows Phone app.
When you go to Windows Phone store -> apps -> Collections you can see list of different collections which include region specific collection, "The Ukraine Collection" in my case. What would I do as a developer to see my app in this collection? Should I limit the app to only Ukrainian market?
You just need to do a great app. The country collection is the best apps from the specific country.
Is it possible to allow user to change the name of the streets in embedded map? Does any API provide such feature? For example, I want to allow users to make their 'alternative map' and get link to it.
With OpenStreetMap this is possible of course but requires some work and suitable hardware. You have to server your own tiles and provide access to the underlying database with the help of one of the many different editors or via a custom solution. If you don't want to serve the whole world you can also fill your database with one of the available extracts.
We have a signup page where the user enters his business phone number. We want to find his business information from the phone number for verification. How can this be done with Google places/maps api? Is there any better alternative? I am kind of lost.
After looking through the google api to double-check, their response doesn't return a phone number for the company either. https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/
It also may depend on the type of business you're looking for but Yelp does allow phone number searches in their API:
https://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/v2/phone_search
Looks like you can get what you want using the Place details call of the web-service api. Amongst the fields returned are the formatted_phone_number and international_phone_number.
I want to locate a location on the google map using phone number. Is it possible? If yes, what is the parameter which I need to append in the request url. As of now, I am appending 'address' and my URL is
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=THE+FRENCH+LAUNDRY&sensor=false
As long as I know, this is not possible with Google Maps (but maybe someone else knows more...). In some country, like Italy (where I live), it could even be against the law (depending on a few legal parameters).
Despite this, I saw some user here in SO signalling that some applications developed and managed by Google and installed on Android devices seem to be able to do so (in the countries where this is legal, of course). Most likely, these apps use a Google online database that is not accessible to the common user/developer.
Moreover, there are other companies that offer location services that can locate a user both if he/she uses a cellular phone and if he/she uses a land line one (in the countries where this is legal).
