I install visual studio 2013, but I can't run app on emulator with 1080p resolution.
Available only this emulators
<ScreenResolutions>
<ScreenResolution Name="ID_RESOLUTION_WVGA" />
<ScreenResolution Name="ID_RESOLUTION_HD720P" />
<ScreenResolution Name="ID_RESOLUTION_WXGA" />
</ScreenResolutions>
How I can test my app for device with 1080p resolution?
Emulator images for 1080p or GDR3 phones are not yet available, but they should be soon!
Anyway from your point of view the 1080p device has same scale factor as 720p devices, so if your app supports 720p devices, it should work just fine on 1080p devices as well.
In case you want to detect such devices or provide specific content, here's a nice article how to do it:
Resolution specific considerations
Or here similar article on MSDN:
Multi-resolution apps for Windows Phone 8
Not yet, the support will be out soon.
But since 1080p is using the same aspect ration as 720p, you can "fake it" and pretend that 720p is actually 1080p and test in that environment. Besides, you won't really notice the difference anyway.
It's available now, you can now run your WindowsPhone8 app in 1080p resolution emulator, Microsoft just released an update for it, read the Windows Phone Developer Blog

I use Chrome Debugger on my PC to debug my web application, and it has a new handy feature where I can set the debuger to a mobile device, in this case Iphone 7.
Supposedly this allows you to emulate a mobile device. However, despite doing this I am getting different results, that is, it is not emulating the iPhone 7 device accurately.
There is an SVG component completely missing in the mobile browser. Very odd.
I have never troubleshot my web app on a mobile device, but need a means to do this. I also need a means to report the debugger as not accurately emulating the mobile device.
I did some googling and found this SO Q/A, however it is about 10 years old.
Here is a screen shot of the emulator and the icon that is actually missing on my mobile device:
Those situations are tricky...you need to use a device emulator such as https://crossbrowsertesting.com/
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.
I've developed and submitted a WP 8 app. it's a cocos2Dx game.
I can test it on my device (WVGA) but the simulators (ex: WXGA) don't work on my PC.
I only checked "WVGA" in the WMAppManifest.xml as I can't test the other resolutions
so in the store, it is written : "App requires WVGA (480x800)"
question : is the app available and does it work (with a kind of auto scale) on devices with other resolutions ? (ex: WXGA)
It depends on what you selected in WMAppManifest.xml. At the bottom of the application settings you will find supported resolutions. Tick all three and your app will automatically work on all supported resolutions.
WVGA and WXGA share the same aspect ratio of 15:9, but 720p is slightly taller and uses aspect ration of 16:9.

i just bought the new nexus 5 which screen is on full hd.
My surprise was not so good when I opened chrome and I saw that the browser was not showing websites in full hd but in a ridiculous 1024 resolution. Searching on the parameters and on the web I didn't find a way to change the resolution to 1080.
Can't you tell me a way to get a full hd phone browser ?
Thank you !!!
Not sure what you are referencing. The browser does not "downsample" the content. I have a Nexus 5 myself and have no issues with the Chrome browser
I am developing a RWD web app supporting from mobile to desktop. I need to test the web app in different mobiles ranging from iPhone, android phone and BB phone and Windows phone, iPad and android tablets and desktops.
Currently i am doing testing using the chrome web browser and i squeeze the browser window to see the behavior in different width screen.
Is there any better approach available to do the testing in different versions of phones? and is there any tool available to test the loading time in mobiles, i know profiling tools like fiddler is available for desktop, is any profiling tool available for mobile also?
Please help me in this. thanks in advance for any help.
