Automatic phone number dialing with windows 8 phone - windows-phone-8

I would like to know if it is possible to automatically dial a phone number (911) within an app in Windows Phone 8. Using href I can bring up the dialer with the number but the user still has to manually press dial (inconvenient when in need for immediate assistance).
Call me at +1 (555) 555-5555
Thanks!

No, actions such as making a phone call or sending a text (via the phone's SIM card and not a web service) requires user interaction with the current SDK. This seems to be a security design as it prevents malicious apps from secretly sending texts or dialling premium rate numbers without the user's knowledge.

Windows phone 8.1, toast notification, globalization and text parameters

I want to send a toast notification (from a server to a windows phone), the notification have to be something like "Katie bought you 3 items", but it have to run in different languages, so I can't writte that directly on the server.
The text comes from the server and you can't catch a notification if the app is not running.
There is a way to do globalization writting "ms-resource:label" but it is a fixed text, or at least in the website of Microsoft I can't see anyway to write something more, so with that the max I can get is something like "Someone bought you N items", without Katie and the number 3.
Can I put parameters in a resource? Something like ms-resource:label#Katie#3
where label is %1 bought you %2 items.
Or maybe there is another way.. How can I send this kind of messages in a toast notification?
Thank you.
After getting back the channel URI from WNS, when you are sending it to your server (from device), you can also pass device region and language information along with it. While sending notifications to WNS (from server), check these values against every channel URI to create customized text for that respective user.

Windows phone 8 dialor

I am pretty new to Windows phone development. I want to create an application that will be displayed as an option to the user, when the user dial a number or select 'call' option from a saved contact, for routing the call through that application. The application first dial some number to connect to a specific service provider and then dial the number on the selected contact or the number that the user dials to make the call. I had an experiment with the PhoneCallTask but not succeeded. Any help will be appreciated.
First, there is no way to put your app's shortcut in Phone app. I assume what you are looking for is a call interceptor app. Currently, the builds till WP8.1 don't support it. There are possibilities of such API in the final Windows 10 build though.
Please use a search engine to look for API limitations first and then ask a question in SO.

Submit app on Windows Phone Store Brazil

I try to submit an app on All Windows phone Stores but i don't know why the app is unavailable on the brazilian store, I have the message "Esse aplicativo não está disponível em seu mercado." (This application is not available in your market.) and there is no way to download the app.
I have found some tutorials explaining that a certification is needed to post an app on the brazilian store. So, I have joined a PEGI certification with the app but there is no change, the app is always unavailable.
So, is there a delay for the validation or have I missed something ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have finaly found a solution to my problem.
When we want send an app, in the windows phone dev center, we have three choice for the Marcket Distribution in the description of the app :
-"Distribute to all available marckets at the base price tier",
-"Distribute to all marckets except China"
-"Continue distributing to current marckets"
When I have published my app for the first time, I have selected "Distribute to all available marcket at the base price tier" but I didn't upload the brazilian's certificate because app was juste available on the French store.
And, when I have wanted publish the app on the brazilian store, I have just selected "Continue distributing to current markets".
So I think that when I have published app for the first time, an list of the available country have been generated without brazil because there wasn't the certificate and when I have added the brazilian certificate and select "Continue distributing to current markets", the list must have not been updated.
So, to resolve my probleme, I just re-select "Distribute to all available marcket at the base price tier", in the Windows Phone Dev Center, with the brazilian certificate and the list must have been re-genenated.

Call Recording in Windows Phone 8

Can you route me to API's capable of intercepting incoming and outgoing phone calls in Windows Phone 8 and record the call conversation ?
Once Recording is in progress, is there a way to simultaneously packetize these data and send it over to a remote server ?
Finally can I set this call recording application to be auto invoked whenever there is an incoming & outgoing Call ?
Since SIP is not exposed in Windows Phone 8 do we have an alternate approach to serve the purpose (say a 3rd party Library) ?
Can you route me to API's capable of intercepting incoming and outgoing phone calls in Windows Phone 8 and record the call conversation ?
No, there is no way to intercept anything on Windows Phone. (And this makes the rest of your questions invalid).
There is a way to interact which can identify the incoming call,
Example : New Version of TrueCaller application, it will integrate its app with Network+ app of system and then it will possible but its special api that Microsoft (not Nokia) provided to them I try to contact them since last 2 months i will I have good news/ bad news in very short period of time.
Thanks.
