Windows phone 8 emulator not showing maps - windows-phone-8

I am trying to create a windows phone 8 application but the emulator does not show me the map. all I get is this.
as you can see no land mass is show and no roads are shown. I have panned around and come across nothing and the emulator location is set to an area where land should show.
If I run it on my device it works fine and the map loads.
Could this be due to a port blocking issue or something silly like that.
Cheers
Mark

The approved answer might not be 100% correct. Check out the following blog post, and you will notice, that your emulator probably doesn't have an access to the internet.
http://michalstawarz.pl/2013/01/26/windows-phone-8-emulator-maps-display/

Windows Phone emulator supports Bing Map for sure.
It seems the Problem may be due to
Network Connectivity Issues with Host PC
Proxy Issues
Other Issues
Workaround for the above Issues.
If you see blank blue map screen as in http://michalstawarz.pl/2013/01/26/windows-phone-8-emulator-maps-display/ as Michael referred.
Then its good to go. Problem is Internet connectivity / proxy not configured.
If its is Network Connectivity, then troubleshoot your system network adapter. Problem may be due to limited network connectivity / PC not connected to internet.
If it is proxy then,
Get IP Address of "Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator
Internal Switch" using IPCONFIG in CMD prompt
Then Enter it under Exception List in IE's LAN Settings >> Advanced >> Exception
Other Issues may be due to Not Configured / improper IP configuration when adapter's IP setting changed manually.
If it is the case -- then Remove all virtual adapters using Virtual Switch Manager Menu in Hyper-V Manager and RUN Emulator with ADMIN Privileges.

Maps are not supported on the Windows Phone 8 emulator.
Maps are now supported, and the original question is no longer valid.

If the answers from Micheal and Prakash doesn't solve your problem.Then try this-
Open regedit in the C:\Windows folder.
In Registry Editor open
for 64 bit Windows-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN
\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and then create XDETools.exe with hex value 2328.
for 64 bit Windows-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN
\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and then create XDETools.exe with hex value 2328.

Remote Debugging won't connect

I sort of make shift followed this guide on how to setup remote debugging. Since I am using Adobe Animate to compile my app I assume it has done the majority of the build steps already as I get a similar screen described.
I don't understand though. Here I have port forwarding up on my router so that it goes to my PC. I have TCP port 7935 up and open. Windows firewall on or off doesn't seem to make difference. Windows firewall even prompted me to allow or deny fdb after I ran it. I can't get my phone to connect via remote debugging. I want to be able to send this to my client who is having issue with the app so I can see what's going on under the hood instead of relying on a giant sum of try/catch statements and screenshots. Any help?
I tried a dummy domain and it seems to know that it can't connect to it. When I try mine or my IPv4 it doesn't let me connect. It just freezes up the app.
I don't know whether it works or not in Animate CC, but it works via Flash Builder. I'm using Android real device and I have Android SDK tools installed on my PC
Yes, I have followed that tuts from official Adobe docs, but that doesn't work
First: Simply connect your device to your PC
Actually , you can debug your app remotely as long as your device has been connected with your PC. This step, doesn't necessarily requires FDB.
In my case , all I need was things like
adb connect 192.168.xx.xx:port
this will connect your Android device with your PC on your default network .
Second, set debug setting over network
You've done it in Animate CC, with addition you might want to check "install application on the connected device'
Third, just debug as usual
You can get all those debugging stuff including traces

Error communicating with the Windows Phone Dev Center. (ErrorCode:0x64)

I am trying to resolve the following error:
Error communicating with the Windows Phone Dev Center. Set the correct date and time on the phone, check your Internet connection, and try again. (ErrorCode:0x64).
I've checked our developer account and can see there are no devices unlocked so we haven't hit our limit. (We did have 3 devices previously unlocked but they have since been deactivated and removed from the account).
The date/time are correct and the device is connected to a valid Wi-Fi with Internet access.
Here is what I have done:
I have rebooted the PC (Windows 10)
I have rebooted the phone (Windows 8.1)
On the phone I have switched the date/time settings to manual and then back to automatic
I've factory restored the device to original settings
I've checked local host files for anything related to windows/Microsoft/development
I've restarted the IpOverUsbSvc service many times
There was a server side problem with the Dev Center that blocked device unlocking. It should be fixed now, so try again, though it may take some time to propagate.
In general you should contact Microsoft Dev Center Support with problems like this as it's not something anybody outside of Microsoft can help with.
I just got this.
Nothing worked until I finally connected to a Internet capable wireless network.
Hope this helps someone else.

How to use Android mobile as Remote control for wifi enabled raspberry pi car , without using any access point/wifi router

i want to connect my android mobile with raspberry pi so that i can send some data from pi to mobile through UDP sockets and vice versa. This is because i want to use android screen as remote control , some rPI data display and live video view of pi camera output from android web browser. i am interested to use wifi connection but without using any access point/wireless router in between i.e i want to create a peer to peer wifi adhoc network. in home with access network this will work , but its not possible to have wireless network or carry wireless router where ever the pi go.
for prototyping purpose i tried creating Adhoc wifi network in windows vista but my mobile didnt detect the wifi possibly because the frequency of the wifi network cant be recognised by android. i tried wifi direct feature of my galaxy Note2 (android jelly bean) but i seems to work with only samsung specific phones. it didnt work with nexus 4 neither with windows vista.
so i am quite sure that none of the above technique will work with raspbian OS.
any idea how to achieve my requirements. if connecting raspberry pi with android by USB to microUSB cable will solve the purpose , please let me know how.
Thanks
agoswami
as of now i have used USB/Wifi tethering method which has worked for me.i first tried with USB tethering , it was assigning some IP to Rpi. i changed the /etc/network/interfaces file so that this IP remain static. i used android Ip address as gateway and was able to ping them and even i was able to SSH from connectBot app.
i think the same approah will work for wifi also. i will give it a try later.
this discussion can be closed now :) my issue was resolved.

Emulator is turning off my ethernet connection

I am learning windows phone programming, when I run emulator it turns off ethernet connection on my laptop, but wifi still works.
How to fix it?
May be it is Hyper-V trouble?
Ethernet controller: RealTek PCIe GBE
Easiest way is just removing the Emulator customization of the network connections and then allowing it to restore them!
On the host computer, open the Hyper-V Manager
Click Action -> Virtual Switch Manager
Remove the 3 Virtual Switches that show up on the list
After this step the internet connection show have been restored; the next time you open the Emulator it will then allow you to re-add those virtual switches back.
Attention: Please be aware that you may have more entries if Hyper-V is actually used by another app than the Windows Phone Emulator!

Windows Phone 8 Emulator Deployment Issue with Internet

I am facing an issue with windows 8 phone emulator.
Windows Phone emulator wasnt able to connect to Windows Phone
operating system. Phone didnt respond to connect request
This is the error that I get. When the emulator starts with internet but my application doesnot deploy. The ip that gets assigned is 192.168.137.1. Previously it worked fine,
but then suddenly it started giving this issue.
Below is the list of troubleshooting that I have performed:
169.254.xxx.xxx address set to internal emulator via dhcp, Application deployed successfully with NO internet connection
Have tried MAC address spoofing but nothing works when I use these settings.
Have changed External Virtual Switch in Sharing mode this starts the internet with ip 192.168.137.1 but application doesnot deploy
In debugger errors shown are:
Invalid pointer error
App deployment failed
Have tried Network bridging but still it doesnt work.
Created all settings manually including the internal switch and external swithch. But same issue faced when it gets 192.168.137.1 ip then internet works but application doesnt deploy.
And when it gets 169.254.xxx.xxx ip series application deploys but no internet connection.
No firewall are turned on or no antivirus is blocking any connections.
Wireless router used for network connectivity, still not successfully
Have also tried clean installation of everything but still no go.
Need help with this issue as I have been trying to get it resolved since a week.
This issue is not faced if installation is done on the same pc through a virtual machine.
What I did was :
Have allotted 4gb ram, 60gb hdd & 4 cores to the VM.
1)I installed a virtual machine with default settings.
2)Then I stopped your virtual machine (shut Windows 8 down, DO NOT suspend it).
3)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8 machine then click "Show in Finder".
4)Right click the file then click "Show package contents", then find and open with a text editor a file with the extension .vmx
5)Go till the end of the file and add this two lines (first check whether they were previously added):
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
6)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8, click "Preferences" then "Advanced". Choose "Intel VT-X with EPT" as "Preferred virtualization engine".
And then when I started the windows in the virtual machine it seems to be working fine without any additional setting change. However it is still not running on a physical machine
I recommend if someone is facing a similar issue then to use a Virtual Machine till this kind of issue is resolved.
Struggling with the same problem for 3 days I finally solved my issue by disabling windows firewall for "Guest or public network". I have yet to figure out what application/service to allow through so I can re-enable it.
