So what's the recommended path for 2D game development for WP8? Microsoft is scheduled to drop support for XNA next year I believe. Then there's MonoGame which is expensive (Xamarin) unless you know you're going to make money rather than starting out. 32K of IL code restriction seems like a...

I can't update because my "Other storage" is taking up too many GBs. So the update won't fit on available storage.

Well, for the request for App suggestions... 3rd party apps can't control brightness.

I don't think this functionality is available to 3rd party devs. Maybe protest at Nokia or Microsoft HQ to add this feature.

This isn't possible unless you hunt down Joe Belfiore, throw him out of his yacht, and hit him over the head with NativeWifi until it's in there. The functionality isn't available in the Windows Phone API. If it were, the app would already be in Store. Microsoft doesn't want Apps that...

That appears to be purely hypothetical. As the battery drains right before my eyes. And I trust my eyeballs more than those words. Looking for an LG L9 -__- Other people's eyeballs see the same thing: http://wmpoweruser.com/the-wp8-stuck-process-battery-drain-issue-causes-wide-spread-complaints/

Background tasks are draining the battery. Stops draining after I reboot the phone.

So, there's the 'planned' VLC development for WP8. Is this type of app even possible on WP considering how locked down the OS is?

Say you add a .Zip to the Documents folder via USB/PC. Now it's on Phone Storage. Now start SkyDrive app. Is it possible to access that ZIP file in any way and is there a way to find and upload that ZIP file to SkyDrive?

Any way that's public to request apps is some type of feed format RSS, XML, JSON, etc. Since I can't connect to Microsoft's database directly....

Video and Music players should have a slider to RW/FF Two years and it's still not there. This phone is going back to HSN.. Microsoft doesn't care about Windows Phone.. I hope Nokia is working on Android. Nokia could probably leap over HTC, etc.. and be right there 2nd behind Samsung. 25% of...

Is there a free video player with seeking technology. This feature seems to be some really advanced stuff. What I mean it, You know how there's a timeline on video player showing the progress? I want to be able to select a pivot point on the timeline and swipe left to right to change my...

Is there a way to query for a term and get a feed of results with ratings/descriptions/etc for each app?

It could be a lot less than a billion if they ditch Microsoft right now.

Not even a simple, view Free apps only? Well I don't really consider the Relevance algorithm to be working then.. I see 2 stars apps mixed together with 4 stars apps on the first screen right after a search (at the top of search results). Err nevermind... title and description.... I guess...
