    Can i update DateTime as long as my app is running?

    BackgroundAgent is not guaranteed to run your task at all. Usually it runs the app (the task resp.) every 30 mins but it depends on battery status, other tasks running etc. For your case I would use Timer as suggested above, but remember typically the phone is automatically switched off after...

    how can i install .xap without SD card?

    It's not enough to copy the XAP, it must be deployed using Windows Phone Application Deployment tool (or from Store of course), which is a part of Windows Phone SDK. You must register your phone as a Developer one to do that. See details here: How to deploy and run an app for Windows Phone 8

    Turning Wifi on automatically near favorite place without a data connection?

    In the Settings you may select known wifi networks and enable the option connect to these known wifi networks. I am using such configuration and it works. I think it should work the same even without data plan.

    Video will not upload to skydrive/onedrive even if skydrive has the space.
