PTCL vs. Worldcall EVDO in Peshawar

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Just so that you know, PTCL EVDO does operate on a different frequency in Peshawar and also its signal strength is not very good in Hyatabad area at all. Just in case you are visiting Peshawar I would recommend you to visit WorldCall center for USB device. Only 256 kbps package is available but I found it amazingly good. Give it a try.

Note: Operating frequency and respect signal strength varies from region to region. I gave it a try in phase 5 Hyatabad. However make sure you have consulted someone before. Likely PTCL EVDO to perform better in some other region.

 

Marketplace Test Kit: How To?

With Windows Phone 7.1 SDK you are equipped with a Marketplace Test Kit which allows you to test applications (XAP packages) for passing Marketplace certification requirements (iconography, XAP file size, etc), memory consumption, leakage and proper exception handling in an automated and monitored way. It also provides a list of manual tests which may further help mature you applications. Here’s how,

Step 1: Open Marketplace Test Kit Console

Step_1_-_open_marketplace_test_kit

Note:  If at the bottom you see a message that updated test cases are available please do so please do perform an update since Marketplace requirement will keep changing.

Step 2: Confirm Application package path points to Release version

Note: As it would be obvious since you are testing a XAP file in Release mode you can also test a .xap file even if the source is not available. Just make sure that XAP package name meets the same name given to current open visual studio project (or its corresponding XAP package).

And the four tabs on the left are all that you need to perform these tasks. If not, see this great video from Microsoft User Community,
