Is there any way I can do it without registering?The account is not registering me as a student and I cannot own a company just for this.
Juts follow this tutorial. All you have to do is sign in with your Microsoft account and your phone will be "dev unlocked". No windows phone developer account needed.

I have few apps in Windows Store both for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8.
We have recently released apps for Windows Phone 8 phone.When i log in to my developer console, i had user reviews already for Windows Phone 7 device, now how can i sort the user reviews for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.
And also in my Windows Phone 7 or Windows Phone 7 phone for my app the reviews are not showing, but in the developer console the reviews are being shown.
Why so ?
I don't think the first thing you asked is possible, i think it is only possible to tell the device they are using and country they are in using the code that appears underneath their name next to the review.
As for the second question one solution may be that the person may have reviewed your app in, for example, China. Yet, if you are looking at the reviews in the US store, only reviews made in the US will appear. This could be why some app reviews don't appear except for in your developer console.
I have a free windows phone app and I want to generate revenue from advertising. I choose google admob to do this task, but when I add my app to admob system, there is no choice for windows phone app. There is only choice for android and iOS. I know that the google admob has the sdk for windows phone 8 but how can I register my app to get Ad ID?
You can use the "unit ID" in your application as a Ad ID.
// "MY_AD_UNIT_ID" with your interstitial Ad unit id.
private InterstitialAd objInterstitialAd;
objInterstitialAd= new objInterstitialAd("MY_AD_UNIT_ID");
Here is the useful links for the same:
Register your app
Create an ad unit
Hope it helps
Admob doesnot support ad units for Windows phone in some countries. Thats why, it is not showing that option.
PS: not in India as well.
is it possible to create a custom account (similar to Microsoft Account,Facebook, Twitter, ...) in Windows Phone so that a user can setup an account of my Custom Type and then can sync data and so on.
It's something similar to using a SyncAdapter in Android.
can I achieve this in Windows Phone ? what are the APIs to use ?
Thanks
No, there is no way to setup your own account type.
But in Windows Phone 8 your application can add its own contacts to People hub. Here is basic samples:

i have Developed a small windows Phone 7 app, for our customer[in INDIA]. The Problem is we are giving it free like a goodie for our main site. Is there any way to Upload the app into an Windows Phone without Uploading it to the market place?
To put an app on a phone without going through the marketplace, the phone has to be 'developer unlocked'. Once that is done, you can distribute your .xap file to the customer, and they can transfer the file to any developer unlocked phone. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/publicsector/archive/2011/01/04/unlock-your-windows-phone-7-for-development.aspx
To 'Developer Unlock' you need a developer account. And 'Developer unlocking' each user's phone is practically very difficult.
Instead I would suggest you to upload your app to marketplace and share the marketplace link in your site or mail the link to your users.
I have a windows registration id and have also paid the $99 fee for the annual developer subscription.Presently i am using HTC HD7 for testing my apps.Is it possible to use same registration id for Samsung Focus or any other Windows Phone 7? Or i will have to pay $99 again for using another device?
You can have 3 registered unlocked devices at one time. It is possible to remove device registrations to free up a lot, but that will re-lock the device that you remove.
If I remember my formation, one license comes with 2 WP7 phones and 3 Xboxes.
