I've been looking for documentation on whether or not it is possible to unlock windows phone 7 or 8 using Bluetooth or NFC, and thus far haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Unfortunately you can't unlock a windows phone without using the screen.

I would like to control my windows mobile from desktop.
I'd like to have full access, keyboard and mouse as well.
Is there any way to do it?
If both of your devices support Miracast you can use the Connect app. Find more info on Windows Central here.
Edit: If you want to control your phone, just open the Connect app from your Action Center. This will work even for not Continuum enabled phones. You still have to enable the connection in Settings app on PC and you may have to pair the PC with the phone over the Bluetooth.
Seems like there is an app called PC remote, created by microsoft.
If that's something like what you're looking for: https://www.microsoft.com/da-dk/store/p/pc-remote/9wzdncrfhvwt.
Edit: Thats a Danish version, but I think you should be able to find an English version aswell.
There is one snapping feature in Windows 8 os(for desktops).
I want to know is that Snapping feature supported by the Windows Phone 8.
If yes, how we can implement that.
I searched in Google but not able to find the satisfy answers.
The answer is no, you can't have an app snapped in Windows Phone like you do in Windows 8. Not even you can have two apps sharing screen.
I've used the following code on Windows Phone 7 and 8 to disable user idle detection when my App is displaying data to the user and they are unlikely to interact with the screen e.g. A recipe App where the screen needs to stay on:

Does anyone know if there is an analogue of this available for Windows 8 applications? My tablet app has the same requirement to disable the screen turning off. I haven't managed to find anything :-(
Many thanks,
Jon
You should use the DisplayRequest class, specifically DisplayRequest.RequestActive for this purpose. You must also remember to call DisplayRequest.RequestRelease once you are done to allow the display to sleep, for example, if you are not viewing a recipe, or you are in a menu screen, etc.
I wish show presentation of wp7 application on PC monitor, how i can do it using usb-connection and without cameras =)

Thanks!
This link should give you a bit of help with what you are trying to achieve Capturing Windows Phone Screen on your Computer
However this is a "Hack" so I would proceed with caution!
I am looking to get into Windows phone 7 development. I am running Windows 7 and i know it supports multi touch which i can then use in the emulator if enabled.
Is there any way for me to try this out without me paying a premium for a tablet, phone or touch monitor?
Many thanks,
Kohan.
You could always emulate multitouch until you have an actual phone to test on.
Just found this, how to make your own surface like touch screen. Wow!
