I made one windows phone 7 app and its working on emulator but I need to test the sensor... so to test the sensor I want to install the app in my phone... how I can do that? I don't want to put it in the market, I just want it for me...
you would need to have a developer unlock device for you to install your own app. and there is also a limit to how many you could install on your device.

I've developed a app in VS2013. I need to send the .XAP file to my customer by email. He will copy the .XAP file to the phone SD card and install the update. The big problem is that the customer is far away from me, they are a company with just Win7 computers and I can't use any program to help me because all the programs that I know it's possible to update the app just runs on Windows 8! I even tried to install a VirtualBox with Windows 8 on the customer computer but it's not recognize the Windows Phone 8.
My last try was to buy a SD card and install on my Nokia520 and see if I copy the XAP file to it and use the Files app (downloaded from the store) to install the .xap file.
When I try to install, I receive the following message:
Can't install company app There's a problem with this company app.
Contact your company's support person to help
I have a developer account and the phone is unlocked.
Is there a way to publish my app remotely without my customer had Windows 8 installed ? All the programs I need that help me to install and update files on the smartphone (Windows Phone Power Tools, IsoStoreSpy and others just runs on Win8 systems).
I really need to remotely install this app and because the app is for the company's use, I don't want to publish to the Windows Phone App store.
Regards!
To install .xap files from your phone's SD card
Insert an SD card that contains one or more .XAP files into your phone.
In the App list, tap Store Store Tile.
Tap More More icon, then tap Install local apps. (If you're running an earlier version of Windows Phone, look for the SD card option instead.)
Note
If you've just inserted the SD card or added the .XAP files, you might need to wait a few minutes before you can access your SD card from the Store.
Select the apps you want, then tap Install.
Installed apps appear in the App list. Depending on the specific app or game, you'll be able to use them as follows:
Free apps and games can be used immediately.
Paid apps and games that have a trial will be available as a trial version that you can purchase later.
Paid apps and games without a trial must be purchased before you can use them.
New to Windows Phone 7 development.
I am using Windows 7 32 bit pro
I am using VS2010.
I connect my WP7 mobile.
I can see the files in Windows Explorer.
I create a New W7 project. I select deploy to device.
I get this error:
"Zune software is not launched. Retry after making sure that Zune software is launched"
Zune is installed.
It seems to be running?
It still does not deploy.
I Google around.
All the answers are to select the Emulator instead.
I don't want the emulator. I want to use the device.
What else can I check?
I found that on Google:
http://dhakshinamoorthy.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/getting-almost-started-with-windows-phone-7-1-development/
Αt some point says:
" Now build the project, if everything goes right you will get an error. “Zune software is not launched. Retry after making sure that Zune software is launched.”, and please do so. Also make sure, you don’t have any keypad lock on your phone device. Also make sure the phone is not pin locked."
So in my opinion the problem is that your phone is locked and Zune can't access your device.
I am making a windows 8 app for one of our clients. How can i share the app with them so that they can install it on their windows 8 phone and test it.
I tried sharing the xmp file, but when they try to install the app it says "Not a company app". I do have a windows dev company account with me, but not able to figure out how to get the app installed on my clients windows 8 phone.
Please help.
There are a few options to "ad-hoc" distribute your alpha/beta version:
Company app distribution for Windows Phone to read more about this option visit this link
You can publish the app to the Marketplace using the Hide from users browsing or searching the Store so it will be private, only users with a link will be able to access it
you can use the Beta app distribution (i believe there is a limit of few thousand users using a beta version, 10000 maybe? you have to add email addresses of users manually)
Windows Intune for Direct Management of Windows Phone devices. You can "distribute applications to users in either of the following ways: External link or Software installer

I have developed a windows phone 8 application. I have a developer account and unlocked device. Now I'm able to deploy/install the application in my phone through windows phone development sdk.
Now I want to install this application in another device ( a device of my friend, who is in different location). I don't want to put this application in the app store. I want to mail the XAP file only to him. So is there any other way to install this (XAP file) application in his mobile.
I am looking forward your responses.
Thanks.
Are you aware of the Windows Phone's Beta testing. You can push your app to the store in BETA test mode and can specify the testers Microsoft emails ids, so that only those people can install and test the app. The app won't be publicly accessible. and AFAIK, you cannot install unsigned XAP's in un-unlocked devices.
For more details check this : Beta testing your app
Please Refer this link,
I think this will solved your query.
Using this you can install a .xap file in windows phone easily.

I hope you will get the answer.
i am new to windows phone app development , i wanted to know
if is there any other alternative way to test a windows phone app apart from testing in a windows phone device and testing vs2012 built in emulator ???
1) The reason i have asked like these that i wanted to know if i can download a windows phone emulator separately and test my app in it.
2)Am i missing any other alternative provided ?
Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.
No these are your options. You can start the emulator without VS, and you can deploy apps to it via a command line tool, but you don't get any of these without installing the WP SDK for VS2012. But since this is all free, is that a big deal?
You could submit your app to the store as a beta, and have invited users test your app on their phones.
This article may be of use, although it still requires .NET framework and some other dependencies (but I don't think you'll ever get away without using them):
