I'm doing some development for windows mobile phone 7. I have the emulator installed and can deploy and debug the application. However, I'm getting random application crashes that I'm trying to debug. When I've worked with other emulators, there are log files that give log details from system libraries and other framework components that are being used.
Are there any such logs with mobile emulator?
Is it the emulator that is crashing? Or the application?
If its the application, then you should be able to use the VS2010 debugger with "break on exceptions" turned on and with intellitrace options.
If its the emulator, then sorry - but I don't know of any log files available.

As per the phone gap documentation I had added the ripple google chrome extension to test Phonegap - windows emulator. But it does not have any option to check windows OS emulator.
How can I setup Phonegap - Windows emulator?
Since publishing windows app is taking too long time unable to launch app every time and test.
Can anyone help me to setup a Windows emulator?
I found the solution for this.
Phonegap provides the solution for this. We can download the phonegap Developer Application from android and windows market place.
Android: Click Here
Windows: Click Here
Once installation done, get the URL and connect through developer tool. Below is the reference screenshot.
I have created an Mobile App for Windows Phone 8.1 using tools for Apache Cordova. When trying to Sideload the app using the windows phone 8.1 application deployment tool i receive an error "Error - A packaging error prevented this application from installing". Does anyone know what this means, the cause and how to fix it? The process is inconsistent as there are times it works without issues and other times it doesn't work constantly any ideas.
I try to debug my windows 8.1 application on the device (lumia 630) but I get the following error:
"The application could not be launched for debugging. Ensure that the target device screen is unlocked and that the application is installed."
The application is installing and I can run it without problems on the device. I also can debug the application in the emulator. The only problem appears when trying to debug on the device. I tried everything I could find with a google search...This inclues restarting the Windows Phone IP over USB service, reinstalling the W8 SDK, un-installing the app before debugging.
If someone has an idea, no matter how stupid it is I would like to hear it. I really need the phone debugging.
I want to test my Windows 8 phone app. I want to plug it into the desktop computer and view the JavaScript console output on the desktop.
I can debug the app itself in Visual Studio but I want to see the JavaScript console output.
Is this possible? I know you can do it with Android phone
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging#enable-usb-debugging
but what about the Windows 8 phone? What about previous versions of the windows phone? What about the different versions of the iOS?
It is not possible to do this on Windows Phone 8.
There is no information available about what may be possible in future versions.
Unfortunately, you'll have to show your output on the page to debug web pages on actual devices.
You can use WEINRE (WEb INspector REmote). It works with all platforms and it's free.
This is documented on Channel9
Launch Visual Studio and press Ctrl + Shift + P (or navigate to Debug > Other Debug Targets > Debug Windows Phone Internet Explorer).
I'm trying to test a mobile website I'm building using Windows Phone 7, but I can't figure out how to do it. It seems that the SDK wants me to build an application first in order to use the emulator, but I'm not building an app, I simply want to test compatibility of my mobile site with windows phones. How do I do this?
If you install the free Windows Phone SDK you can run an emulator in standalone mode (i.e. without Visual Studio running).
Search for "Windows Phone Emulator" from the Start menu and just launch that directly.
Once in the emulator about the only thing you can do is launch IE Mobile.
(To enter URLs and other text using your real computer keyboard instead of the onscreen keyboard tap your "Pause/Break" to toggle keyboard mode)
You should be able to run emulator without building an app
try C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\XDE Launcher\XdeLauncher.exe
If now start visual studio and make an app f.e. Silverlight for Windows 7. Emulator will be loaded with debbuger attached. If you stop the app in VS, emulator should be still there. It has preinstalled IE which you can use to test.
Mind that it's better to test your web app on a real device.
