I am developing for Windows Phone 7.
My application uses GeoCoordinateWatcher to detect user current position.
Now my client is asking me to test GPS functionality. But i don't have Windows Phone 7 mobile available here. I want to connect a GPS receiver with my laptop and somehow connect that to Windows Phone 7 emulator so the emulator would receive the data from my USB GPS receiver.
Is it possible?
You can try Kevin D. Wolf's GPS simulator for Windows Phone 7.
It will allow you to test the GPS fonctionality of your app without any GPS device.

I am developing an app that A dongle (USB) device must connect to Android OS supported device(mobile phones, tablets...) via OTG (On-The-Go) cable. The problem starts here. I need to do debug while the dongle is connected to the Mobile phone. Unfortunately, such situation makes connecting mobile phone to PC and debugging method impossible. ( Mobile phone has 1 socket but I need 2, one for connecting the dongle to mobile phone and other for connecting mobile phone to pc for debugging)
Is there a way such that the Android Studio Emulator can access to USB device on the PC?
EDIT I have found an alternative way like connecting the mobile phone to PC via Bluetooth which is explained here.
EDIT 2: A better and clear way : Installing Genymotion and Virtual Box.
Another option (I use daily) is
adb connect phone_ip
The phone should be connected to wifi (the host also).
Lots of sources for that on the net (here is one)

I have a program called Cam & Weather and I am supporting Windows Phone 7.x and Windows Phone 8 platform. This application uses camera. What I'd like to have in the next version is to detect a device if running in Windows Phone 8, so I can register the application for Camera Lens.
I'd like to know how to do this? IF the user installed the application in Windows Phone 8, How do you register the application for Camera Lens?
Thanks
You can't support Lenses with an app that targets both Windows Phone 7 & Windows Phone 8 with the same XAP.
You will have to upgrade your project to Windows Phone 8 in order to use the new APIs.
If you still want to maitnain a WP7 version of the app, you should look at the options listed here.

I am planning to put the device in loudspeaker mode from my win phone application. (Like on click of some button)
Are there any APIs or workarounds to do so on Windows Phone 7.1?
There is no API available to control a loud speaker or speaker phone mode.
You can only control the relative volume of any sound you're directly playing.
