[dba-Tech] MICROSOFT Lumia 950 Dual

Sat Feb 6 02:26:34 CST 2016

 Hi All --

Thank you everybody who replied to this topic.

It's a pity Cortana isn't supported when Russia or Denmark or many other countries of this world are set as a WinPhone (e.g. Lumia 950) home region.

I wanted to write a small WinPhone app for my own use controlled by a few voice commands and I thought Cortana would be helpful to start with to investigate the available options.
I did read Jim's note on open source promising solution - but I need solution in a near future. 

I'm currently looking for .NET technologies to be used in WinPhone apps for voice recognition - Windows 10 guides are here -  https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/mt244352.aspx , and voice recognition sample for Win10  universal apps is here  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/mt185615.aspx..  .

Thank you.

>On my Lumia 635 I plug in a USB cable that has a normal USB plug on one end for the PC, and a micro (or mini?) plug on the other.  The phone asks me if I want to use a USB data connection for the phone and I select Yes.  This also serves to slow-charge the phone - which is handy.

>Once you are plugged in, the PC will recognize the phone and you can then browse through a few folders to get at the photos.

>Much better than disassembling the phone!

>If you want to get the photos from the phone to your computer, the easiest way to do it is by taking out the micro SD card from the phone and by using a card reader. This is also the easiest way to move music from your computer to the SD card. Otherwise, it’ll be really annoying to move files back-and-forth from the phone, especially if you are using a Mac."

>To my knowledge, Cortana is for a limited selection of languages only which – at least – doesn’t include Danish, so I can’t use ”her” as I don’t want to set up the phone for UK or US.
>That said, my life isn’t really that complicated that I need a butler to stay clear of trouble, so I don’t miss the feature, except that it could be fun.

>It doesn't speak Russian (and as far as I see it doesn't speak Danish language too), and to activate it to speak/recognize English I have to setup my region as UK or US, but if I'll do that I can loose my Win Store accounts etc.... sounds very weird - am I missing something?
