If anyone is interested i managed to *cough* borrow a Nokia 930 with Cyan and quickly talk via BLE to NETMF

 

It's actually very simple..... (a bit like me  :rolleyes: )

Did you write the i2m app? Windows phone sdk I assume?  BLE?  I'm such a newb.

If other people with 8.1 on their phone run into problems with BLE, it's likely because you have the developer version of 8.1 installed.

 

For now (not sure on long term here), the firmware won't deploy to Nokia devices running the developer version of 8.1. In order to get the firmware (which is required for BLE) you need to revert your device back and install the consumer 8.1.

 

Super inconvenient, sorry. But I want to make sure you have a workaround.

A bit off topic, but do you suppose that the following problem that I am having could be related to the developer version of 8.1. My 521 is unlocked, no SIM installed with Win 8.1.1 preview developer edition and is connected to my wireless network. If I type a known site such as Google or Yahoo into IE on the 521, the page display is nearly instantaneous so WiFi works just fine.

 

The problem is I have several devices on my network that are administered by web servers. If I type an IP address such as 192.168.0.166 to access the server it is necessary to login with a user name and a password. I can login from any computer on my network, but not with the Lumia 521. With the 521, the login page comes up and I enter the correct user/password, but it is always rejected.

 

I bought the Lumia 521 specifically to test login to the device servers from the Internet via DynDns. Port forwarding is setup correctly on my router. However, when I insert a T-Mobile SIm in good standing (wiFi, off) and issue <MyDevice>.dyndns.org:8080 from IE on the 521, the same thing happens; the login is rejected.

@Baxter it's *possible* but I'm not aware of any similar issue.

 

Sounds like a script on the page might be doing some sort of bad browser detection.

 

In the browser, click the IE ellipsis at the bottom right corner, click settings, and then change to the desktop version (tells the site to send desktop not mobile pages). See if that fixes it.

Thanks Pete, I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work for a simple network login to my router. The problem must be somehow related to the developer preview 8.1 for Windows Phone. I guess I am forced dig out an old DD-WRT router with NAT-loopback enabled to test internet access for devices behind my router.

Sorry, that's really strange.

 

Can you email me the router make/model and firmware version to pete dot brown at microsoft dot com so I can report it to the IE team?

 

Please include your phone make/model and Windows version number as well, if you can.
