Does Anyone Know When Windows 8.1 Is Coming Out For Windows Phone

If everyone I know loves their Windows phone, then why doesn't anyone else buy it?

I personally think it comes down to this, there are people buying and recommending Windows Phone, but it really comes down to the carriers and their sales people to push and sale the devices. People can love their phones all they want but if the populace is not aware of Windows Phone, then how exactly would they know to buy it? Windows Phones are competing with iOS and Android, two phones operating systems that historically have gotten pushed far more than Windows Phones have. When a customer who doesn't care which phone or operating system they end up with and goes into a their local carrier/Bestbuy store, they mostly either get told to buy an iPhone or the newest high end Android phone. So when the sales people aren't even trying to sale your phone, or are trying to convince people to pick another os over yours, how exactly are you supposed to sale them outside promoting them with advertisements? The only Windows Phone OEM who has been trying to change this has been Nokia since their introduction of their Lumia 900. Whether this will make a difference in the long run remains to be seen. As for the advertisements, Microsoft has historically put out some horrible advertisements for WP but as of late has seem to turn this around in different ways, like their Smoked by Windows Phone campaign. Also some think (and I tend to agree) that the name Windows in Windows Phone was a horrible choice for the name of their new OS. People tend to think of Windows as uncool, or buggy, or things like that, and that isnt the first thing you want to pop in a potential customers head when they hear of your new struggling OS. They could of named it something like Metro Phone and kept it from being associated with the negativity that comes with the brand Windows. At the end of the day of course its not just up to the carriers to get the word out, about Windows Phone, hopefully with the launch of Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface more and more people will find out how awesome of an phone and tablet OS Windows Phone is. I like my Windows Phone, the Samsung Focus, been rocking this baby for a year now and its still going strong :)

Why does the windows 8 phone suck ?

The app store is lacking good apps because when companies and businesses make apps they have to develop that app over and over again for each operating system they want that app to be on. Like Minecraft Pocket Edition, Mojong AB made Minecraft for iOS then a lot of Android users wanted it. So then they had to make the app all over again and then release it to the Android Market. They did not want to make the game AGAIN just because they want it to be on Windows Phone devices. Because they know that no one really uses Windows Phone devices because there so expensive and the app store isn't the best.

If your looking for advice i say Android is better. The app store is FULL OF APPS and their apps can do way much more then iOS apps and Windows Phone apps could ever do. Like emulate a Sony PSP and play PSP games on your Android Phone. Or boost / overclock you phones CPU. And plus the interface is better and the apps are not expensive at all.

I have a Lumia 535 with Windows phone 8 OS and I want to know the password of the network already connected. How to do it?

Unfortunately I can not guarantee this will work 100% since my testing environment is suboptimal.  In other words, pretty much any closed network my phone has connected to, my laptop has, too.But...If you have a laptop running Win8 or higher (worked on my 10 Tech Preview), and you sign into it with the same MS account you do your phone, it should have your mystery key.  As long as you have settings sync setup.To find it, open PowerShell and type the following command:netsh wlan show profile name="Your SSID" key=clearKeep the quotes where the SSID goes.  You should see results with four sections.  Under the third section, Security Settings, the Key Content value will be your WiFi password.I hope this works, but I am going to look into an app-based solution for you.

Does WhatsApp have a Windows 8 phone app?

Yes. WhatsApp

Can i install magic jack on windows phone?

Think about the question. A Magic Jack lets you use broadband to get dial tone. What does a windows phone do? Isn't it already a phone?

In your wildest dreams, you could use the Windows phone WiFi to get Ethernet connectivity and plug in an MJ. Rube Goldberg would be proud.

When will Windows 11 come out?

Never.There is no Windows 11.Microsoft does not have a team of programmers working on Windows 11. Operating systems do not appear magically out of nowhere: they have to be written and beta tested before release. Users — including governments and giant corporations — have to know about this in advance. It can’t be done in secret. If it was happening: (1) we’d know about it; (2) Microsoft would be lying about its current strategy of delivering “Windows as a Service”.What Microsoft is doing at the moment is updating Windows 10 on a continuous basis, and releasing two major updates each year. I don’t see that changing.What I guess will happen is that Microsoft will wait until Windows 7 and 8 are out of support, and then it will drop the “10” so that Windows will just be Windows.Incidentally, your question is superfluous and has already been answered on Quora at, for example, When will Windows 11 come out?UPDATE: Some people are hopelessly confused about Microsoft’s 10-year lifecycle support. In fact, the original version of Windows 10 (Windows 10 Initial Release 1507 RTM Build: 10240.17236) is already out of support. You have to keep updating Windows 10 in order to stay supported. Each time you update, support is extended. Therefore it never ends.What you can expect to happen is that Microsoft will align Windows 10 updates with Office 365 updates, and for many users, will bundle the two together. In that context, expecting an update to Windows 11 is exactly the same as expecting an update to Office 366. It’s not going to happen.
