GENERAL ----------------------------------------------- For general information and support of PhoNetInfo, please visit http://www.patrickfrei.ch/phonetinfo/ 1.1. PHONE SUPPORT ----------------------------------------------- PhoNetInfo is compatible with all Windows Phone 8.x devices (e.g. Nokia Lumia). PhoNetInfo is officially signed by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com). ================================================================================ 3. KNOWN ISSUES 3.1. "OS Version" does not show revision number ---------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE: "OS Version" does not show revision number but only major, minor and build numbers. Example: 8.10.12397.0 is shown instead of 8.10.12397.895 AFFECTED DEVICES: All Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1 devices. SOLUTION: This issue should be fixed in an upcoming firmware version. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND: Nokia Lumia firmware bug 3.2. "Wifi Status" always set on "Disabled" ---------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE: "Wifi Status" is always set is always false, regardless whether Wifi is turned on or off. AFFECTED DEVICES: All Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8.0 GDR1 and GDR2 devices. SOLUTION: This issue has been fixed in Windows Phone 8.x firmware versions. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND: Nokia Lumia firmware bug 3.3. Number of info items not comparable to Symbian version ---------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE: The number of info items provided by PhoNetInfo for Windows Phone is not comparable to the ones provided by PhoNetInfo for Symbian. A lot of useful information, such as network signal strength, IMEI, IMSI, etc. is missing in PhoNetInfo for Windows Phone. AFFECTED DEVICES: All Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8.x & Windows 10 Mobile devices. SOLUTION: The programming interfaces (API) of Windows Phone 8.x and Windows 10 Mobile do not allow to retrieve information about e.g. network signal strength, IMEI, IMSI, etc. There is simply no way to this this, whereas the number of info items provided by PhoNetInfo for Symbian cannot be directly compared to the ones provided by PhoNetInfo for Windows Phone and Windows Mobile. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND: Programming interface (API) restrictions 3.4. Device Total Mass Storage doesn't show exact total ---------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE: The item "Device Total Mass Storage" doesn't reflect the same value as shown in the built in device membery overview. AFFECTED DEVICES: All Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8.x and Windows 10 Mobile devices. SOLUTION: Device Total Mass Storage refelects the total number of bytes available to the user who is associated with the calling thread. This means that memory reserved for the system is not taken into account by the Device Total Mass Storage item. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND: Functional programming restriction ================================================================================ 4. LICENSE Copyright (c) 2016 Patrick Frei.
