I am making a app for windows phone. I use visual studio 2010 and the windows phone sdk which includes the windows phone emulator. My program crashes when i lock the phone’s screen (actual device). So i decided to fix this issue. but now i found out that there is no way to debug this because the emulators screen can’t be locked.
Is there any way to lock (screen of) the window phone emulator?
There are replacement emulator ROMS that some clever developers have created/hacked, like http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13488/test-all-features-of-windows-phone-7-on-your-pc/
They enable additional features, including screen lock/unlock, that MS chose to turn off in the basic emulator.
Best try find the latest, and best-rated, version of these replacement ROMS before attempting them.
Also please note as they repeat in that article:
This modified emulator image is not official, and isn’t sanctioned by Microsoft. Use your own judgment when choosing to download and use the emulator
