Dev Platform
Welcome to the Windows Phone Developer Feedback site
This forum focuses on the developer platform (APIs, runtimes, and controls) that you use to build great app experiences for Windows Phone. Additional WPDev forums are available using the links along the right of the page. Consumer features suggestions should be submitted to the Windows Phone Suggestion Box site (http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/).
Suggestions provided via the WPDev UserVoice forum will be reviewed and read by the Windows Phone developer platform team, providing feedback to help with planning ideas and to better understand how developers are using the development platform, and all suggestions will be considered.
Two important notes about this site: (a) List items (and item rankings) represent community interest in features, and does not represent an actual priority list for the product team; and (b) Suggestions made using this forum will be moderated if they do not actually represent a feature request.

phone history threading
having come from iPhone and loving my WP7.5 device, i miss the threading of calls. example you call Mr. Smith 6 times and he calls you twice, have them collapsed into a list that you can expand, this reduces the size of the list and lets your be more organized. searching by missed, Called, and all would be great at well.

Fix UdpAnySourceMulticastClient to properly support SSDP broadcasts
SSDP (used in UPnP) relies on UDP multicast for discovery. Currently UdpAnySourceMulticastClient allows for the listening to existing SSDP traffic, as well as sending a solicitation (M-SEARCH) out requesting that UPnP devices advertise themselves to the solicitor.
When a device replies to the M-SEARCH message it sends a unicast message to the IP & port that the M-SEARCH message was sent from.
There is no way for a WP7 application using UdpAnySourceMulticastClient or Socket to listen on the correct port, thus requiring a great deal of time to be spent in any UPnP application when doing device discovery.
Proper socket…

inputscope only numbers, "+", "-" and decimal "."

Access Cards API
API to emulate Radio Access Cards using NFC. That way WP can be used as a universal access card. A lot of corporate users who have to carry their access card with them will appreciate it. It will eliminate the situation when a person forgets his access card and has to go to the security office to get a temporary one.
One possible application of such API is ability to configure the access card ID from Active Directory. That way IT administrators will be able to provision new access codes using familiar infrastructure.
It will also make a corporation more…22 votes -

periodic task configurable
At the moment, the periodic task runs every 30 minutes. My suggestion is to make this interval configurable. For example, if you want to retrieve gelolocations frequently in the background. It is just not possible to do this at the moment. Other platforms (iOS and Android do support this!!!!!). Let the user decide what he wants (concerning battery life etc). Don't define restrictions for developers.

Make XNA apps run on WinRT
I mean we have got XNA running on WP7 phones, so why can't we port our XNA games onto WinRT Tablets?
It is crazy not to have a unified Phone & Tablet platform like iOS. So please ensure XNA and Silverlight platforms are available on both WP8 & WinRT Tablets21 votes -
Get a New TV Advertising company for UK
I'm betting on WP7 growing in 2012 - U need to do a MUCH better 'Job' on the TV advertising - I saw the start of the TV advert and said to myself 'Please don't let this be the new WP7 ad ' and sure as heck it was. My friends know I'm developing for WP7 and the current stuff is embarrasing. Get that Brandon bloke back !

Microphone sampling frequency should be controlled. Now it is fixed.
Microphone sampling frequency is fixed. So Microphone.SampleRate property just returns this fixed value. For example the HTC Mozart microphone sample frequency is fixed as 16000 Hz. It isn't useful for several intersting application.
