Lab.dev
Lab.dev is a virtual device laboratory that incorporates the remote phone management service. You can test your developed application in the same environment of real device through Lab.dev.

Windows Mobile

Lab.dev is a virtual device laboratory that allows the installation and testing, over the Web, of applications on Samsung Windows Mobile phones.

Lab.dev is available to all members of Samsung Mobile Innovator free of charge (regardless of Membership Status), and you can reserve phones for your own unique use during specified time slots.

You can start the system after signing into the Forum, and you automatically receive a number of credits per day. Each block of 15 minutes’ usage takes one credit, and the minimum time slot is 30 minutes (2 credits). Currently, the limit has been set at 40 credits, which equals 10 hours of daily usage time.

Phone Availability

All the phones are attached via a Web Server. However, not all phones available to you for application testing may be active at the same time, and Lab.dev therefore differentiates between those phones that are active and those that are currently disconnected. To reserve a specific future time slot, refer to the attached User Guide.

  • Installation and running of applications on the phones.

Platform Security and Signing

Installing applications on the phones may require the installation packages to be signed. In some cases, self-signing may be
sufficient. If the application needs to be signed, sign the CAB file before uploading it
As a courtesy to fellow developers, please remove the application from the phone after testing.
