Web tiles with rss feeds are not syncing unless I open the Health App? Alerts are also only push while syncing the band with Health App.
Running the Health App on Windows Mobile build 10581.
The background component of the Health app will check for updates to Web Tiles every 15 - 30 minutes. The Health app does not need to be running for these periodic updates to occur.

I've set a daily spending limit for my Firebase project.
Inside the same project, I added a NodeJS App Engine app.
So I've received this warning:
In that case, all spending limits are ignored?
If Firebase goes to $99999 it won't be stopped?
Thanks..
The warning you receives reflects reality, if your app is deployed in the App Engine Flexible environment. To avoid $99999 surprises, you can create a budget for a GCP project to protect somehow your bill and monitor all of your Google Cloud Platform charges from one place. To see how you create a budget, you may have a look at the "Managing GCP Projects, App Engine Applications, and Billing" documentation page.
I have built an application with Firebase and I've also made a desktop version available with nw.js. The point of this being to allow for better offline usage in areas with bad or no internet (and it will sync when the user gets internet again). Now, I can disconnect just fine and reconnect while the app is running, but I want to be able to fully close and reload the application. I've seen this blog post from firebase, but it appears this only works for mobile platforms.
Is this currently possible on the web platform, too?
All Firebase SDKs will handle intermittent loss of connectivity (driving through a tunnel). But disk based persistence, which allows the data to survive an app restart, is currently only available in Firebase's iOS and Android SDKs.
I'm developing a Windows desktop application which connects with a Microsoft Band to set alarms as reminders but I cannot find API to do that, is it possible?
No, the alarms functionality within the Band is not exposed via the SDK. You will have to create a phone application that wakes up at such scheduled times and uses the SDK to send notifications to a custom Tile and/or haptic notifications.

I want to create a chat application for ios, android and windows phones as well as it should work with browsers in the future. My search led me to using Signal R with Azure Mobile Services(AMS).
My questions:
1) SignalR uses Websockets under the hood. Is websocket supported in Android, IOS, windows phones and all mobile/desktop browsers??
2) If not, how will it effect using SignalR with AMS?
3) Or should I just use Push notifications supported in AMS?
4) Any sample app/code snippet you can share. Note that I will be using Xamarin for my app development.
5) Any advice you can give for same.
Azure Mobile Services has SignalR integrated, and Azure Mobile Services provide a SDK for client apps, I suppose it is provide out-of-the box
See
Real-time with ASP.NET SignalR and Azure Mobile .NET Backend
Master the Managed Azure Mobile Services Backend–Part Four
High value mobile backend capabilities included
You will find many capabilities included in Mobile Services and readily available for your Web API. Mobile push notifications, real-time notifications with SignalR (auto-scaled out), social auth for your consumer apps, offline data sync for occasionally connected scenarios, to name a few.
Samples:

Sample to help developers to implement Push Notification, through Azure Notification Hubs, in mobile applications.
Note:
Azure Mobile Service is based in WebAPI!
For that you want, you should not use only Push Notification because Push Notification in iOS could not be read by the application if the user ignore it, only in android or windows you can get and save it. Another thing that can be a problem is the fact if the app is running you should not show the push notification and you should show a pop up with the notification... and the push notification can have a delay from the Push Notification Service (Apple, GCM, WNS...). Push notification are a notification that something happened in the app when the user is not using it.
In my opinion you should use AMS+SignalR for realtime communication and then Push Notification for update the user then he not using the app.
Using SignalR is efficient to save yourself from hitting any push notification cap if you ant to limit your costs. But you'll need to either turn notifications on/off at the right time when the app becomes active or inactive, otherwise the app may go in the background and push notifications won't be sent.
You can use a pure push approach where notifications are shown when the app is inactive/in the background, and whenthe app is active, you simply intercept the notification in the app, consume it and cancel it so it doesn't get shown. I have written a blog post on this approach along with 3 samples in Github for iOS, Android and Windows Universal at http://www.ageofmobility.com/2014/10/06/azurechatr-building-a-cross-platform-chat-app-for-windows-ios-android/.
