have you tried unpinning and repining the tile?
Yes. Still no good.

My tiles and background tasks are not working either since 1308 update.
I have the following:
-Accuweather as my lockscreen background.
-gMpas runs in the background to report my location to Google Latitude.
-Battery Level, live tile and lockscreen notifications.
None of these apps are updating my lockscreen, notifications, or live tiles.
I've tried blocking them, then enabling them to run in the backgroun on next application start.
Then I tried the same thing except rebooting between blocking them and checking them off to run in the background again.
I've tried a soft reset and unpinning and pinning again.
My only option left is a hard reset, which I don't really want to do as many users are reporting it bricks their device.
I've had issues with my background tasks in the past. But it hasn't happened in months.
This is a good opportunity to get a replacement unit. Just try to get a new unit - refurbs are just returned units which Nokia/AT&T reflashes with latest firmware/OS and which may still have hardware defects/issues which were the actual reasons for their returns in first place.Same here, at the request of Nokia support I hard reset my phone. Now I have a brick with spinning gears.
My third party Live Tiles not working was driving me mad. I googled the problem and arrived at this:
Tech Tip: Windows Phone How To Fix Stuck Live Tiles That Won’t Update | R.B. Russell.com
Seemed promising, and I had a good feeling about it. Did as it says, but still no good.
I contacted windows phone support on twitter, and they basically told me to do the same as above. I told them that I did and that it didn't work, and their reply was to give it a couple of days. I was sceptic, but the support was confident that it would solve the problem. Lo and behold, give or take a couple of days later, my third party live tiles are back working again!
Hope this helps. I am glad I remained patient and resisted the urge to do a hard reset.
I just got a Network + update and the tiles are working again!!!

You're absolutely right! I am able to confirm they had to outright replace the phone after the update from 1308. 1314 wasn't deployed at that time. Hard resets seem to be a brick enabler of a thing since 1308 apparently. I have upgraded to 1314 on my replacement Lumia 920 but I have same issues of live tiles not updating so it's not a great update regardless of what was enhanced or introduced with 1308 or 1314. The joys of phone updates are becoming less and less
