Quick update. I uninstalled a number of apps that I'm no longer using, some of which have live tiles and background tasks that are blocked. There were at least 3 different calendar ones.
Woke up this morning and all 4 of my live tiles were up to date (first time in about 6 weeks).
I'll have to see if this has cured it. But should one rogue app cause the whole live tile concept to break?
Hey guys,
I had some issues with my tiles not updating on my 7 Pro (running WP7.8, but I guess the not updating issue is the same on WP8 and WP7.8). A few days ago my Amazing Weather Tile stopped updating. I tried some other apps (Fuse, Das Image) and realised: none of them updated their tiles. At least not as often as they should... I rebooted my phone, checked all the background apps (only the ones I used for the live tiles were activated) and so on... nothing could solve my problem.
After a day or two I deleted WhatsApp from my phone. (I really don't like WhatsApp and the idea of being "online" all the time. My friends tend to think that just because of a smartphone having an internet connection the user is available all the time. I use SMS and email a lot, so I don't need WhatsApp so much... Because of not really having the "need" to use WhatsApp AND the really annoying Song-Playing-For-WiFi-issue I deleted the app)
After doing that my phone started to update all the tiles! There was just one day (a period of maybe 4 hours) where there were no updates. I gues it was because of some connection issues from my provider. As I said: the tiles work just fine now!
Don't know weather or not WhatsApp was the main problem, but my phone works just fine after deleting it... Maybe you should give it a try?
I would think if it was the OS then everyonr or at least many many mant more people would have the same issue I do not. NL 920 ATT most current updates all installed.
Which is why I suspect that whatever mechanism that manages live tiles is being broken by some app I installed or some weakness in the live tile interface. Or worse, a series of apps is causing it. I'm continuing to drop and document apps daily until my weather and calendar apps work again.Indeed many many more ppl have this issue one time or another. There are many such posts all over the internet forums. Not everyone encounter this problem all the time.
