Background tasks stop running?

[Snow]

Hi, recently my apps with background tasks stop running. Apps such as wpcentral, amazing weather, battery, das image etc. They stop updating hourly even though under background agent in the settings, they are enabled. Going into the app to restart the background agent doesn't work. Any solution besides factory reset?

You have probably already done this, but have you tried restarting your phone?

first step I did actually! Im thinking that a soft reset is inevitable ):

oh ok thx 4 that but I swear all that still works on battery saver mode. I'll keep n eye on it but it seems they still update but not as often, maybe something in 1314 that peepz missed???

a soft reset is no big deal, pretty much the same as turning ur phone off n on

well I have this problem with wpcentral, class scheduler, amazing weather, das image, battery, chronos calendar. Pretty much all the apps that I have on background tasks so I'm not sure that its a server problem..

Are the above apps all updated??

I had this exact same problem. Push notifications worked fine but everything that relied on a background task just stopped working altogether so all my 'live' tiles were dead.

I tried soft resets, turning it off and on, unpinning/repinning tiles, uninstalling/reinstalling apps...Microsoft just recommended a factory reset (which I didn't do).

This had been happening for two weeks when all of a sudden they started working again. The only thing I did recently was clear out the temporary storage using Nokia Storage Check. No idea if that's what got it working again but now my live tiles are updating again. Maybe give it a try?

I am facing a similar problem as my battery app sometimes refuses to update itself and whatsapp has recently stopped sending me push notifications and even when it does,they are very late. This is a recent problem and before that both apps were working perfectly.
