Live Tiles driving me insane

[mikeegan12]

I have had live tiles stop updating, some apps require that you open them up once in a while to continue to get updates, I know my weather channel app does that to me...

Yes, I am aware of this, my live tiles (3rd party) all stopped working at the same time.

After having my Quantum for a little over a year now I can say that the Live Tiles do not work 100% of the time. Some get "stuck" for a few days. Others just take way more time to update sometimes.
A month ago I traveled from Colorado to Philadelphia and many of my tiles stopped working. It was like I was back to NoDo. After returning home more tiles stopped working one by one. I'm still not sure if the time zone screwed things up or something happened before I left but finally after 11 months of having the the phone I reluctantly did a reset. All tiles have been working since-well 90% of them have been working consistently.
It sucks to have to do a reset. But I guess going 11 months ain't too bad being that I hear driod lovers have to pull their battery once a week to unfreeze locked up phones!

ya, I have noticed this too. Some tiles do get stuck from time to time and you have to open the app to get it working again. In my case all 3rd party live tiles had stopped working.

I've came from an Android and it did freeze sometimes and was laggy 50% of the time especially when I really needed it (google maps freezing when I was lost and late for a site inspection). This is why I moved to a windowsphone.

So if you do have to reset don't be afraid-it wasn't as bad as I thought it would it be. Didn't re-install about half of the apps I had on it cause I wasn't using them anyway. Put some pix and videos back on-I wasn't really looking at stuff from 9 months ago either...
Zune keeps a list of every app you installed FYI..

Slightly Off-Topic

..."as items arrive," which I assume would use a lot more bandwidth and battery because it's frequently checking. I tend to set them to 15 minutes. ...

In my opinion, and I have heard many others state this, "as they arrive" is better for using less power than selecting a periodic time for syncing. As I understand it, syncing sends a signal out to the server, whereas "push" which I believe to be the same as "as items arrive" is just in a state of constant readiness.
I have my five email accounts set to "as items arrive" except for the Yahoo! mail which is POP or IMAP (I forgot which) and doesn't support push.

Another way to look at it depends on how much mail you get, and how important it is to you. If you get lots of spam or less important mail, leaving it at an hour or so may be just fine, that way it syncs only once for several messages.

On average, I probably get less than two messages an hour, but many have a degree of time sensitivity. If I had it set to sync every 15 minutes, sometimes I would not get a message when synced, but theoretically, if I got one, it could already be 14 minutes old.

I have not been able to find any official info on this, so there is a chance that I'm wrong. I'd love to hear from someone with better knowledge of it.

I wonder whether this is an hTC issue. I had my The Wether Channel and hTC Hub lost updating on my HD7 twice or so (over more than a year). If entering the app doesn't resolve the issue, turn off the phone and turn it on again will do.

I found out that this became a much more noticeable issue after the supposedly keyboard update....
