Live tiles not updating

[NXH]

Deleting the history of internet explorer (IE) fixes the issue. I did not have to reboot or do remove the tiles or uninstall and then reinstall any of my apps.

All I did was deleting the history of the IE and every tile is updating now

Thanks for the tip. Was about to say power off or reboot, but maybe this is a new option.

My live tiles also quit working on my 920. Restarting didn't do anything. Then I went to show off one of the apps that used the camera and it didn't work. I did a soft reset and that fixed the camera issue. Later that evening, the camera didn't work again (Nokia lights or something like that). I did a reset and discovered this morning that the live tiles started working again! Strange. Hopefully they stay working now.

Did a hard reset, nothing else worked.

To understand what's a live tile is , it's a program that runs periodically and has a maximum (1-2 days) lengths then it'll stop updating, Its important for this process for you to open tiles that matters to you so it could restart that timetable and provide you with new updates .

So to sum it up , Open the app for any tile at least once a day and it won't stop updating .

Happened to me yesterday and lasted until today. What fixed the problem for me was going into background tasks and disabling all live tiles I have active - but selecting to reactivate when reopening the app.

Mine have been very sporadic the last few days. The usual fixes (rebooting, disabling background tasks in setting and reopening app) aren't working. To be honest, I thought this kind of crap was over with. Very disheartening.

Having same issues now. Weatherflow and battery not updating. Sucks

If your live tiles stopped refreshing automatically after the Portico update (like mine did), please follow the steps I mentioned here to see if it helps: http://forums.windowscentral.com/no...portico-how-get-live-tiles-working-again.html

It didn't require anything so dramatic. I have rebooted the phone twice, but the third time they started working again with no further issues.

Background agents for tiles have a time period of 2 weeks before they will be blocked automatically if the app is not opened up within that time.


For those that are having issues with live tiles, how many background tasks do you have running? For WeatherFlow, they say that if you have more that 6 the live tile will not update correctly. Also tiles can only update in minimal intervals of 30 minutes, this is restricted by the OS, don't expect them to update real time.

I seem to have most apps working fine bar the pinned Facebook messages (Facebook app). Never shows anything any more! Settings in app fine, tile only notifications and link/security between MS and FB also fine. Any one else use the FB message count?

Weather Flow had a warning that came with it asking for no more than 6 active background agents to be active for the live tile to work. I disabled the extra ones but that didn't do anything. Since installing Weather Flow, I've had none of my Live Tiles populate automatically.

I've never installed Weather Flow, but I recently installed something that brought up the same warning about a limit of six 6 active background agents or tasks. I don't recall which app triggered this, but at some point shortly thereafter most of my live tiles stopped updating (only people hub and its related phone, email and messaging tiles are now updating). I'd love to know what happened to my tiles. And what is the deal with that pop-up warning?

Does that mean my live tiles for sms, whatsaap, emails etc would also update once in 30 minutes even if there is a new msg?

push notifications for updates are different than background tasks for updates. Push notifications will update tiles as they are received. Background task updates will be limited to 30 minutes. It all depends on the app developer and how they choose to handle notifications.

Clearing the IE history/cache is what fixed mine.

ESPN is just some crazy ****. The live tile will update but currently it's stuck at half-time from yesterday's Chicago Bulls game!

I have the same problem with ESPN. halftime scores will stay there for days. I have uninstalled and re-installed it a couple of times and it still does the same thing. I will move on to a differnt sports app when I can find one.

Yeah, it's pretty sad that we're not at the point where the live tile functionality is complete. This is one of my favorite's and the Nokia version is no better.

I am having the same issue now too and it happens every so often. I have two live tiles, Amazing Weather and WP Central, neither are updating. I never had an issue on my Titan II or my first 920. Got a replacement 920, and now they tiles are not updating. I don't get it.

On a side note, when my tiles stop updating, my battery life shows a crazy amount left...5 days 2 hours. I just did a soft reset and the WP Central tile shows it is updated. Battery life now shows 1 day 16 hours. So when live tiles are working battery life shows a lot lower.

 

[Cerif27]

Yeah. I've posted on a couple other threads about this. Something bigger must be going on. This has been really widespread since portico. literally NONE of my live tiles are updating as they are supposed to. Amazing Weather HD, the ME tile, WP Central. Nothing. I have tried everything suggested and nothing has worked yet. Have any of the previous posters that found a solution had a relapse yet? Did your solution work for multiple days without question? Hit us back. There are a lot of people out here that are at a complete loss over, arguably, the most important feature of the phone. Oh great and wise WPC community, hear our prayers! Also, MS....get your poop together!


Edit:
Can anyone confirm that factory reset actually fixes the problem for good? I won't even entertain the option unless it's going to work.
