My live tiles have stayed the same for about a week. Don't know what to do. I have restarted the phone but nothing changes. What can it be??

This happen to me 2 weeks ago. Live tiles stopped updating for no reason. I have thread on here relating to this. I uninstalled and reinstalled all my apps and this appeared to work but last night the live tiles stop working again. This is very frustrating. The live tiles is one of the killer features of windows phone and it doesn't work.I guess Windows Phone is not ready for prime time. The "trump" feature doesn't work, so why bother?
I too am not completely happy with the Live Tiles performance either. After a year of having the Quantum I finally did a reset because a month ago they stopped working one by one. But I wouldn't completely blame the OS or MS because one app I use called Hockey Tracker would stop updating scores and the dev almost always said his hosting service was at fault.
So crimson-what do you mean by "why bother"? Think I'm going to give it up and go to ios or droid? Not a f'g chance!

I wonder if Jay or someone from WP Central can shed any light on why the WP Central tile, despite being a great app, never (for me, anyway) updates? It will only refresh once I have opened the app and updated the news feed.
As it stands, the live tile merely shows me the last story I have already seen....
Check your background tasks and see if it has been disabled. If it has just toggle the live the tile option in the program off and back on and you should be good to go.
The recent article about Weather apps inspired me to install several of the apps, to do a side by side comparison. I then quickly became reminded that Live Tiles aren't updating for me. The WPCentral live tile isn't working either. When I first downloaded WPCentral (the paid version) in December 2011, it did work for, then the live tile stopped updating, I recall uninstalling and reinstalling, and that fixed the live tile for a little but it broke again, and I then gave up.
I've found a number of posts on this site and on other sites referring to Live Tiles not working for people. For me, the "system" tiles, like email, phone, test messages, etc. work fine. But right now, I don't think a single 3rd party app's live tile works for me - and this is something I've seen others report.
Pulling together the question/suggestions I've seen here and in other posts:
- I have a Titan with the 7720 build - phone purchased end of November 2011
- yes my data connection is on
- yes, background tasks are enabled for the individual apps in question
- I did try doing a full shutdown & restart - didn't help
- these apps were all installed over the weekend (so the 2 week auto-disable doesnt come into play)
- I've had battery saver turned on (only when battery is low), so just to see what happens, I've disable that (but I don't see this as a sustainable solution).
- I've tried a battery pull - no luck
- I've tried pinning & unpinning apps - no luck
- I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling apps - no luck
I am not interested in resetting my phone - that is not an acceptable answer, as I don't want to "rebuild" my phone. This has to be fixable without needing to do this. Plus, even if resetting my phone did fix the problem, how do I know that I won't run into the issue again in another few weeks?
I also don't want to hack/unlock/sideload (see above).
My questions:
- Has anyone found a real solution to this issue?
- Has anyone contacted Microsoft about this issue?
- If I wanted to report this issue to Microsoft & see if they have a fix for this, how would I go about doing this?
thanks!
