Hi guys,
Hope you like the link bait title for this one. I was having an issue where the app store was no longer telling me when apps were ready for updating. It had been 2 weeks without a whisper from my phone. So I began looking through the forums, sadly at the time there was no solution that worked, and I was having to manually search for and then update each one. The WPCentral app helped when the big apps were updating, but they were missing the odd update too. Which is fair enough, the store is spilling with content at the moment, who can keep up?
A simple solution appeared on this support thread on the weekend.
Windows Phone 8 store not showing app updates on live tile - Microsoft Community
Basically, choose your Hotmail/outlook account attached to your store. Then change the "Frequency of Updates", I had mine set at every 30 minutes, I dropped it to 15. Then, turn your phone off and on (No soft reset required).
Brilliant!
Hopefully the Windows Phone team fix this with the next version, but this is by far the easiest solution I have read and it worked fine for me. Can anyone else verify?
