I have my HD2 flashed with WP7 rom and i very happy with it...

After installing more apps withlive tiles i start to have probs with live tiles not working or updating..

I start digging the web for possible solution and i ended up at this site
http://mobilitydigest.com/the-live-...m_campaign=Feed:+FuzeMobility+(Fuze+Mobility)

This article was a relevation to me...
I learn a lot about the live tiles and that developers with bad apps can be the cose of the this problem...

So the short story :

If you have problem with live tiles then open the registry and check those 2 keys
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\ManagedEndpoints

Probably the Endpoint key has more that 20 entrys and the ManagedEndpoints arround 10 keys..

What i did to solve my live tile prob
1. I did disable the live update in all my apps.
2. I Delete all the keys in the Endpoints keys ans reboot my phone.
3. After that i start all the live till apps and re-enable the live tile ...

After 10 min boom!!!!!!!!! all my live tiles where working again...

I know that a lot of ppl have probs with live tiles so if anyone try this please report back your findings
Thanks again Jim Szymanski from Mobility Digest for this usefull info

Update
Seems that if you delete the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints its faster (than deleting one by one all the entrys)
and does the same job.

I was having probs with most of the non MS live tiles sinse i did install and remove a lot of apps...
For example Beezz and tweetmo are 2 apps with probs...

Now after trying this all are OK...
I did some search the net and seems that its a problem with a lot of WP7 users...

no problems here

i guess its just an issue with ported wp7 on hd2. i have sideloaded a lot of 3rd party live tiles and all seem to behave well, before and after nodo update. but i will keep this thread in mind just in case my start screen screws up later. good find and thanks for sharing.

p/s: my friend is using wp7 on hd2 and his livetiles (even the default contacts) does not update and soemtimes seemed like it crashed

I used this to fix the live tile problem on my Samsung Focus. It worked great.

None of my non-Microsoft live tiles were working at the time.

Found the Mobility Digest article few weeks ago, and have been regularly using it. Works brilliant and sorts out the problem.

One thing that helps "kick-start" the live tiles (after doing like first post says) is to start the app, and do something with (i.e. if its a chat client, send & recieve a message... If its Send to WP7, send yourself a link, etc)... once this is done, it should be ready to push things again.

What 3rd party apps have live tiles? None of the apps I installed seem to have live tiles (htc youtube, facebook, xda app etc). Standard live tiles like People & Zune work perfect on my HD2.

Here is a big list of WP7 live tile apps
http://wmpoweruser.com/a-long-big-of-windows-phone-7-live-tile-apps/

so in order to fix live tiles i need to make some changes in registry ?
cause i wrote nothing about editing it
and how u disabled all updates in apps ?
sorry for that but im new in whole registry editing stuff

Yes to fix this you need to make some changes to the registry with a registry editor...
To disable the live time from apps you go in every app that has live tile and disable the functionanily from apps settings...

Hi m8
You must delete all the entrys in the Endpoints branch....NOT the ManagedEndpoints

Then you must reboot the phone and wait for a while ...
Also there is a version of HTC hub (1.5) that i use and works fine...
If you can install xaps's (sideloading) then i will post it tomorow from my office

thanks again for the instructions. I coudn't tell whether live tiles were working or not. I deleted the entries in the endpoints anyway and rebooted (there were about 15 of them). curious about the htc hub you got though. you think that will work on an LG? the one I side-loaded is v 1.0.

btw, reading the original article carefully, it doesn't matter whether you delete the keys under ManagedEndpoints. The author in fact went so far and deleted both keys Endpoints & ManagedEndpoints and rebooted. they are being recreated by apps with live tiles. But deleting keys under Endpoints alone is sufficient as colossus_r points out.

thanks again for making us aware of this 'bug'

Possible solution for all except DVP

Would love to use this fix on my Dell Venue Pro except there is no registry editor capable of deleting these registry keys. I have a total of 25 endpoint entries, one managed endpoint entry, and as a result one functional live tile. Uninstalling and reinstalling applications has no effect on the problem or the entries. :(

    Unfortunately, the registry editor can only modify keys on the Samsung Focus, not delete them. The creator of the registry editor said that an update (or a Samsung Focus version) would be coming soon... a month and a half ago. Sadly, I don't think it's been released yet.

    As an update to the original post in the thread, this is what you can do to get/keep your live tiles working. For each key ManagedEndpoints key (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\ManagedEndpoints) there should be one Endpoints key (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints). Problem is, after soft resets and for other unexplained reasons, push/live tile apps disconnect reconnect, additional Endpoints keys. When your Endpoints grows too large (estimated 22 to 30 keys), apps will stop registering so live tiles will start to fail.

    So every once in a while do this.
    1.) Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\ManagedEndpoints and open each key. Open the sub-key under the key and you will find an entry for Cookie. Record the first string of characters, like: C540F8BB or E3EBB287, etc.
    2.) Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints and match each key to one of the cookie references recorded above. Everything else needs to be deleted as they are extra, leftovers that were not properly deleted.

    If you accidentially delete the wrong Endpoint, no worries as it will be recreated the next time you open the push/live tile app. But ideally, you should always have an equal number of ManagedEndpoints and Endpoints, 1 for 1. It looks like Microsoft has finally (quietly) acknowledged this as a problem and a correction (hopefully) will be coming with Mango. See the comment below from a Microsoft employee posted in the Microsoft App Developer Forum a few days ago:

    Hi,
    I searched our internal issues database. There was a problem where endpoint information was being persisted in the phone's internal registry even after Tile and Toast are unbound and the service is restarted or the phone is rebooted; which might explain the channel open failures described in this discussion. This appears to be fixed now. Hopefully this problem will resolve itself as phones get updated with newer OS images in the future.
    - Mark

    Let's hope so.
