Default [Q] Live Tiles?

Is it just me or do the live tiles never really work?
The hub never really seemed to update and now with the newest version it does nothing. Other weather programs don't work. I have researched it a bit but who wants to hard reset every time a standard feature doesn't work??
Love the phone & OS but just a little disappointed on the live tiles.

The tiles work fine for me. Are you talking about the core tiles or 3rd party application tiles?

The only "stock" one that doesn't work is the HTC hub. The mail and message counts work great. So I guess it is only stuff from the market that doesn't seem to work, weather and stuff like that. And why isn't there a great simple, double space clock so I don't have to squint to see the time?..

The HTC Hub works for me...make sure you have some data connection, and you can try to set it so that it updates more frequently. All the live tiles work fine for me. I just wish more applications took advantage of the live tile system.

The only tile I've had an issue with was the Facebook one that wouldn't clear notifications after I acknowledged them. I use the Weather Channel live tile a lot which never has given me trouble and my stock tiles work as they should.

Yeah it's just it seems inconsistent. My HTC hub started working after days of nothing. The WPcentral live tile all the sudden came ‘live’ after a couple weeks.
I always have great 3G data and plenty of 15mb wifi...
Don't get me wrong - I love it but just wish it was more reliable
