Apps and Live tiles

---

I personally find live tiles one of the best features of windows phone 7 and with mango 7.5 they were supposed to improve.

I thought it might be useful to have a list of apps which work with live tile updates and also where there may be some issues

on the stock apps i find the messaging, mail, calendar and call tiles work fine

the pictures tile is great now as it shows a screensaver with your favourite pictures - not sure if there is alimit to the number of pictures it shows in rotation

however i have had problems with the me tile and app in general

when i go into it the notifications do not update even though it is connected to facebook and facebook shows new notifications

regarding 3rd party apps i found the following work

beezz - displays counts of new twitter tweets
weather duck -displays temperature

those which i cant get to work at all are

twitter
facebook

has anyone else had similar problems with these apps

I never installed Facebook app because I found it redundant with People hub. Windows Live with Messenger and pretty much everything else that comes with Mango works very well for me.

I am on Mango 7220 and all my live tiles work - People hub (probably WP7's main selling point for me), phone, messaging, Me (and any people I pin to Start) Pictures shows the sliding pics from the camera roll album and defaults or favorites by choice, Calendar updates the events from pretty much everything you have going, was surprised to find Facebook event invites synchronised as well as appointments and birthdays. Overall it feels like WP7 ties everything together from every source and account.

So the solution to your problem would be Mango. Go for it, you won't regret it.

I Agree

Very simple indeed
