Windows Phone 7.8 rollout reportedly halted; Live Tiles to blame?
In late January, Microsoft began working with wireless carriers to roll out the long awaited Windows Phone 7.8 update to a number of older Windows Phone devices. Now there are reports that Microsoft has halted its rollout and it may be due to an issue with the Live Tiles feature.
As reported earlier this month, some people who received the update have since claimed the Live Tiles are not updating as they should. These issues could cause smartphones with Windows Phone 7.8 to use up their battery power faster than normal, and even to consume excessive amounts of data.
