Microsoft rolling out secondary Windows Phone 7.8 update (build 8862), set to fix Live Tile issue

It was only yesterday when we reported that Microsoft released an update for Windows Phone 7.8 hardware, which was believed to address the Live Tile issues consumers have been experiencing. Unfortunately this turned out to not be the case, but the company has begun rolling out another build that's confirmed to do just that.

7.10.8862.144 is the latest version, which (according to the Windows Phone website) fixes bugs many have experienced since updating to Windows Phone 7.8. We've received reports that consumers are already receiving the follow-up release. Second time lucky, folks? Let us know if you've received the update and believe the Live Tile issues are no more.

Thanks to everyone who tipped us!
