Windows Phone Periodic Task Restriction

Question

Restriction of Periodic Task for Windows Phone 8

I am trying to make the app which it is using to check webservice value in the background based on the interval timer that set by user. I know the restriction of periodic task is minimal 30 minutes will run the background agent. It is giving a big problem to my app. May I ask have another way to let me check the webserivce value in interval timer instead of using periodic task?

Answer 1

There is no another way to perform a web-request in background. But an app can be configured to run under a lock screen. Also using Push Notifications can be considered.
