Description

The following example will not fire setInterval. Works fine if you replace the TabGroup with a Window. 
	var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();
    var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
        title:'Tab 1',
        backgroundColor:'#fff'    
    });
    var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({
        icon:'KS_nav_views.png',
        title:'Tab 1',
        window:win1
    });
    var label1 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
        color:'#999',
        text:'I am Window 1',
        font:{fontSize:20,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'},
        textAlign:'center',
        width:'auto'
    });
    win1.add(label1);

    var win2 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
        title:'Tab 2',
        backgroundColor:'#fff'
    });
    var tab2 = Titanium.UI.createTab({
        icon:'KS_nav_ui.png',
        title:'Tab 2',
        window:win2
    });
    var label2 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
        color:'#999',
        text:'I am Window 2',
        font:{fontSize:20,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'},
        textAlign:'center',
        width:'auto'
    });
    win2.add(label2);

    tabGroup.addTab(tab1);
    tabGroup.addTab(tab2);
    
    setInterval(function() {
	Ti.API.info('timer fired!');
    }, 2000);

    tabGroup.open();

    Inspection around this issue reveal several cases where timers aren't working as we would like. We need to review this with iOS in 1.7.1 and potentially stop managing timers for the app except when an app is exited.
