I have recently tried to set up my gmail account to use activesync in order to have push notifications. This seems to work, and I can get "as items arrive" set up as a Google account or as an Exchange Activesync account (different icons). However, neither of these give me the option of pinning to start, SO ANNOYING! When I long press the icon in the side menu, the only options are pin to start and add to kid's corner, both of which are greyed out and therefore cannot press. One of the main points for me of push email is to get instant notifications etc, and this just seems bizarre. I can select "as items arrive," but is there a way I can get a live tile as well?
Also, just checking so that I don't use up all my data in a week, is "as items arrive" by exchange activesync true push, or is it just syncing a lot? I really want to conserve my data as much as possible. Thanks!
PS had my ATIV S for a week and a half, I love windows phone! All my android friends comment on how nice it is.
EDIT: Tried "as items arrive" for outlook account as well, this also now has no option to pin to start. Why on earth can't I have a pushed live tile?
