can't set up my samsung account

I don't know why, but I can't add my samsung account to my tab. I know I'm inputing the right things but it says invalid everytime >.<

Im dealing with the same problem, however if i go to the website itself everythingvworks fine.... Its just on the tablet settings that i cant log in.

I think many people are having the same issue. When I try to log in, it fails to reach the server. But when I do, I don't have valid account.
So I tried to create another account, but it tells me that I'm already registered. But as same as capufo, I can login via web.
It's freaking catch 22. I gave up on it.

ok thanks guys, so its not just me. Im just curious how thatll get fixed cause without a login we cant update our devices.

Same thing happened to me but honestly I just kept trying and it eventually went through.

I had similar issues when I first got mine. After a few days, I found this solution on another website, and it worked for me. Others have verified it fixed their issue:
Go to settings and manage applications.
Force stop the Samsung Account and then clear data.
Open the Samsung Apps app and it will ask you to log in again.

c-loo is so right. Follow his instructions everyone. That so fixed the issue.
But one follow up question though. Does it make sense that sync is turned off for my samsung account by default. That is how it is on mines and that is how it was on mines even before.

Did not work for me....

Here is another thread with people having the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169421

I had the same issue. I'm not sure if it will help or not, but it seems to have been fixed by changing my password on the website. Once I did that, my tab was able to verify the account and then check for updates normally.

Samsung support
Hi, the following is an email response from Samsung,
Hello
If you need to reset your password or obtain the email address you signed up with, please visit the following page:
https://account.samsungdive.com/account/find/accountFindPasswordEdit.do?serviceID=o12ht525e6
You will need to input the same information you originally used to sign up for your Samsung Account on your device.
Thank you,
Samsung Customer Support Team

i am trying to craete samsung account bt it say invalid everything

Update- Can't Sync with Samsung Account/Incorrect Password/Account already exists

Everyone who's eager for the 3.2 release tried updating their tablet using the built in option however came across various issues.
I tried signing in but kept getting the same "wrong password" error and then even tried creating a new account using a different email and was unable to.
When I called Samsung the only thing the tech advised me to do was to perform a factory reset which I'm sure everyone knows is most electronic companies "cure for all things" and I hate performing it.
I refused to go this route and stood my ground with the tech. The only resolution he provided was for a hard reset but I refused. If a website is telling me that the password is incorrect surely there must be a way to reset it!
He kept putting me on hold but finally provided me with this website which should solve any and all "wrong password" issues
http://www.samsungdive.com
If you go there and perform a password reset or create a new account the account should allow you to sync.
Once on the website click on Log In and it will provide with options to reset or create a new account!
Good luck guys and if this works for you please "thank"

I was able to use this website to fix the samsung account on my SGT. It still says "sync is off" in the account tab for my samsung account, but maybe thats by design? Either way thanks for the site

You need to exit out of that and go into apps. Hit Samsung apps and go through that apps setup process. Then you should be able to do your sync through the samsung sync sign in.

This does seems to work. I confirmed it.
I also received the same link in an email a few days ago - but I guess their website was not working, because it still failed for me. I responded to that email and **** all over Samsung's ****ty support. I guessed they somehow listenend.
Anyway - this is Working!!!!. Login to this website, reset your samsung.com account's password. It will send you an email, confirm that and change your new password. Then use these exact credentials to logon on the GT 10.1. But First, clear the cache of Samsung Apps and Samsung Account.
guys, this is NOT Samsung apps (as stated in the previous two posts!!!!!!) you need to login to, but login by creating another Samsung account under settings, accounts...., with those credentials.

Thanks, got it working. I didn't even know we had to put our Samsung account on to the tablet.

Didn't workm Screw Samsung
Alas none of these worked for me. I even closed the samsung account and started a new one and this thing did not work . Just the same ... I won't ever purchase a samsung mobile device after this... I mean i got burned with the galaxy tab 7 taking so long to get updated then it was the galaxy S phones now this... I am done..... Sorry Samsung you just lost a customer. These quirks are unacceptable esepcially seeing how much we pay for these devices.... Straight to Ebay this tablet is going. I will just hold off until sometime after Christmas... by then a better tablet by a better company that cares about its US Customers will surface. So if anyone wants to buy a 32GB Metallc Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the book case and the USB dongle. Hit me up. Samsung I am done.!!!!
Nice Tablet but crummy support and in this day and age to have such a stupid quirk with a website....

im sorry your having those issues dude, mine is running perfectly and today miraculously it took my samsung accounta nd logged me in after having made so many unsuccessful attempts.

I don't have this elusive "Samsung Apps", I'm rooted can I download it somewhere? Thanks.

My Tab's Samsung Account isn't sync'd, and I have never signed into Samsung Apps and have downloaded a few things. I didn't even know you were required to, because I never did.
I checked for updates and it says there isn't one available, but am wondering if it is working correctly or not.

I have the Samsung Apps app and it works, but under accounts it shows that Samsung account is not syncing and no option to enable sync. I went to Samsungdive.com and I was able to log into my account there. There are no settings in the samsung apps app.
So what is the deal with samsung sync? Are you instructions for getting that working? I am a bit confused. Thanks

So should this Samsung account thing be syncing? Mine isn't and i even tried the factory reset, still says "Sync is OFF" Anyone got any help.

I recently changed my password for my samsung account now i cant even connect to samsung account keep getting wrong password very very frustrating!

I tried going to samsungdive, it won't even recognize my samsung account. i cant make a new one with any of the 3 emails I have, I cant sign in with any of them either, only on samsung.com
I tried recovering a password and it even says my email doesn't exist in their system....garbage. then I try to make a new account and it says to enter a valid email.... what the phuckkkkkkkkkkkk

I really don't understand this samsung account sync, I created an account when I first started tab, able to login to samsungdive.com but my tab shows that it is not syncing in the accounts/sync options.
Every few times at startup I get a FC with the samsung account.
WTF

This sucks.
I'm guessing what I'm about to detail is the same as everyone else:
1: On first boot of my pre-touchwiz GT10.1, I created some sort of Samsung account.
2: Every boot since then prompted me with two force close messages, both being some sort of Samsung process, blah, blah, blah.
3: Today, I get the touchwiz update, it installs.
4: I can log into Samsung Dive website with my established Samsung account no problem, and it knows I have a GT10.1. But it can't do anything with it, saying I have to enable Google Location Services, and Remote Control.
5. I go into settings on the GT10.1, Google Location Services is already enabled, Remote Control is not. I attempt to enable it, but get a prompt for a password with a blank ID. It will not take my KNOWN Samsung Account password. I can't delete it and create a new one without doing a factory reset.
Is there a solution to this pile of horsecrap yet??

I also can't login when attempting to update. I don't have an account specifically on my GT for samsung, but did register on line when I purchased it. Is this a common problem? Perhaps we were supposed to create the samsung account using the accounts option in settings.
BTW, my error is incorrect password even though I can login to the website. I can see my registration info

I have similar problem; I set up and registered my 10.1 and can access it at Samsung.com "My Account". I was told to set up recovery etc at samsungdive.com and could not sign in and was told that I had to create a new account there using a different email (Dumb), I did and can sign in but can't do anything else? I am waiting for an answer from tech via email. Even on the samsungdive page it says one account works for all?
Also on 10.1 under Settings:Location & security:find my mobile;remote controls if I check that box it has my correct account email but won't accept my password? This was when I first called tech and they told me to use samsung dive. Somewhere Samsung doesn't have their act together.

(oops, redundant info).

Just got back from NYC event with my new TW, I like it!

Walk up, give them your name and you get a ticket and they take your tab. Got a free t-shirt as well (woot). They said fifteen minutes and it will be by the bar where a woman was cleaning the tabs that got updated.
Started it up and had to go through all the setup again.
I am loving TW so far, so for me it was great to get this done.
Had a problem logging into the same samsung account I created when I first got the tab, nobody there could help me. Someone else was there having the same problem and they said they had to create a new account using a different email address. Which is a bummer, I can log into the samsung.com account with the same UN and PW but on my Tab I cannot log into the existing account, says wrong password but I know it is correct.
Now I need to set it all up again but so far I like it. Oh and browser text input and drop downs are much better so far.

Android 3.1 in the about section.
As for pulling the update I don't know how to do this. I never rooted so I have to do it and I would like to wait to see if someone does the locked bootloader root instructions on this new update.

Whats the build? Is it the same as whats already been released on xda?

I have this issue & it drove me crazy. I gave up after a few attempts. It's retarded that you have to create a new account with a different email address.

Is there a Print option in the browser, email, contacts, and gallery app now? Mobile Printing was listed as a feature with the update.

someone posted that TW has performance improvements?

I just did this and it worked as well. Funny thing is that I could sign into samsung.com but I could not sign into samsungdive.com. So reset PW on samsungdive.com and loged in and it worked. Then added samsung account with that email and PW and it worked. But it still shows that the samsung account is NOT syncing, just like it did before the TW update.
I reset my tab because when I first started it up at the even I was on my Evo 3g network and it was about to restore a ton of apps from gmarket so I stopped it. But since I stopped it for some reason my gmarket was NOT showing all of my apps. I tried deleting my google account and re-adding it but it did not give me the option to restore. After a reset I was able to do this and now have all my apps and see them in the market.

Does this update lock the bootloader?

S7 Edge asking for verify your account

Hello, i have a samsung SM-G935FD which after flashing asks for sign in to google account that was previously synced on the device. I dont know the gmail ID....how to solve this problem?

Ask whoever you got the phone from. It needs their Google ID.

The person who gave me the phone doesnt know the gmail ID either.....is there any way to bypass it?

nope, theres no way, and is not a problem, is a security feature to prevent the use of stolen phones mainly, and just ask for the last acc sync with the phone wich the one who give u should have, if not, probably thas one of them

Samsung Galaxy S8 instagram updates not recieving

Hi i've got a problem. Instagram has got new updates with question sticker mention sticker igtv etc and i don't have any of these updates on my personal account. I have a samsung galaxy s8. The thing is when i add a different account from the same phone, thst account has all igtv and stickers updates. Why is that? Btw i forgot to mention that i am from Romania

Hi, I've got the same issue, Instagram update the app throught the play store and give us access to new features throught the account in instragam app, in my case, I think my personal account (and yours), kept outdated in their database or something like that.
I tried a lot of things, to find a solution, but I couldn't.
There isn't a phone problem, if u create a new Instagram account, you'll get all the new features.
If someone find a solution, tell me pls.
Cheers.
