I am in the market for an upgrade to my work phone. I have been looking at the Atrix but I have never been a fan of motoblur due to some preconceived notions I have about it, which I do not know are correct.
When you first log in to the phone, it has you create a motoblur ID (no different than htc). My concern comes in that every account you create seems to store your password in your Motoblur account. Is this correct? If I configure my email through the stock "Corporate Sync" option, will it send my domain credentials and store them on Motorola's server?
Its kind of a security issue if it does in fact do that as we have a strict policy and that is just another point of possible failure.
Thanks!
no it wont store it on motorola servers , shouldnt have any security issues AFAIk i have my corp account on it now and it looks the best ive seen on any android device, native html encoding with the same view as id get on my outlook , im pretty happy with it.
No, it will keep up with all the information, DNS and such, but does not keep your corparate password. I have flashed mine several times and I always have to redo my password for my email.
Well thats a relief. Then why exactly do you have to create it under the motoblur version? Why bother signing in at all?
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

My Tab is on TW, but my brother is having the exact same issue on his Tab as you.
Has anybody ran into this problem?

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).

Nexus 4 Update, I got Lollipop with my device OTA.
I set up my Exchange account with Gmail application.
During the setup phase "Server Connection Can not Open" I get a warning.
However, the same user can set up my exchange account information to another android device.
Lollipop Before the current could use my Exchange account seamlessly.
Although I am not able to return to their factory settings repeatedly solve the problem.
Am I the only living such a problem?
You can tell where I went wrong?

Help Me :crying:
UPDATE
My brother in law somehow managed to install ransomware on his sprint galaxy s7, me not knowing about removing it with safe mode went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. WELL now i know he forgot his gmail account and now I am dealing with Samsung's Factory Reset Protection, It was Very Frustrating to me not knowing this was the issue as I was under the impression that he knew his google account. So Currently I am trying to bypass this.
Does anyone know if he takes his device into the sprint store if they can verify it is his phone and lift this?
Is the only way to get it back is to either remember the account (how he forgot boggles my mind) or to do one of the bypass methods that have yet to be patched?
How do you restore the device? Will it work if the original Gmail account is used but with a new password or will it only work with the original Username and password?
It lets him set his gmail account and password but then it does the Verification Text which does not come through?
What Exactly is required to pass the Factory Reset Protection?
How do I resolve this issue?
Thanks for reading
this worked for me

I can't believe someone on XDA would recommend another to Youtube!!. Those videos are a bunch of scammers trying to get everyone to do surveys now. Total crap.
Actually... Most of the YouTube videos DO work.. if you want to avoid surveys and etc, they have a feature called "comments".
Actually, That is CRAP. Not true at all.

Hey, how did you end up resolving this? I have the same issue on my end.
Resolved FRP
I resolved it on EBAY. Make sure the seller has 100% positive feedback. Since others are steering people to garbage on Youtube, I don't see why I can't give true answers
Hi guys, so I wanted to sell this tablet and I thought it would be easier to just Hard Reset it and then go by the usual initial configuration. The thing is, my account it's not working.
The tablet has my little girl's account and it was family linked to mine, but none of the two accounts does it.
I've tried some tutorials to bypass this but they just doesn't work, *#0#* doesn't show anything, I can't install APK's even with SmartSwitch, Configurations just random says "Stopped Working" and so on.
Did someone ever encounter something like this? I done the FRP thing once when my mom forgot her account password but it was pretty easy.
Cheers!

Sorry, but FRP is no longer "easy to bypass". If the google account is one of a family account, you might be able to use the password manager in Chrome to find the account login and password.
Yeah, I tried with both of the accounts but none works pretty weird situation
