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).

I have this weird error on my stock P6800. When doing a sync with my google account, I get a Google sign-in error and need to enter my password. My password is not accepted, although in my I9100 it works fine.
Even with this google sign-in error, I am still getting my contacts, gmail, drive, calendar and g+ correctly synced ..... it's that annoying little triangle error that bugs me.
Tried to uncheck items to sync but still getting that error. Anybody else having this before I wipe everything to factory?
Same thing happened since yesterday. It started just after updating the new G+ apps. I thought it was due to my fiddling with 2-step authentication setup, but nope, that wasn't it. Tried reset/reinstall everything. Also tried changing new password. Same thing happened again after installing with the new G+.
I just turned off background sync for G+ (and leave other google apps as-is), and it seems did the trick to stop the error popping up. This is not exactly an answer, but simply a temporary workaround until google comes up with update to fix.
(This problem is not limited to any particular brand of android phone or tablet. Do a google search on "google sign-in error" and you may find many incident mushrooming in past day or so.)
I tried turning off sync, one item at a time. Still having that sign-in error. This is definitely affecting not all since my stock I9100 with the very same account and sets of google apps does not give the sign-in error.
Same problem here too and Problem started yesterday night here in KL. I'm using an HTC Incredible S btw.
It's getting really annoying now so hopefully Google will get it fixed ASAP.
Same here since yesterday.

+1 ....and I'm just ignoring it; but it is a nuisance having to clear the notification. Happened about 3 or 4 times in last 2 days.

I'm having the same. Had a few updates from Google and after that it started. Except from the notification still works so am ignoring it.
I think it's Firefox Sync problem
I think the problem is with the new Firefox Sync
he he I do not have Firefox on my Lenovo K800 but I still have the problem
Same here, since last night. Constant authentication errors; I can login fine from my computer and from other computers with the same password as always, and everything seems to sync fine - I still get e-mail, Reader works, G+ works...
Just ignoring it for now.

Solution
I found it's a Google+ sync error. Just deactivate Google+ sync on settings and it will be OK again.
Made a lot of tests, until I found the right way.
I tried with two separate accounts and it gave me the error with all of them. So just deactivating Google+ sync made the error dissapears.
Same for me. I just uninstalled Google+ and reinstalled it, and sync is now possible without error.
Google fixed this error
This seems to be fixed before the Google+ update last saturday. Glad we didn't factory reset
Same thing happened to me. I thought my account was hacked so ichanged the password but the error still persisted so i just let it be, after some updates with Google+ the error is now gone.
With the last revision, I have no sync error, but I can't open Google+, because as soon as I select the account, it tries to connect but gives an error "Without conection", and then a forzed close window. So I've got not sync error at this moment, but can't use Google+ too :crying:
This issue just started up again and I do not have google+ or firefox installed. Any solution that actually works?

Hi
I am using RedMI note (3G). Suddenly from today morning, the gmail, playstore, google photos apps aren't coming up. When I tried clicking these apps in my mobile, they try to open and close abruptly without showing any message for the abrupt closure. I tried restarting my phone, cleaning up the cache, removing the external memory card, etc. But nothing solved this. Can you please help me to know what could have went wrong only with these apps?
Thanks
Balaji Babu
where can i add/remove my google account in redmi note
I further checked to see if i can logout/remove the google account for which i signed in and then rejoin again. I am not able to see the google accounts option under settings or settings/accounts.. can somebody please point out where can i go and signout and signin with my google account again?
Thanks
Balaji Babu
Hello there,
I bought a used Zuk Z1 and I am faced with this message "Sign in with a Google account that was previously synced on this device"
Of course I cannot get the previous owners email, and when I try with my email, it just rejects the input.
I have wiped and reset the phone but to no avail.
Have followed two youtube guides on solving the gmail account issue, but both failed to allow me access to the phone.
Downloaded all the tools I could find, but I cannot control the phone from my PC, as I cannot access the settings in order to allow the USB debugging option. However my PC sees the sd card of the phone
Excluding the fact that the phone seems to react normal, I cannot use it as it remains in the 3rd screen where it asks for the gmail account that has benn previously synced with...
Any ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks
I just bought an P10 Lite and cant access it. When i enter my email it keeps going back to the bypass Google Verify Account. I tried many off the guides on youtube, it wont open google crome so i can perform the requsted steps in the guides, but it just keeps turning back to the Verify your Google Account screen Dont not what to do anymore
Never Mind, found the solution After 2 days
