S4 Mini not sync apps with facebook - login failed?

[AC Question]

I've restarted my phone, deleted the app and all sorts but I'm still getting this error message about my phone needing to login back into facebook in order to link up with samsung Galaxy, I'm not sure what's going on as before it worked perfectly fine till this morning? I can't get my photo albums on my phone anymore whereas before I had my facebook albums on there, It will only sync contacts that's it! I've removed the account countless of times, removed the app from my facebook web page so I can approve it again however it keeps saying "Login Failed" but my login didn't fail as I am entering my email and password correctly. Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm experiencing the same issue (for the past week or so) with my Samsung Galaxy S4. Specifically, the Facebook app works fine and syncs with my contacts. But the "Sync Apps with Facebook" application is unable to sync my calendar or gallery. "Login Failed. Try Again."

Same problem!

I've been having the same problem for a week or so now. I have a Galaxy S4 doing this and so did my wife. Neither of it's could sync our Facebook calendars. I found a solution that worked for both of us. Open the Samsung Apps app and search for a program called SNS Provider. It should already be installed on your phone because it's the Samsung Single Sign On service. There should be an update available. Install the update and try again. The next time you try to login you shouldn't get an error. Good luck! It worked for both my wife and me.

OMG you are the Hero, had to create a Samsung Account tho, but than it update a bunch of stuff. Now it's syncing my Contacs and PHOTOS from Facebook

Thanks.. Came here to look solution for my Note 3 and this thing worked for me too.. Tks again.

I concur, Hero.

I disable all the Samsung crap as I prefer to use Goolge apps and because of this "Login Failed" when trying to authenticate against this service. Updated all the Samsung side of life including the SNS Provider.

Once update straight in via Single-Sign-On to use Facebook Sync

Cheers

I have the Galaxy S4 and have same issues, I have never had the Samsung Apps on my phone from the day I bought, my spouse got the S3 and has it. I had the Samsung Hub which was discontinued but when that ended I have no access. Phone is not rooted and never uninstalled system apps. Is there s way too get the Samsung Apps or the SNS Provider without this?

 

[Diego Jim]

this is the confirmed soution


“Facebook Sync Login Failed, Try Again."
FIXED: Solution: samsung single sign on service not updated.
Update it via samsung apps and enjoy.

Same problem. Note 3. Come to think of it. All this started after the policy update or am I wrong. Girl got s3 mini. Same problem

Thank you so much for this post. I had tried everything else. Updating the SNS is the only thing that worked. Now both mine and my husbands new devices are working again.

 

[antsunivrs1]

thank you very much!!!!

This is killing me, and no one seems to have an answer. I too have no access to Samsung or Galaxy apps (Note 3), so I don't see that there's a way to update my SNS server. I've tried everything, even a hard reset. NOTHING works to fix the single sign-on issue. I spent an hour with Samsung tech support, which is the reason I tried (unsuccessfully) a hard reset. Talk about a waste of time and energy.

Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?

Looks like samsung does not natively support facebook anymore but requires the stupid facebook app. I had to create asamsung account to update SNS provider. Then trying to add a facebook account just forwards me to google play to install the facebook app. Too bad and too stupid. So I'm giving up and doing without facebook app on my phone. When facebook inserts some sanity into their app, I may reconsider this.

Can someone post a screen shot of what the Samsung Apps app looks like? I don't appear to have it on my phone and tried searching for it in the GooglePlay store, but nothing with that name came up.

I'm having this same issue.

 

[woollers]

I'm having exactly this problem on my S5 and the "SNS provider" update fix does *NOT* work, because it appears there is no longer any such application available in the Galaxy Apps. So what next?
