Samsung Account - Session Expired

[trucky]

Anyone else getting this on your Samsung Account? "Session expired". I even went through the process and changed my password. It will act like it's connecting then stop with "Processing Failed". Everything else data is working fine.

I did get the Samsung Account Update OTA yesterday, before the session failures began. I dug through the old threads and didn't see any universal resolve. A few people say that deleting and then redoing the Samsung account fixed it.

yeah i cant remember reading a solution but there must be one or people would still be talking about it.
think all i had to do was sign into the More Services app..

I don't think US carriers are using More Services... and it is kind of stinky for Samsung to push out an "update" that breaks things. Almost like the LI4 that brought us all the nice bloatware.

yeah the samsung account update was apparently to fix a problem with THEIR servers....

what killed me was when they pushed out an update in the US for "minor performance improvement" or something but forgot to mention it also removes local search lol

looks like this hit the US now, I've started getting these messages about a week ago. Interestingly, this happened about the same time my phone decided to update several apps that i'd been holding off on updating since reviewers for each had experienced several problems with latest versions, yikes! what ever happened to 'user acceptance'? ... you will upgrade and you will like it!
