I have never logged into my Samsung account. Everything works just fine on my phone.

Galaxy Nexus, while a Samsung device, is not compatible with Samsung Kies. Galaxy Nexus runs on native android and not Samsung enhanced version of Android, this is the possible reason why.

I think a more appropriate response is "WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO!!?!?!?"
No but seriously Kies is terrible software and you can accomplish everything Kies claims to do pretty easily on your own. All your contacts are saved to your SIM and GMail already and music is pretty easy to transfer.
KIES is the worst software ever. I can't imagine even one reason to use it.
I agree the old one really was bad but the new one that you can connect through wifi works great !!

Because all of my contacts are in my older phone memory (not SIM), and synced with Outlook. I tried to use Google contacts but this is crap. Want to sync my Nexus contacts with Outlook. Is there another way to this instead of using Kies ?

Try exporting all contacts as .csv / .vcf
then importing using Google contacts

Thanks. I will give this a try. Problem is Google keeps messing my contacts by adding email addresses I use to my contact list even when I don't want to. Then it arbitrarily decides to merge with existing contacts, giving priority to its own formatting instead of mine.
I'm so fed up with this that I'm currently doing a major clean up of this.

When creating my xda account, I watch the introductory video, had a good laugh§ I now also have the confirmation I'm a noob. I solved my problem of Google arbitrarily creating entries in my contact list : I just had to go in the parameters to prevent it doing so.
Now I still have a problem : when I want to sync my Nexus to my Google account, it seems priority is given to the Nexus contacts (empty list) instead of my up to date list in Google. When I sync my 148 contacts, 53 get deleted from Google. Trying to figure out how to set priority.
EDIT : problem solved, but I don't know how. All 148 contacts now appear in the phone. It did an update by itself. Seems that if I force sync, I lose contacts, if I do nothing, everything's OK. Go figure ....
Hello. I just switched from Sprint to AT&T and I must say I love it. The only issues I am having is my Samsung account wont sync and Svoice wont sign into twitter. The Svoice issue is most likely non fixable. The samsung sync issue is aggravating. I have removed the account and even created a new one and it still wont sync. Anyone know of a fix or anyone having this issue. Right now it happens on both my wife and mines sgs3. Thanks for any feedback.
Well based on what I found the SVoice issue is due to Twitter and SVoice no longer being compatible. The Samsung account sync issue is still a issue though. Haven't been able to find anything on it. Becoming to think its an issue with the stock rom
I know back when I used to use GoContacts, I was having sync issues because I was doing my contact adding/deleting thru GoContacts instead of the regular People app. I had a fun time backing my contacts up to a file, deleting all my contacts in my Google account from a pc, then importing from the file. Mind you I was having sync issues with only my contacts, nothing else.

yeah sometimes my emails from google are late
Yeah. This is with everything under the Samsung account. Currently I'm on an unrooted stock ROM and everything except for my Samsung account syncs just fine. But nothing under my Samsung account will sync
I'm having a hell of a time getting and answers from Samsung. Can someone running the stock firmware check and see if their Samsung account will sync. It's OK if it's a firmware issue. But I can't even get that from them.

im running stock, simplemobile carrier.. mine only syncs a few days... last sync was 3/4 2:53pm cant sync since then,.. sucks.. syncs sometimes,
I'm having a similar issue. I noticed this as soon as I updated to omega rom. I am with Bell. I am wondering if the reason for this is these custom ROMs are for S4's with a model number of i9505 but in Canada and AT&T the model number is SGH-I337? Does anyone know if the sync matches serial numbers to model numbers?
Other services such as Samsung's find my phone can see my phone even though it has a model num of i9505 now.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

This is the at&t S3 forums
Does anyone here use Samsung account to remotly lock the phone if stolen and to find the phone? How well does that work? Is there any catch, like if you root the phone, does Samsung find out?
Try Android Device Manager, but is not vinculated with the Samsung account...

I have a sync error on my samsung account after the stock kitkat upgrade.
I am in the uk but the note 8 was originally bought in the USA.
At the bottom of the 'samsung account' screen it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
It has been about 24 hours now.
Has anybody had this problem and is there a solution or will it mend itself.
Many Thanks
Same issue,
Just upgraded to kitkat on my n7100 Note 2 and I've got the same problem. I'll let you know if I find a solution.
So far factory reset has done nothing. Adding a new Samsung account didn't help either. The new account synced fine but not the old one.
I hope this doesn't mean the old account with all my data in it is somehow corrupted.
Question Gungo- If you look at your Google account, is that syncing? I've just checked and mine isn't. So it isn't just a Samsung problem. Puts my data loss fears at bay at least.
Factory reset didn't work for me either. I think Gmail is working for me but I will check when I get home.
My Samsung account is fine because it still all works on my note 2.

Happened to me a lot on my S2 but usually ended up sorting itself out. Try turning off sync in the settings and then turning it back on. Also try unchecking the app in account settings and then checking it again. May or may not work but worth a shot, I think that's what I did when this happened to me last time.
root using towelroot and download nobloat freed off the play store and get rid of verizon's dumb back up assistant plus! that's what i had to do if you don't want to root then you go onto your verizon account page and disable it then enable google to do your back ups. there is a really good tutorial for this on google.
Hey OP, any luck with our suggestions? Have you managed to resolve the issue?
No luck so far. I have been away so I haven't had much chance to try.
I have tried switching account on and off, deleting account and reinstalling, and a hard reset.
I will try and go the Samsung support route again when I get home, but they never called back last time.
By the way mine is not a Verizon device.

Finally sorted itself.
When I switched my note 8 on this morning there was something about security in the notifications. I clicked ok, then checked my Samsung account and it all synced.

Hello all!
Sorry for my noob question
I was an iphone user since iPhone 3GS.
Now I'm on a Note 10+.
So I have transfered everything from my iphone to my note, configured each app (login, mailboxes..).
But, my Note10+ is faulty, so my online retailer send me a new one, and i have to send back the defect one before wednesday.
So I've transfered everything from dead note10+ to new note10+ BUT all of my apps are empty.
I have to redo EVERYTHING ><
Is there a way, without root, to make a 1:1 save of a phone and a 1:1 restore to another phone?
Bug thanks to the one who will give me a solution
PS: sorry for my english, I'm baguette
PPS: I've used SmartSwitch for all my transferts.

Well that's what I've done! (RIP Chester)
And my Outlook and AquaMail are empty

Well that's awkward
I'm making a samsung cloud save, maybe it will help ?
Go to settings account and back up and back up using google and also back up using samsung
Well that's strange...
I've restored again, and some apps are logged (just need to click on "Are you XxX?"), some are logged and nothing to do, and the vast majority are empty.
I've done Samsung save, Google sync, used smartswitch....
Well I've relogged everything manually now, but I hope it's going to be fixed before Note 11 +
By the way, thanks for your help
