    samsung account

    session expired

    there is no samsung account registered on this phone

    when you click on it , it opens page showing my gmail address , password box empty , then a box saying to protect your account and to continue using this service you need to sign in again and confirm your password

    I do not need (?) or want a samsung account

    I have registered with the Samsung store, took a few minutes browsing it and have never used it since. I doubt its even registered on my S6.

    Just checked its reading my gmail id from the phone but not logged in, thats not even the email i signed up with originally.

    Normally create a new gmail with each new phone, B!!!, B!!! etc.

    Try...
    Settings - Cloud and Accounts - Accounts - Tap 3 dots at top - Disable Auto Sync (Toggle Off). Restart phone...
    That will turn all Accounts off.
    If you just want to disable the Samsung account...
    At Accounts - Tap on the Account name - Tap on Backup Settings - Toggle Auto Backup off...
    Failing that, try a factory reset....

    Did you try just turning auto sync off?
    It's a Samsung phone, so it will have a Samsung account somewhere.

  • I have removed , deleted correctly the samsung account , " do you wish to delete this account" YES , done

    there is no account , so what part or order or programme is looking for an account at 6am every morning and annoying me (waking me up) when it cant find one

    yes its a s6 , its supposed to be a smart phone , its crap , its about as smart as the cats bowl of milk

    WHAT programme or setting is telling it to look at doing things
