One way to fix this Samsung account sessions expired error message is to disable cloud syncing. Here are the methods or possible solutions to get rid of the Samsung account login prompt:
This error is common for all Samsung smartphones or tablets running latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow or Android 7 Nougat operating systems. Example- Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S6 Edge, Galaxy Tab A and so on.

Android Fix: Unfortunately messaging has stopped error

While opening the default messaging or texting app on my Android smartphone, some users reported an error "unfortunately messaging has stopped" which caused the messaging app to crash every time users wanted to send an SMS or view incoming text messages. This is a common Android app bug which can be solved by applying some simple steps such as restarting your device, app clearing or installing a third party mobile messenger app. If you are one of those android users affected by the unfortunately messaging has stopped error message, here are some possible fixes:

How to fix Unfortunately messaging has stopped error on Android devices - smartphones and tablets

Method 1:  Restart device

This is the simplest method but one that is most overlooked. Sometimes simply restarting your phone can fix the messaging has stopped error. 

Method 2: Clear cache and data 

1. Go to Settings >> Apps >> All
2. From the list of app select "Messages" (or any default app you use for texting on your phone)
3. Tap "Clear cache" and "Clear Data"
4. Now restart device and open your SMS or messaging app and send a message as a test

Method 3:  Installing third party, alternative SMS/messaging app

If it is your pre-installed or default messaging app that is crashing constantly or popping up error messages, it is time to try a third party messenger app. I am currently using Textra, which is a highly customization alternative to the default Android SMS app.  Just install such app and follow the onscreen information to set it as the new default messaging app.

Method 4: Check for system updates

A lot of the times such app crashes and errors start to appear after you've update your operating system to a newer version. This means the error is caused by a bug that was left unresolved in the new update. If that is the case, your device manufacturer will release another update soon to fix any issues in the earlier release. So head to settings >> systems >> device info >> check for updates. If there is any new update, install it.

Some blogs have also suggested going to Safe Mode, but I don't see how that fixes this issue. So we will skip that extra step.

How to fix error 501 on Google Play Store during download or installation

Due to error 501 in Google Play Store Android users can�t install, download or update many apps and games on their Android phones or tablets. This problem is caused most of the time if you have multiple apps installations going on in the Play Store. In such case, cancel all the app installations and download them one by one. If you are a custom ROM user, you may get the 501 error code while updating Google Play Services. This is caused because you flashed an incompatible Gapps package or a buggy OS. In such a case, reflashing the OS + Gapps package could be the solution. In my case, the Google Play Store error code �501 popped up while installing an app update. Here are all the possible methods to fix Android error 501 in Google Play:

Android Fix: Google Play Error Code: -501

Method 1: Reinstall

Simply cancel the installation process and try installing the app or game. If that didn�t fix it, uninstall the app/game completely and download it again from Google Play Store.

Method 2: Uninstall updates for Google play Services

This method will probably solve error 501 message while updating Google Play apps like Google Play Services, Google +, Google Play Games, YouTube, Gmail and so on.

• Go to Settings >> Apps >> All
• Scroll and select �Google Play Services�
• Tap �Uninstall updates� and �clear data�
• Also,  select "Google Play Store" and tap "Uninstall updates"
• Again, go to Apps >> All >> select �Google Service framework�
• Tap �Clear Data�
• Open Google Play and download or update an app

Method 3: Resetting App preferences

Resetting app preferences will restore default settings for your apps. This won�t delete any data from your Android device.

• Go to settings >> Apps
• Press menu or the three dots on the top right
• Select �Reset app preferences� >> Tap �OK�

Method 4: For custom ROM users (Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, SlimROM etc)

First try reflashing your OS and then a compatible GAPPs package. Go to recovery and wipe cache partition. See if that solved the 501 error in Google Play. If that didn�t work, you will need to entirely wipe the device (factory reset) and then run a fresh installation. For the fresh reinstallation try a different ROM and a new Gapps package. Reboot into recovery and proceed to flash the new zip files. That will almost certainly fix the 501 error message while updating Google Play Services.

Fix it: CleanMaster failed to grant root to Autostart Manager

Looks like they have some good 'new' for us soon

Most of the users who have recently updated their CleanMaster app are getting Root Access Failed error while using the Autostart Manager feature. The Autostart Manager is supposed to save precious amount of system storage by stopping apps that start automatically in the background.  When you enable this feature you are asked to grant Superuser permission to CleanMaster but even after giving the root access a �failed to grant root� error pops up, which asks you to go to Superuser and again grant permission to CleanMaster. Basically you�re stuck in a loop every time you�re trying to use Autostart Manager.  This issue has already been acknowledged as a bug by CleanMaster, on their Google+ page, and they�ve promised some solution in the upcoming 5.9.9 update. Until then you can try some possible fixes for CleanMaster Autostart Manager  failed to grant root recommended by various forums:

• Open Google Play Store >> Search �SuperSU� >> Install Update if its available 
• Open the updated SuperSU and grant permission to CleanMaster 
• Open Google Play Store >> Search �CleanMaster� >> Install Update if its available 
• Open the updated CleanMaster >> Phone Boost >> run AutoStart Manager feature

If nothing works just wait for CleanMaster�s 5.9.9 update where they�ve promised a fix. If you're found any other solution or fix for this issue please let us know about it in the comments.

Update: I changed my custom ROM to Cyanogenmod 11 and now the App Manager seems to be working fine. This may be a ROM incompatibility issue. So, you can try flashing an updated ROM on your device.

It actually means your download or update request was forbidden by Google Server because of something called "traffic shaping�.There is no single fix for this error that will work for everyone. Some folks have solved it by doing a simple cache and data clearing and others have done the good old remove/add Google account method. Here are the best possible solution and fix for Google Play Error 403 on Android smartphone and tablets:

How to fix Error 403 in Google Play Store during app download, update & installation 

Example Error Formats:

Update for "Gmail" could not be downloaded due to an error. (403)

Installing Alternate Android Market Apps (not really a fix)

This 403 error is likely to get resolved in your next firmware or Play Store update. If you�ve tried all the methods above and have also updated your Android operating system to the latest available version, you can try alternative android marketplaces like Amazon App Store , Samsung Galaxy Apps and Mobogenie Market. You'll have to download the APK installation file from the link and then manually install it from you Android device. To allow APK installation you'll have to enable app installation from "Unknown Sources" by going to Settings >> Security >> Enable "Unknown Sources".

The 403 error is a Google Server error so you won�t get this error from alternate app stores. You can use these marketplaces side by side with your Google Play Store and then switch back to Play Store after it gets fixed. Some of these stores also great deals on paid apps and games, and you will find most of the popular daily apps on this store. I also recommend installing a anti-malware software like Avast on your smartphone and tablet to be safe from malicious apps.
