Hi there, and welcome to JustAnswer, I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

A restart of the phone can resolve this problem.

Can you remove the battery, and wait 5 minutes

Instructions to remove the battery are here

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00045874&fm_seq=48674

Then put the battery back in and start the phone.

Try to log into the gmail account again and if you still have the problem, please let me know.

ok, these phones have a tendency of adding a blank space at the end of a word when you switch to a new box.

So what can be happening is when you type in the Email address then go to the password XXXXX it adds a blank space at the end. The computer sees this as a new character which causes it not to recognize the email address.

The same can occur with the password.

When you switch to the next box, can you press to the very right of the email address and see where the cursor is please. Make sure it is flush against the email address to ensure there is no space.

Also please do this for the password.

Then submit this as the login.

If it still complains, please let me know.
