Some users of Samsung Galaxy Watch7 smartwatches report on different forums how their devices perform an action, which at first might be normal when receiving a notification or a call, but without this happening. That’s to say, the device vibrates for no apparent reasonsomething that can be really annoying, especially when sleeping.
We could talk about the call Phantom vibration syndromesomething that, according to a study carried out in 2018, almost 60% of participants have experienced at some point, although this time there are too many users experiencing it for it to be the reason.
Meaningless vibrations
What users explain is that the Samsung smart watch follows a sort of progression with the problemsince many comments coincide according to a pattern. It seems to vibrate once with no activity on the screen, then after a while, do it three times in a row, then stops.
This error has already been the subject of comments since July, although it seems that lately more people are affected. Samsung has not yet commented on this issuesomething that many users expect so as not to continue experiencing vibrations that make no sense.
Temporary solutions that can help
Many people concerned chose reset the watch to factory settings, something that didn’t work
Some solutions have worked for different users, so if you are one of those affected, we invite you to try them, although we cannot guarantee that they will be effective.
- Health Platform: Some users have seen the vibrations disappear when turning off this platform.
- Google Maps: Others have solved it by disabling the Google Maps mirroring option.
- WhatsApp: WhatsApp may be the cause. There are those who deactivated the application and no longer had vibrations.
The problem is that These solutions did not work for everyone. who wear a Samsung Galaxy Watch7 and experience vibrations when not gaming, so they cannot be considered definitive either.
We will have to wait until Samsung releases some type of patch to resolve the issue.
