Samsung Galaxy Watch 7

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 randomly vibrating for no reason, users report. It seems to be a software glitch which has been reporting since late July. Affected Galaxy Watch owners are quite frustrated as unexplained vibrations are much annoying.

Going by the threads posted in community forums, Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra users experiencing unnecessary vibration. Even without any notification, select Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 units have been vibrating weirdly.

Phantom Vibration:

AndroidPolice highlights a study held in 2018, which found roughly 60 percent of the surveyed participants experienced PVS (phantom vibration syndrome). Unlikely, the Watch 7 and Watch Ultra vibrations are caused by a software bug.

Users explain that their smartwatch vibrates once without any screen activity. After a short break, the device again vibrates three times and then stops itself. Samsung has yet to acknowledge the issue and users anticipating a fix as soon as possible.

“I have the same problem with my Watch 7, it is driving me crazy. I’m in contact with Samsung support since 2 weeks, no progress,” wrote user mtanner876 on a Samsung community post via 9to5Google.

Affected Galaxy Watch users have also tried factory resetting which didn’t work. The problem remains unresolved, suggesting a new software fix. We urge Samsung to look into the matter and provide a fix firmware to address the problem.

Temporary fixes that could work:

You can try disabling Health Platform, Google Maps’ “mirroring” option, and WhatsApp. Disable the apps one by one to check which try resolves the issue. I guess these DIY tricks would make things a lot better until Samsung rolls a new OTA.

Wear OS 5-based One UI 6 Watch:

Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra come packed with Wear OS 5-based One UI 6 Watch. The company hasn’t opened a public rollout for older models. However, Beta participants have started getting the Stable update in select markets.
