JAKARTA - Galaxy Watch 7 users report vibration problems without notifications, which appear randomly and for no apparent reason. These vibrations often occur without any display or notification on the screen, which makes many users feel disturbed.

The Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra are the latest devices from Samsung designed with very sophisticated capabilities. The number of applications compatible with the seventh generation watch certainly adds to the possibility of devices experiencing technical problems, given its complexity.

In the official Samsung forum, some users report this vibration problem without notifications occurring regularly. There are a number of causes that may be triggering, including features on the Samsung Health Platform application that move fitness data between platforms. Some users say they have succeeded in overcoming this problem by disabling the feature.

In addition, the Google Maps application is also touted as a trigger for this 'phantom' vibration. Deactivating the "mirroring" option in the Google Maps app is reportedly helping reduce the vibration frequency. Even the popular messaging application, WhatsApp, is also suspected to be the cause, although deleting and reinstalling the app has not always succeeded in eliminating this problem.

This causeless vibration problem doesn't seem to be caused by just one app. Given the many applications that could trigger this problem, Samsung may need to consider adding a more detailed notification setting on the Galaxy Watch.

A similar feature on Android allows users to mute certain notification categories in an application, which may help address this 'phantom' vibration problem.
