Samsung Galaxy Watch 3: Power Off option is popping up without the button being pressed

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 08:15:56 -0700

Not sure if this is the right forum but I'll ask anyway...

I have an issue where the Power Off option is popping up constantly on ky Galaxy Watch 3 Titanium without the button being pressed, essentially rendering the watch useless.

For a time I was still using it for activity tracking because when the screen timeout kicks in, the incessant Power Off pop up isn't an issue but then I noticed a significant increase in battery drain (Eg: Using 80% within ~ 2 hours.)

I'm about to dive in & see if I can find anything out of the ordinary; I'm thinking maybe corrosion on or around the home button pusher on the midframe but if anyone knows what is the cause of this issue &/or how to fix it, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thank you.

My Galaxy 3 watch is supposed to have a waterproof seal, but when I changed my battery there was no RUBBER seal, only what seems like silicon that was soft (unless the rubber breaks down). Can you tell me if there is a rubber seal for sale or how to get the silicon or whatever it is.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3: Water proofing after repair

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 08:55:29 -0700

Dumb question on my part. I have noted in the tear down that the watch seems to be using a “rubber gasket” rather than a glue. Is it possible that water resistance will not be impacted if we open the watch to repair it?
