I feel I have been conneed wiith my Galaxy 4 watch - again I fell this week and ended up grazed and sore but NEVER does Fall Detection work. Yes, I have it set to High Sensitivity and have taken it to be checked by Samsung. This is probably my 5th heavy fall since I got the watch never an alarm or false alarm even! False advertising?
Has anyone got a solution to this problem? I contacted Samsung support and was bounced around several times with no solution. Neither SOS or Fall Detection are working
Hi, my case is the opposite (better situation): it did send a false alarm to all my friends this morning. It seems the watch detected a fall when I took it off to take my morning shower. I did hear it ringing for maybe 30 second with a sound I had not heard before, then another more alarming ringing for another 30 sec maybe. But I need more than a minute to take a shower. It just stopped by itself before I was out and I did not pay attention until a friend started to slam at my door....
Thanks for reaching out. I suggest sending an error report within 2-3 minutes of the issue occurring for this to be investigated by our research and development team.

My watch4 falsely alerted me while I was in bed and then 5 or 6 times while I was seated in a quiet music performance. Luckily I caught it quickly but I turned the feature off.
The Contact Us feature is garbage too. It sends me to Settings for Location access... Which is already enabled. No way to bypass this loop.

I repeatedly get false notifications, usually triggered by a loud, deep sound from amplified mics, like at a concert, sports event, etc. However, a few weeks ago I did actually fall, quite hard, and there was no fall detected. Usually I just click the "I didn't fall" option, but last night at a sporting event I realized the SOS feature was activated, my people were being notified, and luckily I was able to answer the call I received and let them know I was fine. It is too bad emergency services are being troubled with these false notifications. This routine is very annoying, to say the least, and I can only surmise that the Samsung fall detection system is no good. Anybody know a system that actually works. BTW I went to the Error Reports in the Wearable app and it says I need to allow permissions to make a report, but doesn't say which permission. All of them?
