    Hey first of all thanks for putting up such a detailed video. I had the same issue with my watch active 2. Now it has powered on but i guess still some water is there because touch is not responding so well. Also i would like to add few pointers which will be helpful for others facing similar issues.
    1. If you are victim of this because of water then i would suggest let your watch run of of battery and use hair dryer to evaporate some of the water and then keep in rice bag over night. It will help a lot.
    2. Next press both the buttons as fast as you could as shown in the video.
    3. Also try removing any trapped water by holding the watch and doing sudden jerks.
    4. Next put it charge and hold both back and power button together. This method worked for me at once.

    Fixed!
    Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 3.
    After being okay for months, including swimming, paddling, sailing, showering, etc, it has gone in rebooting loop tonight, after showering yesterday evening.
    First I have uselessly tried pressing both bottons.
    Then I repeteadly pressed just one and then the other, as shown in this videoclip, and it worked.
    Thank you.

    I got this same problem in my Samsung Gear Sport watch (bought 4yrs ago, no warranty) after swimming and pressing the buttons inside the pool. The next moment it went into rebooting loop; I wiped the watch and coved the watch inside a bag of rice (for dehrdatrion) for a week. This removed all the water drops inside the watch. After a week I charged it and, my watch is back to normal. My observation is these watches are actually not waterproof after 1 or 2 years, so water goes inside and cause this rebooting loop. Just need to remove water completely. Hope this helps someone.

    So unfortunately none of these worked for me.....BUT....i decided to just leave the rebooting Active Watch 2 on the charger and left the room.10 minutes later, it booted normally and resumed charging. Watch wasn’t flat or anything...charge showed 78% so not sure why it went into a reboot loop....no apps were installed prior as well. Strange but at least it’s back to normal. Hope this helps someone else out.

    I contracted the sequential "rebooting" problem a week ago at one of the Niagra Falls excursions and have tried these various recommendations off and on for the week with no success. I did a successful battery transplant two years ago, so thought replacing the battery again would help, but it didn't. I'll keep at it though. I have an old running watch that's been ticking away so will wear that for a while. Thanks all, for your suggestions.

    It means moisture inside the watch, even your sweat. Power off the watch, or just let the battery drains. Get some drying agent moisture absorber, put your watch inside a seal tight container with the drying agent, the longer is better. Also leave the watch in direct sunlight might help. Be patient and when you think it's ready, connect the watch to the charger, and if the watch is charging and doesn't go to boot loop, you are in good shape. When it's fully charge, power on the watch, good luck.

    For my experience I can say that it can be faulty power flex cable. I had this same issue and there was no help from opening and drying the watch. I bought a new power flex cable and problem fixed. It is over 3 years old watch.

  • @gregtaylor8310

    Miracle alert! See post just below...my watch has been in a coma for a month in that reboot mode. I tried everything over and over, including contact cleaner. I had essentially given up a few days ago and left it in a small sealed container on a bag of rice with watch back removed, sitting on a sunny window sill for four additional days..... and bought a new Galaxy 4 Classic on sale....the latest is 6. I'm happy with the 4 and learning apps. Anyway,, I planned to box up the 3 and put it to rest, but decided to snap the back on and check for a heartbeat. The new battery had died, so gave it another round of button pushes and set on the charger, and quite unexpectedly it did a real reboot and came out of coma. I haven't check all function but contacts are there, time reset to 2015 and currently recharged to 38% on the new battery, so now I have 2 smart watches. I'll be putting the back screws on and wrist band, time set, etc, but I'm a pretty happy camper at the moment. Thanks to WorldofTech and a few other related posters!

  • @bug5654
    @bug5654 3 года назад +6

    Apparently mine was lying to me about battery life (said 100% when I went to bed - normally goes 100% -> 70% overnight with fulltime heartrate monitoring - I think pairing it to my computer to see if there was any functionality there killed the battery overnight) to the point where after bootup my watchface that has battery % on it showed 100% for 2-3 seconds until it loaded the actual number after charging for about half an hour (and unpairing from the computer side before trying to turn the watch on).

    So I have had the same issue this week due to too much moisture.
    What worked for me:
    I let the watch die completely and rest out on a flat surface in a dry, cool room for two days. After it sat out I set it on the charger and it started to charge and act as it should. So far so good, I'm going to try to not let it get too sweaty or wet again.
    Hope this helps.

    My mum has an active 2. After using it yesterday while swimming, the watch went into a reboot loop. Rebooting appears and then disappears. It does this to itself all the time. I can't switch on the watch and I can't connect it to the app. I tried these methods but they didn't work. Still the rebooting text appears and disappears. What should I do?

    I have a Galaxy Watch Active 2 and more interestingly, it has been stuck on a REBOOT LOOP for 2 days now. Rebooting screen shows up and the watch shuts down and then opens back up in 10 seconds loops. It really sucks deep. I 'll never buy any other Samsung product ever in my life.

    i have the first galaxy watch and the active 2 which i used in water swimming activities in my house pool and both of them have hold the claim of being ip68. this galaxy 3 did not hold even just one swimming time after just 3 weeks of ownership. send it to Samsung care and they won't honor the warranty and want me to pay 220 for the repair.
    if you're planning to use it on water like swimming i would not recommend to buy it.
    update: received the watch from the repair center and the back cover of the watch was broken, 3 of the 4 holes that keep it on please where broken. and was hanging by the cable from the sensor attached to the main board on the case.

      Same thing happened to me after a shower. Paid $279 new for the watch and Samsung said it was water damaged and they would fix it for $220. It wasn't even a month old. When they sent it back to me it wasn't even put together correctly and when I tried to tighten the screws that seemed loose they're all stripped.

      I got the same issue because of downloading an app that may have caused the problem. This has been happening for about a year and a half, but it suddenly worked today. When I checked, the app that caused the problem wasn't there. A day later it went back to boot looping again. I'm gonna bring it to a Samsung shop soon, and you should too. Hopefully that fixes the problem

    Interesting. But what to do if it is not charging, it shows 0% and heats up very quickly. I manage to enter reboting with the keys, but I can still do nothing because the battery shows zero% and at the moment the samsung logo turns off ... due to lack of charging. and so on?

    I've been stuck in a rebooting loop for 2 weeks now and I tried this remedy. With my watch the mentioned workaround did not work. I had to hold both buttons down in order to maneuver through the menus, otherwise it would just start looping again. I was able to select reset and successfully reset the watch but when I let go of the buttons, loop. I've tried setting it in rice for a week but nothing works. Is it done?

    Didn't work for me but found leaving the watch to fully drain battery 2-3 days then charge restored to normal operation 👍

    Rebooting while placed on the charger works. And it says the battery is 0 percent. But I just full charged it before entering boothloop. And it is stock on 0 percent. Anyone with the same issue?

      Now it is charging normally. I hope it will not stock again on that boothloop. Do anyone have an idea what causes it?
