One eyewitness, who gave his name as Jonathan, told the BBC he was on the 28th floor of an office block in Jakarta when the quake struck.
"I went into the meeting room and took shelter under the table. It went on for about a minute I think - scary.
“It was like being in a boat on rough water, the building swaying from side to side. The doors were flapping, books fell off piles,” he said.
And in Bandung an eyewitness told reporters: “We were all studying and the building we were in started shaking for a few minutes and the ceiling fell.”
In Tasikmalaya, the mayor’s home and a mosque were among the properties reportedly damaged.
A woman was killed when a landslide crushed her inside her car, according to one unconfirmed report from the AFP news agency.
The US Geological Survey lowered its magnitude reading from 7.4 to 7.0 and local tsunami warnings issued soon after the quake were later withdrawn.
In December 2004, an earthquake off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia triggered a tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people around Asia.
