How To Get Rid Of Moisture Detected Message On Samsung Phone?
1. Check your USB charging port for any moisture
The main cause of this issue is the moisture around the USB charging port. Please check for any moisture around the charging port.
Not just the water, humid atmosphere, and sweating can also cause moisture. If you can feel some moisture then there are different ways to dry it.
- Use a soft dry cloth or tissue paper, and gently clean your USB charging port.
- If you have a hair dryer then use it to dry the moisture.
- If you don’t have the hair dryer then put your phone under the fan, or outside under the shadow to dry it.
2. Check for the software update
If you start getting the issue after the recent software update then there may be any bug in the recent update which is causing the issue.
In these cases developers provide fixes with new software updates, so check your phone for any pending software update.
- Go to your phone settings.
- Go to “about” or “general”.
- Choose Software update.
- Choose “check for updates”, and see if there is any pending update.
- If your phone is showing any updates, then consider updating it.
- Once your phone finishes updating, try charging your phone and check if it fixes the issue.
3. Check your phone charging cable
Check if there is any moisture on your charging cable, or it’s also possible that it may get damaged.
So if you have another charging cable then please try charging your phone with a different cable. If your phone is successfully charging with the new cable then you know the culprit which is causing the issue.
