Why Is My Samsung Phone Constantly Telling Me To Detect Moisture?

My Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone keeps displaying a message telling me that it detected moisture and issued an annoying alarm. As far as I know, it has not been exposed to water and has been working for several years so far. It also refused to charge, and I didn't receive the news after three days. What do I miss here? —Illian, Bedfordshire

This is a very common complaint. Samsung has built this moisture detection feature into your phone to protect your phone from corrosion damage caused by plugging the charger into a wet charging port. Trying to plug in the charger triggers an alarm, so it's best to avoid doing this before the port goes dry.

Samsung recommends shaking the phone gently (face up) to prevent residual water from falling out and predicting that water should evaporate naturally within one to two hours.

Closing the earpiece and placing it in a warm, dry place (rather than a hot place), such as a ventilated cabinet, can also help dry excess.

Even if you are absolutely certain that the earpiece is not soaked in water, it is worthwhile to turn off the phone, level the swab, and poke it into ...
... the port to remove any dust, dirt, etc. that may be present.

Regarding the charging problem, if you happen to have a wireless charger, you can use it to charge your phone when it shows a moisture detection message, because it does not need to be connected through the port.
