S8+ Moisture Is Detected Error Appears When Battery Is Drained
Problem: This issue only happens when the battery is totally dead or below 2% charge. When I plug in the charger I get an icon indication there is water in the charging port. The phone has never got wet and it only happens when the battery is basically dead. When charging at any other time with battery above ~5%, it’s just fine. To get past this I have to power off, then on and let it sit at the decryption prompt until the charge gets to around 5%, then I can complete the power on with no issues. Any thoughts ?? Thank-you.
Solution: The first thing that you should do in this particular case is to eliminate the charger as a possible cause to this problem. Clean the charging port of your phone using a can of compressed air then try using a different charging cord and wall charger to charge your phone. If possible use a Samsung branded cord and charger.
In case the issue persists then the next step is to check if a software glitch is the culprit. To do this you need to backup your phone data then do a factory reset. Once the reset is complete do not install any apps in your phone yet. Try checking first if the issue still occurs. If it does then I recommend that you bring your phone to a service center and have it checked.

Solution: Just to be sure what you should do first is to make sure that no moisture is present in the port by using a vacuum to remove any presence of moisture in it. Some people also use their hair dryer to remove the moisture. Once this is done try charging your phone again. In case you still get the same error message then you should try to check if this is caused by a software glitch. To do this you will need to backup your phone data then do a factory reset. Once the reset is complete don’t install any app in your phone but instead try check first if the issue still occurs.
If the above steps fails to fix the problem then you will have to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked.

S8+ Not Charging With Wall Charger Only With USB
Problem: S8+ – randomly won’t charge via wall socket … only works via usb … Have tried reset (home and down button ) no better Tried with phone off no better .. Am I correct thinking this is software based issue? How can I resolve without returning phone
