Moisture detected in charging port!

[EmmaLouiseH]

I've had nothing but issues with charging my S21 Ultra 5G! I've had the phone since February and initially had no problems at all. Since March my phone is constantly coming up with the warning message of moisture detected in charging port! My phone has not been exposed to moisture and I have cleaned out the charging port and even the charger end. I've followed all the steps advised on the warning message and still had no luck! My phone can be charging (when the warning message has finally cleared) and all of a sudden start with the warning noise saying moisture has been detected. If the message does not display whilst my device is charging the minute I unplug my device the message appears! I've also turned the device off and back on to see if the message clears but it doesn't! I've never had any previous problems with any of the galaxy range but this is putting me off future Samsung devices!

I didn't have a software update yesterday. I clicked onto the top 'download and install' and there was a software update available, after i installed that the message disappeared.

I am having the same issue with my Galaxy S21 plus. Ever since my last system update, the phone shows the moisture message whenever I plug it in the charger. It has now been 6 days of the same message and there is clearly no moisture in the phone. I have had to charge the phone wirelessly; which takes 9 hours to fully charge!

Are there any legitimate 'updates' or 'fixes' for this?

Looks like there isn't. Absolute joke. You pay over  1k for a phone and can't use it. Samsung should be ashamed of themselves.

Exactly the same issue here. This has only started happening to me in the past few days and my phone hasn't been anywhere near any water. It seems to not happen every single time, but for me the biggest frustration is that I can't use Android Auto, because my car doesn't support this over wireless and every time I plug in the USB cable I get this warning.

Yup, exactly the same problem here since the last software update. 
If more people talk about this issue, maybe Samsung will be forced to do something about it. 
Its a shame you buy such an expensive phone and can not charge it and are forced to use wireless charging and get used to be on the run with 15-45% battery all the time if not charged at night.

 I have the same issue and it's driving me mad! Has anyone found any solution as yet please?

I've had the same issue for the last few weeks since a software update. After clearing usb setting data I was then able to charge but then it has started again after a recent update. So frustrating as samsung live chat only keep giving the same advice which does not resolve the issue.
