Moisture bug on Pie? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

After I updated to Android pie, I hat the moisture in USB port warning twice in a week.
The phone never gets near water, because I think that water is always bad for a phone, even if it has a "waterproof" certificate.
So did anyone else got this bug after the android 9 update?
Phone is on newest fw, G950F

People have been having this issue since the start. Try cleaning out the port with a sewing needle. Maybe try a reinstall of the update.

Thanks, there was some dust and I think that caused the problem. I had dust in before but never faced this issue.

Had this issue on nougat and Oreo too, disappeared after flashing custom ROM

Got this on the weekend, yes I was in the bath with my phone but nothing new there that I've done over the last 15 months with the phone. I did clear USB settings and restarted and it went away for a couple of days. Then charged my phone with cable (usually wireless charge) and all is ok. I take out cable and message appears. Now 2 days later still have moisture message! Updated to pie today thinking it might go away but no luck. I've minimised the notification and removed it from lock screen but doesn't help now that I can't connect phone to laptop to transfer files.

So managed to get a little dust out, restarted phone, notification gone. Plug in charger for 5 seconds, all ok, remove and then plug back in, all ok. Left it to charge 30mins removed cable, up pops moisture notification, are you kidding me! The phone was nowhere near water and it wasn't humid in my house. This has got to be a hardware/software bug. Owned the phone 18 months and never had this before.

Samsung Focus (Rogers) - Post NoDo; screen stays lit

Around 24 hours after upgrading my Samsung Focus (on Rogers) to Nodo, the phone started having a weird notification bug... I think it may be a hardware issue unrelated to NoDo but thought I'd post here in case any one else is seeing this or in case anyone has ideas on how to test/fix it.
Effectively the screen won't stay off and the phone keeps making a notification sound. If you push the screen off button within a second or two it re-lights and makes a "de-de-de" sound (and keeps repeating that sound randomly - anywhere from every half second to every few seconds...). This sound is exactly the same sound as when you plug the phone into the charger. I think the phone must somehow be triggering a charger notification for some unknown reason (note: the battery doesn't show changing nor does it drop down when it makes the alert sound).
What I've tried so far to debug this:
- Removed Battery, restarted phone
- Turned on Airplane mode incase there was some push notification causing it
- Tried fully charging phone (notification started happening when battery was around 1/3rd charged but still happens fully changed)
- Did a hard-reset - still get the sound with no applications installed/setup
- Checked the battery diagnosis menu (doesn't show anything unusual)
Only other step I can think of would be to do a restore from Zune... suspect this won't change a thing though. The phone had worked flawlessly for 4 months and this error started 1 day after installing NoDo - suspect that is just a coincidence though...
For some reason the alert seems to stop for a while (e.g. 5 to 10 minutes) and then restart. I can put the phone in vibrate mode to make it bearable, but battery life is getting drained...
Any one else see this before or having any ideas? Guessing the phone needs repair but thought I'd check.
Battery Icon
Yes, I have seen it. My Focus did the same thing, but I believe it may have been a battery icon notification. It has something to do with the mini USB port that is used for connecting to the PC. AT&T told me it is a known problem on Samsung phones but was supposed to be fixed in the update. Mine has stopped doing this but I know it can reoccur at anytime. I am waiting for the AT&T US update to see what happens. Try attaching to your PC, let Zune launch, turn off Zune, turn off your phone screen, disconnect your phone. You may have to do this a couple of times. For me, it stopped doing this whenever the plug was inserted in the phone USB port.
Did you happen to get the firmware update package that should be available after installing the March 2011 update?

A firmware update? where?
I didnt get this update. Any rogers users that did? I unbranded nodo then rebranded and nodo again and nothing....
Update
When I was troubleshooting with the AT&T Tech Support Center for devices I was told it would be in the upcoming AT&T update for the Samsung. I had the impression it was the NoDo release specifically for the Samsung. You need to ask this question of Samsung users who got the NoDo release, more importantly, those users who may have had this problem.
Thanks for the post James - good to know I'm not the only one! For me this only started after installing NoDo. I think your PC USB connection might be right/related as shortly before it happened, I had run the windows update checker again to see if there was a firmware update with the phone connected to Zune... (nodo had run fine for 24 hours before - there wasn't a firmware update so I'd just disconnected). Think the problem happened very shortly after that.
Still very odd that removing the battery and even doing a factory reset didn't fix it!
I have a call in to Rogers now to see if they'll swap the phone... may just be a configuation bug but travelling on business and figured if a hard reset didn't fix there must be something off in the hardware - now you have me wondering though! (the bug had stopped for a bit today... that said the notifications where somewhat intermittent).

This does not help all the time, but when it starts that crazy "boinging" sound and the battery icon flashes, plug the USB port into ANYTHING. Charger, PC anything. It will always stop when plugged in, but sometimes, after removing the USB plug, it will remain "fixed" for a while.
My Experience
A couple of weeks ago, this started on night and continued off and on thru the next day so I ran out of battery before I got home.
About a week later, it happen again.
When it happened the third time, I called AT&T Warranty Support. After a hard reset, the battery icon showed I was charging when I wasn't plugged in. They sent me a new phone, which is working fine, so far...
I'm sorry, I know this is an older thread. I had this problem pre-NoDo and it is still persisting after NoDo. Has anyone found any sort of fix, or even just a way to turn off the battery notification? The only thing I've seen is to just plug/re-plug it in, try cleaning the port, and making sure the prongs aren't bent. I had figured NoDo would fix it, but no such luck. Is this more of a hardware issue or a software issue? Thanks for any info.
Hi Kassi - I was fortunate enough to get my phone replaced under warranty (hasn't happened since). My thoughts are this is a hardware issue. Out of curiosity, do you (or the few others who had this issue), use any after market chargers (any cables that didn't come with the phone)?
I had a Monoprice Micro USB cable and wondering if it caused damage to the phone's connector port. The flat side of the cable's plug has bumps on it that are larger than the OEM cable and it makes a tight fit in the focus. I wonder if that somehow bent the port... what makes me suspect this is the problem started shortly after upgrading to NoDo and I'd used that cable for the upgrade.... (thinking it might have even started immediately after checking for a firmware upgrade using that cable...)
While it is handy to have extra cables I won't be using those again!
I have the same problem on my Samsung Omnia 7. Just suddently started happening when I didn't use the phone (many weeks after getting NoDo). Haven't found any fix for this (I'm in the US with a European phone, so a warranty replacement is a little bit tricky...)

No charge, no sync - loose MHL cable port.

Only had mine 3 weeks and its broken already. I have been using a desktop charger and have not been forcing it in at all, not once, I have always been very gentle inserting it it, anyway it no longer charges, it looks like the connectors have pushed themselves back so they are not flush anymore and thus no longer connecting to charge or sync.
Not happy about this at all, I had my desktop charger for my HD2 for 18 months with no problems at all, this suggest a very weak connector.
!!! BE CAREFUL !!!
Going to call in at Phones4you and see if they will swap it, I don't hold out much hope though.
Wow bad luck man, but really you don't need the F word to express your frustration.

was it an official desktop charger or 3rd party?
DO a factory reset using code *2767*3855#
(please not this will wipe everything including built in memory, so do backup before you proceed. Backup possible by moving content of internal memory to SD card by copy paste in file manager)
I had a problem when my phone stopped charging after I upgraded firmware, It would also launch Connected to computer screen when it wasnt . Thought its dead.
Did factory reset using this code and its working flawlessly ever since. Seems to be some kind of bug which happens out of nowhere as 2 people I know have experienced this after upgrading to KE2.

I was going to ask exactly the same thing...
I think the OP means that the micro usb receptacle has come away from the board and has been pushed back into the body of the phone. I hope this is not going to turn out to be a common problem as it's something that seemed plague to the Nokia N900 and it took ages for Nokia to acknowledge a design/production fault.
great advice, now it wont boot at all, just goes round in circles....
F**cked.....
anyone got any ideas?
Hi, the charger isnt really the issue, i haven't had any problems inserting the phone into the charger, ie no resistance which suggests to me it was week or loose and has gradually pushed it self back over the last 2 weeks since I have had the charger. If thats the case it would have done this with any charger or cable.
Just spoke to phones4you, they are going to exchange it for me, they didnt even grumble after I told them what happened which I thought was odd, heading off now to pick it up.
Will be interesting to see if your wifi is any better on the new phone stoolzo. Maybe you could let us know. Thanks.
good old phones4you
got it already, yes I really have. Phones4you are just round the corner in PC world. Will check my wifi tonight and report back on the other thread.

remove and reinsert battery
i had this issue when running custom kernels. somehow doesnt happen with stock.
issue happens like this:
u go to bed while charging
u wake up and the phoneis off or very hot with battery and temperature warning
u reboot and it doesnt reboot, doesn't boot, just goes in circle battery display/reboot cause it doesnt seem to charge neither have enough power to boot.
removing battery + cable then putting both back = it boots again and charge normally

Yeah, did all the usual things, I have bricked phones before and always managed to turn them around but we have no CMR to flash anything from ROOT/SD so when it wouldn't boot after a factory reset I knew I was in trouble
The MHL port being loose was the tell tale sign of a fault as I hadn't misused it at all. When I compared it to my new phone I got today it was defo a little further back, just enough to prevent it connecting.
Good old phones4you, fault report to phone exchange in under an hour, impressive.
Just in case the charger had anything to do with this I am going to get rid, dont think it did but I don't want to risk it.

Big voice talk problem and car mode notification

Ok so maybe I spoke too soon. Yesterday I was telling my brother that the Note is the most reliable phone I've ever owned.....then....
I started having issues with charging. My Note would not charge, then it would change after several resets. It would charge, then stop, then start again etc etc....making a lot of beeping noises.
Now, it seems to be charging, but Voice talk keeps loading, and I've turned off the home key activation option. I also get the notification icon saying to disable car mode.
I really hope someone can help, thanks in advance.
kris
Great, now it's not charging, again!
Actually when I get the notification issue from Voice talk, the battery starts charging for a second until the notification disappears and stops charging....
Now factory reset my phone again and charging worked while restarting and restoring but when loaded the voice talk app keeps coming up and going off, so I have a black flashing screen constantly....gonna try restarting/reset without restoring...
Hi leicashot, this shouldn't happen. Which firmware version are you currently running? I recommend installing the latest LB1 stock, unless you have AT&T Note.
Some users have reported similar symptoms when there was dust in the mini usb port. Try cleaning the device, and if all else fails, you should send it back to Samsung for repair.

I'm using the latest 2.6.35.7. Any idea how to try clean the port? Definitely seems like something is wrong with the port....
No charging issues for me but my Note started doing the driving mode thing at about 3am today and has been doing it on and off all day!
Exceedingly annoying!
are you trying to charge from a PC or a wall outlet?
I usually charge via mains but it wasn't charging or even plugged in at the time this started happening. It was just sitting on the table by my bed. I even powered it off but it switched itself back on!
Here is how to fix it.
Take out the battery and take a plastic edge like credit card or even a regular tiny small screwdriver and push the pins (strip) inside the phone. I mean, to take the screw driver and push in the pins back inside the phone, in inside the usb charging port. your problem will disappear. make sure your plastic flexible after-market phone cover has a big enough hole at the bottom to allow you to connect a usb cable easily to the phone, or else, cut open a bigger hole on the cover.
Good luck
so here it is again: you have to push in the usb port pins back inside the phone, straight in without bending them. you can also buy a usb charging port from ebay for 22 bucks and change it yourself in 10 minutes. its a hardware problem so stop resetting your phone.
Nop bro i dont think so, cuz it happened same with me sometime after i bought galaxy note same thing happened with me too. I mean exactly same. So before i didnt knew rooting and flashin roms and all so i gave to service centre and they put newer version of ron in it and my problem was fixed after that.

Indeed. I remain convinced this is not hardware and is software related. The main reason for my thoughts there are that as well as the driving mode thing it seems that some piece of software is trying to load up as it asks me if I want to run whatever it is in either Clock or TuneIn Radio. Bizarre. Also, the first time it happened it was bang on 3am. Everytime I turned the phone off it would come back on exactly two minutes later.
The second night it started doing it bang on 1am.
I'm waiting to see what time it starts tonight.
It doesn't (so far) do it at all during the day.
Going to give it a couple of days to see what happens then go figure out how to go back to a factory ROM rather than the the Rocket 22 I have on here now.

Same thing is happening to me. I tried pushing the USB pins in slightly. I'll let you guys know if it helped or not.

I've been having the same problem for a few days now.
I've just pushed the pins in with the corner of my charging cables connector and the problem stopped.
There was also a notification that flashed up saying something like: USB connector or device removed.
Voice talk is still managing to launch itself, even after pushing the pins in. I'm on stock LB2 so maybe I've finally found a reason to flash a GB rom?
Happened to me yesterday. Got a toothbrush and cleaned usb port on phone. Now seems ok

[HELP] my Omnia7 will not stay in standby! it switchs on alone

Hello guys,
I have a very strange but really bad problem: my omnia7 can't stay in standby.
When I press the power button, to turn off the screen and go in standby (so not the full turn off), my Omni7 wakes up alone, going on the unlock screen. In the same time, the phone rings with the ring that is played when you connect the phone for charging.
I've tried reboot, reset, hardreset, removing the sim-card, turning on/off "battery saver options" ... still that issue :crying:
Anyone has an idea?
I've flashed with a cooked rom (xda-devs Omnia7 Tango V4.0)
my current config :
OS version : 7.10.8779.8
hard version : 3.1.0.4
soft radio version : 2424.11.7.2
hard radio version : 0.0.0.800
loader version : 4.10.1.9
SOC version : 0.36.2.0
Thanks to any ideas, because that problem is killing me
my phone started doing this late last night too! i thorght it was because rain had gone into the power socket but if others are having same problem at the same time maybe not?
has your phone been exposed to water at all recently? is your phone jailbroken? cant realy think of other reasons
the problem stops when the phone is plugged in. is there anything that can trick the phone to thinking it is on charge? I have wphtweaks installed but the options there are not able to stop it
Hi,
I can't remember if my phone has been wet :/ I take care, so my phone never received water. But when I'm outside, under the rain, it's possible.
Today it was better, just a few times my phone wakes up alone.
I'll give you feedback in the next days. Let me know about yours
I managed to trick my phone into silence a few times earlier but it was difficult and then only lasted 5-10 minutes.
if yours didnt get wet it seems unlikely to do with water but I left mine ontop of the aga after removing the battery and over a relativly cool part. A few hours later and it seems to be working fine now.
I will report back if the issue arises again.
EDIT: Ahhhh!! STOP THE RINGING!!! started again this morning
Mine too !
This morning ... the ringing awakening problem !!!!!
But it was better this afternoon.
Really I don't know what happens.
Are we only two persons in the xda world with this problem????
this is realy weird now! mine was doing it in the morning but since about 12pm - 1pm it has been fine! I feel like its something to do with an installed homebrew app maybe.
I also have a custom rom but mine was flashed a long time ago and much older than yours. not sure which version
EDIT (1:10pm GMT): no problems since yesterday
EDIT2 (1:30pm GMT): again i spoke too soon!
Did you guys get this problem sorted out? Had the same problem recently and tried all the suggestions in other threads (bend USB pin, Reset/Restore Device etc) but nothing fixed it, so after being woken at 3am by constant charging tone, took to T-Mobile shop. They said it was a software problem. I said I'd tried all that and the most likely cause I'd seen on the internet was a duff USB port.
Anyway, T-Mobile sent it off for repair and 7 days later - returned and fixed. The repair sheet said software upgrade, but the phone had been reset to bog standard Phone 7, so unlikely. The T-Mobile repair tracking site (excellent) which shows blow-by-blow trace of what and where, showed initial software upgrade/no fix but I used their "contact us" facility to suggest a USB problem and by magic the repair tracking log showed a replacement USB port.
BTW - had to resort to an iphone and HTC android while Omnia was off for repair. Now I know why I like Phone 7 and can't wait for 8. The iphone GUI is so last decade and Android GUI is really just a copy of Windows 6.5 with XDA developers' tweaks isn't it.
Hi Wuzzok,
what do you mean by "bend USB pin" ?
Anyway, it seems like it's finished for me. I didn't get tht strange bug (soft/hard bug???) for a very long time. I just hope it's really over !
Same problem
Hi Folks,
I have the same problem, too. Yesterday afternoon on my way home the phone started ringing with the USB plug sound and always started up itself from standby mode.
As I have a custom ROM (mi7ROM) I first thought it could be a problem with the ROM - although I could not really believe it since it was running stable for months now. I flashed it again and nothing changed - still ringing and starting up itself
I managed to get rid of the sound by deleting the entry in the registry key "Local Machine\Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging\Sound" but that does not solve the real problem.
After reading here and in some other WP7 blogs I am sure that this is a hardware problem with the USB plug unit. As my phone is just 11 months old I opened an online ticket at "SAMSUNG online repair service" who promise to answer in the next 24 hours. So I just have to wait and see...

Samsung sent me an offer to send the phone in for repair - but what should I say, the problem solved itself. For two days now the phone works normal again. So I had to cancel the service call .
mine hasnt done it in a long time either. looks like its just a temporary thing. I wonder what caused it! For me it started after I was using my phone in the rain and the usb slide was open so thats my suspect.
You may be right. Mine is "quiet" now, since a long time. Water may be the cause.
Update
Hi folks,
mine is mostly quiet again, too. Only few incidents "happen" but they do not last very long - only a few minutes. It's somehow spooky but I do not want to send it in to Samsung now when the error it not constantly reproducible.
I agree with you that there might be a correlation with humidity although I am sure that it did never get wet and I almost always keep the USB-shutter closed. Who knows ...
Sent it in
Finally I sent it in for repair today. It started ringing permananently two days ago...
Now I have to wait and see.
Final state
Okay, I received it back... and it works.
First they did nod find and could not reproduce the failure and wanted to send it back - only with a new flashed image - but fortunately the technician called me and I could describe the problem again. After waiting a few hours, the fault appeared again and they decided to change the mainboard.
I hope, that's all :laugh:
Hello,
Me too it makes me after my omnia 7 is dropped in water, but problem solved.
Me too

2 questions about passcode and waterproof

Had it a week so far and LOVE it...
I've had one issue and also one question.
Issue: Today i tried to unlock my screen (I use a 6-digit numeric code), and it WOULD NOT accept my correct pin. It was absolutely the right number ive typed it in a hundred times. I even went extremely slow to make sure i wasnt fudging it. It locked me out for 30 seconds and then i tried again, it says incorrect passcode. Thankfully i powered it off, and back on again, and it took my pin no problem. This happened to anyone else? And is it a software bug or what??
Question: Anyone have any insight on how long to wait before charging after getting the phone wet? I took some fun pics of my kids today at the pool underwater and it worked flawlessly, but I'm unsure how long I should wait before trying to charge it. I assume a couple hours or so but..
Thanks everybody!!

Awesome to know. I wasn't sure if it would warn me or if I'd just mess it up if it was too wet. Thanks.
Normally just blowing into the charging port will get rid of all water and charges fine. The pin input issue I encountered today myself. Fingerprint wouldn't take either. I had to reboot and then everything worked fine.
