Moisture detection in charging port after 2.5 UI update

[DJZSGuayitoDOREAN]

Is anyone else having this problem with moisture detected in your charging port. I'm on day 5 of this issue. I went to the Samsung store was told it would cost me $450 usa dollars to fix it. This started after the 2.5 ui update. FML. SO DISAPPOINTED. 

Update it went away for a day and now is back

My girls iPhone 11 did that a handful of times then went away, if you factory reset it should clear the code, data loss is a issue but generally you should have a Samsung backup stored. I typed factory reset without a password into google and it listed first thing (This should solve your problem if it's due to the convince.

Are you certain there is no moisture in your phone, meaning this is a false error message? Which model phone do you have?

[DJZSGuayitoDOREAN]

I have a note 10×

Do you know if any moisture actually got inside your charging port?  Or is this a bogus error message?

[DJZSGuayitoDOREAN]

Is your phone holding any charge now?

[DJZSGuayitoDOREAN]

it is but it shuts downevery now and then

[DGM]

Well that's good that you can charge it some somehow. Btw, how have you been able to do that?

As I'm sure you know, there are about half a dozen recommendations out there to solve your problem...

Have you tried flattening/softening the end of a toothpick, and putting some rubbing alcohol on it and then carefully trying to clean the charging port with it? That seems to help lots of times. 🤞
