Why Does My Phone Not Charge Sometimes?

[abbeylee90]

I plug my phone in to charge and sometimes a notification comes up to unplug it as it has water in it but then I put it by window and it does charge. Why could that be?

Why is there water in your phone?

High humidity can sometimes cause a water drop.

There was but from getting wet but this was Sunday

You've obviously got a tiny amount of moisture in the charging port.  Putting your phone close to a window, where there will be warmth from the sunshine and possibly a draft to help clear the moisture as well, enables that moisture to evaporate.

I found that my phone would sometimes not charge depending on how the cable/connector was angled, turned out to be a small piece of fluff (from pocket I would think!) insidecthe charging socket of the phone. It would stop the connector going fully into the socket. I gently removed it with a with a toothpick. Could be that?

I've had that issue. I have come to believe it's sensor is far too sensitive as no water can be seen, nor has there been any incident which could have wet it. The only possibility I could think of is that it was detecting the air humidity. In my opinion it is a design flaw not caught before being marketed. It will decide it's dry enough to charge eventually, but that's little help when it's on 2% charge and you need to go out fairly soon.

My daugher's mobile fell out of her pocket as she leant over a bucket of water.  Yes, the phone fell into it.  We used a hair dryer on it and it was sorted really quickly. So with just a tiny drop of water, not a problem.

Samsung phones often have an issue with Moisture detected - even when there's no moisture near the phone at all. Try this solution: ?si=_xBa46LNJ6fzGR2F
