Moisture Detected, Charging is blocked.

Moisture Detected, Charging is blocked.

Hi, my father has an LG G6, and it has been saying moisture detected and prevented the device from charging. We have tried MANY things, putting it in a bag of rice even though he knew he didn't drop it in water or anything, using compressed air, rubbing alcohol in the port, WD40, EVERYTHING we could find online. But we have heard you can shut off the moisture detection, BUT all the videos we find are of different carriers "secret menu codes" so we can't figure it out. We have sprint, any help we can get? This seems to be a very common issue with the G6. I personally NEVER buy LG phones, because I know all the issues they have had in the past and present.

My fix is very simple, now that I’ve discovered it. The charger connection can go either way up. If I plug it in one way, I get the moisture alarm; if I turn it over, it charges fine. Go figure!

Hi. I had to try several things, but what ultimately worked was restarting the phone WITHOUT REMOVING THE CHARGER . I left it connected to the phone, did a restart, and when my LG Venture phone came back on; it charged normally. Works everytime…hope it works for you!

Here’s how I fixed it and I don’t know why I didn’t see it before. Press on the notification when it pops up. Go to More Settings. Under Categories it will show the USB notification. There was a 3 dot menu indicator that I hadn’t seen before. Press it. Set notification to Low - no sound or text. That did it!

To be honest, I'm so !#^&@@ it has been this way for 4 days now. Nothing permanent works, but I did everything. I restarted my phone on off, i did the code thing didn't worked, I turned off the notif, I reset data for LG system server, now i tried 3 type-C usb cable, some.works then detects again, then another one you have to flip the side of the USB itself then it charges. Sometimes it gets full, some times it detects things likeeee this thing moisture fcking thing has mood swings and I'm sick of doing this, I tries cleaning, brush and removing dirt from inside. Nothing permanent works.
