I have that rediculous annoying "moisture detected" error that is preventing my phone from charging. I would like to know, how do I permanently disable this 'feature' ?
I am not looking for sollutions to the fault, because there is no fault! It's simply a humid week in my area and this feature needs to be turned off. I don't carry rice with me to work, I don't have a way to remove the sim etc etc. I simply want to disable the service that checks for moisture, or turn the sensor off.
You help is appreciated.
Moisture detection problem here also... please advise how to disable.

Hi,
After using my phone after a workout I'm afraid I water/moist damaged the touch screen. The screen suddenly started to make touch inputs by itself and then I turned the phone of, removed the back cover to check for any liquid. I noticed that there unfortunately were some moist behind the back cover.
So I decided to leave the phone off without the back cover to hopefully dry up for about 24 hours. But when I turned the phone on again the touch screen was totally unresponsive. So I guess the moisture broke something in the screen (from my googling I'm suspecting the digitizer).
But my question is if anyone knows or is willing to check on their working phones what color the moisture indicator (not sure if there actually are two indicators on the D802??) on LG G2 is when it's indicating water damage? I'm guessing that it is red when there has been water on it but unfortunately I couldn't find any high quality pictures on Google showing the original color of the moisture indicator and the color of a indicator that has been exposed to water.
I'm planning on giving it a try to use my factory warrenty to have the screen replaced but if the moisture indicator clearly shows that there have been water involved, I might have to reconsider
Anyhow, I would be very happy if someone is willing to upload a picture of an untouched, non water damaged, moisture indicator(s).
Of course, if someone has any tips regarding why the screen is unresponsive, you're more than welcome to share
Thanks in advance!

Hi, this exact scenario happened to me a few weeks ago, when I answered a call while sweating profusely. In my case I noticed that all of a sudden I could not hear the person on the other side of the call so I plugged in my headset and completed the call. The speaker grill was just a bit wet, but the screen was covered in sweat, specially so on the area that now does not work.
Then I started noticing the screen started to fail on the now common horizontal zone on the upper part of the screen only.
I have not managed to make it work since. I guess a full screen replacement is at hand... But I'm waiting to get a smartwatch, so maybe the screen will come after that, if ever.
Cheers

Hello world,
First let me explain why I want to do this.
My phone has been soaked when I was on my bike.. So when I turned it On, the screen remained off. I decided to dry it but there were some oxidation points on the motherboard which I've removed with an electrical contact cleaner.
Hence, I have retrieved my screen but the multitouch has gone mad. Probably due to a short circuit as I didn't turn the phone off right after I found it soaked.
Does anyone know if we can disable the multitouch on the software part? This way, I could still use the phone with the S-pen which works perfectly.
Thank you.
Hi,
My Nexus 6P started to act weirdly 3 days ago. Sometimes when I use it the screen turn off just by moving it a little bit. When it do it it it's only after a few second otherwise it works totally fine. Sometimes I use it in my hand and just putting it in my table or in any flat surfaces turn the screen off and grabing the phone again turn the screen on again... Is there a bad contact or a broken power button ? It feels like shaking the phone a little bit often help. I'm on the latest official Oreo, I have no special app installed and Ambiant Display and this kind of kinds are all disabled, I can only turn the screen on by power button.I have no boot-loop or problems like that. And it seems like it never turn on and off in my pocket.
Do you have an idea what could be the problem ?

I don't want to be an alarmist, but it doesn't sound good. Check your battery capacity with the Accubattery app. Just in case I would make sure your photos are being auto-backed up to the cloud and do a full backup of the phone, storing it on your PC. Enable usb debugging and allow oem unlock under dev settings. If your screen does die completely, you won't be able to get into your phone to do this. If you enable usb debugging, at least you will be able to adb pull any files you need off the phone. Check that battery health.

Yeah thank you buddy ! Don't worry, I do a full TWRP backup of my phone every week. Battery is working great, I don't have the below X% shuting down bug, no bootloop bug and I can do a whole day without charging (except if I play on my phone, which is normal). I'm thinking more about a bad contact of the screen connector or the power button.
[FONT="]I found that it was the magnetic sensor used for the flip cover that cause this Strange behavior. I have a pouch that close with a magnet and it randomly interact with the phone. Is it possible to disable the lock and unlocking by magnet sensor?[/FONT]

The N6P has a magnetic sensor to turn off the screen with Folio case. My Nexus 7 has this feature and I can use my kernel (EX Kernel Manager) to enable/disable it. It is an option to toggle on or off under Settings>>Miscellaneous. That setting is not there for the N6P, but shouldn't be that difficult to implement if you are using EX kernel. I'd ask over in the dedicated EX Kernel thread. Maybe Flar2 can hook you up.

Hello!
I have problem with moisture detected info since 2 months all the time, I tried to clean port, charge when phone is off, Restore factory settings, but nothing helps.
Change usb socket is almost impossible in home, so I'm looking for some rom/mod with software bypass for this issue. Maybe You know something about it Guys? I need Your help really cause wireless charging is tiring..
The only thing that maybe possible is NFC charging......

Try to use rubbing alcohol to clean the port. I got the same issue just by visiting a beach ⛱
I Tried clean port many times (everyday I'm trying) but nothing changed, so if it's impossible to disable this sh** by root/software so i need to reinstall usb port in service :/ Very disappointed by samsung..
Put the phone in a rice bucket for a day. It will dry out any moisture inside
@cisekpro did you able to fix?
Ok quick story first:
My 6t was exposed to a bit of water. Wasn't a lot, (not completely submerged) but water did manage to get inside. As soon as that happened, (while the phone was still on) every sensor on the device almost just ceased to exist (ambient light, proximity, gyroscope, etc. Later, the phone started to prevent itself from booting which lasted until it dried (boot animation would show for a bit before the screen went black. but recovery and fastboot mode worked fine). I opened up the device and took out the motherboard and dried everything out. upon putting everything back together, still all sensors don't work. I even used msm tool to reset everything possible back to stock. still no sensors. The device doesn't even recognize that it has any sensors. In fact, the output of "adb shell dumpsys sensorservice" returns:
"No Sensors on the device
devInitCheck : 0"
in the sensors multitool app, the only things that show up are battery, gps, and wifi. Nothing else shows up in the hamburger menu list.
Is there any way to restore the sensors functionality? my guess is that the water triggered some sort of switch that turned them all off. There's no way that ALL of them got water damaged to the point of not even being recognized by the phone that they exist?
Other than this, the phone is in perfect operating condition. Everything inside and out looks in great condition and there is no weird behavior. screen works, speakers work, microphones work, cameras work, vibration motor works, buttons and alert slider works, etc.
Please, any insights into this situation are MUCH appreciated. Thanks!
You need to disconnect the battery and completely dry it, now.
The device if not already permanently damaged will be, sooner then latter...

well thats the thing. i already did disconnect the battery and dry it out. but if it was permanently damaged how come it is every single sensor and nothing else? wouldn't it make more sense if only some of the sensors were damaged? and if a sensor or two was damaged wouldn't it be likely that something else got damaged too? however thats not that case. Every single sensor is just completely gone as if they were all disconnected/removed from the phone entirely (as opposed to present but not working correctly). Thats why physical damage just doesn't seem likely to be what happened.
How did you dry it out?

i completely disconnected and removed the motherboard out from the phone and let it air dry alongside the rest of the device with a fan blowing on it

How long?
The BGA chipsets may not have dried out. The solder pads are underneath...
One reason I recommended using the drying agent anhydrous isopropyl alcohol... with care.
Then heat plus fan for 72 hours.

It was only a bit more than overnight, so I guess I could try for longer :/
However, it has already been over 2 days since the incident so I would have thought everything would have dried out by now.

If it gets under the chipsets it going to take a lot longer than that. A temperature of 100F or so would help as would the anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Also sit on edge rather than flat.
ok. I should also mention that when I would try to boot up the phone, it seemed like it would take just a little bit longer to boot than usual. not sure how or if it's related but that's what I noticed.

If it's still wet you don't want power applied; electrolysis and accelerated corrosion may occur. If that happens on a BGA chipset and damages a pad by shorting it out or causing an open circuit there's no practical way to repair it.
I guess it really was leftover water. I let the motherboard dry out in the sun, then put it all back together again. Immediately I noticed that it boots a lot quicker now (like it used to) and now all the sensors register (and work as they should).
So at the end of all of this I am left with much the same suspicions as I had when the issue arouse. There must be some sort of contacts on the board that disable all the sensors (to prevent further damage) when they have continuity, like in the case of water. There might also be another pair of contacts that prevents the whole OS from booting like I initially experienced with the phone shutting off mid-boot like I explained earlier.
So I guess what I got out of this (and for anyone else in the future with similar issues) is that whatever it is that isn't turning on, it's probably not damaged. Instead, it's probably just disabling itself as a safety measure to prevent further damage and will work normally once all water is completely dried. The best you can do is to dry out all the water as quickly as possible, and don't use your device until then.

Yay.
It may still fail in the future though.
Water damage to electronics and electrical systems like a car's is insidious. I do not use the word insidious lightly or as an exaggeration here.
There's absolutely no internal circuit water protection. The C ports have external water protection on most models now though.
