Why are we experiencing so many headaches with our very expensive phone? Using an expensive phone like the S23 Ultra should be a seamless experience, yet here we are dealing with so much inconvenience because our phone won't charge due to moisture that didn't even exist in the first place.
I think asking us to close down our Philippine operations is a bit of an overreaction 😭
The moisture charging protection is in place to protect your device from shorting out due to moisture creeping into the charging ports. As you know, electronics and water don't really mix that well, so this feature was put in place to keep you and your device safe!
If your device is still saying that there's still moisture inside the charging port, try this:
Unplug your device if it's charging
Wipe the entire device with a dry microfiber cloth (not tissue - it messes up your phone's coating)
Gently shake the phone with the charging port facing downwards to release any excess moisture
Place your phone on a dry cloth in a well-ventilated area (or in front of a fan)
Wait 5-10 minutes before trying to charge again.
If that doesn't work still, you can run a diagnostics test via your Samsung Members app to see if the sensors detect any damage (or to know if the sensors are damaged themselves.) Once you determine that there is an issue, bring your device to your nearest Samsung Service Center for repair :)
This "feature" is not meant to protect our phone; it's an add-on that causes so much inconvenience. Other Android phones don't have this so-called "feature," yet their phones work like Superman. "Water resistant," what a nice joke, when it can't handle a single piece of moisture.
