If you’re getting the “moisture detected” error on your Galaxy S8, don’t worry – it’s a common problem and there’s an easy fix.
First, try wiping down the port with a dry cloth. If that doesn’t work, try using a can of compressed air to blow out any dust or debris that may be clogging the port.
If you’re still getting the error, the next step is to try a different charger. If you’re using a wireless charger, try a wired charger. And if you’re using a fast charger, try a standard charger.
If none of those steps work, the last resort is to factory reset your phone. This will erase all your data, so make sure to back everything up first.
Hopefully one of those steps will fix the problem and you’ll be able to use your Galaxy S8 without any issues.

Why this error occurs and how to prevent it
This error occurs when the phone detects moisture on the SIM card or in the SIM card slot. It is generally caused by condensation from your breath or skin.

How to troubleshoot your Galaxy S8 if you keep getting this error
If you’re seeing a “Moisture Detected” error on your Galaxy S8, don’t worry – this is just a built-in safety feature that’s designed to protect your phone from water damage.
There are a few things that can trigger this error, such as:
– Using your phone in the rain or in a humid environment
– Spilling water or another liquid on your phone
– Dropping your phone in water
If you think that you may have triggered the error, the first thing you should do is dry off your phone as best as you can. If it’s still wet, you can try using a hairdryer on the lowest setting to gently dry it off.
Once your phone is dry, try charging it. If the error persists, there may be water damage to your phone and you’ll need to take it to a certified repair center for further diagnostics.
What to do if your Galaxy S8 is still under warranty
If your Galaxy S8 is still under warranty, you should take it to your nearest Samsung service center. They will be able to help you fix the problem and get your phone working properly again.
How to fix the “moisture detected” error without voiding your warranty
If your Galaxy S8 gives you the “moisture detected” error, it means that the phone’s moisture sensor has been activated. This usually happens when the phone is exposed to water or other liquids.
To fix the error, you’ll need to remove the moisture from the phone. The best way to do this is to use a can of compressed air. Hold the can about 10 inches away from the phone and blast the air into the phone’s port. This will remove any moisture from the phone.
If the compressed air doesn’t work, you can try using a vacuum cleaner. Put the vacuum cleaner on the phone’s port and turn it on. The vacuum will suck any moisture out of the phone.
If you still can’t get the “moisture detected” error to go away, you can try taking the phone apart and cleaning the moisture sensor with a cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the sensor, as this will void your warranty.
If all else fails, you can always contact Samsung’s customer support. They may be able to help you fix the problem without voiding your warranty.
