How much moisture do you think it takes to short out an electrical circuit?
For water to have gotten in the case far enough to damage the battery, it would have ruined more than that.
Did the phone stay on after you dropped it? Then no, it's not your battery.
Have you tried just letting the phone sit, off, and dry out, before trying it again?

Hi thanks 4 ur reply yes the phone stayed on after it was working fine till I put the charging in it. It would not charge the battery.
Just let it sit out over night...take the back cover off and battery out and just let it sit around...or if you have a blow dryer you can try that but dont put it to close

Good advice, but I'll just amend it to say ... ONLY when the battery is OUT. In fact, be sure to give it a few minutes after trying that before booting it back up. And, only point it at the back cover, it could easily have negative effects on the screen.
Hi appreciate the help everyone yeah I left battery out last night it still won't charge this morning, I am using the usb to adapter that came with the phone 2 charge it. This happen once with my HTC 8125 & I had to get a original charger to bring the phone back to life no charger will charge it but the original after u can use anyone, I will update u later and c how that worked out.
Hi guys on found this online on ppctechs.com it says "In some cases, your HTC Touch Pro 2 will not charge from an AC/DC adapter or other charging accessory when the battery life is below 30 percent."
Are you trying to charge from a USB port or an AC adapter?
Maybe the USB port is bad.
Do you have another charger to try?

Hi I try usb to adapter that came with the phone 3 different wall chargers and still not charging, last 2 try is a car charger don't have one and there is 1 ft of snow outside
Hi I ordered a new battery & a battery wall charger off ebay when I get it I will update u on how things when.
Hi I got the wall charger battery is fine I think I have a faulty usb port cuz the phone still won't charge or connect via usb can it be u need software to charge
have the same issue (didnt drop it in snow though) it won't charge via usb or car charger.
So you got a new battery and still won't charge via USB?
Mine connects to my pc fine, just doesn't charge. Ordered a new mugen power 1800mah battery, waiting for it to get here to see if its a battery problem.
yeah still don't charge plus it is in a bootloader loop think it is a hardware problem with the usb port
I know that, for example, the iPhone has about 4 moisture sensors, one inside the USB connector port, one in the headphone jack, and 2 inside the phone, the last 2 will trigger things like reboots or even blocking the charge. Put the phone in silica gel or, more convenient, a bag with dry rice (that's how I've saved my old lg vu) for couple of days...

Have you tried plugging it into the mains (wall) charger and let it sit for a while?
That fixed my bootloader loop, turns out the battery was too weak to power the device on that it went to bootloader. I Just plugged it into the wall charger and ignored it, came back and it was working fine and charging.
But it won't charge via usb or car charger
I had the same loop problem but mine never recovered. Never dropped it in anything wet either. I let it die once and could never get it to turn all the way back on because it would just try to boot and then shut off again over and over. Had to send it back for a new phone. If its new enough and there is no water damage marks then I would send it back for a new one.
Hi everyone phone is fix now it was a bad usb port that was causing the bootloader loop so protected your usb port.
I have a problem with my USB port too. Nope, no snow. Just realized one day why my internet kept getting disconnected. It's because the USB connection was the problem. Jiggling it around gets the orange (or green when battery is full) light to come on and computer will recognize it... or it starts charging from wall charger. I think the phone's USB connection is bad. Is this a common problem with this phone?

It seems to be yes, I've seen quite a number of people who've had this type of problem on the Rhodium end up finding out it was a bad USB port on the phone...I think HTC just might have used ones that weren't nearly sturdy enough.
USB Port of Kaiser TYTN II very sensitive to moisture
I have the same issue described here, with 2 different HTC Kaisers : (
When the phone is off and plugged into the wall, it charges. When the phone is on, and I plug it into the wall or computer, the phone doesn't know it's plugged in.
I ordered a brand new usb charging flex jack and replaced the old one, still the same problem. What gives?
EDIT: I am stock. Not rooted.
Does this happen on the original cable also?
Have you tried wiping?
Is Fast Charge on?
Fk. It doesn't even charge from the wall! When the phone is off, it has the animation that says it's charging when i plug it in the wall. I left it plugged into the wall overnight. This morning I took a look at the phone, and it didn't charge!
Oh noez, what should i do?
Also, I don't have the original cable. I'm using an HTC one.
EDIT: Dafuq?! I found an LG charger. Apparently the phone knows that it's charging when I charge with that. The thing is, that charger is just a charger; it's not a usb cable+ an adaptor. So I can't use it for adb and such.
What is Fast Charge?

You should mention what ROM you're on (and version) so that no one else makes the same mistake I did in assuming you had a custom ROM and that Fast Charge is on. It's a feature that makes sure that whatever charges it is recognised as AC 1amp charger as some chargers aren't designed well enough (I believe it involves a single solder point) to report themselves as capable of 1A. If it doesn't report as AC to Android, it will charge at 500mA instead (it assumes USB power). It sometimes causes problems with connecting to PC via USB.
Get another USB cable, this time none of that fancy **** go straight to OE Samsung or something.
=O I thot all usb cables are made equal! So I can't use an HTC usb cable? The dude didn't sell me the phone with a cable T.T
Also, I'm stock. I am not even rooted.
My nexus just started acting stupid when I plug it in also.
Mine sat in a drawer for a few weeks and when I plugged it in to charge, it wouldn't.
What I did was this.
plug device into charger
remove battery for a few seconds
replace battery
press power button
phone powered up and began charging.
Even now, it still sometimes doesn't recognize the charger and I have to unplug and plug it in until it does.
I use a rocketfish cable.

Some devices are picky, you'd think that all USB cables are made equal (I did too) but some just don't work well with certain devices. I've had printers th... wait printers always have **** problems... I've had uh... usb extensions not work well with some Wifi dongles and such. My old milestone didn't like the Samsung cable either (yet the Moto cable works perfectly on gnex)
=O. Then it has to be the usb cable! No way it's not!
I ordered one on ebay =D
Rooted Gnex here I come!

Thank you dmappdev,
I followed your procedure (feel like talking about surgery here, which isn't too far from topic); I'm convinced that it helped in some way, directly or indirectly... as at first, my Galaxy S Advance still wouldn't recognize/charge my phone with:
1. its own charger,
2. my old Galaxy Ace's charger,
3. a universal wall usb plug used with the S Advanced own USB-to-USBmini cable.
My last idea was to use, quote: an old Nokia USB cable connected to my PC... and that worked.
I was much too happy my phone had remembered how to charge to stay mad... But I still tried those three means for charging again, and only the phone's original charger worked now. So the phone's charging ability has been "awakened" in some way, but only for the original charger ...technology is improving, but not the ethics on making life easier for the consumer.
All this was yesterday. This morning (there's more, yes), I saw my phone indicating a 100% charge although it had been disconnected from charge for several hours - something that had already happened once yesterday, before the unable-to-charge situation; a simple reboot took care of the problem, the battery status now showing a more realistic 53%.
Any comments to any of the above? If not, thanks again for your tip anyway !!!
I have a problem with my note 8.0 for about a month. One time it's charging just fine, the other time it doesn't charge at all... The same with connecting with computer via USB. No matter what cable/charger i use. Suprisingly i can flash it, with no problem and i can connect USB stick via OTG anytime. I also tried opening it and removing battery for several hours, but that only worked once. Anyone has any idea what can i do next to solve this problem?
I use an app called Galaxy Charging Current. It enables you to get a rough idea of what the current of your device is drawing:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
For a Galaxy Note 8, it should be around 2 Amps, or 2000 mA, but it's likely to be around 1.7ish. I also use a device like this: http://amzn.eu/9aHm97o which you can also use to check current draw and test cables.
Not much help, but it may help you find out whether the device is taking a charge, or if there's a fault with a cable or charger.

After time the USB port gets loose around its connector, and does not hold the cable end tightly. Try replacement USB port. They are cheap and easy to replace.
Another thing is some aftermarket USB cables have weak connectors. Lightly crimp the center with small pliers as to compress top and bottom. I said lightly. It will put more pressure to the internal contacts so they are snug. May take a few attempts as you may be too light on crimping, but that is a good thing.

Clean your cable heads with fingernail polish remover
Let it dry some and push it in and out of the charging port til you get proper amps
As of today, when I plug in the charger it will show the Dash charging symbol, then cut in and out a few times before it stays charging. I updated to 5.0.3 yesterday if it means anything.
Is this normal? I couldn't find anyone else reporting this.
It happens to me too, even back in Nougat. It starts as regular charging and then a couple of seconds later, switches to Dash. I figure the delay is due to the charger and phone figuring out how much battery the phone has left to determine how much amps to push through. Dash charging operates at different amperages depending on the voltage of the battery. Thing is, that either that never seemed to happen on my OnePlus 5 or I never noticed it, but on the 5t it does.
I think I'd be more comfortable with your issue. When I see the charging LED flashing and the charging notification disappearing and reappearing, it's unsettling.
My Nexus 5X would do this as pocket lint would build up in the USB port, preventing the USB cable from fully seating. Every so often I would have to take a small needle (something non conductive would probably be better) and carefully clean around the edges to pull out the lint. I was always amazed at how much build up really does end up in the USB port and headphone jack.
I used to have that issue with old micro USB ports and this definitely reminds me of that. I'm concerned though because I've had the phone less than a week and the port is clean. I also get that satisfying 'click' when plugging in the charger.
Ah, well that probably isn't your problem then. I would try another charger and cable to try and isolate the problem between the phone, cable, and charger.
Remember the OnePlus cable is unique, you can't use just any USB C cable with the dash charger. I believe IIRC the OEM cable has a 10k resistor, while most in spec USB C cables will have a 56K resistor. However you can use another charger and cable and see if it cuts out as well.

We have three 5t phones here all purchased last week. I tried all three charges that came with the phone and it does this with each one, all plugged into different outlets.
We updated a 2nd one to 5.0.3 and now this one also has the charging notifications flicker on and off about 7 times before it stays charging normally. I haven't tested the 3rd yet because it was fully charged when I came home.
It's odd that it is two of our devices now doing this and I haven't seen anyone else with this problem. I would assume that we got phones out of a defective batch, but they were definitely not doing this before the update.
Just an update, I wiped system and cache and it still does this.
It didn't do it when I plugged in at 88% immediately after wiping. But it does do it when I plug in at around 30% like I usually do.
I'm wondering now if they all do this after the 5.0.3 update and no one really notices.
SO yeah, I've seen where people have had software issues causing this on the Note 8, and S8 models, is it a bug that crept into the S9 as well? The tech at the Sprint store verified the cleanliness and dryness of the port, thinks it's the port, and they won't have parts to fix it for probably a month or so. I REALLY don't want to send it in to be fixed, so I bought a couple wireless chargers.

It it showing constantly or only when a cable is plugged in? If it's with a cable, have you tried other cables? I had my phone give me that message earlier today when plugging in an incompatible hub. The hub wasn't even connected to anything.

All the time. It has a popup with sound when you plug it in. The rest of the time, it's just a notification in the tray.

Yeah, tried rebooting, wiped cache, power down all the way, multiple times. Tried plugging the cable in while booting. It looks to be charging while plugged in and powered down.
So, the message went away, and it would charge with 2 different chargers, normal speed, not fast charge. Would not work with a charger I have here at home. None are Samsung chargers, but all are QC 3.0, which will report as fast charging on the phone. Then today it charged fast in the truck, and the one at home works, but only slow speed.
I'm not going to stress over it as long as the fast wireless charging keeps working. The battery life is more than enough to get me through a day, and I'm ordering stuff to integrate wireless chargers into the vehicles.
Thanks for reading and trying to help!

I probably missed to ask before, but are you sure you are using the original cable, together with the original power charger?
As stressed by @DeadlySin9 the problem may be the cable. Try other cables.

Yeah, I had tried the original cord and charger. whatever it was effected the phone before even plugging it in. The message would be there in the notifications, then plugging the cable in would set off an "alarm" telling me to unplug it and let it dry.
A couple weeks later and it is working just fine, charging with pretty much any cord, and charger. Ugh. I hope it stays that way! LOL At least Sprint DID give me a pretty good discount on a 2 pack of wireless chargers, which is what I use most of the time, now.

Thumbs up!
So, I've had this problem with my new Galaxy s9 as well. Here's the specifics - this only happens IF the phone dies from running out of power. If I let the battery drain on accident, I plug in the device...new cord/charger, original cord/charger, doesn't matter...and it shows the charging symbol for just a second, and then warning there's moisture in the charging port. There's not... If I set the phone on top of a wireless charging pad for a few mins, it charges just fine.
All I have to do is get 3 - 4 % so I can power on the device and get to the home screen. If I can get to the home screen, I can plug the phone in with the cord/charger and no problems.
I just did a warranty replacement because this problem is real annoying. I don't let the phone run out of power often, but sometimes when I'm traveling for work or camping with scouts, it happens. So, before I sent my old phone back for the warranty swap, I let the new phone run out of power and then tried to plug it in. Same error!!
If anyone has this problem follow this trick. "connect the charger half to the charging port." that is it. works fine to me..
