• Samsung has released a new video advising what to do if your Galaxy phone shows a moisture detection warning.
• After the more common suggestions to address the issue, the video advises that you clear the USBSettings app cache.
• This novel fix suggests that the detection system software might just need a reboot once the port is dry.

If you’re ever having a problem with a website or app, a techie might advise you to try clearing the cache. It’s one of those catch-all fixes, second only perhaps to the classic “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” Samsung has the same approach, apparently, suggesting that it might be an unlikely solution if your Galaxy phone shows a moisture detection warning that won’t go away.

The moisture detection warning is meant to appear if a liquid is detected in your phone’s USB charging port. Samsung India just released a helpful video running through things you should do if you get the droplet notification on your Galaxy device. It covers the common practical steps, such as unplugging the charger, cleaning the port and connector, letting the phone dry out, and so on.
