I recently started running my humidifier again at night, and when I wake up and plug in my phone, I get this pop-up. It makes a noise even if the phone is set to silent mode, and it won't let me do anything until I unplug it. I guess the sensor must be pretty sensitive, because it's not that steamed up in the room. Has this feature been here all this time, or did it come more recently with an update?

Mine was doing that today to. Try blowing into the chargeing port and as well as taping the phone against your hand. I did that and didn't completely work so then I tried turning the phone off to charge and it it's worked fine since then

Same here as far as turning the phone off, I just turned it off and plugged it in, then when it rebooted it didn't give me that pop up anymore. Thanks.
If nothing works you need to take it to your carriers store and they will replace your charging port on your phone. Happened to me 2 months ago and took it in and they said that's not unusual for that to happen so they replaced my port and no issues at all now.
I am sorry to say it but it is most likely charging port problem.
Not in every case of course but it happens.
My Galaxy S8 Plus died because of faulty port.
Be careful.
In all fairness to the phone, I was running my humidifier all night long, and while it wasn't real steamy or anything, it was more so than normal.
If Still Needed..

My s9 pops up the "moisture detected" message at random. Never dropped it in liquid, dont know if changing the charging flex would do the trick?

Yeah the moisture detection on this device seems to be overly sensitive or a bit off-kilter. For me it happens with the OEM cable and also a completely different cable from a Chromebook.

Same here! It's getting worse too because I can't establish a connection to Odin and update my phone. Freaking T-Mobile never releases the U1 updates like other carriers do ?
I just started wondering if a factory reset would help, make it forget that it ever detected moisture ?

I do believe it is a little over sensitive, but I would say try cleaning your charging port.
I was getting that message off and on for months and someone said to check the port. I shined a light in and it looked fine so I didn't bother. After a few weeks it got worse so I stuck a pin in there and pulled out an unbelievable amount of compacted pocket lint...
I'm guessing pushing a little bit in adds up over time and either the sensor was being tripped by the lint or the lint was trapping moisture.
Good luck.

STANIMAL: I had the moisture detected message and there was no moisture. After many different attempts to dry it with no success I ended up looking in the charging port and noticed a ton of dust, dirt, and gunk build up. So I took a toothpick and carefully scrapped all the gunk out while holding the phone up so that the gunk would fall out. I also used a blow dryer on cold to blow any excess out and when I turned my screen back on it was no longer giving the error. You must be careful not to break pieces of the phone inside the port and also avoiding toothpick chunks becoming lodged in there. But this truly does work.

Sewing needle works the best. I've been telling people this for 3 plus years now. Type c ports are prone to dirt sweat and then being packed in everyday

STANIMAL: Right a sewing needle would work, however, i went with a toothpick because it is made of wood and therefore much less likely if not nearly impossible to damage any plastic or metal inside the charging port area. Needles are strong metals and very sharp, can damage other metals and plastics.

During the storm this past weekend somebody (me) spilled a drink on my phone when the power went out. I immediately took the battery out and tried to dry out the phone as much as I could. The next day I powered up the phone only to find out that I could not make phone calls using the earpiece. Speaker phone and Bluetooth works fine. I also discovered that media will not play through the speaker although plugging headphones in works fine...the ringer and notifications work fine. Other than that, the phone works great. I tried flashing another ROM to see if just maybe it was a software thing...it wasn't.
The real issue is that I don't have insurance or store warranty coverage and my bootloader is unlocked. There is also signs of moisture on the phone. For now I can live with it, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew of any other options I could try. Or...maybe there is a way to redirect the sound??? Please help!!!

If the phone works in general... then most likely a specific piece is ruined related to the phone speaker/mic.
You can try tearing apart the phone ( I believe there are tear down guides online) and then using rubbing alcohol try to clean out any corrosion, especially around components that are having issues.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to try to replace the component. unfortunately not sure how easy that is. Tons of components sold for iphones but doubt as much for atrix.

Yeah, I was thinking of that as an option...being optimistic, I was gonna try to use the phone for a few days and see if it miraculously clears up...wishful thinking
I bet your Atrix will revive once the hangover subsides!
No really, it will be ok I'm sure, I've seen cases where people inmerse their devices into pools and toilets only to discover a few days later that they keep on ticking.
The clue here is to be patient and keep it from using it for several days, and I'm talking 3, 5 or even a week! So be very patient.
Remove the battery and let it dry inside a bag, box or bottle filled with uncooked rice or if you have plenty of dry bags (those that come inside some medicines or electronics) use them!
Try not to disassemble the Atrix to avoid dust contamination, but if you wan't you can go ahead and do it. The Atrix is very easy to disassemble. Just use common sense, and if you use alcohol to get rid of moisture and corrosion, be wary that even cotton or cotton swabs can be dangerous since there are components that are cold-soldered onto the motherboard and can be peeled-off very easily.
Don't use a hair dryer, since you could damage the plastic if not used correctly.
Let us know how it goes!

I sat it in rice over night, and used a blow dryer on cool but still not dice so far. Unfortunately I don't have any other form of comms other than my Atrix...I may go and buy a cheap Go Phone to use and let the Atrix take a nap. I will be patient...I'm thinking that it will wake up one day and everything will be OK
Atrix = featherweight!!!
So if the only part that's not working at the moment is the ear speaker, then maybe you can get a spare from cnn.cn and replace it yourself. Very easy to do by the way.
The bad thing is that I think they don't sell the speaker alone, but the whole modular assembly that contains the speaker, power button and biometric scanner. But check the site above to verify.

Was it a mixed or sugary drink? It could've pooled up in your speaker into something sticky. You might want to try cleaning it with alcohol disassembled. Or even dabbing it with alcohol while assembled but leave battery out and let dry at least a day. Each time you dab it with alcohol, try sopping it back up with a dry q tip.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Unfortunately it isn't just the speaker, media will not play through the loudspeaker either...kinda weird because the speaker phone works just fine. Also, game sounds don't play. I'm thinking it might be an amplifier or something.
It was a mixed drink so it did have some sugar in it.
I dropped my atrix in the toilet. It was only in there for 2 seconds max, but I dried it off and tried to see if everything still worked. None of the speakers worked, but I put it in a bowl of rice for a couple of hours in the Texas heat, afterwards everything was working fine.
I have taken my Atrix for about a 10 minute swim, after jumping in the pool with it on my hip in an otterbox defender case. I felt something on my hip and noticed my phone there! I immediately jumped out of the pool, removed the case and battery. Dried what I could with a towel. Then put the phone in rice for about 3 hours. I then took the phone out of the rice and gave it another bath in alcohol, swishing the phone around to make sure the alcohol got every where the water got... I then let the phone sit for 4 days next to a floor vent in my house. Not directly on the vent. After the four days I tried powering the phone on. The phone powered on with no problems(no sim or memory card.) I then put my sim and memory card in, plugged in the phone and tried powering the phone on again, an it would not power on.
I then took the phone apart(not completely did not dis-connect any ribbon cables etc..) and used a q-tip and rubbing alochol to wipe any contacts that I thought might have signs of oxidation or water damage. Put the phone back together and let it sit again next to a vent for another 3 days. Put my sim, memory card and batter back in and the phone powered up with no problem.
I am currently using the atrix, the only thing that does not work is the front facing camera. It just doesn't seem to want to power up... but that is something I can live with. I did even after the 7 days had some moisture between the LCD and digitizer, so I let the phone sit in my hot car for an hour or two of an on to help get rid of the moisture.
Hope this helps.. I would recommend if you see any moisture to turn the phone off and let it sit, as if you can see moisture, there is also probably some that you cannot see and could cause more damage.

what's really funny are people that put their phone up for public sale, are honest enough to mention that it was dropped in the toilet and still want market value and not the best offer. what kind of crap is that? it's my valuable crap?
Thanks for all of the help...you guys are the greatest...I will buy a backup before I tear the phone open...but I think cracking it open is in order...I think the moisture is gone but the sugar may have coated something.

It's definitely the port.
Take your phone battery out.
Get some methylated spirits. If you can't get that, get some rubbing alcohol. Don't use anything else.
Take your phone battery out.
Get a sewing needle or pin, or safety pin. Use that to scrape out any lint and run it along the length of each of the 5 usb contacts (very very delicately). Make a tiny ball of tissue paper (less then a millimetre in diameter) and soak it lightly with methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol and push it around inside the port. it must be small enough not to bend or damage the protruding usb pins and plastic support.
Did you take your phone battery out? OK put it back in and plug in the USB and see what happens. Make sure you are using you AC charger for this. Sometimes it won't charge off a low current USB connection, if the battery is that discharged.
I had your exact symptoms and this solution fixed the problem permanently for me.

My phone had the exact same problem, wish I had the explanation you just got. I had to improvise as mine went weird 3 days after release! But do what the replier said, it will fix it permanently, and don't be afraid, better doing it yourself than having to flash a stock ROM in order to remove CWM which I assume you have, and sending it back. Don't be a wuss!

Like 6 -7 months ago,
Okay, so my mom dropped her Photon in a bucket of soapy water while she was trying to wash her car. She immediately took out the battery and tried to get most of the water out. She also put it under a fan to dry out for about 3-4 hours... then she plugged it in to charge! 0_0 (I wasn't there to tell her not to plug it in yet...) Few minutes after, I came home from school and she told me. I immediately rushed upstairs and unhooked it from the charger, and took out the battery. We put it in rice and left in there for some days. Finally I had the courage to plug it in. When I did, NOTHING. My mom mentioned something about it saying RSD protocol or something. At that point, I lost all hope and stashed it in the dead phone pile.
9/15/2012
I plugged the phone in, the green LED lit. I feel a vibrate, the 4 capacative buttons light. I hit the volume toggles; I hear the Android ding! Vibrate and LED also works! But guess what? The screen is just black... When you plug the Photon into the computer, you hear the notification sound on the Photon, and Windows detects it as:
USB Mass Storage Device
Motorola MB855 USB Device
Motorola MB855 USB Device
Even when booting up, you don't see the red Moto logo, it's like the LCD is dead. I even think the touchscreen functionality is dead too. I really believe now that I can bring this baby back to life somehow. Guys, what can I possibly do?
Maybe try replacing the LCD and digitizer. There should be parts for it on amazon. Its a pain to replace it though. Lastly, make sure that that the motherboard doesn't have signs of corrosion. Otherwise, you'll start to notice the phones performance degrade over time and eventually give out

That's so funny.. I can't imagine a mother talking about RSD. :laugh:
I'm sure you can find spare parts on Amazon or eBay, but you can always send it to Motorola and pay for fixing it.
If you decide to fix it by yourself, be careful. After I opened my Photon I couldn't use the power button, and I wasted hours on trying to fix it.
I had a similar issue a week ago, my phone was knocked off a table into my pool. I jumped in after it, clothes and all, and picked it up off the bottom.
I immediately threw it out of the pool, yeah, threw, jumped out and did a battery pull. I let is sit in rice for a few days, opened it up, and scrubbed the contacts on the mobo with a firm toothbrush and 90% isopropyl. It's been a week to the day, and everything is running fine except the proximity sensor. So the only issues I'm having now is when I am in a call, the LCD shuts off, and obviously the screen goes non-responsive.
The proximity sensor is constantly reading that something is close.
Not to derail the thread, but any suggestions on that?
To un-derail the thread, there are only 8 torx head screws holding the phone together, took me only about 20 mins or so to open my mopho to the mobo. if you thing it's worth it, take a look and see what you can see on yours.
use hair dryer
whenever my phones got in contact with water, I used a hair dryer to dry the phones. it worked all the time.

water damage repair
Ok i repair cell phones all day and for water damage you need to remove the motherboard and soak it in alcohol for 20 minutes then take a tooth brush and scrub the whole board to remove all the corrosion and do the same to the lcd and digitizer connections its a 50/50 shot
No help on a workaround for my busted proximity sensor? I can't use the keypad when making calls.
So unexplainably my g5 started showing me this. Also plugging into charger does nothing. Don't know if factory reset would fix or if this is a hardware issue. I've been looking online but none of the genuine replacements confirm fitting this variant. Anyone have some insight to these matters?
Also that screenshot is without being plugged in. That message doesn't disappear.
That's very odd. If it doesn't actually harm anything I would just let it be. A new bottom chin is gonna cost you, but it's worth is up to you.
Btw, what font/theme are you running? It looks gorgeous

Mine did this and it drove me crazy it would act as if I was plugging and unplugging constantly..
I disassembled it cleaned it all kinds of stuff....
It seemed like the hotter the device got the worse it was
I had this exact same issue on my H850 sometime back, did you by any chance get the phone wet? Changing the bottom chin had no effect in my case, it had to be sent in for repairs and when i got it back the entire phone except the screen was replaced. If you have warranty I suggest you send the phone in and they'll likely replace all required parts.
Did some digging and it turns out that the charging port of charger and phone get dirty and when they do u have to clean them. I used rubbing alcohol. Dipped unplugged charger male end. And disconnected the bottom chin. They *ucked for like 2 minutes. Blew it out with a can of air and boom problem solved

Hi all,
Unfortunately, I've dropped my phone into the water and it sat there for 20 minutes or so. After that, I have disassembled it and left it in a container full of rice for 2 days.
Now, every time I try to do one of these:
1)Turn it on
2) Charge
3) plug it to my laptop
It shows the pocophone logo, then the empty battery logo for less than a second and the loop starts it all over again.
Please, any ideas on what can I try to do mitigate the problem? Thanks.

yr emmc died then replace motherboard.
battery and screen and back and possibly camera (if new motherboard does not include it) can probably keep.
Rice is useless. More than likely it's junk now.
You need to disassemble it and get out all the water. Water plus power equals corrosion.
Any corrosion can cause immediate failures or delayed ones even months, years latter. Connector contacts and power buses/components are particularly susceptible as well as some surface mount devices.
>Pull battery immediately!!!<
Disassemble as much as you are able to and pull all ribbon cable and other connectors.
Use anhydrous isopropyl alcohol* liberally if fresh water or RO water than isopropyl for salt water**.
Make sure the (water) alcohol gets into all switches and ribbon connector contacts.
Junk it but then get the alcohol off it fast.
Use compressed air to blow out the isopropyl alcohol as much as possible. It will take a few minutes, be careful with the air pressure.
Place in a warm dry place with fan on it until all water is gone.
I salvaged my Buds case like this after it fell to the bottom of my coffee (yes it had lots of sugar in it) cup. Couldn't disconnect the battery so I just pull the top inside cover off, flooding with water first then isopropyl alcohol. Had no compressed air so I used a blower bulb then let it sit in the sun on the dashboard. Total time from dunk to sun bake was about 3 minutes.
_Time is of the essence_ especially if the battery is in it. You have minutes (maybe) not hours.
A year later (surprisingly) the case still charges and functions normally.
*Do not use isopropyl alcohol on older LCD displays as it will poison them; they are open on the sides.
It should be 99% isopropyl alcohol not 70%!
Anhydrous isopropyl alcohol attracts moisture from the air so low humidity is best. ESD damage is possible but the water is a bigger threat.
It's also flammable but not extremely just don't get stupid about it.
**salt water has near a 100% mortality rate no matter what you do.
Coffee with sugar... there's a chance

I would at least take the cover off, unplug the battery and leave in a warm dry place with a fan on it for at least a few days.
If any water is still present it will likely fail.
Turns out, as soon as the new battery drained the problem were back, exactly the same as before, it seems the phone has lost its capacity of charging the battery. Everything was working fine while the battery was charged, screen, speakers, phone calls. I will take the phone to a professional next week, let's see if they can figure it out. If you guys have any suggestions on what could be done I would appreciate as well.

Hi guys, let me just let register how was the closure for the case.
I have taken the phone to a technician, the phone was disassembled and had its parts washed with isopropyl alcohol. The procedure bring it back to life, it been more than a week so far it has been working fine.
