Note 8 charging port got wet, won't fast charge

[Jesus Delgadillo]

So last night somehow my phone got wet while I was driving and a notification appeared that the charging port was moist, to "let it dry" well it's been like 12 hours since that happened and I put my phone back to charge, and it won't fast charge at all. What can i do?

Try a hair dryer, on low, and keep it away from the port. You'll also save a lot of wear on the port if you go wireless charging.

I dropped my s7edge in the ocean. I used a mini vac and the moisture detected alert went away.

How long did it take you? Cause I just used the hair dryer for like 5 minutes and now it won't detect the charger at all

About a minute or so. I focused on the chart port area and it started working.

I did, it just says "cable charging"

Yeah, this is abnormal. I've immersed my S7 Edge, Note 7, and S8+ in water (not the Note 8 yet!), and after a couple hours I'm always able to use the USB port as normal.

Dumb question: have you tried restarting your phone?

Sounds like some kind of glitch if your phone was in your car.

Yeah i restarted the phone about 4 times already

I'm guessing I'm the only one with this issue

Yikes. Tough break. Sorry that happened. Maybe take it to your carrier and see if you can switch it out?

UPDATE: Took it to T-Mobile and got it exchanged, and the whole performance of the phone overall is even better. The charging speeds are much quicker.
