Check USB port for moisture

[fujiteam]

I ordered my phone 370 days ago, so more than a year. I was just overseas on vacation and my phone started to tell me the USB port had moisture. It doesn't. I was able to charge it by turning the phone off, then plugging it in. As soon as I unplugged it when it was on the notification came back. It is a verzion phone so I would have to root to turn off this malfunctioning protection.

Any advice? It looks like resetting doesn't do anything based on other internet surfaces. It is really pissing me off that this is days past my warranty. I bought square trade on the phone, but $100 for a 370 day old device that is malfunctioning because LG can;t make a phone is absurd.

Condensation can cause moisture. So can dirt that's holding moisture. Use canned air to blow out the charging port area. At worst, the charging port is damaged (or wet inside due to condensation) and the phone will have to go to a repair shop (which won't cost much less than the $100 ST wants).

Is this a v30? If so that's what I have and I've never seen that warning. Mines with TMobile but that shouldn't batter. I use mine by a steamy hot tub all the time...

Take it by a dealer. This phone has the LG 2 year warranty

I had the same issue with my LG 6 and the only resolution was to contact LG and send it in for warranty repair. They replaced the USB port and I haven't had any issues since.

Some combination of different charging cables, submerging the phone, a hair dryer, and nail polish remover seems to have worked for the time being.

What do you mean by dealer? Like Best Buy or Verizon?

Is your LG V30 still holding up okay, OP?

Yup, no issues for the last few days

That's so awesome!
