False moisture alert on car charger only keeps new s7 from charging in car

[Android Central Question]

Is there a fix for "moisture detected" alert that only happens on a car chager and keeps phone from charging? I'm talking new out of the box, 4 separate S7 devices. It's not the charger or voltage. Has to be thr devices though none have an issue plugged into a wall.

Have you tried a different car charger?

I'm talking new out of the box, 4 separate S7 devices.

Are you talking 4 separate S7 "phones" or chargers?

Try changing the cable first. If that doesn't work, change the charger. If it works with the wall charger, it has to be the car charger or the cable. (The phone doesn't know the difference - it sees 5 Volts applied to the charging pins - but some other signal is coming in on another pin, and there are only 4 wires coming from the charger, at most. If it's not a fast charger, there are only the 2 charging wires.)
