CRC QD contact cleaner is what did it for me. Thank you so much. I picked mine up at Home Depot for $7.98.

I thoroughly sprayed my USB port with this stuff, and the problem immediately went away, and I wanted to tell the world. But I waited, because I know so many times, these solutions have not lasted. And then the problem came back. And I sprayed it a couple more times. And then I left it unplugged overnight to give the solvents a chance to thoroughly evaporate. And have not had any problems since. That was night before last.

There is some possibility that my previous cleaning attempts were important. But I doubt it.

I think CRC 2-26 or CRC electrical silicone lubricant might be good for preventing this problem from returning.

I stopped being able to charge my phone with a USB cable some time ago, and got to the point where my phone was beeping about moisture every 5 minutes even when it was unplugged. I tried everything, and none of it worked.

Things I tried that didn't work:

Scrubbing the port with 91% isopropyl alcohol and a toothpick and bits of paper towel.

Scrubbing the port with 91% isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.

Disabling moisture detection via typing: *#546368#*model#

replacing "model" with your model number - mine is 872,

into the dial pad, going to the service menu, and disabling moisture detection. I went back to that menu and verified that the setting saved, but it did freaking nothing. (Warning that this will reboot your phone immediately.)

Killing the LG system server: Go into your settings > apps and notifications > apps info > click the 3 dots top right corner > click show system > scroll all way to lg system server > click on it and then click force stop.

I wouldn't recommend using anything metal for this, out of concern for damaging the contacts.

It's such a huge relief to be done with this problem. And I'm a little happy to have ended up with a solution that left moisture detection intact.

Has anyone flashed a custom rom and got this issue fixed?

hey Darxus, which one did you buy? CRC 2-26 or the contact cleaner?

This is how i fixed the moisture notification issue

This is not a bug or malfunction. I faced the same issue 2 days back and this is how i fixed it. When you travel from cold to warm area its possible that the air inside your waterproof phone could gets condensed. With this notification its trying to alert the moisture locked inside the phone ans not just on the usb port. Mositure locked inside the phone could short circuit ans even blow up the phone hence lg has this safety feature. Thia is an issue with most waterproof phones. To solve i did this.

Remove your sim card slot..thats the only way out for moisture once you dry it up. Get a hand drier and force the air on all the edges including the sim slot..then appply the same over the screen and over the back of the phone. Dont over heat. Be patient. After doing this i was able to charge. Next morning faced the same issue. Could be coz thr trapped air got condensed again that failed to escape post heating up. Used hair dryer again and its fixed. I no longer face the issue.. Its an awesome safety feature by lg. You have an awesome phone that values your safety. Be proud of it.

I had the issue for one day, went into the maintenance settings to disable to moisture detection. Then the phone charged intermittently for a day then the problem disappeared entirely, no problem for a month now.

Can't say what the cause really was, just glad that whatever it was went away.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NardVa:
I had the moisture detection issue the other day. I turned my phone off and let it sit in my car for a few hours during a sunny afternoon . The sun dried out the moisture in my phone and it's back to normal.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I had this issue. My back glass got cracked and i assumed moisture gets in via there. I tried flipping the charge cable so that the smooth side was facing up and that worked for a while until i replaced my charge cable and it was good on both sides. Before that, i removed my sim tray and left the phone in rice overnight and cleaned the usb port with methylated spirit and a toothpick. I'm not sure.what fixed it.but thats what i did.

Nb: any one of you guys ever decaled your phone or replaced the back screen and retained waterproofing?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubermanr:
I have been dabbling with this moisture issue for quite a while on my g6

But thankfully i found a trick to atleast have normal charging if not fast charging...the trick is first plug your charger then as soon as you get the moisture error unplug it and plug it immediately and there ya go...

P.s if you do this trick and you still get the error you weren't fast enough also if you were very fast and it still didnt work then either port is bad or you actually have moisture or debris in your port

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Once you open your phone up the waterproofing gets damaged all you can do to fix that is get the lg proprietary waterproofing compound/adhesive or get a aftermarket one but generally no shop helps you retain the waterproofing.....

P.s if its just the back glass panel that is replaced without opening the phone or without changing the whole back apparatus your waterproofing should be just fine

What worke for me

What worked for me (and is not my phone its the one of my gf) , hmmm as any dev i closed the machine.....Then i used a new cable plugged into my pc (phone still closed) and let it be, its charging without prompt of any kind.

For us the problem started when she got out with the phone in a moistured day.

I wish it help some and you as well.

Update and reply on waterproofing

Hi, sorry for the obnoxious quotes, still new here, thought id give an update on my fix and a reply on waterproofing.

I ended up replacing the rear panel because it shattered whilst i was replacing the typre c connector. The new type c connector is working perfectly, and fixed any and all issues, and is going over half a year stong.

The oem and aftermarket rear panels seem to have a flexible plastic film or lining on the inside of the 'tempered glass' plastic panel which i assume contributes to the weatherproofing. My original panel that got completely shattered didnt even break through that part, so unless theres a hole in the back i dont think water is getting through it.

I did however replace the rear panel at the time and used b-7000 glue in a grey tube off amazon . It works absolutely fine and imo works better than pre-glued panels or strips. I did have to reinstall it as the fingerprint button wasnt lined up inside. In terms of longevity i cycle almost daily with it in my pocket and use it in bad weather, so rain and sweat have not been a problem. Even after i cracked the screen again shortly after the repair... and cracked the rear panel in 2 seperate places... and the camera lens...

I have the same problem with my phone keeps telling me moisture, has not been wet and its ****en annoying, have cleaned it no dirt showing checked with a torch. I would not buy another LG its meant to be water proof funny ha ha. I would not recommend anyone to buy one either,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whynotletmeusemyemailaddr:
I strongly suggest keeping torches away from the phone. Maybe a hairdryer on mild setting or leaving it in rice overnight.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] theenlightened1:
Nothing was working for me.. I even factory reset it.. reflashed the FW using LGUP.. still the same error.. port was clean but error was showing.. what fixed mine was remove the sim tray and rebooting.. now its fast charging with no sim cards... go figure!!

Will let it charge to 100% and then run a complete battery of tests by connecting to computer and other chargers... this is SO annoying...

I have the 997 and had this moisture issue about a year ago and it went away in a couple days. Now within weeks of my 2 year warranty expiring it came back and hasn't went away for weeks. I've only been able to charge wirelessly. I was able to charge once just by changing from a 2.4 amp port on my car's cig adapter to the regular amp port (not sure what amp that is, probably 1 amp) and that worked...once. I was able to get into the service menu as described here and disable moisture detection and it does charge with the cable now. I always have my phone in either the side pocket on my pants or usually zipped up in the front phone pocket on my jacket and it's rarely been wet...by wet i mean a few drops of rain occasionally, but none of those times coincided with this moisture warning. After reading this whole thread the only thing that makes sense is moisture condensed inside the phone or a defective port. I've cleaned my port with isopropyl alcohol several times and I don't see anything in the port. I've tried most of the fixes except the heat gun/hair dryer, which I don't really want to do as I don't think it's good to heat up your whole phone on purpose. I might try removing the sim leaving it in a warm place and see if that fixes it without having to disable the moisture detection.

Having this issue for years now, tried almost everting only found only one solution solution.

Installed costum recovery, booting in that recovery while plugged in then only its charging. any suggestion? tried cleaning, drying, all kind of roms, taking sim slot off.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] badcrcs:
Good luck, ever since I posted my problem in January I've had it come back 2-3 times. It happened again last month and it's not going away. Not one of the times was my phone wet. Usually I can disable the moisture detection and get it to charge by plugging in USB repeatedly and after 4-10 attempts it will charge. I have three cords and now I'm thinking the cord contacts might be the problem because they never seem to charge one direction, but when I flip them they charge after several attempts. A few times I couldn't get it to charge at all with the cord, so I turned the phone off then plugged in the cord and the moisture icon comes up on the black screen, but if I unplugged the cord before the warning icon came up and plugged it in real quick again it would charge. The easiest thing I found is just to wireless charge, but that's a pain in the car. Mine doesn't come up with the moisture warning with the moisture detection disabled, until I try to charge with a cord.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] greenlantern2014:
I know that this is an old thread without any new activity. This reply is for anyone still trying to fix the bugging notifications from LG system server that moisture is detected. This is how I solved my problem (sort of hide the problem under the proverbial carpet).

This won't work if you actually have a hardware problem of moisture in your charger contacts or other peripherals. This cannot even be called a 'fix'. It will only hide the constantly bugging notifications. For me, that was the issue that I wanted to solve; I didn't have any moisture in the contacts or charging issues.

On a G6, go to, settings -> general -> Apps and notifications -> notifications -> apps. Click on the 3 dots and click on "show system" -> LG system server. Under categories, look for "check usb port" and change it to " Low: no sound or visual interruption".

I also changed the importance of "app scaing" to low. If your settings menu is different, the above instructions will give you an idea on how to navigate.

This turned off all notifications from LG system server. Even if you actually have any moisture in your usb, you will not receive any notifications. No big deal for me. The way I reasoned is that if I had a phone which didn't have the "moisture detected" feature, I would have taken care of the phone and won't rely on the phone to notify me of any moisture in the usb contacts. You are essentially downgrading the G6 to such a phone!!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] greenlantern2014:
What I assumed is that, the phone measures any current flow between the contacts of the usb port to determine whether moisture is present or not. As the usb gets older, a small play develops between the male and female contacts of the charger and the usb port, which causes them to not overlap 100% when plugged it, making partial contact with the adjacent contacts. This triggers the moisture detection feature.

At first I would also flip the charger usb cable and get it to work. Later, it worked for me if I ever so slightly move the charger usb end left or right while inserting it in to the charging port of the phone. YMMV.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] badcrcs:
Could be, but what's strange is the last couple times I disabled moisture detection and rebooted and just used wireless charging for a week or so. I made sure to reboot a couple times before trying USB again. The last couple times doing that it went away for months. After I posted that last time I did that and it hasn't happened since.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] UltimateSuperstar:
my solution is to forget it. yes very easy just turn off the phone and dont even touch it 1 ( if you can 2 ) day. to try different things apps codes etc. makes it worse, just give your phone a time to rest :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] badcrcs:
I posted last year that I was getting this moisture error and various things I tried, similar to things other people posted. One of the first things I tried was cleaning my usb port, so I ruled that out right away. A few weeks ago I went to plug in one of my cords and it wouldn't click in. The phone would charge but the cord would just fall out. I thought someone stepped on the cord so I tossed it in the trash and got another cord which did the same thing. I fished my other cord out of the trash because two cords couldn't suddenly be bad.

I got a needle and figured at this point I had nothing to lose and started scraping around inside the usb port carefully, but forcefully. At first nothing came out. Then I got a decent chunk of lint on the needle that was formed to the shape of the connector. I repeated that several times until nothing came out. I ended up with 3 large pieces of lint that looked like flattened string that was jam packed in the bottom of the usb port. Not only did my cords all work, but my phone charges perfectly every time now. If I had a digital microscope or decent magnifier maybe I could have seen that lint i there but the port appeared fine beforehand, and as I said, I've attempted to clean it a few times with isopropyl alcohol and barely got anything out. At one point I turned the phone off and soaked the port with isopropyl alcohol and dried it with a heat gun on low for a while when I was getting the moisture error, to no avail.

I'd suggest anyone with any phone with a moisture error or charging cord problem to really check the port for debris. I was convinced since the start that I never had moisture in the port, and after seeing the lint I think it was just shorting out the pins. Now I purchased port plugs. That was a chore in itself because almost none of the silicone plugs fit snugly. If you buy port plugs get the ones with the ridges to hold them in place, or the hard plastic ones with the handle to pull them out.

Hey anyone connected their device via UART?

If possible can someone DD system, boot, bootloader, dtb, etc and send me the files?

Why cant i grab a mibox update and unpack?

Is it just me, or does the Google camera port for Moto x4 doesn't support portrait mode for back camera (despite having dual rear cameras)?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] abrfilho:
The GCam portrait mode doesn't require a dual camera setup, the software do the cut and blur the background.

I'm using Arnova Pixel2Mod 8.1 and works as intended, but just to clarify, portrait mode only works with faces, if you're trying to do that with an object, use the Lens Blur mode.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] justyoguy:
There is no lens blur feature in the port.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] abrfilho:
Which port?

If you're using official rom for the X4 use this port https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/.../GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] surroundedbydrones:
There's no Google camera port for the X4, in any variant.

There are hundreds of Google camera ports, many of which function in limited or mostly limited capacity on the X4, though. Portrait mode works fine with the rear camera, as well as the front camera.

These portrait shots were taken with a Google camera port on my X4. (rear cam)

Ah, but the proximity of the subject has to be more here, than in the stock camera app
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] surroundedbydrones:
Not necessarily; I don't share more personal portraits (of people) but it takes portraits well at distance, in fact, Google is on record with its philosophy of almost forcing more distance with its default 1.5x zoom in portrait mode.

I'll look at the exif/metadata and check to see what the farthest distance in my portrait shots are. Several feet, at least, in some.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] justyoguy:
You are mistaken. Unless the subject is really close to the camera and HDR is on, the portrait mode doesn't really make a difference. I tried it on a variety on subject at various distances, and the result was more or less the same.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] surroundedbydrones:
I'm not mistaken.

You don't know what camera port/version I used - that's number one. Number two, you don't have my camera samples, number three, you don't have my exif data.

I get two pictures, one with the entire scene in focus, and another with a different focal plane. And yes, at distance. Whether or not the ports and environments you work with can reproduce those outcomes is another story. But I'm not mistaken about anything.

Max focal distance for the portrait shots I have is around 8 feet. It may go farther, it may not. That's just a quick check.
