So yesterday my phone started freaking out. It started flashing the usb notification and sound as if I was plugging in the phone and unplugging it rapidly, even thought I was plugging nothing in. To see what happen if I actually did plug something in I tied pluggin in the power adaptor and I got the "Moisture In USB Port" warning. My phone has not come into contact with any moisture, and even it somehow had it has been nearly 24 hours and I still get the warning when I try to plug it in. The rapid usb notification happened once again this morning but hasn't happened again since. What is going on? I can't charge my phone unless I turn it off.
Moisture In USB Port Warning

Same situation here. I tried to put G6 in a rice over night, without help.
Also I put my device on a coffee machine several hours to get rid of "phantom moisture", without any results at all. I think it's now software related problem.
By the way i can't charge my battery over 50%, to charge it until 50% I need to restart device with attached USB. By the way notification with vibration effect every second is freaking me out.
If someone find any solution please share...

Problem solved for me
I took my phone to spain and it had loads of sand on it by the beach. I couldn't charge due to the moisture warning for 3 days. Eventually i found a solution. I loaded that sink with about 2/3rds water. I swilled only the port area in the sink. I then dried the phone as well as possible. I screwed a thin tissue paper up and dabbed round the port. I then found a rectangle piece of card (it was a clothes price tag) it was probably 1 millimetre thick and i pushed it in deep into the usb port to aid cleaning using the corners of the tag. It solved the issue and didnt break anything and cleaned out some of the deep sand and cotton that wasnt drying at 30 celicus heat this week. Saved me claiming on my insurance and the headache of installing all my apps etc. Try it, but be very careful with the card tag as you dont want to break any terminals in the usb slot.

I had the same issue as the original poster about a month ago. I have spent the last few weeks testing and found that for me changing developer settings back to "charging" from "file transfer" has worked. Not saying it will work for you but give it a try!
Having the same issue now. No reason to think much moisture got in. Sat it in rice, etc. Haven't tried washing the port. Anyway, I can charge if I turn on airplane mode then boot into safe mode holding volume down plus power. The moment I plug in, it powers on unless the battery is totally dead. And it never charges close to full even then without the above workaround. Planning on taking the phone in. It's annoying, and my battery life seems shorter with the constant almost-notifications (which started out looking like they came from a variety of apps). Hopefully there's an official solution.
Fix for moisture detected
The contacts in the usb c are loose and may be cross connecting. I fixed mine by taking the charge cable type c end and squeezing them lightly with needle nosed pliers so the flat sides were BARELY concave. This fixed the problem and I am able to use the original cable to fast charge again.

This kinda sorta is working for me. I can slowly move an unplugged USB cable in the port and trigger the notification pop up. As opposed to constantly this now happens intermittently. It started after getting my phone wet. 1 bowl of rice later and the moisture error is gone, but the USB debugging notification appears and disappears rapidly every so often.
Moisture issue, nothing is working?
Reboot with it already plugged in does not help. My phone will NOT stay off now? Every time I select "power off" it restarts as soon as I plug it in. I have no clue what to try now. Seeing if draining my battery will help. Light moisture contact days ago but nothing more than droplets.

For those who're still having issues, the following worked for me:
1. Power off the phone and then power it back on. (This alone should help but if you have power savings mode enabled, carry out step #2)
2. If you have power savings enabled, turn it off and then power the phone off and back on.

I've had the same problem. Moisture warning while it's not the case. Lated 3 days and suddenly it was gone. Phone restarted also when trying to charge with power off. Sometimes after couple of restarts it would load. And connecting the cable very shortly helped also someone. It seems to me that it is a bug in the devices because we are not alone with this problem
At least you aren't alone
Same problem happened to me. It was a slow over a week process. First a flashing usb icon I had never seen before then every one in awhile the usb moisture warning started popping up here and there. Still I'm not alarmed. Flash forward to a week later (today) and not only can't I charge my phone passed 4% (after the airplane mode trick seemed to have worked but only briefly) I brought it to Verizon I tried wirelessly charging and using two other corded charges and nothing would make it less than 2 hrs and 30 mins charge time then it's turn on and just die again. Employee was familiar with the prob gave me the warranty # and ill have my new phone tomorrow. In the mean time I've discovered of the 5 places i tried to charge my phone including the Verizon store all power sources were ports or extension cords etc . I found that plugging it into the wall outlet works. Shocker right? Well I hope that the make sure its charger to outlet revelation for myself helps others as they wait for the new phones...:laugh:

I plugged my phone into a computer USB port and switched the USB options to Charge Only and Always and the moisture warning went away.
Had this problem for more then month, and this is how I managed to get rid off that moisture message.
1: Go to Apps>Configure Apps (3 dots menu in upper right corner)>Special access>Modify system settings>Show system (3 dots menu in upper right corner)>LG System server - turn off "Allow write system settings"
2: Apps>Show system (3 dots menu in upper right corner)>LG System server - Turn on "Silent"
Of course, you must be 100% sure that is false message about moisture in USB port

If it were a problem with the phone really being wet i would say i agree, but we are talking about errors when the phone hasnt been near water or whatsoever.
This happened to me but i havent been near water with my phone, i had it lying on the table the whole evening so this is some kind of bug or faulty hardware..2Had this problem for more then month, and this is how I managed to get rid off that moisture message.
