Steps
Unplug the charger and any cable as soon as the moisture detected warning or water drop icon appears. Do not plug anything back in yet.
Turn the phone so the speaker grille and the charging port both face downward. Gravity helps pull the water out while you work.
Set the media volume to 100 percent and switch off Bluetooth so the sound plays through the phone speaker, not headphones.
Play the water eject sound at full volume for about 30 seconds with the speaker still facing down.
Repeat the sound two or three more times, tilting the phone slightly each round so different speaker holes can drain.
Play the tone one last time, then wipe the speaker grille and port opening gently with a dry cloth.
Test the speaker with a song or a call. If it still sounds muffled or crackly, run the sound cycle again.
Leave the charging port facing down in a dry room for at least an hour before you try charging again.
Tips and common mistakes
Skip the hair dryer and compressed air, since heat and pressure can push water deeper or damage the speaker and mic.
Never poke a pin, cotton bud or paper clip into the USB-C port, as the contacts bend easily.
If the moisture warning is still there after drying, wait longer rather than forcing the charger in.
Water eject sounds only shift loose droplets, so a phone that fell in water needs proper drying time.
Questions
How long does the water eject sound take to work?
Most people hear a clearer speaker after two or three 30 second rounds. If the sound is still muffled after five rounds, stop and let the phone air dry overnight.
Can I charge my Samsung while the moisture detected warning is showing?
No. Keep the cable out and the port facing down until the warning clears on its own, or the port can corrode or short.
Does this work on the charging port too?
The sound only vibrates the speaker area. For the port, tilt it downward and let air dry it, since a tone cannot push water out of the connector.
