Galaxy S7 Fast Charge

[IamPROJECT]

Hey guys, 

After coming home and parking in the street near my house after work, it was raining really hard. I was using my Galaxy S7 phone as a flashlight (because I needed to find my keys, doorknob, etc.) but I heard about how waterproof the S7 was so I didn't think much of it getting wet. Anyways, when I got in the house I wiped off all of the water on the outside of the phone, and put it straight on the fast charger. When I put it on there it said that there was moisture on the inside of the charging port and that I needed to dry it out. I followed the troubleshooting tips on the Samsung website by gently shaking the phone so as to get the excess water out of the charging port, as well as gently blowing into it. I waited a half hour before putting it back on, and it started charging, only exception is that it would only regularly charge, and would not fast charge. Strange. When I woke up this morning I tried charging it again, but again, it would only regularly charge and not fast charge. I made sure the port was absolutely clear of water, as well as made sure that fast charging was enabled in settings. Check, and check. Now it still won't fast charge, and I couldn't find anything online on how to fix it. I could really use some help. Thanks all.

This is happening because the phone isn't communicating with the charger. Either the charger is damaged or the phone is. If the phone fast charges on other fast chargers then the damaged fast charger had a bad data connection, damaged from the water. You may be lucky, if the cable is damaged then you can replace that. If the phone doesn't fast charge on any fast charger, then it's much more serious. That would mean the USB port on the phone can no longer send data.
