Suddenly, when plugged up with my normal, factory-provided charger, it was saying that there was moisture detected. I'd turned off the phone and restarted it, but it still kept popping up. I've only had that happen when trying to use a standard USB charger that isn't adaptive fast charging for the Samsung Galaxy S7.
So, I looked at some troubleshooting and decided to take a cotton swab and gently swabbed the port with dry cotton, and it's working now. So it must actually have somehow detected some humidity. It's snowing outside, so I'm assuming the air isn't the normal winter 'dry'. I've had the phone for a year or more now, though, and it's never done that, at least with the charger that came with it.
I pulled out my box (with the quick start guides and the SIM-card drawer key) and the only other thing that came with the phone, a caddy with earbuds (which I don't use; I use my old S5 ones because I don't like the S7 shape of the buds, so I use them as a backup, only. Inside is one other thing, a USB to micro USB connector that, for the life of me, I have no idea as to why it was included with the phone when it came with a transfer USB to micro USB cable as part of the charger, and those sorts of cables are ubiquitous. I just never got it. I typed 'what is the purpose of the USB micro USB connector that comes with the galaxy s7' into Google and it's for Smart Switch, the Samsung method of transferring files from one phone to another device. Still, I found it kind of weird. They did mine in-store using their Wi-Fi, except for the applications, as I had about 500 of those (I had 750 the other day, and I thought perhaps I should delete some I don't use. But that's the number that comes up on the scans, and probably included pre-loaded ones). So since I was trying out the charger and cables anyway, I'm backing up my photos and music (that are already on a microSD card) further, by putting them on to my laptop. It's about a third of the way through the music. The pictures didn't take that much time; the estimated time for the music is one hour and 15 minutes. I don't think it's going to take that long, though.
YKWIA and I have had our custard and nog. The animals, who were fed late, are fed and the dogs are out for a bit in the snow. It's not really accumulating, really, just tiny amounts. The laundry, which I've done in a leisurely manner, is almost finished. I did the dog blankets and YKWIA's bedding, too. [He accidentally fell asleep with a cup of tea in his hand last night, and spilt the whole thing, practically]. Tomorrow I plan on doing my bedding and clothes.
I had planned to listen to some music, stretching out on the bed, when the charging thing happened. I went from 60% to less than 40% in very short order trying to figure it all out. But it's charging now, albeit not as quickly as when plugged into the wall, given that it's plugged into the laptop. We're over halfway to the music backup being finished, so yeah, it's going pretty quickly.
Okay, that's all for now. May your Christmas Eve be pleasant and warm.
