I have been having a problem with my Nexus 4 jumping between AC and USB charging while using the supplied Wall Plug and Cable. I originally thought the wall plug was the problem so I got an exact replacement from Best Buy Mobile (OEM Part Number LG MCS-01WR).
The problem continued with the replacement charger and the original USB cable. I then figured it may be a good idea to look at the cable next. Then I noticed something I think is strange. Micro USB usually has 5 gold pins and the Nexus 4 OEM cable is missing pin number 4 (looking left to right). From what I understand that missing pin is what identifies the phone to whatever it is connected to.
Does everyone have a cable that is missing this Pin?
