Any additional details about this limitations?
I'm wondering if it is like my son's old phone. To allow for placing a cover over the USB connector, they recessed the micro-B connector by a millimeter or so. The cable that came with the phone worked fine but most of my cable collection did not work and the ones that worked needed you to push in on the cable the entire time you were connected to the computer. When I measured the plug, the length from the end of the plug to the overmold was about 1.2mm longer on the phone cable compared to my cable collection oddly matching the recess depth.
