charge uses a pair of pins in the connection,. " see me" and transfer data uses different pins. so it is logical that one may work and the other not if the relevant pins are not engaging properly
I doubt that Amazon have changed the industry standard of what pins do what, so any cable
should work. but mechanical issues are sadly common, part of the moulding is too short, or too long , or the cable is loose in the socket....
