Can someone do me a favour who has a Samsung charger (or any micro usb one). On the charger port, how many pins is there? When charging using the stock charger, the phone sometimes thinks its charging via usb and not ac. Its random which it will say its charging by. It only has 4 pins inside, where as a spare non stock one i have has 5 and always saying charging via usb
