I've got an older Motorola RazrM.
I recently came into possession of a phone charger (wall wart plus detachable USB cable) meant for Nokia Lumia. Even though the cable has a standard micro USB plug, and it plugs into my Motorola phone just fine, it will not charge the Motorola. When I swap the cable (still using the same Nokia wall wart charger) to a Motorola one, it charges just fine.
Didn't realize these cables were proprietary, despite looking the same on the outside. Just wondering if it's the Nokia cable that's proprietary or the Motorola one, or both? Why do manufacturers have to be such [censored] about power cables?
