3rd party cable cannot charge

Any one has this issue?

 

[muddle]

Ios 7 is blocking all unauthorised third party cables. The fake lightning cables are using pirated chips.

Really?????
To make consumers buy original as well as protect their devices?

 

[siron]

Yah. I read about that as well... They just made another couple of millions.

was syncing and charging on my 3rd party lightning adapter reh

although got the warning msg appear on screen when plug in

 

[babywoolf]

Same. My third party cable give warning but still can charge and sync

 

[layzibum22]

Same for me... 3rd party can charge but with warning message.

I read somewhere before os7 does not support 3rd party unauthorised cables, from what I checked, apple cables are the cheapest compared to those authorised.

For me I couldn't charge.. Yesterday when I got my 5s, put it charge on wall adapter, it show charging but it not charging at all.. I saw on the net there is some work around..

There is this work around that I saw on the net..

Turn on USB power
Plug in lightning cable to iPhone
Dismiss any warnings
Unlock your iPhone.
Dismiss any remaining warnings.
Now with the screen turned on.
Unplug the knock off lightning cable.
Plug it back in.
Dismiss warning again
It should now charge.

But I don't understand what it mean by 'Turn on USB power'

that guide is by me.

Turn on USB power means turn on your socket's power.
