ANDROID: new cords do not work with unity but old one does

Still not explained but I found another cord that works just as good. So I am okay but I would like to know why unity is so picky about what cord I use.

To Eric5h5 the person that closed my last question: I only have this issue with unity so this is a unity question. I want to know why UNITY is not detecting my phone with certain cables even though my computer and everything else does.

Okay so, for some reason, unity never detect my Samsung galaxy s5 when I used any cable other then this old damage one that I had to plug in at weird angle to even use as a charger. I was fine with that until someone decided this cord was no good and threw it out. Now I have no working cord to connect my phone to test out my mobile games on.

All I want to know is why did this old cord work with UNITY so I know what to buy to replace it.

Also, if I haven't made it clear, I know everything is set up right and has worked before with the old cord and if you still don't believe me. I have debugging mode on, I make sure my phone is connected with unity remote 4 on and running before I start unity on the computer, I have the editor set to use any device, I have the build set to android, and, if you for any reason you still think it is not the cord, I will say it again I have been able to connect with the old cord before and I have all the same settings except the old cord. So the issue has to be the cord.
