Cable error.... When unplugged.

Bring to an apple store or maybe you somehow got a fake one. Did it work with iOS 6? The cable should still work even with the error as I have the same thing happening to me but I know it is a non certified cable that still charges my iPhone 5.
I'm using the charger that came with my phone, which I purchased at Apple. I have had no errors until I updated to iOS7.
Old 30 pin connector yeah? Swap the connectors on your phone with some rubbing alcohol. Dust gets in and shortens the circuits leading your phone to believe something's plugged in.
Is the cable damaged in anyway. Also somewhere on the cable wire it should say "Designed by Apple in California" I believe to make sure it is authentic.
Do you have any other device with a lightning port to test your cable out on?
It is authentic. And the problem is the phone is not plugged in to begin with -.-
It seems I am the only one with this problem.
Sorry for not reading properly.
I have never seen that error come up with out anything being plugged in.
Maybe air out/ clean the lightning port. That's the only thing I can think of.
Try a hard reset.
I blew into the port as hard as I could and so far no error lol. If it comes up again ill just take it to Apple. Thanks for your help.
Maybe something that was conductive was in the port causing that. I will be really surprised if that worked.
