The phone won't be able to detect whether it's plugged into a PC/charger or whether you have some USB device plugged into it that you expect to work.

The fix is to desolder a couple tiny switches that aren't particularly important. I've completed that on my phone, I can confirm it fixes the issue.
As to whether to cancel your order, I suppose that depends on how critical automatically-switching USB OTG support is, and/or your comfortability with desoldering a couple little specks from the motherboard.
Did removing the switches cause any problems? Or does all work as it should?
I think one guy had issues with simultaneous HDMI and USB or something, but it's a very uncommon use case. You can, of course, manually switch modes if you prefer not to remove the switches. Myself, I haven't had any issues.
