    Old Moto-G4 can not charge.

    Well, I placed the phone face down after writing my initial post and left it there. After about an hour and 45 minutes later, it reached 39% charge and going.

    Okay, the other day I saw a gently used and refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910A phone on ebay for a very reasonable price. When I checked bands and frequencies for this phone, directly from Samsung's web site I see the following information: (direct copy-n-paste from samsung.com)...
