Sounds like a dead battery in phone B. The indicators are often based
on
voltage and batteries can show good voltage under very light loads (like
a
metering circuit) but not have any real power to deliver when put under
a
real load.

But it works plugged into the other strip.

I based my comment just on what he described in this last message but
willing admit I could have it 100% wrong.

When I use the same charger on the same strip B, same spot, to charge
another phone, the percentage does go up, meaning it is actually charging.

That's why I feel it's phone specific and most likely the battery but in
reading around the net it could also be the charging connector's hosed or
intermittent. It's becoming clear that they should have stopped at the
mini-USB connector because the micro USB connector appears to be not very
robust. The mini connector had the advantage of having a shape that made it
difficult to try to plug in upside-down. Even the full-sized USB connector
is deficient (IMHO) in that regard.

Just too difficult to figure out remotely so I'll bow out. I hope someone
more tenacious than I am figures it out and posts back here.
