Did you remove the plastic between de contacts of the battery used for shipping the phone?

If you are referring to the plastic that prevents the battery from powering the phone at all, then yes. If there is additional plastic to remove I am not aware of it.

I'm seeing the same issue. If I plug the phone in while the phone is off, and boot into UBPorts, the battery charges. If I unplug it, then the battery will not charge again until I shut down.

Responding to myself in case others find this useful: this reddit comment may be relevant. I have been charging my Pinephone with a USB C charger, and that comment claims only USB A chargers will work. I cannot find any information to back that up, but it's the most plausible answer I've found. Unfortunately the only type-A charger I possess provides just 1 amp, so the fact that it does not work either probably doesn't say much.

In my experience, type-c to type-c charging indeed does not currently work on UT but I tried it on the PureOS and it worked there. Charging detection is quite unstable on UT at the moment.

RE: UBPorts Battery Observation - pjsf - 03-08-2020

Loaded up the newest stable build #245 last night and left it on a usb c to usb c charger overnight and it seemed to behave correctly, i.e charging to full, discharging for a while then charging again (all while switched on). Only one data point, but maybe fixed now?

Also as a bonus, this build has outgoing calls working quite well - at least with my provider.

RE: UBPorts Battery Observation - dodoeg - 04-01-2020

Hey guys I started playing recently with the PinePhone, and found that ubtouch is the only distribution so far that survives a suspend.
I enter the suspend with the sysfs interface (echo mem > /sys/power/state). I tested the same thing on debian and pmos with phosh, but different bad things happen when resuming with the power button.

I've put together a script that triggers suspend after a given time that the system has not seen any user activity, and so far seems to work reasonably well on ubtouch. My question is: has anyone tried to see if receiving a phone call or a sms resumes the phone? I'm not using a sim right now, so I couldn't test

Can you share the script? I have a SIM in mine.

I can confirm that battery charging detection is not very stable on UT as of #273. Sometimes it starts charging, sometimes I have to unplug and replug, sometimes it only seems to work when I am monitoring the power devices with upower.

Code:
upower -m

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ upower -m

Monitoring activity from the power daemon. Press Ctrl+C to cancel.

weird that it takes almost exactly two minutes for the daemon to change and to start seeing charge indicator on battery + white led.

double weird that two more minutes later the device seems to stop charging with battery indicator lightning bolt going away and no white led.

Difference between UT and PureOS is:
- upower is version 0.99.10 on PureOS and on 0.99.4 on UT

I recommend starting a new thread for your interesting point.
