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.
