UBPorts Battery Observation

[mpnordland]

I've noticed that the battery will only charge if I turn on the phone while it is plugged in. After the cord is unplugged charging will not work until the phone is restarted with the cord attached.

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.
