I just bought the Mophie power pack for my Iphone 4. Its fully charged, the issue is the power pack wont work on my phone. It will be all the way down on the deck but it wont give my phone a single charge! It works perfectly fine on my Ipod touch but not my Iphone 4. Any suggestions!?
Got a tip for us?

Where did you buy the case? Almost all of the ones found on Amazon 3rd party sellers & eBay are fake and break really easily. :/
I realize this is extremely basic, but I'll assume the OP has the little switch on the corner of the mophie battery turned on allowing it to charge the phone?
Now my question: I have a new 4S and purchased a Mophie Juicepack Air with it. I'm looking at that little switch wondering if I should leave it in the green (charge) position all the time allowing it to charge the iphone as soon as the iphone's charge starts to go down *or* should I leave it in the red position until the phone is just about dead and then turn it on?
Does leaving the Mophie charge switch in the green position all the time hurt anything?
Thanks!

Although caution should be advised since the is a sample size of 1, I left the Juice Pack Air on my 3GS on charge all of the time. It seemed to have no ill-effects after 1.5 years. My hope was that it would protect the battery so that my kid would get a few years of using my 3GS as a hand-me-down phone.
Mophie do claim that leaving the switch on charge all the time wastes a little power (charging always costs power even if the main iPhone battery is full). However, it is not clear whether leaving the charge on all the time protects the battery as I have supposed or whether it might harm it. In any case, even with the JPA set for charging all the time, I do cycle the battery on our iPhones periodically as per Apple's guidance.

I could not find any in the package. The guy at the Sprint store put it on. Maybe he lost them...
I can see that as last I heard, it was good to run batteries down before recharging them.
