The phone would get low on power (sometimes with an instant drop of power from full to low) and become unstable - sometimes freezing an application or getting sluggish. I would then reboot and it would freeze.

Some apps that regularly connect connect to the internet use more power than others and thus they perhaps just appear be causing problems. Those that lose power more often would see issues more often.
I rarily have my stylus so I usely remove the battery to reboot. This once caused my phone to no longer charge because the contact points weren't getting a pristine perfect connection (despite appearing as such). Upon cleaning& microadjusting the contacts points it charges again.

I've also experienced the issue with the phone freezing upon reboot while usb attached to pc. It is what first made me think the problem wasn't power related.
However, there remains a possibility that other factors are involved.
I've long speculated that as power diminishes it loses ability to allocate some memory somewhere. So upon restart it then doesn't have enough resources to fully start.
For instance, when I design a new ROM that uses too much physical memory it freezes in the exact same way.

Tethering might have some impact with this issue in some way as well as other things not yet mentioned.


I was hanging on splash screen, and it would take 20min to load to Today. I pulled the relatively low battery out, put a fresh one in, and it boots like normal. INTERESTING!

THANKS! saved me some real confusion!
