can a low battery make your phone run slow ?????

Now that you bring that up, my phone does tend to run slower when the battery is low now that I come to think of it. Hmmm

I vaguely recall mogul or one of my older phones would throttle back the cpu when the battery was low. No wait, I remember, it throttled back the cycle slot index so the phone side would use less battery but you'd get missed calls or calls straight to voicemail when the battery was low. It sounds bery plausable they would throttle back cpu though.

It's possible, but I would guess that it wouldn't happen until you were at the low or critical battery levels (10% and 5%?)

the issue may be the fact that your phone needs a soft reset. if your batt is low, then it has been running all day going in & out of programs. which makes the available memory run low. which lags the phone. soft reset should do the trick.

Yea i would try soft resetting the phone but it is pausable that the phone slows cpu usage when the battery is low. i would try soft resetting first and finding out
