Comment (by Carla):

 Replying to [ticket:1574 Carla]:
 > It looks like a defect because most sugar activities either start
 slowing down a lot, or behave very rarely, or don't boot (whole black
 screen). Of course children complain a lot because the camera either opens
 and shows a green square instead of the camera input (still snaps the
 photo), or doesn't boot at all. Even Block Party slows down. Abiword
 freezes,....

 > With 'low power,' I mean that the battery has low charge. When we
 connect them to the wall outlet or place a full battery then the weird
 behaviors tend to go away. Maybe, we need more days to see if more people
 get the same problems. So far, we got around 10 of these cases. Even when
 we change the battery and turn it back working as soon as it goes down the
 problems start and the children come back complaining. They were used to
 use the other versions were the XO will at some point shut down because of
 lack of battery, though it worked at the same speed (behaved the same)
 until the end.
