  3. No, cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation when they are sending out a signal to the cell tower, low battery strength may reduce the energy sent out but not increase it. That being said, a cell phone may increase it's radiated signal when it senses weak/no signals from the cell tower in an attempt to ensure a good connection.
