Hi...Does anyone know roughly how much battery is consumed by the phone for having a 2nd sim being connected to a gsm network?
I don't mean battery consumption based on usage, just the 2nd sim 'staying on and connected' part

Hi all, based on my experience of flashing various different ROMs, most of the ROM shouldn't have the battery drain issue. However, I discovered some times after flashing a new ROM the device gets much warmer and the battery drains very quickly.
When this happens the best solution is to shutdown the device, pull the battery out for 5 minutes or so to let it cool down. Then put it back and turn on the device and the battery drain problem should be resolved.
I haven't been able to find the reason behind that but it does make a big difference. With one of the ROM I flashed, the battery went from 100% to flat in less than a day even when no WiFi, no bluetooth and no infrared are turned on. Then I recharged the device, pulled the battery out to let it cool down and put it back. After that the battery went back to normal with only around 3% consumption overnight.
Sounds interesting.
I also noticed that the device is getting hot in some cases (high CPU usage).
It is clear that the selfdischarge of the battery if much higher when it gets warmer. If it is being recharged in a short time afterwards, then also here the temperature will get higher.
This might be an explanation. You're right.

Mhh.. i found out, if you have a bad cell connection (like 1 bar of all 4) the phone starts to boost somehow this hardware and drains alot battery.
Any1 experiencing that?

You're absolutely correct... When the GSM carrier signal is weak, your phone compensates for this weakness by boosting the signal off your phone's antenna. This process consumes alot of power. Another reason for such a high consumption is that your GSM service provider is using a low GSM band for its GSM infrastructure and your phone is a triple/quad band phone. In that case, it would continuously boost off the signal.

Having a strange problem with my nexus 5. I used my nexus 5 for a couple of days using wifi with no battery drain. When my micro sim arrived I popped it in and suddenly the battery started to drain in standby, I would say around 4% an hour. It drained over 30% overnight with mobile data and wifi switched off.
I proceeded with a factory reset thinking it may have been an app, but the drain was still there.
I then removed the sim card switched the wifi on and there was no drain, only 1% per two hours.
Is this a common problem or does anyone think there is a problem with the device?
I live in a good signal area, and nearly always get 4 bars. The battery stats suggest over 30% of the use is phone idle and mobile standby when the SIM is inserted, these drop signifcantly when no SIM is inserted.
Appreciate any help / advice. Thanks

Various people have had similar problems as you, and have reported that flashing the stock factory image has fixed their battery drain issues. You can find it here, I believe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507861
Gotta flash it in Recovery, CWM or TWRP..
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I just find it weird, that it only drains when the SIM is inserted even with mobile data switched off. Maybe its a hardware problem, I wondered if anyone had a similar issue, might ask for a replacement from google.
Hi, I just got my U11 and using it for 5 days now. I notice that when I leave the phone at night, the phone lost battery around 10% everyday. From the battery stats, it said Cell standby is the most hungry one. Anybody found this issue?
I noticed it too, 40% battery usage was cell standby... ?
I'm seeing this too but I still get over 30 hours with up to 5 hours sot.
Guess cell standby is not draining battery, the rest just uses so little that this comes out on top.
Computed power use was 400+ mAh...
So what? I get 40 hours uptime and 7 hours SOT. The mAh reading is an estimation.
I also get standby or time without signal drain occasionally. running an unlocked sprint version on metropcs. hopefully htc releases some better radios in the near future.
Similar battery drain here for cell standby.
I'm on 1.27 stock rom.
Dual SIM with two SIM card active.
Any workaround?
Me absolutely same.. One screenshoot is on wifi second on mobile data.. Stock rooted ROM but same on unrooted
Someone has tried with Oreo firmware? Same drain?
How much battery is consumed by both sim cards active at a time?
When I observed battery usage status I saw cell Standby in rank 1.
Even I Don't have a sim card I use only wifi, brightness fixed at 25% all day.
How to keep the cell Standby away from draining battery ?
(I don't need airplane mode to be enabled.)
