Hi
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.
I bought two samsung discover 730m phones, put a SIM card in both of the same provider. Did not modify the stock ROM at all. The one phone lasts over a day with lots of use or up to 4 days with no use. The other lasts only 8 hours at most with no use, even less with use.
I swapped the batteries and determined it's the phone not the battery.
I have turned data off, bluetooth off, screen brightness down, installed a battery saving app, made sure syncing is off, and still it chews through the battery. Can this possibly be hardware related
Any suggestions of what else to try?
I have had my Xperia Ion for over a year now with zero issues. However, this week it has been shutting down for no reason at all and the intervals are getting shorter and shorter to the point where it is almost impossible to use it for anything. Along with this, the battery will jump to 1% from 85% in no time at all. It seems like the battery needs to be replaced, but what strikes me as odd is the fact that the phone only behaves this way with the sim card inserted. When the sim card is removed it typically does not act like this.
Does this sound like a battery or a simcard issue?
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
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.)
