I've noticed something, hope someone can confim this; I've used my 7.7 tab with a SIM card inserted but removed it last week as I'm waiting to get a new SIM in the mail from a different provider. It seems that when there's no SIM in it the tab uses more power, the battery is drained quickly.
I'm using a custom ROM on it (Tweaked Stock for GT-P6800 Version 2.0)
Anyone out there who can confirm this?
cheers

I can confirm this, all samsung tabs seem to use more power when there is no sim card in them. You can try to enable airplane mode, this should turn radio off, but you can still enable wifi.

yes i can confirm my tab is consuming more power its like 10-15% an hour only wifi is working browsing internet
so i should consider putting a sim card to prevent hig drain of battery
turning airplane mode doesn't help
if someone can confirm it ?
I can confirm that even turning airplane mode when a simcard is present is causing higher power drain which is totally weird.

There's a mobile network setting and use packet data enable/disable it concerns also battery
Did anybody try switching radio off via the "test menu"? (dial *#*#info#*#*)
Sorry if this is a silly question. Just gathering info before deciding what version to get. I'm presuming that the WiFi ones don't have a sim slot at all, so this affects just the 3g ones? Did think that is was odd that I have heard a lot of people say that battery life is very good and some like yourselves say the hourly consumption is high.

This is pretty lame. I wonder if I used a non active sim, how it would behave. I don't want to buy a plan right now.

Hello,
I bought my phone a couple of weeks ago. At first, I didn't notice it, but after a few days I began to realize that the phone discharges completely after less than a day. I looked up and found the battery thread where I saw people going on about how happy they are with battery life, but others complaining about it draining real fast.
I found out all about wakelocks, and fast dormancy etc, and tweaked everything to the max, but the drain was still going on like crazy.
I thought maybe the stock ROM is bad and I need to use something different, and was about to flash, but then as a last resort I decided to try another sim card - I have 2 cards on the same line, one of which I use for my ipad - and swapped it.
Ever since, all the problems are gone! I even enabled fast dormancy again and I see that I have ~1% per hour drain when the phone sits still...
So, to anyone having large drains from cell standby with no simple and obvious explanation, I suggest trying to swap your sim card!
Hope this helps someone...
How can the sim card cause battery drain?
I'm still using the simcard from my last phone, though I still have the new simcard that came with the s3 but its not activated yet.
A guess is that the simcard caused connectivity issues and as such threw the phone out of fast dormancy all the time.

Lucky you, my provider decided to disable the old sim card when they handed me the S3. By consequence I could not, as promised, call my gf who got mad at me ^^

we cannot have 2 different sim cards of the same no. in our area.
btw, does your sim card have different specifications? which one is newer?

The second one is newer, but was meant to be a data sim and had "Laptop" written on it, though it accepted and made calls just fine, but did not get sms until I asked it to be configured as the primary. Both of them were cut out from regular sim cards, because the providers here decide it is funny to charge around 25$ for giving you the same product with less 1 gram of plastic on it...
Today I got a normal micro sim (I guess they thought I already had one, and replacement is free) and it is also working completely fine.
I think the contacts in the old sim were causing high resistance because they were really worn out, and thus some extra power was lost on them.
I'm pretty sure most companies offer an extra sim to put into a car phone. Here it costs around an extra 1.50$ a month. In any case, my point wasn't about switching between 2 sim cards, but rather that a new sim card might cause less drain. You can believe it or not, but it worked for me. I can post before and after screenshots even.
So has anyone tried changing Sims for better battery life with success?
Same with me. I was having 2-3 % drop per hours, not sometimes the battery remains at 100% after 2 hours of inactivity
So... This issue has happened to me 2 times so far.
I recently traded my iphone 5 mint for a Galaxy s4 mint, Had the guy @ AT&T check over both phones.
So i looked into issues with G4 after the first time it happened and thought maybe it was a battery issue. So i purchased a new battery off ebay.
My original battery looked fine and basically new, Model B600BU, got a new battery model B600BZ(Verizon model). Works fine with my phone, NFC works and everything.
My phone was FACTORY the first time it happened. This time it is ROOTED and it happened with the new battery.
It has only happened while it was plugged into the charger, the screen would not turn on but the BLUE light was blinking.
I could turn the device on and it would basically start up fresh... But I need my phone on, I use it as a WORK alarm...
Any ideas?
Ive only had that issue with crappy kernels. I dont believe its a issue known to the s4. Never happens to me. Maybe flash a rom or kernel and see if that fixes it

A factory reset should set it straight. It's not that it is shutting down, it is just freezing in the wake up process. It may be the kernel or the software itself. What firmware are you on?

No need to reboot, just switch airplane mode on and off.

I have not ran into this with my S5, I did with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus every once in a while though. Only time I had wifi issues with my S5 is when I had to reboot my network router and then I just toggled wifi off and then back on and has been good since.
I thinking it's a software/app problem as when it happens I'm still connected to wifi and everything else works as normal.

S5 Wifi issues
Hello
I had the same problem with my S5. I have updated ROM
and now it works but it eats my battery under 12 hours if I turn
wifi on. If I turn it off and don't touch my phone then it lasts for
several days. Is it a ROM issue or is it a hardware problem?
By the way, the battery is brand new and original.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Andras
Ever since i bought my G3 i was experiencing heating issue. Despite the v10j update, my phone was heating up. The battery life was also so so.
Everytime i ran antutu, my phone used to reboot. I gave my phone to LG service center and they finally helped me pin point the fault in my device. The sim card that i was using was some 4-5 year old and i had coverted it to a micro sim by cutting out the edges using a stapler like cutter.
This was what caused all the issues in my phone, Now when i have bought a new smart sim, that is pre cut and comes in with an adapter, i face no heating issues whatsoever. Besides, my battery life has increased significantly. Switching to ART gave another boost to performance. I am connected to wifi all day, my battery lasts 30+hrs and i get 4.5 to 5 hour SOT.
In a nutshell,
Dont use self-cut SIM cards, rather go for a factory made micro SIM.
Switch to ART, Its the new king.
Very strange that it would act like this. I wonder what about a cut sim card that would make the phone do this.

Exactly, being an electronic & communication engineer, my mind also got boggled on hearing this, but the service center guys have daily life experiences, so they could figure out the fault. Besides maybe, my SIM might have been faulty over years of usage.
