Does anyone know if using two sims and the second sim constantly has low signal whether that would impact the battery?

I'm still not having great battery, I'm on 28% with SoT of 3h.14m

My second sim signal is constantly low

poor signal will absolutely have an impact on battery life.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to use this phone ceaseless or not. I think it's a joy to hold personally, and it's easy for my hands to hold it because if its narrowness, and I love seeing the prism glass ..... but still.

Yup - this is the battle I've had in my head!
I love the navy case, and use it for work etc. The phone is taken in and out of a metal locker all day so I want a case on it for when I'm bashing it around in there.

But when I'm at home I LOVE the feel of it naked.

Now I'm swapping to a Plus, the naked feel will likely be even more preferred because a case on the bigger phone will likely make it too bulky for me.

It's truly a wonderful phone to hold and use without a case.

EDIT - Re read my post.

This sentence - not really ok.

But when I'm at home I LOVE the feel of it naked.

But y'all knew what I meant. :p

Nope can't really say I have seen any adverse impact, try setting 2nd sim manually to 3G only

It really is a shame Caudabe is focused exclusively on iPhone cases. I have their clear one on my Xr and it's almost like going caseless. I have many different clear cases by different companies and Caudabe has been the best at seeming like it's not there.

Did you decide to return it?
Click to expand...

Yep, sadly I have to. The power button is defective, which explains my issue with the sensor. It's a little bit looser than normal power buttons. I tried a couple out at a dealer's. Crap, back to iOS for the next few months at least.

Can’t you just get a replacement?

Samsung won't do an exchange. And if I re-order, it makes sense to just wait for their promos with $200-$300 off phones. And I rather not be phone less to do a repair.

Ahhh that makes sense. One thing you might want to try is emailing Samsung. I used their phone and chat service and both are bad but I actually got a functional human to email me back. Just a thought.

I’ll try again. It’s pretty annoying that I have had to deal with lousy support from Samsung before hand. If my phone was 6 months old, I would be open to a repair.

It appears my battery concerns are no more after yesterday's factory reset, and night mode doesn't turn on until sunset, so I'm not utilizing dark mode all-day as a means to save battery.
