From the Android Central forums:

Settings. . Mobile networks. . mobile data .. enhanced 4g

Since turning off wifi also stops the drain, I might speculate the bug is actually in the voice processing for wider bandwidth and turning off wifi or enhanced 4g shuts down that section of voice processing, which is keeping the radio alive when it should not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elnene03:
Thanks for that. I'll try this..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] demonwind:
Does enhanced 4g mean LTE? What does turning it off do (besides save battery life supposedly)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scpmp803:
Thats HD Voice (AT&T's version of VoLTE). Turning it off disables the Voice over LTE feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jackdforme:
Does anyone have proof that this is related to cell standby? I am skeptical that this is the smoking gun for battery drain. I have noticed a substantial drain even compared to my old Moto X (2014) and that is saying a lot since that phone's battery wasn't great. I am trying to see where we can make stride to determine the reasons for it. I have different results in my details. Sometimes android system is the culprit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] americasteam:
I turned off Enhanced 4g last night and cell stand by isn't even on my battery usage list today. It was the top one last night before disabling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jackdforme:
How's the overall life now? I just shut it down myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Anyone do this and leave WiFi on and still have good battery. Seems to me that no matter what I do WiFi still causes the battery to drain far faster than it should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] americasteam:
I keep everything on except enhanced 4g and get between 5 and 6 hours of screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] varunkumars:
+1

I switched off enhanced LTE but if I leave the wifi on I see a battery drain. With wifi off I get a stable battery. My Edge (AT&T) is on Android 5.0.2.

I remember first T-mobile users mentioning battery was ok until 5.0.1 which was later updated to 5.0.2 and the trouble started.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
If we could just figure out how to get rid of Google Play services
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krolla03:
Im gonna try this too. I keep wifi on. Time to charge up to 100% and see how quick it goes down
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
So today I decided to keep wifi on and wow. Battery life not as good. Not having horrible drain, but it is most certainly effecting my battery life. So tomorrow I will go all day without wifi and see how it fairs. But I'm thinking that unless I know I'm gonna be at home a lot where I can easily charge, then wifi will remain off indefinitely. Good thing I have 30gb mobile share data :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
If you root and can't deep sleep restore your devices stock recovery

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jaltman:
That's why I gave attribution that I was taking it from elsewhere. you just never know when someone will come along and say 'I wrote that.'

Thanks for finding it and sharing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spotdog14:
Ill give it a try and report back. Does anyone use the "Battery Saving" feature all the time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
I'm about to try leaving it on all day. Anything that it turns off I don't really need so might as well. And let's be honest, who needs all the power this phone has all the time. I'd say 95% of the time I don't need anywhere near the processing that this beast is capable of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spotdog14:
The reason I asked is because my wife has an S5 and she leaves it on 100% of the time. I go back and forth, I would say I use it about 50% of the time. If I know I'm going to be out of the house/office all day ill put it on but if I'm not I turn it off. I do notice a few of the apps shutter when its on but thats it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] varunkumars:
Seems like I fixed the drain issue with WIFI

Steps:

1.) Turned off the enhanced LTE (like OP suggested)

2.) Turned off always allow scanning (Inside the advanced wifi settings)

3.) Disabled AT&T bloatware including Amazon, fitness.

4.) Last but most important is to Re-start the phone. I did the first 3 yesterday also but no use. Today after doing a little research in the forums I realized this is important too.

Now if the above does not work for you try resetting the phone along with the above. This worked for many. Some suggested battery re-calibration (which means draining the battery to 10% and re-charging it to 100%).

In about an hour I lost about 3 % of battery (with WIFI on) only with about 5 minutes of usage. Earlier I lost more than 10% in an hour.

Hope fully this fix will stay. I will test further in the evening completely on wifi and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krolla03:
So 3% an hour with little to no usage is normal???

Ive been getting that pretty much out of the box with disabling the crappy bloat tweaking of settings (including those in the 1st thread)

I thought that was a lot though. I just turned off the "always be scanning" gonna see if that gets me even better life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] varunkumars:
I think so. Not sure. That's the best I can get at the moment. I am still testing it. Tomorrow I can get some real numbers.

I just moved to denver and here I see AT&T struggling for signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] joqsan:
My phones battery is night and day with HD Voice turned off. Much better battery life! Thanks for the help guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] LeKtRiCzzz:
I also want point out because it looks like no one mentioned this but when you go to the WiFi select 'more' in the top right then advanced settings. In there seems like two options that could cause battery drain. "Always allow scanning" let's Google location services or other apps scan for WiFi even when WiFi is off and "Auto Connect" which looks for AT&T hotspots
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spotdog14:
That auto connect to AT&T hotspots was the bain of my existence when I had my HTC One X+ because it would randomly connect to those hotspots which all required a login page when I was driving listening to Pandora. At least on this phone you can turn that off, you couldn't on my old HTC>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ookba:
I confirm this stopped the Cell Standby drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krolla03:
This also happend to my Note 2. I hated it. The hotspots were so crappy too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kennonk:
So far this afternoon there is a noticeable difference in battery life after following these steps. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] varunkumars:

Oh yeah, Bluetooth always on... have it connected to my gear S all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krolla03:
Since i dont use any of the samsung services. I think im gonna try to disable this using the debloat software. At least until samsung pay comes out.

And if its like anything else. Samsung pay will be delayed several times by Samsung. And then it will be rolled out to all the unlocked S6's. But for some god only knows why it will be delayed by Tmobile Sprint ATT and Verizon.

Then Tmobile and Sprint will allow them on their phones (in that order)

Then many months later ATT

Then even more months later Verizon.

So i will probably have awhile haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
I'm trying the volte and WiFi scanning off tomorrow. Hoping this helps my battery. I'll report and confirm tomorrow night also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
Ok so the pics speak for themselves. I don't do much on screen time, but it's way better than before!!!!thanks all.!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
The spikes in the graph shows you charged it a couple of times throughout the day though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Zoken01:
Hi, I have an international S6 Edge and I live in Spain, and have been getting honestly a very random performing battery. I have been getting between 3 and 4 hours of screen on time with 14hours on battery time (which seems pretty average when looking at some results in here). As stated before, it's not the battery drain from the screen that seems bad, it really doesn't seem that bad at all. But man, the drain when my device is locked is enormous. I almost feel like I have to use my phone with my screen on just not to have my battery drained by random stuff.

Every day it seems something is up again. On top of that, every solution I find involves VoLTE or things like that that I think don't exist in my country. Even so, my "Cell standby" is always high, and I can't disable "Always allow scanning", my two options are "Scan always" or "Scan only while Wi Fi is on". I was able to swith the "Smart network" off though. Today, I have a new culprit draining my battery: Samsung Syncadapters. What the heck is that ?

Please help :<
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] yoman258:
I never used facebook, but I noticed facebook was showing up at the top of my list. I just disabled it. It was showing up at like 9%. It was even above clash of clans...... and I play a lot of clash of clans.

However, I've yet to have a better issue with my S6. I think the battery life on it is great considering the internals of the phone and the resolution and the small battery size.

I'm extremely impressed by the amount of battery life they were able to get out of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] :
Thanks for these tips guys. I wasn't having battery issues aside from not being able to put this phone down, but these should help extend the fun.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] XHaGGeNx:
I followed the suggestions by some of the users on this thread. Wow, it has helped a lot! Here are my stats today after making the necessary adjustments.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krolla03:
After diabling Samsung Push my battery life is actually pretty good (on most days.) I know loose about 10% every 3-4hrs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
What's the difference with the Samsung push service disabled?

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

I just disabled it and everything is the same. So I'm hoping for better battery life. And my phone is more snappier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Lol the difference is battery life and snappiness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rafael707:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
See!!!! That! ! How? 17 hrs. And 5hrs on screen time? Amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Dying to see your reaction to some of mine... The last is a personal favorite lol. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Rolldog:
Stick with a background, or theme, with a dark, or black, background. Since it's an AMOLED screen, lighting up each individual pixel, instead of the entire screen sucking down your battery, only the pixels that are turned on (not black) will suck your battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rafael707:
Yea that helped a lot for me

7hours... how?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Luck???? Idk honestly. I usually get between 5-6.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Zoken01:
How are you getting 7 hours ?? I got maximum 4 hours of SoT... I disabled Samsung Push, tons of apps, Google +, and still..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Like I said. Luck. I can't honestly tell you and it only happened once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rafael707:
Most likely he charged the phone twice, thus giving him more screen time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Ummm... No.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

I always get 5-6.5. So your logic, well it isn't even logic. 1 extra hour of screen time from 2 full charges.... Might want to rethink that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Futant55:
I just got this phone yesterday and debloated and turned off jd voice and I got 5.5 hours on screen time with automatic brightness and streaming music through blue tooth a most the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
What's jd voice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
Well I think I fixed my problem. I had Google services killing my battery. And did this reset thing from a 1 plus 1 forum. And it worked. Apparently google services have been a problem on some phones for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Futant55:
I meant HD voice. It was a typo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Pure+:
Care to elaborate? I think if i could get google services to stop draining then i'd be able to achieve 7+ SOT almost every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] varunkumars:
Note sure if he is referring to this but I would also like to know the exact steps.

Yeah that. Even though we can't do a dalvik cache wipe in stock recovery, we still can of a regular cache wipe. And it worked for me. Try it.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

And of corse I turned off the HD voice, wifi scanning, and I also disabled Samsung push. Samsung push disabled, I can't tell the difference. Or what it's for. They say it's for notifications, but everything is still working perfect for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rafael707:
Think about it, if your phone was fully charged and half way through that charge (let's say 50%) you put the phone on the charger for an 20mins, this could increase SOT if your using it

Might want to rethink that :thumbup:

Could you please give us the exact steps one by one as to how you cleaned the cache. If you could elaborate on which screen which option to select that may help us.

Problem is my battery drains on connecting with the wifi although I turned off HD vocie and other options inside wifi settings. I even turned off samsung push service. I returned the phone and got a new one. It has the same problem too. Used CPU spy and the phone is going into deep sleep. Wonder what is draining the battery (on Wifi). Yesterday I took off the SIM card and put it back and the drain stopped (on Wifi) for a about 10 hours. Then I made a whatsapp voice call then on it started draining again(on Wifi). I tried taking out the SIM card turned off everything but the drain didn't stop. Only if I turn off the Wifi drain stops. I loose about 4 to 7% in an hour on wifi and only about 1% when wifi turned off.

This is my second phone I wonder why I have the same issue on both phones. I uninstalled google play services updates and re-installed with the latest version. Yet no use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
Oh sorry that hyperlink was the wrong one. I'll post my full steps and the hyperlink source I followed in about 4 hrs. I. At work now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kajet915:
ok so, heres what worked for me to get really good battery life. for starters i disabled all of the bloat ware. But i also disables samsung push services. doing that didnt harm or alter anything on my device. Second i disabled HD calling by going to system settings>connections tab>mobile networks>mobil data>then uncheck Enhanced 4GLTE services. I then also disabled wirless scanning. this stops apps from using your wifi even though your wifi is off. do this by going to Settings>Connections tab>WIFI>More(in the top right corner)>Advanced>Then uncheck "Always allow scanning". Now for the final touch about those google services draining the battery. What i did was follow these instructions, but remember to clear all data from google services. like this Settings>Device tab>Applications>Application Manager>"All" tab>then scroll down until you see google services>then hit the clear cache. and make sure to uninstall update for google play services if thats an option. After this then go to the "google settings" app in the app draw>click the three little dots on the top right of the screen> hit clear app data. Then for the final step. reboot into recovery(rooted or not, dosent matter) by powering off the device, once device is off, hold down the power, home, and volume up button to get into recovery mode( hold buttons until you see the little android with words saying applying update or something like that) after about 20 seconds, the recovery screen will appear. scroll down with the volume down button till you get to the "clear cache" opiton. hit the power button to clear the cache. then after that, reboot the system, and you should be good. And again. im not sure if this will work with everyone but it worked for me. and i get a hell of alot of better battery and my device dosent over heat anymore even when im playing games of streaming videos. good luck!!!! hope to hear some good replys!!!!! oh and heres the link to what i kinda followed. but i did it my way. https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-i-fixed-the-google-play-services-battery-drain.291608/

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jaltman:
I have been observing my phone's behavior now for several days under varying conditions. Notwithstanding that I live almost within sight of the AT&T Mobility intergalactic headquarters, I have lousy LTE signal here and own a 3G microcell. When I am downtown with good LTE signal (Enhanced LTE off and wifi off) I get good battery life. 3-4% per hour drain. When I am at home on the microcell with wifi off I get 6-8% per hour drain. I think its aggressively looking for LTE. If I turn cellular data off and wifi on at home I go back to 3-4% drain. At home, cell data on and wifi on gets a 10-12% per hour drain.

So i think wifi is overly aggressive looking for signals and causing excess drain. It is also overly aggressive looking for an LTE signal no matter how good 3G is.

Maybe when I get home this afternoon I will put it in airplane mode, as it ought to drop to like nothing consumed at all.

It has always irked me to have to be some giant corporation's beta tester on a released product. Samsung and all the carriers should have caught this before release or at least had an update ready to go. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone and will keep it, as it will be addressed, hopefully sooner than later.

I fixed my Cell Standby Problem.

Just got my S6 2 days ago. Experienced the cell standby problem that plagued so many users but it has just fixed it self. I had voice over LTE off, Smart Network switch, etc. But still had it. Taking the advice from a user on a different forum I decided to fully drain my battery to about 5 percent and then charge it fully. Currently on about 45 minutes of screen on time with 87% left. Cell Standby doesn't even show up in my battery usage. What a wierd problem. I hope others have their problems miraculously fixed like I did. I wish I could post a link to imgur but since I am a new user I cannot.

Never heard of it...I can't imagine it wouldn't break them though. Most battery saving apps kill notifications and stop uploads when the screen is off, etc.
