My phone, lg g4, has been draining battery by a lot while I haven't done anything heavy for a day

My phone, it's currently using 69% of my phone's battery, while other's are below 10%e's battery has been drained mostly by cell standby according to my phone's battery usage. Is there a fix to this?

Welcome to the G4 forum. :)

What is your signal strength like, and so far as you are aware, are there any temporary network problems in your area?
Check also that there are no problems with the seating of the SIM, or with the SIM itself.

And if you haven't already done it, reboot the phone. Sometimes an app can get itself in a funky state and run down your battery.

Yeah that's not good. Your losing about 5% per hour in what appears to be very light usage. You probably have a rogue App or service wakelocking your phone and not allowing it to idle properly. These can sometimes be difficult to diagnose without root though. You may want to start by uninstalling Apps, one at a time, in order of what you think might be the most likely culprit. You could also go full bore and try a factory reset, then install your personal user apps slowly while you monitor idle drain. It's a bummer but these issues can often only be solved slowly and through trial and error.

Your cell standby is way too high. Mine usually runs about 6%. My screen is always highest %.

Tap the graph and look at the bottom of the next screen. Is the mobile signal solid green? If it's yellow, brown or red, you have a weak signal (IOW, you're using the wrong carrier) and it's going to cost you battery.

Which graph?
