M7 Cell Standby destroying my Battery!

[newton42wolves]

For a month or two my battery has been terrible lasting only like 6 hours and sometimes draining 20% an hour. I know the culprit is "cell standby" because it says it takes up 98% of my battery!! It's crazy how do I stop it? I heard it's a WiFi thing but I don't have enough data to just turn it off forever.

Your cell signal is anywhere from terrible to non-existent. That's why the cellular radio is eating all your battery - it's running at full power, probably transmitting every couple of minutes trying to find a tower to register to.

You're using a carrier that has no coverage where you are.

I have T-Mobile and I get 4G-LTE whenever I'm not using WiFi around here though
