Ok...I might be a tad presumptuous here, but Samsung sent through an update today to an App called "Samsung Push Service" which noted it fixed "power consumption" issues. Jerry referenced it in an earlier article saying his initial indications were that it may have fixed the WiFi drain, so I immediately updated the App:
Galaxy S6 battery life bad? This update might help | Android Central
Guess what! Almost 3.5 hours later and the dastardly "Cell standby" drain has completely disappeard! I went from draining my battery at 5% per hour sitting at my desk to under 2% per hour. Still need more time with this but the lack of any meaningful "Cell standby" in my battery stats (it's at 1%) and my significantly reduced idle drain on WiFi is VERY encouraging!
If this holds, hats off to Samsung for pushing through a fix!!!!!
