So, I've been amazed with the phenomenal battery life of the S7 edge (7-8 hours SOT for me) but have been perplexed that the Standby drain on WiFi (3% per hour) was more than the Standby drain on LTE (roughly 1% per hour). Finally figured out what was causing it. WiFi Scanning runs hard when the phone is "asleep" and on WiFi causing WiFi Standby battery drain noticeably higher than LTE Standby drain.
Turned off WiFi Scanning along with Bluetooth scanning and now Standby drain is 1% per hour on both WiFi and LTE. Amazing!
WiFi Scanning (and Bluetooth Scanning) is pretty hidden so you can find it under Settings > Privacy and Safety > Location > Improve accuracy
