Sounds like the phone is constantly looking for a 4g signal. have you tried turning data off. If the signal is non-existant , it may help.I just got my S7 edge a few days ago and I am very disappointed in the battery life. I can't even get through an 8 hour day at work.... And I'm barely using the phone because Internet is non existent while in the building. So I only use it whole on break or lunch or if I skip away to get a raid in on clash of clans... What gives?
Which model of Galaxy S5 do you have and which carrier are you on?
Are you suggesting I turn my data off rendering my phone useless.... To save battery life? Seriously?have you tried turning data off. If the signal is non-existant , it may help.

Forgive me if that's not what you meant..
It's called turning data off for specific apps when they are not in use
Doesn't marshmallow do that automatically?
Isn't this the S7 edge forum?
Yes it is and these are just some of the Galaxy S7 Edge models, both Exynos and Snapdragon chipsets and with and without carrier bloatware and modifications...
Galaxy S7 Edge models
Exynos 8890 chipset
G935F Edge Global model
G935FD Edge dual sim model
G935W8 Edge Canada regional model
G935K Edge Korea (KT Corporation)
G935L Edge Korea (LG Uplus)
G935S Edge Korea (SK Telecom)
Snapdragon 820 chipset
G9350 Edge China (Open China)
G935A Edge USA (AT&T)
G935P Edge USA (Sprint)
G935T Edge USA (T-Mobile)
G935R4 Edge USA (US Cellular)
G935V Edge USA (Verizon)
Depending on the chipset, carrier bloatware and modifications, battery life can offer as much as a 30+% difference between the various models. See, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge battery life (Exynos and Snapdragon)
"Think that everyones Galaxy S7 Edge is the same...
Think again!"
Nice post, but the guy asked me what version of s5 I had
.... That's why I was confused
Which model of Galaxy S5 do you have and which carrier are you on?
Read again. You did say S5.
I asked in post #42...
Sometimes the word, "Version", is used, as by entering *#1234# into the dial pad on stock Samsung models will bring up the, "Version", details, including the model number and firmware. This is disabled by some carriers.

Forgive me if that's not what you meant..
I'm going to look at trying this out to see if it turns off the background data for sims Freeplay
