Cell Standy battery drain fix.

I had an issue with my S7 battery after traveling out of town for a few days.

The way I fixed it was to reset my network settings. You'll have to redo you wifi password and some other stuff like bluetooth connectivity etc but it beats a full reset. Fixed my battery drain issue.

Settings>Backup and reset> Reset network settings.

It doesn't matter what you do, if you Uninstall unused Apps, if you use your Batter Saver, if you download Device Performance Apps like Greenify, if you reboot or reset your phone, if you Force stop running Apps every hour, , you cannot stop Cell Standby!!! Trust me, I've tried everything!

It's all due to the fact that Àndroid and your phone carrier, (mine is Verizon), force Apps and updates to your operating system, that you'll never use or don't need and it drains your battery.
IF, they were smart enough to properly test these updates before rolling out and see the battery drain, maybe then everyone wouldn't be having these issues...or it's possible they already know/knew and don't care!

I think the only way to have an efficient phone is to Root your device. Unfortunately, I haven't tried this yet but it seems it's what everyone who is experience Cell Standby battery drain, needs to do.

I'd like to thank Àndroid and Verizon for forcing me to Root my phone!

By the way, everyone be careful of your WiFi Direct, it's a security issue.

Wow, what a find on how to fix the cell standby draining the battery problem! Thank you, Killer BIGxyz. Draining the battery to 10% or lower, shutting it off while recharging it and turning it back on, produced a very low single digit use %. Repeat again if need to get it lower. So easy. Thank you for sharing!
