Does Wi-Fi hurt your standby time? (Verizon)

[bigjunior45]

Woke up at 7:15am and have been connected to my home Wi-Fi till I left the house at 4:45. I watched a few YouTube videos, browsed Twitter and Facebook and never opened up instagram even though my battery usage says otherwise.

I left my house at 4:45 to go officiate a high school football game. Met my crew members at 5:05 and my standby is at 14%. So from 4:45 to 10:55 I've been on 4G and my standby never went up but down a percentage. How is that possible? Here's some screenshots. I took a screenshot at halftime that I marked at 8 something

Is there a Wi-Fi setting I have turned on wrong? Why is my instagram usage up to when I haven't even opened the app?

My cell standby went up to 41% yesterday. I tried EVERYTHING that people have recommended and nothing has helped which means that there are 3 possibilities.

1). Cell Standby is greatly affected by signal strength. My signal is terrible, however on my GS4, if I turned off mobile network and WIFI, it would barely drain at all. On the note 5, it'll drain 10-15% while im sleeping which brings me to the second possibility.

2). A lot of Note 5's are broken. The first Note I received constantly overheated and the second one seems to drain with WIFI/DATA off. Does turning Data off still make the phone search for a signal? It seemed to work for my S4 but not this phone. When I woke up today, I actually saw that my Android OS was 18% after following people's recommendations so idk wtf is going on.

3). Lollipop bug - Self Explanatory



When people ask what the red is. It's not my connection, it just means that my battery is very low.
