Talk Time Drain (Verizon VoLTE)

Actually that doesn't seem to be the case. I keep WiFi on all the time and have Lollipop, on 3 devices and have never had high cell standby

are you on verizon? I'm sure different carriers are different. But having said that it might be Verizon's fault!

but for me it's no coincidence that all three different phones acted same and was able to resolve the situation with same solution.

No, I'm on T-mobile now, but didn't have the issue with AT&T either.

My friends T-mobile is fine as well...but on Verizon...not so much. Turning off wifi will help greatly.

I think people need to realize even though it's the same phone but having different carriers makes a difference with different settings and solutions to the problems. There are some problems that can be solved with universal solution but not all problems can be solved same manner.

I dont have a graph to show, because i dont talk as much on my days off.

I am on verizon, i have advanced calling turned on but video calling turned off. Talking on the phone doesn't seem to use an unusual amount of battery. I use it a lot more at work so i would def notice it if it hit the battery very hard.

Sent with my white Note5 with nonremovable back and no SDcard!

I keep Advanced Calling on (with Video calling enabled, though I never use it), and my battery life seems good, even if I talk a lot. Not sure what's going on. I'm on Verizon obviously.

3 things to note with turning Advanced Calling off:

1. You won't be able to have concurrent Voice and Data usage (can't call and surf the web, etc)
2. You won't get the incredibly clear calling that you would if you call another Verizon customer with Advanced Calling turned on. It's really insane how good it sounds.
3. On the upside, if you drop to a 3G area, voice calls won't drop with AC turned off.

Good luck.
