Just curious, is there a specific reason you keep data and wifi off unless you're using them?
Have you ever recorded WiFi traffic on any device? It's pretty crazy the amount of packets being transfered and received at any given moment
So? Do you personally have to send out these packets by mail?
No reason to keep either on since they drain the battery even when not actively browsing the net. And if your LTE can't find a tower to connect, it keeps trying to connect, draining the battery significantly. This was pretty bad for me a couple years ago; not so much anymore since I live in a city now but I still keep both off, mostly habit but also because I like having my battery above 90% while it's sitting idle.
When I'm at home and want to use the net on my phone, I turn WiFi on, then off once done. When I'm outside the home and need the internet, I turn LTE on and then turn it back off once I'm done.
