How to fix Battery Drain on S7 Edge

So some of the users of the S7 and S7 Edge are saying they are getting below 4 or 5 hours of SOT with normal use. Today, I have a solution that worked for me and I hope it will work for you. I only own a Exynos S7 and so I'm not sure if it will work for other devices. But do try it out if you are getting bad battery life.

Remember try this ONLY if you are getting bad battery life. If you are getting good (5 or 6+ SOT S7) battery life then you are okay.

First of all, I would assume you are using some kind of battery life saving app (because who doesn't want better battery life) like Naptime, Power nap, Amplify, Greenify, etc. Now just uninstall of all the Power saving apps. This may sound bad, but trust me.

Next, install a custom kernel. I would recommend Modified Stock kernel as it's not over clocked and Prometheus kernel as you can under volt the CPU. Do not over clock the CPU if you do not need to.

Lastly use the smart manager in the S7. Settings-> Battery->App Power Saving and select the apps to save battery.

Let the phone go through a few cycles before reporting back

Let me know if I helped you and a 'Thanks' would be appreciated. :)
