I am creating this tip or tutorial on how to fix the major problems faced by S7 and S7 edge users after software updates and just in case you think my suggestions don't work I have attached a screenshot of my battery graph and SOT for proof. I get around 2 days of on time with around 6 hours of SOT, here's how you can get it too.

1. Always perform a factory reset after every major software update. eg- when you're upgrading from marshmallow to nougat.

2. After minor software updates such as security patches and performance improvement updates always wipe your cache partition from recovery menu. to enter recovery- turn off your device, then press vol up+power+home simultaneously.

3. Do not use apps like clean master.

4. greenify and greenify pro do more harm than good when you hibernate apps which you use frequently and that can have a negative impact on battery.

5. In order to ensure that your device does not slow down after months always be sure to wipe app data and cache before uninstalling any app.

6. Apps like true caller, facebook and messenger are very resource and battery hungry, especially true caller.

7. Check out this app called SD maid pro ( costs around 10 -20 bucks), it's worth it, use it around once a month and it'll remove all the junk from your phone.

8. Anti virus softwares are not really needed and they tend to slow down the device and also consume battery.

THANKS bro for your comment.I appreciate it.I think it is valuable for all users.also I liked your comment no.3 that don't use apps like cleanmaster,du antivirus etc.also I want to add with it that "Do not use any third party BATTERY SAVER apps."because these are consumes more battery and blocks a large amount ram continuously.It slow down your device and becomes it laggy.besides battery saver and antivirus are given by samsung with device.so don't use such apps.
