I have had HORRIBLE battery life after Updating to Nougat! My phone just dropped 23% in one hour! Has anyone found any fixes for this besides a Factory Reset? I have already cleared my cache.

Stina87, we know how important it is to have a device that you can rely on throughout the day. Let's make sure that battery can hold up the way you need it to. Since the software update, have any apps been updated too?
Please run a device health check with the My Verizon app. You can view the instructions here: http://vz.to/21yk8YE and then keep us posted with the results.

It usually takes a few days for the phone to settle down after a update. When you say you cleared the cache
did you do it from the phone settings-storage-internal storage? Or did you do it in recovery mode?

I did it in recovery mode. I have also given my phone a week to "adjust" and it has not gotten any better.

Yes, all my apps have updated and I have run a health check and my battery life is still horrible. In 4 hours I have gone from 100% To 34% with minimal usage.

I know what you mean Sherlockwarrior about undoing this update unfortunately once we do the update we can never get the phone to go back to what we had before. I also agree with you about the battery being the type that you can't remove. I had the Note 7 and if they would have had a removable battery I would still have it and they wouldn't have had to recall the phone.

SHERLOCKWARRIOR, we definitely don't want you to be uncomfortable with your phone after the update. We understand that it can be hard to adjust to the new update. What application are you using that shows a keyboard you don't like? What messaging app are you using? Have you tried doing a health check >> http://vz.to/2hnWj4E in order to check the battery?
