Samsung Galaxy S7
Discussion
For those still with fast battery drain issues try disabling Chrome through Settings/Apps.
I was having to charge mine at least twice a day with only moderate use and found this suggestion on the Samsung community boards. It's apparently something to do with a software glitch on Samsung's side.
I did it today and so far my battery life is a lot better.

Similar situation with mine, it's almost 2 years old and does get used heavily but I was having to charge twice a day.
Messed about with apps/settings for a while, in the end decided battery was duff rather than my apps draining it.
£8 on ebay for a Samsung battery, an hours fidddling, use of the wifes hairdryer and we're sorted.
Battery life back to how it was from new. Still got 40/50% left at the end of the day now whereas before replacement of would've easily gone to 0%, or needed a recharge.

Which one did you go for? Reviews seem to be mixed so not sure which to buy Messed about with apps/settings for a while, in the end decided battery was duff rather than my apps draining it.

Can't post a link from my phone but it was item number 262950003688
Seems genuine to me but I guess you never know! Works a treat though.
For £8 it wont be an original. But if it does what you want then who cares. I ordered one for my S5 a year or more ago and I only realised it was a fake when the NFC wouldn't work. I emailed them and they refunded all the money instantly...so they knew it wasn't real.Seems genuine to me but I guess you never know! Works a treat though.
