Latest Software Update Bug reduced battery life

Recent software update on Galaxy Note 5 NV920VVRU2A0J3 December 18 has drastically reduced battery life. An usual day at work I have 45% to 50% battery left now I'm at less then 30% after 6 hours requiring a recharge which I never had to do before. I work 10 hour shifts. Power saving mode is on. Battery usage as follows

Android OS 13%

Facebook 9%

Email Sync 7%

Screen 6%

Google Services 6%

Battery Doctor 5%

Thank you,

Joe

I have been experiencing this issue since the latest S6 (not edge; just

plain S6) update came out. My battery used to last 2 days; I am not a huge

phone talker. I have tried the reset settings tip I found in the community.

If you check back with me in a few days I'll let you know if that cured the

problem. Thanks for the fast response; I love my Verizon phone, tablet,

hotspot and service.

Merry Christmas!

I have the same issue

Same with my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Cell signal strength is much more inconsistent and may be causing battery drain. Changed immediately after update.

Cellphone standby: 29%

Android System: 13%

Screen: 3%

Did not have battery drain issue b4 update with the same apps and no changes.

Exact same issue after recent update to allow wifi calling. Battery life is at best half of what it was. Please release a fix for this asap! I never used to have to lug around a spare charger or battery powered charger.

I have had this issue since the update to my note 5 a few days ago.
