I'm just adding to the chorus of what appears to be many many others that are experiencing this serious flaw and I hope a fix is being worked on to roll out as soon as possible.

After any major update, you should always run a cache wipe procedure. It flushes out the old OS files. This will NOT cause you to loose any personal settings or apps. Try this. 1. Turn phone off2. Hold Power , volume up and home button till you see phone ...

I am sitting here right now looking at my S5 trying to restart. I have had trouble with this phone since back in may when they pushed out that update.It has had days where its fine then weeks where I can't even get it started .I have done a lot of research on this update on the phone and it just looks like its a crap shoot on which ones took it OK and ones that did not.

AGREE WITH somercamb. I TRIED RESTTING CACHE TO NO AVAIL. THIS PROBLEM IS LARGE. BOT MY WIFE'S PHONE AND MINE EXHIBIT MAJOR BATTERY DRAIN FOLLOWING UPDATE.THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR SAMSUNG OR VERIZON.

1) How long does your battery last?ANSWER:As an example, during work (10 hour day), I always left my phone on the Lollipop battery saver (including turning off Wi-Fi, data, brightness and going to grey scale) when not in use. By the end of the day, with normal usage, I'd be no lower than 70%. At this very moment, 4 hours into my day and with "ultra power saving" previously on (and on when not in use), I'm at 75%.I have already performed the wipe cache and never stream videos/music at work.What apps do you use, and what do you do on your phone?ANSWER:Rarely video/music stream90% of the time, I use Gmail, chrome and calendar. I've had the same apps before updating to Android 6.0.1 I'm sure well aware that this is a huge issue, even based on the Verizon forums, let alone other non-Verizon forums discussing this problem. Thank you

Hi thereThis is my second time with marshmallow on my S5. Battery drain issues both times, even without using it for an hour (maybe 1-2% with lollipop vs 5-8% with marshmallow). After the first time, I did a hard reset and stayed with lollipop and just dealt with having to tap away the marshmallow upgrade message which appears it is not possible to disable. Is that correct? I only updated a second time because I accidentally tapped the upgrade button. Is there a fix with the battery drain issue? Thank you

Settings/battery: I downloaded the GSam battery monitor and now I get about at least a day and half with normal use before I have to charge it. I have had alot of problems out of this phone since that update in may,but after a LOT of reading and learning I've seem to have a decent phone again.

When I disable my WIFI, the battery will last a long time. It appears that either an application(s) is constantly using the WIFI or the OS is constantly having the WIFI radio to scan looking for additional routers?????
