S7 Edge Stuck On Installing System Update

Problem: Good day, I updated my bosses S7 Edge but the “installing system update” has been sitting on 80% for half an hour already. He does not want to do a factory reset. The phone is also very hot to the touch. Is there something I can do to get out of the system update without having to reset the phone?

Solution: Try removing the microSD card of the phone ( if one is installed) then press and hold the power and volume down buttons for at least 10 seconds. Your phone should restart after this. Once it does try doing the software update again.

If the problem still occurs then start the phone in recovery mode then wipe the cache partition of the phone. This won’t delete your phone data. Restart the phone then repeat the system update.

In case the above steps fails to fix the problem then you should consider performing a factory reset on the phone. Make sure to backup the phone data before doing the update.

S7 Edge Fast Battery Drain

Problem: Hi, I just bought a s7 edge a week ago and I have not yet downloaded any apps except for whatsapp. However the battery life just keeps going down by about 2 to 3 % every hour. I don’t play any games on it. Is this a cause for concern?

Solution: You can check if it’s a third party app that is causing this problem by starting the phone in Safe Mode. Check if the battery still drains quickly in this mode. If it doesn’t then you should try uninstalling Whatsapp.

In case the issue persists then the battery drain might be caused by the phone using more power to get a stable signal from the network. Make sure that you are in an area with a good signal coverage so that the phone will not use more power to boost its antenna.
