Battery and Nougat Starter Pack

[kit71717]

Hi guys,
I just upgraded to Nougat and I feel like the battery is draining really fast compared to Marshmallow, I dont know what went wrong since I am using it like usual.
Also, what should I do after updating to Nougat? I restarted the phone, but are there other steps I should take to have a smoother transition from M to N?

What will really make you have the best transition between marshmallow to Nougat is a factory reset. It can be inconvenient but it can also be worth it.

Hey man, is there a way to backup everthing, do the factory reset and recover everything (apps, pictures, documents, files)?

settings > cloud and accounts > backup and restore

make sure google backup is on and auto restore is on. Then Go to Samsung account backup and make sure everything is on and press backup now

u can also use samsung smart switch. its easy, simple and works fast

Yup, it's always good to run Smartswitch even if you have files saved in the cloud. (Just in case!) A full backup only takes about 10 minutes. -Nick

ok thanks, but does Samsung Back up Photos and Videos too?

Go into Samsung cloud and make sure gallery is turned on. You should be good to go. I reset many times and did not lose any of my photos from gallery.

I dont have gallery though

What do you use to store your photos?
