  1. My galaxy s7 is having the same problem, battery doesn’t hold any charge anymore. Tried replacing the battery a few times and still have the same problem. Not sure what’s wrong with my phone. It only works when it’s plugged into an outlet.

  2. How long does it usually take for the Andriod recovery screen to appear? Mine says downloading (going on 30 minutes)

  3. Cache wipe fixed my S6 battery problem. I was also experiencing battery drain after Samsung updates. Figured this was how they were going to make me buy a new phone since this one is almost 2 years old. Thank you, thank you , thank you!
