Screen Lock, WiFi and Battery Life after Nougat Update

Hello,

Now firstly I've never considered the Battery Life on my Z5 Premium to be not-so-good to start with.

I've checked settings, etc and I have to have the screen brightness turned all the way down.

In the battery life checker it appears to be the screen that drains the battery.

It makes me laugh when it says I have 13% battery left with 5hrs usage (LOL).

I updated the phone to Nougat late on Monday and now regret it massively.

2 noticeable thing is the WiFi dropping - I have remedied this by going into the settings and turning off WiFi Scanning leaving it a few seconds and turning it on. I noticed this morning that the WiFi scanning must have crashed on my way to work as it had scanned several public WiFi spots (cafe's and banks I pass by) before deciding to error when I got into the office.

The other security issue I've noticed since the update is the screen lock!

I've noticed that when I go to unlock it is already unlocked - until I restart the phone does this fix the issue.

The padlock icon is unlocked but can be locked manually if I tap it - an inconvenience as I pay a lot of money and expect it to lock.

Please can there be a big fix soon

Now my WiFI icon gets a question mark next to trying to reconnect to the wireless when I walk away and come back.

OK so is there a solution for the Splitscreen issue?

If you're saying simply removing the FB App is going to save battery then am willing to give it a go.
