As the title say, I have 2 android phones , both factory reset and logged in with google accounts. Checked the dns logs on both-

Phone 1 connects to google server but is minimal

Phone 2 is going bonkers, connecting to google server , xtracloud server etc.

Phone 2 battery drops 5% in a hour and phone 1 doesnt drain at all.

Which bring me to the conclusion that phone battery draining has something to do with google accounts as phone 1 google account has fake name and details but other has real name and also a phone number linked to that account.

Please feel free to correct me. Thanks

    Just MicroG.

    I have another cellphone with vanilla LineageOS on it and it too saw a dramatic battery life improvement, of the same order as the almost doubling I see with the Fairphone. I don't think MicroG makes much difference.
