Hi everybody,
I have this really weird battery drain and even I did everything to change it and replaced SIM, SD etc nothing works.
Is it possible, that google account is draining my battery somehow? Sync?
If yes, can I back up that account and that restore it and load it or something like that?

Merci

The account is an entry in a database in a Google server, so it can't "do" anything. Having the account on your phone doesn't do anything either.

Syncing uses wifi or mobile data, both using radio transmitters, so if you're syncing a lot, that will use a lot of battery. How much you sync depends on how you use your phone and how much you have enabled to sync. For instance, if you play all your music from the cloud, it uses a lot of battery. If you take a lot of pictures and have pictures synced it uses a lot of battery.

What you're really asking is how to use something that used battery without using battery - and you can't. Figure out what you're doing that uses a lot of battery that you don't have to do and stop doing it. For instance, have all your music on the phone. Sync your pictures when the charger is plugged in. Etc.

Ok, thank you.
I dont play music from cloud and I dont backup pictures. Ive pretty much all the google apps but I do everything normally.
So you are saying that even if i am signed in google account and I turn off Sync, than that is basically turning off the accounts possibility to drain the battery?
