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

This is very interesting, makes me wanna share my experience too, in my case between 2 different custom ROMs, but with the same phone:
Lineage OS for microG but without device registration, cloud messaging and safety net disabled
/e/OS which is essentially lineage os for microg + tracker blocker but with all the device registration, cloud messaging and safety net enabled
Both are rooted with magisk.
e OS would consume MUCH more battery compared to my previous installation of Lineage, so i was wondering if those microG settings can actually change this much, or if pheraps it is the tracker blocker or something else… Another difference is that e/os has a more recent Android version than the version of LOS for microg i was using.
Was your Calyx install clean or it had Gapps or microg or something similar?
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.
