    Is Android App Data ONLY Available On The Local Device?

    Uhm, not sure if that made a whole lot of sense but.. I've lost my Android mobile, and am getting a replacement with my Bank Insurance. I had a Google account, but I imagine it doesn't backup your application data?

    I've also done a sync to the device if that helps. I'm certain the mobile is somewhere in my house (to my memory that's where I last had it), but I couldn't find it so a replacement is the best option.

    My question here is, with the device sync and linked Google account, would I be able to recover application data? I had my Battle.net authenticator on the device, so I'm pretty darned about that. Doesn't help when you have to provide a Government issued ID in addition to using a fake name. *sigh*

    So, yeah. Cheers.

    Nope, only your 'Google data', like agenda items, contacts, mail (if using GMail) and other Google related services are sync'd by your gmail account. However, some applications have an own online-storage system. It usually works with you having to create an account and then your personal data will be stored on their servers. You won't find such functionality in any games usually. Mostly services like instagram and facebook (duh..)

    Aw. I'm pretty sure the Battle.net authenticator doesn't have online storage. ._. Looks like I'm buying and starting WoW all over again..

    well, my mother has a tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich

    keeps me busy loading her with audiobooks, operas, movies, etc.

    get a cable and plug into your PC

    you get a folder into your remote device

    I've lost the original device like I said in the OP, that's the whole point. ._.
