I just thought I'd mention something I have noticed about the new ReadyCLOUD app (ver 1.2.3) for Android. I use a Nexus 4 phone and last week loaded the app as part of my tinkering, after the upgrade to 6.5.0 on my RN312 (which worked flawlessly for me - thanks devs). I began to notice that my phone battery was dying a lot quicker than usual, but I thought it was just that the phone is 3 years old, and was trying to tell me it needs replacing. After checking what was causing the drain, I found that the ReadyCLOUD app had used nearly 50% of the battery in the last day! Even weirder was that this was not caused by data traffic (either WiFi or 3G), as very little had been used in the last 24 hours. I had not even used the app over the last 24 hours, and am almost religious about turning off all unecessary apps to conserve battery power anyway. So how can the app be sucking the battery dry? I have uninstalled the app and will see if the battery problem continues, to rule out anything else, but this is not good - batteryt power is sacrosanct. Am I the only one?7.2KViews0likes24CommentsApps operation failed. Application 'elc' cannot be installed on lastest firmware 6.7.4
When added Egnyte Storage Sync for NetGear on my ReadyNAS Cloud, I'm getting a "Apps operation failed. Application 'elc' cannot be installed.
