Not working on en.CA rom, here's what I did:

1. Grabbed the stable zip, extracted the SystemUI.apk from it, then:

2. adb push SystemUI.apk /data/tmp/

3. Started root explorer and mounted /system/app as RW

4. Then:

adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
mv SystemUI.apk SystemUI.old
mv SystemUI.odex SystemUI.odex.old
cp /data/tmp/SystemUI.apk .
chown root.root SystemUI.apk
chmod 644 SystemUI.apk

After reboot I have no status bar, had to revert back to the old apk/odex combo.

more bull**** bloatware from the assholes at Verizon that was sneakily installed with our ota. lovely. i've seen some reports on phandroid.com forums of it keeping people's phones awake and using a good % of their battery. go to the market, you can update it, but but can't uninstall it. good job, verizon.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Just noticed it chewing up my battery. Anyway to fix the drain?
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
I used Rom Toolbox yesterday to remove a bit of bloat from the ota rom. So far no problems.
[HTC Rezound] jimbiss:
I noticed that it has kept my phone awake for 16 hours also. Guess it is time to root so i can freeze some bloat
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
I actually updated it from the market and it stopped running because it "isn't compatible". Froze it to be safe though.

Exactly! Why verizon has to keep screwing with our phones is beyond amazing. There a way to get this pos crapware to stop running without root?
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I see there are other android devices that got this in previous updates.

What the hell is it, and why aren't more people up in arms over it!

The name of it alone is spooking me out.

Oh and the lost battery life isn't thrilling either.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Probably a way to locate your phone for whatever reason. may or may not be used most likely as a "find my phone" tool as T Mobile uses, or that could be the scapegoat reason.

I'm assuming/hoping the devs pumping out ROMs from here on out will have it removed.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Just root and freeze it. No issues after freezing.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Is this just a normal app in the app drawer after OTA, or is it hidden somewhere, if so, where is it?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
it's hidden, ya can't open it from what i can tell

Where can we find it? Root Explorer, then what? That's how I usually disable things.

[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Check out an app called Rom Toolbox. The free version will work fine.

Once you start it up, run its App Manager, and there will be a list of apps, and you can filter the apps by downloaded, system, etc.

Also has the option to backup the apps first, in case things go bad and you want to restore. I've tried the restore option but some apps didnt reinstall for me well. But anyway, i use it to uninstall stuff that I know is safe.

Hope that helps. Good luck with however you chose to uninstall apps.

[HTC Rezound] jeffe65:
It's supposed to search for the best connection/tower/whatever on the network, is what I read on another forum - and drain your battery in the process. To disable it on the Rezound (if you're not rooted) go to the Market and download the update. Then find it in your app drawer, and when you tap on it, it will tell you it's not compatible with your device. You can close it at that point, and it stops running. Otherwise, you'll be lucky to get 8hrs standby time on your battery.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
ok should we hit uninstall to uninstall updates, or just close it?

cuz its still running after i back out when it says incompatible

So I would need ROM Toolbox to get rid of it, because I usually just rename things in Root Explorer to .bak

[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
I usually get about 13-14 hours with moderate use and I actually have had better these last two days after the update so I'm not really worried it just is annoying that Verizon adds these stupid apps in the first place especially vcast apps. I can't wait for ics or s-off so I can root and get rid of this ****. I'm especially excited about Joel getting a rezound now also. I think you remember him over on the dinc?

Mine pops up a message after every reboot that says that the" one or more location services are enabled, I clicked okay instead of "never warn" but it has done that the day I got it before the OTA i download like 2 days ago
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Interesting. Stock here, no root, received OTA update last week with everyone else. I have not noticed the Verizon Location Agent eating battery at all. Nor do I have a Market update for it.

In fact, I just checked in System Panel, and it's consumed minimal CPU for the last 3 days. It seems to be rather well behaved.

Maybe it's because I probably don't switch towers all that often? I live 6 blocks away from work so I generally stay in one area 99% of the time.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Nope

Stock / locked.

Yes, you can search for Verizon Location Agent in the market, and yes you can update your copy.

However, when you run it, and are greeted with "not supported" your choices are "uninstall" or "learn more".

Uninstall ONLY REMOVES THE UPDATE. It even tells you "you can still use the factory version of the application".

Thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Thoughts? I want temp root back or an s-off method by our fantastic developer community
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Fixed the issue for me at least. I'm on my brand new replacement Rezound and went through the ota right out of the box.

I have Verizon location off under settings before ota and after ota and now the location agent is gone. Not running, no battery used, not keeping the phone awake.. My last Rez with the ota had it running constantly and using 5-10% battery by the end of the day.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I too just got a replacement rezound ( Speaker stopped working on the old one) new one is excellent, red keys, no dead pixels..etc.

ran the OTA right away, I don't see the 'verizon location agent' on the 'whats using the battery screen'

but I do still see it in the running service screen... there's also an HTC location action as well.

I'm probably gonna just unlock/root and take care of this business.

"I renamed vzw_LocAgent_Preload.apk to *.ap_ and restarted my phone. I don't show the process running any more."

Is there anyway to rename the file without rooting? Can a Verizon Tech (or would the even) rename it in store?

I've got the old version (0.0.0.62) of VLA, and reading the thread, there doesn't seem to be a consistent answer as to whether or not doing the update from the Marketplace just to get to the "incompatible" message really does the trick.

Right now, I see it running in "All running" under applications, but it has only shown up once under the battery usage graphic (and when it was there, it was insane.. 12% battery and 24+ minutes of CPU). I've not seen it show up again though.

My phone seems to go to sleep O.K., but when I check my "up time" and "awake time" there is only about 5 hours difference in the last 48 hours, and I know it has been asleep for more than that (unless I'm not using the term asleep correctly). From the documentation, it sounds like it is when the display times out or when you press the top button once quickly...

So in a quandary as to whether I've really got the issue or not?? Have reported to Verizon, have a case number and has been escalated. They confirmed that it did come with the OTA, but aren't sure (or aren't saying) why.

The rep I worked with on the phone said to factory reset, and just not accept the OTA, but my understanding was with the HTC OTA, there was a timer window to respond in and if you didn't it applied the update anyway..

Not ready to fully root yet as I'd like to see the official ICS first but would sure like to get this VLA thing off the phone..

Last question... I just did a Software Update under Settings, hit Check New and nothing happened.. I expected at least a message back saying I was current (or not).... Thoughts?

Thanks..

[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
No. You would need to be rooted to do this, and the store people would not be able to either.
[HTC Rezound] murhaava1:
I had then same problem before that the check new would neither report that an update was available or that I was up to date. It would check for 2-5 seconds and then the window would just disappear. What I had to do was get a refurb from verizon support. I activated my SIM on the refurb and then factory reset my old phone and activated on the old phone. Once that happened I was able to get the OTA and now when I run check new it says that there is no software update available. It might be easier for you to go into a store and try that with a demo phone if theyll let you otherwise you could call in for a refurb and then just send the refurb back which is what I had to do. Something about activating on a different phone worked cause I had tried multiple factory resets prior to trying it on the refurb.

Any chance or way to get at the system folder when the phone is USB attached to the computer, e.g. Show hidden folders under Windows or through some Windows app?

Also, just realized I was doing a lot of out of state traveling and never saw the VLA app show in the battery usage area, but I was using the HTC extended battery.. Why or how could that make any difference???

[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
No. When you are connected to the computer only the /sdcard and /sdcard2 "folders" are presented as drives. None of the other filesystems including /system are included. /system is a r/o filesystem. The only way to make it r/w is to have root. The only way to access it, would be via adb or using something like Root Explorer with a rooted device.
[HTC Rezound] JaySinCT:
Thanks.. I actually just got a call from Verizon Tech that has been working on it with me. Seems like it's finally really caught the attention of Verizon and HTC. Seems like (they're saying) that VLA is attached to VZ Navigator, which in my opinion doesn't relate to VLA coming on by itself especially when I didn't sign up for Navigator, but maybe that's part of the bug issue. Anyway, they told the tech CSR I'm working with that they're actively trying to separate the two functions and fix via an update. Of course no time frames, but they are asking her to have me check version numbers, etc. of things on my phone so sounds at least somewhat promising. :-)
