Verizon Location Agent

Help on the way!

Just received this from Verizon/HTC tech support with regard to the VLA battery drain issue..

"A fix for the issue is under review and will be included in the next Software Update (SU2) for this device. The tentative release date is late March."

and before you ask, there was no indication as to whether or not SU2 contains ICS.

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.

mine doesn't show as battery use either, but i'm only getting like 8-9 hours out of my battery now, when i usually get 15-16. i haven't done anything different and now after the update, my battery life is ****.

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?

My Husband's Rezound isn't rooted and bone stock as well. I updated the VZW Location app and opened it from the market. I got the message about it being incompatible and It's no longer running and my Husband's battery life is fine.
So the update method DOES work for some.

No, to update he means in the android market. Just type in Verizon location agent in the market search and it should show up. Then click on it and it should give you the option to update it. Click update and it is supposed to say not compatible and freeze the app.
