For the next update...I would LOVE to see threaded txts. Maybe more like the iPhone or Xenon with the bubbles. Also, for it to stay like that so you dont have to just sort it like that every time you go to your message, that would get annoying.

Also I agree with a new theme, flashlight, the ability to zoom more on high resolution and videos, slide to unlock, and for landscape mode when you turn your phone, not just when you txt or in Browser or music player.

For someone being new to the Dare, how does one install the firmware? and how do i download it?

Im not 100% sure if this is the way, but im pretty sure if you do :

Settings and Tools/Phone Info/ Software Update/ Check Now



Like i said, im not 100% positive if thats the way, you might have to download it from the internet, but I dont know.

Hopefully someone who knows will reply soon.

In my opinion the best way to upgrade firmware for this phone would be the following
1. Backup any info
2. Take to your Wireless store and have them upgrade it for you

LG Product Pro, is there any way you can tell us if there is going to be threaded txts and slide unlock now?

Just Wondering...

As soon as I get the info and go ahead I will post the info here, and tweet it on twitter. I haven't seen threaded txt released on an update yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be added to the Dare.

Okay thanks. Eh, I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. I would honestly LOVE for threaded txt. Thanks again.

I would like to see the 3-D cube interface, like on the LG Versa. And slide to unlock would be nice to.

To update the LG Dare firmware all you have to do is go to a Verizon Wireless store and ask for a software update for your phone. It only takes about 20 minutes and it's free.

I really don't think an update for the software for battery life will make a big difference, the efficiency of the battery decreases the longer you been using the phone. You you can't expect an update to fix that.

So I heard it should be out sometime in June, does anyone know if this true?

From where did you hear this from?

heres my suggestions... i see that the lg versa(full touchscreen just like the dare) has Visual Voice Mail... why doesn't the dare? why didn't the dare before that phone came out??

1.Add visual Voice mail to the update.

also Fix the keyboard problem that was supposed to be fixed in update V06.. you know where your textin and you change the keyboard to qwerty by accident and then go back to regular and you get a bunch of 0's behind your words??

2.Fix the type errro from changing from reg keypad layout to qwerty board

i cannot stress this enough of how big of annoyance it is to add "slide" to unlock.. i find myself on the web browser after removing the phone from my pocket all the time... all i can say is im glad i have unlimited data!

3. Slide to unlock feature

i really miss how on my old 8300 i could actually set different text ringers for different ppl.. no not anymore.. not a newer model phone.. that feature is GONE!!

4. different text ringers for different contacts.

and it would be cool to have threaded text messging..

5. add threaded text messaging plzzz

and last but not least... PLZ reinstate the lg dare as the dominant touch screen phone on verizon... GIVE THE DARE the new UI that the versa has AS WELL.. we all know the dare is a better phone over all and the versa has one huge thing over the dare.. and thats the new smother UI!! if we wanted a qwerty board we would have got a voyager or enVtouch.

6. Versa UI to be put on the dare as well!

I bought this phone for 210 up front back in november... i should have the crap the versa has on my phone!.. plz LG do somthing nice for the dare and take this list into consideration=]

O and is there a definate firmware upgrade comin out? its not as important to me as to WHEN the update comes out... but its IF it REALLY WILL come eventually

o and LG.. im from a forum www.lg-dare.com... and i can say that almost every member of a 40,000+ member community is expecting a update with the suggestions above and if not more... PlZ consider them

one thing i would really love that i havent seen mentioned is faster forwarding in the music player! i have a lot of dj sets that are 60 minutes or longer and it takes waaay too long to forward. if you could touch that bar that shows progress of the mp3 to any spot in the track would be amazing!

thanks

i really want threaded texting!!!!!!!
lg product pro, do know at all when this update is coming??

Yeah d3rmish...we all are :/ My brother just got the env touch and it has threaded txting..i like it alot..

So I'm personally hoping that they can come out with it on the Dare...

Just cross your fingers...we will know soon enough.

yeahh. ive been reading on howard forums and alot of them are saying that if v07 comes then it will only be like minor fixes and what not. i really dont want to have to upgrade to an env3 or touch but i gotta get that threaded text.. itd be so handy

I would love to see an automatic lock feature, so before your phone can make calls or text you should put a password in it. That way not just anyone can get your phone and just text people, call people, or if your phone is stolen, that they can't just use it.

As well I would love to see threaded text messages, and slide to unlock, and the ability to buy apps.

I have just seen the recent rush of people wanting to make the phone have the interface of the versa's but the thing is is that LG is not willing to spend their time to work on remaking an already good UI for the Dare.

Also apps are a no can do with LG because they do not have a developer kit like the iPhone just to let you know.

LG Dare has lost it's thunder, it has been like almost a year that the Dare have been in the top, Versa and EnVTouch are now in the storm.
