@ A9l8e7n

but I would just like to know in your own opinion do you believe that an update to the lg dare will be coming soon?

. I have to say I really do not know. I thought that there would have already been one.

Look, the only 2 features I would like to see added are related to security/phone locking. I can live with everything else about the phone.

The first feature is some sort of a 2-button-combo unlock function versus the current single press to unlock the phone. This would eliminate my frequent unintended "butt" calls to friends and my being charged for data fees while unintentionally activating some web service/function.

The second feature is a real "lock" button or quick 2-button combo press that locks the phone, then requires the security password before unlocking. Either one of these 2 important features would make mine's and a lot of other Dare users' lives much easier.

@ LGProductPRo

Do you not have any inside contacts?

You to agree that what VZW has done is Wrong .... Don't answer that I know you can not due to the fact that they are your customer.

But either way they truly are showing their true colors -------

Exp.. of this is Telus is part of VZW --- Telus has the Java enabled and VZW disabled it..

Could you not find some contacts with in LG that we the END Users could contact to get something done..

even though VZW is LG's customer ..... The True Customer of LG is us ... we are the people that buy and use the products so you would think that LG would like to make sure we are happy with our products..

The biggest problem i have with all of this is the fact that the phone can do so much more then what VZW is letting it do and charging so much for this..

Can LG justify the Price Tag on this phone in the state that its in ???? Really I just don't understand this and this is the main reason most of us is upset... and still can not get any answers.

I know that LG could release things that would allow the phone to work as designed.

One person with in LG said that LG designs the phones based on customer request but if your designs are based on customer request then way are you running contest to come up with new phones?

All LG has to do is give us a way to modify firmware ... I mean allow us to create our own firmware .. Is this to much to ask for ... really If we wait for VZW to release the firmware we will be here waiting for ever and still not get what we desire..

I have been told that VZW was not going to release any firmware for the Dare .. This came form VZW sales team which could be wrong because i also was told that they would still release firmware even though VZW discounted the Dare..

Maybe you can confirm this for us....

Giving the fact that the Firmware should have been released by now it seems that the Sales Team that said they would not be releasing Firmware was correct..

Also VZW said they would be allowing Java but after reading a E-mail that one of the Sales Team showed me .. That VZW is full of it and only the phones they call smart phones will be able to use Java which this is already true so their was need for VZW to say they was going to allow Java in their handsets ...

It seems that VZW likes to Practice lying to the Public all the way up the ladder ... No wonder way when i bought my phone the sales people told me it had Java and Full web Browser..

I have already posted link to the Suns conference where VZW made the announcement that they would embrace Java in their phones..

If you don't want to post any response to this that's fine ... YOU can PM me with your response As you can see through out my Post I never give Names of the source of info...

Save your company from being put in the same list as VZW where The end user does not matter..

Think about it they must have took extra time on making sure that customizing your phone was impossible.. The only thing you can really customize is the web browser and then you have to be able to modify the Firmware and have a to load it on the phone .. which then you void your warranty on the phone and all other graphics for menus and so forth is hidden with in the firmware to keep people from being able to get to them to change..

Which i understand that somethings has to do with Memory but most other phones are easy to customize ..

In fact I can not believe that VZW did this to their firmware just because of the fact that they like to make things that people want and make them pay for it but the way this firmware is they can not easily make new themes for phone either which I could see them trying to sale to make even more money..

this seems to be the issue for all LG phones that VZW sales... so who really makes the part of the Firmware where it controls the look of the app's.. I mean the phone uses Brew so why not make the Icon's and Images into a Bar file and make a program that would allow user to pic and choose or load customized images... This program could resize any image to make sure the file size is correct and make the Bar file ... Then you could have the app able to connect to phone and load new Images...

Is this to make to ask for .. Really any good programmer could have an App done in a day that could do all of this but wait they did not make the GUI this way did they ...

they use Flash for this but they want let the browser which can use flash not be able to ....



VZW closed the thread down but I started a New one that will give every one a chance to say what they want and its open ended so this thread should stay open..

Hope to see all of you their Giving your feed Back... LGProductPro why not come over their and jump on in help your company be all it can be and save them from such negativity that VZW as put upon you..

Shadow Walker I copied and pasted the link you posted but i can't get on there. Verizon says "Access Denied". So how do I get on there?

It says access denied for me too.

I would like to see the way the screen is locked changed to be a motion rather than a single touch. Also an update to the browser couldn't hurt, like tabbed browsing maybe? And finally I would like to see threaded messaging. That's about it. I am sure that there are other things to change but this would really make me happy. I love the Dare. It does most of what I need it to do and it does it well. LGProductPro, is there anyway that we can get some answers on whether on not there will be a firmware update for the Dare? There has to be someone that you can talk to and find something out. They kept giving out updates for the Voyager even past the end, so why not the Dare? Thanks for anything that you can do to help. We would just like to get some answers if we could.

I guess that there is no information or else someone would have posted it. LGProductPro, is there any word on this yet?

Sorry, I do not know if or when a software update will be released. I know that there is a lot of talk about an update for the Dare. We shall see.

Where are you hearing all the talk about there is going to be an update? Did you just start hearing it?

I am with you Jo-Dawg, where is this talk coming from? Is it coming from LG? Verizon? or the forums? I would really like to know what is going on. I think that an update is overdue for this phone. There is a lot that I like about it but there are some issues that I know should be fixed. I would like to see some upgrades as well. They have done that with the Voyager, why not the Dare?

Well I am really close to just letting the hope go for any type of support from either LG or Verizon on the Dare since it has been discontinued. I guess that I was still holding on to that last little bit of hope that maybe we Dare owners would get a phone update that should have come out long ago. Hopefully one still shows up but I for one am not holding my breath.

It is funny how she just dissapears randomly at like weeks at a time.

Let's face it. The Dare has been abandoned by LG. As you can see the things we wanted on the Dare are on other phones that are out now (LG EnV Touch, LG Chocolate). If there was another firmware update it would have came out by now and since verizon kicked the Dare to the curb the chances of you working for ferrari is greater than another firmware update coming out for the Dare. So Dare owners enjoy the phone to the fullest. Use the phone to its full capabilities as I am with mine.

It's 1/22 and about a week ago or so I was in a Verizon store having a conversation with the store manager. He went on as though there was a very good chance that v7 would be released. Wouldn't share much at all but talked as though it was going to be released. Said to look on PhoneScoop, which I have, and have found nothing. I'm pressed him pretty hard as I've had a Dare since 1/09 and upgraded in Feb to v6 of the f/w. Wish I had more info. He gave me a pretty clear feeling something was coming and he thought it would be worthwhile for Verizon.

Anyone know of anything?

Did he say whether the update would be soon, or just said there would be one. Cuz im tired of waiting and i really don't want to wait a few more months for it.

You should go back to him and make sure he is thinking of the LG Dare. Ask him how he thinks there is a very good chance of it getting released.

So anything new SBMongoos.

Ugh. I hate people like SBMongoos where they will post 1 post that is interesting and then they just dissapear. Either the guy at Verizon was lying or he was lying.

The Skins look great! They don't look like they would provide any protection against dropping or being bumped, but might provide some protection against scratches... I think they're main function is to look cool.
