LG

LG, please consider the suggestions in this thread for inclusion in the Dare's next firmware upgrade.

I would love to see a Slide to Unlock feature (vice the current touch to unlock). Too many people are finding themselves accidentally making calls when the phone unlocks in their pockets. A Slide to Unlock would prevent that.

Other suggestions are Visual Voice Mail (VVM) and full Flash Internet browsing.

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion. LG certainly takes them into consideration. I agree the Visual Voicemail would be great on all phones.

I personally would like to see the video utilize the ENTIRE length and width of the Dare screen and I agree with the addition of a sliding unlock on the phone. Lastly, I would like to have the ability to password-protect your text messages, kinda like voicemail.

My two cents!

Other suggestions are: folks would like the keyboard to have a delete button to delete text to the right of the cursor along with the clear button (clears text to the left of the cursor).

I would also like a slide to unlock like an iphone, and threaded text messages.

Yet ANOTHER suggestion is voice to text capability. We know the Dare has speech recognition... let's put it to good use in the Notepad by allowing it to take dictation. Possible? And does the device have enough internal memory to support full flash Internet browsing?

Another input:

While putting in all my phone numbers, I found out that there is a limit on how many contacts you can put in a certain group. I have about 20-30 people that I want to put in my colleagues group.

I was limited to having only 10 in that group. WHAT?!?!?!

How come we can hold up to 1000 contacts in our Dare, but can't have more than 10 contacts in any one group?

If you have the ability to have 1000 contacts, then you should have the ability to put all 1000 in one group (which is ridiculous) and the Dare won't complain.

I would love to have this missing feature back that I had on my enV and an older phone:

The ability to have a different ringtone for texts and calls for contacts
Having one generic text tone is just not acceptable.
(I'm not joking, as my children have lost the ability to speak and only text, I like to know when it is them)
: )

Respectfully,

the music player will not play any song higher than #256 on the list, whenever shuffle mode is turned on. Not only will it not include them during s "play all" command, but it will not even play a song that has been selected directly from the song list, if that song is higher than position 256 on the list AND shuffle mode is ON. This is extremely limiting and irritating on a device that, with a card, can hold many times that number of songs -- to only be able to play the first 256 songs while shuffle is turned on.

A fix for this condition on the next firmware update would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,

Looks like I had a foot-in-mouth moment. I'm hearing that v06 corrected the above problem, I'll have to update before posting!

While we're wishing for improvements... the ability to make folders in My Pix and My Videos would be great in helping to organize large libraries. Any way to do that too?

Definitely important! Why is the awesome Dare limited to just one ringtone for all incoming text messages? It would be so easy to set different tones for different contacts. LG, can it be done by firmware?

i would love to see threaded txt messages as mentioned above.

re: the unlock feature. would it be possible to enable a manual lock w/ the lock button (on the side of the phone), that can only be unlocked by using the same button? it would be a good start.

also, +1 to:
visual voicemail
txt to speech
separate clr & delete on the keyboard
full screen video
slide to unlock
increase group limit

thx.

I think these should be included in the new firmware update: visual voicemail, txt to speech, separate clr & delete on the keyboard, full screen video, slide to unlock, increase group limit, and also enable the fonts to take effect on majority of the phone (text messages, main menu, contacts, etc.) not just the basic menus!

thanks, lg's the best!

I agree with Chief. The touch unlock should be a slide feature not a tap. Also, after I unlock the scree, I don't think the screen should flash "screen unlocked". I know this already! Also, after I delete an SMS don't to see the animation of the SMS going to the trash can. It gets a little annoying. Thanks. Looking forward to the changes in the next firmware upgrade.

Ok, a few more suggestions...

Unintrusive text/call notifications:
While texting, if a new text message comes thru, it interrupts your current texting to let you know a new one arrived. It would be nice not to be interrupted while texting. At times, I hit the "View Now" button and begin texting another person. Also, this happens when a new call comes thru. Maybe have a small button towards the bottom or side so you don't answer by mistake would be nice.

Ability to suppress text notifications:
If you don't want to be notified that a new message has arrived, it can be delivered but in a "silent" type way. Simply have it appear in your inbox and not announce that a new one is waiting for you to "View Now" or "View Later".

Touch screen improvements:
The touch screen sensitivity could be improved a bit more.

Camera enhancements:
In the highest resolution, you should be able to zoom. That functionality is only available in the low resolution mode.

BTW, I hope everyone is taking time to pass these wonderful suggestions over to LG's website. It's nice making mention to wants/desires here, but the only way we will see enhancements is by telling the source

I would like to see ...
1. a web browser update. so it would better handle java script, or perhaps option to install opera mini or other web browsers.
2. language pack would be really nice... no more broken characters on web
3. I second on full screen for video clips.

A Font that supports Non-english characters.

No fun trying to figure out what song is what because the titles show up looking like "~" instead of "???????????????????"

there should be threaded texting or have it when you hit sort by sender it stays like that....slide to unlock the phone...maybe make the keys larger when you text in portrait mode....better touch response and new themes

I would love to see the threaded txt as well.
