PS – He’s already taken the phone to the Verizon store and they were not able to get it to boot up. Only the red and white Verizon screen is displayed.

My fiance’s Dare stopped working after only 7 months (he never dropped the phone and always kept it in a protective case.) It’s just a horrible phone. He ended up buying an ENV Touch but has not been able to get the Dare to boot up in order to transfer his contacts to the new phone. (He now uses the backup feature on Verizon’s site – but hadn’t been using it with the Dare.)

My question is whether anyone has a suggestion as to how to boot the Dare in order to view the contact list?

Oh and pretty much every touchscreen phone is gonna have problems with the touch settings. Its just how it is, and if you dont like it get a new phone.
Geez

Ive had the Dare for less than a year and Ive replaced it two times. I just got the second replacement yesterday and not 3 hours after leaving the store my screen started freaking out. The colors are all messed up and it looks like it was pushed in too much or something. This phone sucks and thats why they dont make them anymore. Dont get this phone. Sorry to burst your bubble but the iphone isnt jesus either. You guys taking these comments so personally are idiots and should try to get off the computer long enough to see that. But as for this phone, its crap.
Period.

Greg I’ve had the same problem with my dare, where the haptics function and vibration doesn’t work on my phone. Can anyone help us?

i found out that it’s a firmware problem. go to Verizon tell them you want your dare flashed. it’ll take up to 30 to 40 minutes max depending on how old your firmware is. and if it doesn’t solve the problem, Verizon will check you eligibility for warranty/upgrade. But i couldn’t get the warranty exchange or upgrade cause my phone is unlocked. oh and too check for your firmware version. Go to SETTINGS scroll all the way to the bottom to PHONE INFO. and on the next screen select SW/HW Version the [SW Version] should be VX970V06. if it has V03 than that means you haven’t flashed your phone since you got it.

I am having trouble with the touch screen on my LG Dare. I was unable to unlock the phone to answer 2 calls and 3 voice mails. No matter how hard or softly I pushed on the screen, it wouldn’t unlock. I had to shut it down and then it would unlock. Anyone have any ideas?

I’ve had 2 LG Dares in the last 5 months. The LG Dare i had the first 4mnths one froze up when I sent a txt msg. It said “message sent” until the backlight went off. When i first bought the phone i loved that i could reply to texts faster than on my Samsung Alias [SCH-U740]. I could also send pic msgs in like 20 secs at the most. [depending on where the contact I was sending 2 was in my contacts]. After freezing up for two months, it froze up COMPLETELY after i turned it off and tried 2 turn it on again 2hrs later.

I got a replacement LG Dare since i have insurance and they boss told the employee he had 2 replace my phone according 2 the warranty.
Now I’ve had this Dare for one month and its already starting 2 freeze up when I send txts. It restarts EVERY TIME i send a pic msg. It cant be because I send and receive over 1000 txts per month. It has 2 be the phone.

if anyone knows how 2 fix this, please let me know. Im going 2 get a different phone before this phone doesnt come on like the last one didnt.

thanks 4 reading this whole comment
