What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies? (lemmy.zip)

For me its the 'Knock Code' that LG had on their phones (I really wish LG still made at least the V series phones)

Basically there was a four-square area and you set up a sequence of where you would tap to unlock the phone. That set of squares was only shown when you set up the code

Then, to unlock your phone, you would tap those areas in the sequence you set up (even with the screen off).

Fingerprint readers are nice, but I really do miss the knock code

Edit: did find this article with a way to do the knock code, but if done wrong, could brick your phone I guess.

Plus, article is from 2014. When I looked at XDA's info on it (they also being the developers) it looks like development on it is over, but individual modules may or may not still be supported by their devs

When did you last buy them? They improved a lot

[–] Anders429 2 points 1 year ago

lol no they haven't. I bought some this year and they are beyond frustrating to connect to, just like they've always been.

Been buying them off and on every few months. Don't.give a damn about wireless headphones though. They'll never sound as good as wired, and fuck needing to charge yet another peripheral.

If its wired then its always connected

If not then only sometimes

Dumb point
