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
I kinda miss flip phones? These days phones are too big for my hands and pockets. I find myself buying cheaper phones just so it’s a little smaller.
And if you want a flip phone now it’s actually much worse than flip phones were when they were commonplace. It’s bizarre.
Because today phones are all jewelry instead of screwdrivers.
Man… The Motorola Razr v3.
Fuck, That thing was so goddamn cool
I wanted it so goddamn bad that even now I feel the twangs of heartache over never having got one.
I loved my candy bar phone. My purse got stolen and I was most upset about losing that phone. I had programmed custom ringtones into it. I still feel fonder of that phone than I do about my iPhone, I think because the iPhones are pretty soulless and that little teal phone had plenty of character.
Well that’s technically making a comeback with the bendable displays.
