What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

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 got a Zenfone it's got a headphone jack a pretty good fingerprint reader, and because the screen is pretty small the battery lasts an ok amount of time (1.5days maybe)

I too came to tell this lady to get a Zenphone when they upgrade. Really underrated handsets imo.
