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
Didn’t really go away, did they? Glass, plastic and metal all exist in different price ranges.
You can say the same with everything I mentioned
I disagree, because most of those are now rare. Sure, you might find some, but they have essentially gone. Metal backs simply have not.
You misunderstood, you missed the point entirely (I didn’t mean he was right)
what new phones have a headphone jack? I’m hanging onto my Pixel 4a for as long as possible so I can keep using my wired headphones
159 android phones so far in 2023 according to GSMArena but here is the problem not every phone has a headphone jack it is no longer a given to have a headphone jack
