For me its the βKnock Codeβ 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 XDAβs 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 donβt understand that argument, power banks are widely accessible nowadays, you can charge your phone without downtime, also canβt imagine charging this additional battery, like shutting the phone down jest to charge the second one? Iβm all for user replaceable batteries tho in case of battery degradation and prolonging deviceβs life
While true, my personal gripe is when the main battery goes to shit. Itβs nice to be able to swap it out and get another 3-4 years out of it
Thatβs not the point. Everyone has their reasoning for prolonging the lifespan of their equipment, outdated or not. This mindset of disposable gadgets needs to end.
