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

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

This may sound dumb… An old Samsung phone I had years ago, came with alarms that gradually faded in. The most memorable, started with the ocean, and the seagulls… Then there was a fog horn in the distance. Slowly the horn got closer, and closer… Until it was all you could hear, and your alarm was going off.

I’ve looked everywhere for the sound file… It must be Locked away in a basement at Samsung somewhere.

One day I’ll find it

Do you want the exact same tone, or are you willing to try something new? My OnePlus has some tones similar to what you’re looking for I think. They start off gradually and gently and I’ve been using the same tone for years now and haven’t started hating it, which says a lot!

Sorry my app wouldn’t show me your comment to reply to, but it was updated yesterday and now I can see it. This playlist has the oneplus alarm tones. The one I like the most is called Dawn. I find it to be the best suited for my preference. There are lots more on that channel if you want to have a look.

That absolutely does. As much as I loved the ship one, and would love to find that one, I found the concept a very healthy way to wake up. Didn’t panicked you, just got you up. Sorry, I may be living under a rock, is a one plus a phone? Or app?

I absolutely know what you mean and feel the same way. I hate being woken up to something that scares the shit out of me. This playlist has the oneplus alarm tones (it’s a phone company, not an app). The one I like the most is called Dawn. I find it to be the best suited one for my preference. There are lots more on that channel if you want to have a look.

idk why, but I felt like doing some digging to find that alarm for you. I stumbled across one that’s so close to your description that I think it has to be it, even if it’s for a BlackBerry, not a Samsung:

That’s a good find. I would love a much longer version of this, like 10 or 20 minutes.

Didn’t even know i needed that, nevermind it used to be a feature on a phone.

The sleep as android app has that feature. Set your alarm tone of choice and you can allow it to fade in. I have used this for years
