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

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

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:
