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
You don’t have to buy phone brand headphones. There are other wireless ones.
Wireless ones suck. And the dongle is a shitty DAC that determines what your wired headphones’ tone is like. I’ve got a couple dongles that really only work well in my car’s tape adapter, and others that only sound okay on certain headphones. It’s a crapshoot.
When did you last buy them? They improved a lot
Been buying them off and on every few months. Don’t.give a damn about wireless headphones though. They’ll never sound as good as wired, and fuck needing to charge yet another peripheral.
If its wired then its always connected
If not then only sometimes
Dumb point
You can get good dongles, but you will pay for it.
I have a Bluetooth receiver that I plug my wired headphones into now.
Yes but you’ll always see the phone manufacturers advertising that you should get their product since it’s guaranteed to work or all the other products are inferior or some other excuse, even if you decide to go with another brand.
