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

Predictive text like my Nokia's T9. It knew how English worked and what the probability of a word in context was.

Now it's all: "the same time and consideration and I are going to be a good time to get the latest Flash player is required for video playback is unavailable right now because this video is not available for remote playback is unavailable right now because this...."

You're absolutely right now I have a lot of people who are able to get up and get some sleep well and have sweet dreams to you too much and I love you too and I'm sorry for the late reply I am so sorry for the late reply to you too and I'm sorry I just got home from work and I love you too and I'm sorry for the late reply I am so sorry for the late reply ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even going back just a couple of years - the ability to default to entering what you actually typed rather than what the AI thinks you should have typed.

It used to be a benefit of android over ios - but now any unusual spelling you type just gets replaced by the nearest dictionary word or brand name, and backspace doesn't even get your word back.
