[Q] How do you orient for portrait use?

So after using the TF for a week or so, I can't decide his to orient the pad while using it in portrait mode. Sometimes it is Camera on the right side. This orientation places the power and sound buttons on top but the headphone jack is on the bottom. Sometimes the other way around. I am curious how others use the TF and if they actuallyhave given this any thought
Whenever I use it in portrait its usually for web browsing or reading books, the placement of the power/volume buttons doesn't really bother me. I usually just have them on the top since its easier to reach up than down.
I orient it however it lets me have the tablet connected to the mains if i need to charge it while i'm using it...stupid short cable

You gotta get yourself a USB 3.0 extension cable. I can actually sit on my couch and charge my TF at the same time now.
In portrait mode, I always use it with the power button up top. It just seems more natural that way.

Poor Blutooth Signal

Last week I replaced my flex ribbon cable because I tore the ribbon cable to the power button while replacing the digitizer.
After installing the new flex cable my blutooth signal has been terrible. When listening to music via S9-HD's when I go to put the phone back in my pocket the audio cuts out just in the motion from texting to placing the phone in my pocket. Also when walking its impossible to listen to any music because it cuts out so much.
What might my problem be? Is the blutooth antenna on the flex cable or did I mess something up when I took apart my phone?
anyone?

We aren't ignoring you dude. I promise. Have you disassembled the phone again and tried wiggling things around?
Finally had the time to take it apart again and wiggled things around. It improved a little bit, but still the range is no where near what it was before I replaced the flex ribbon cable.
Does anyone know which cable is the Bluetooth cable? is it the black one on the left near the white cable or the single black cable on the opposite side? I did notice when I took my phone apart again was a small pinch in the single black cable. Would that pinch be enough to break the wire under the shielding?
I can get pics if needed some time this weekend.

Those types of cables are made of SUPER fine wire. A pinch can easily sever them inside the shielding.
How do i know for sure that the kinked cable is the bluetooth cable? So I can order the right one to eliminate that factor.
Does it look like that?

There are two that look like that.
One on the left side and one on the right when looking at the phone with the back open and the screen facing down.

Well, there is a white and a black cable. The one in the product photo is black. Provided that is not a generic stock photo it should be the black one.

Suitable Stand For Viewing and Charging in Landscape

It seems the connector for charging is at the bottom in landscape and in order to charge whilst on a stand you need clearance for the charging plug, unless you have the connector on the top which is not ideal.
Does anyone know of a suitable stand that will hold the Nexus 10 whilst on charge with clearance for the charging plug?
The Belkin Flipblade Adjust should do the trick.
I use it with my Iconia A700 which also has the charging plug at the bottom.

Changed screen and digitizer. Touchscreen working but screen. Help!

I followed Android Centrals guide to change my broken screen on my Nexus 7. Sadly, the screen won't come on. I can hear that it powers on. I power it on, touch where the back button should be and I can hear that it recognizes my touch but the screen doesn't come on. Can anyone help or direct me to any solutions or ideas? Thank you

There are two cables from the screen assembly to the mainboard. The flat copper looking cable is the digitizer and the other cable, with a plug on the end, is the screen. Make sure that second cable is plugged in tight.

Black Screen

Hi
I'm a long time note line user and am thinking of getting a used note 10.1 2014. I'm concerned about the black screen issue I've read on Amazon reviews. I checked out a review unit a local t-mobile and it had the same problem. Is this really that common? Is there a way to safely get a used one? Thanks for the help.

@swid441 Black screen issue? You backlight bleeding?
Not back light bleeding. It's the issue where screen goes and stays completely black. Tablets is on and capacitive buttons work but no display- all black.

I've had that happen to me after I dropped mine once...with 2 cases on. Anyway, to fix it, I just open up the back and reconnected the screen, very easy to do, I think it jarred the tiny connection. The tablet is so awesome otherwise and it might never happen if I hadn't dropped it
Edit: I popped the back cover off, unhooked the LCD ribbon cable and plugged it back in. Put the cover back on and tried to power on. Nothing happened. Not even the soft keys lit up. Plugged the power cable in and tablet came on like it never had an issue. Glad I found this thread before I spent $150 on the LCD and digitizer.
What did you use to open up your Note? I rebooted my note the other day and the screen was black. The buttons light up but the screen is off. I want t to try and reconnect the cable before I but a new lcd and digitizer.
Did you open it from the front or the back and what did you use?

If its still showing black screen, keep reconecting, smoothing the cable oit and pressing the un sleep key to see if the screen is on. The cable is so sensitive it takes me about 6 tries to get it perfect. I use whatever I have around to open it, like my thin nail file, very carefully, around the silver edges from the front. I remember I saw a youtube video of this somewhere. Good luck
