Note 4 NO BOTTOM HEADPHONE JACK? is it just me?

Re: NO BOTTOM HEADPHONE JACK? is it just me?

I pretty much always have my phone in my pocket bottom down.
.

Me, too. I am now trying to figure out why. Pretty much the only reason I can come up with is that instinctively, while bumping the phone around and moving about, I just sort of felt it should be oriented right side up. Not that that necessarily has any validity to it considering the way the screen orientation can change. I like the jack on the top, though. That seems more natural since half the time I'm resting the phone against something.

I don't mind it being on the bottom.

I like the jack at the bottom and have my phones bottom up with the screen facing my leg. I assumed that's how most people would have put their phone in their pants, but I guess not.

Doesn't bother me either way ... Using Bluetooth.

Same for me except the top of the phone is near the opening of my pocket.

When Apple came out with the iPhone 4, they moved the jack to the bottom of the phone. I suspect it was a space issue and they didn't have the room at the top anymore. But... they advertised the hell out of it, making it sound like it was a revolutionary move, that only they could have thought of. Samsung, created an ad making a joke of the change in position: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJafiCKliA8

Jack on the bottom is the only way to go. I would thin most people put their phone into their pocket with the bottom up and screen into their leg. So when they pull their phone out of their pocket they are holding it the correct way.

I put my Phone in Bottom first 100% of the time even when I use no headphones .... Don't like the iPhone with it nor Any of the Android phones but isn't a Deal breaker imo

How do you plug in a bottom headphone when the phone is docked?

I usually use bluetooth headphones. I don't care where they put the jack.

I seem to recall older phones having interference problems with the head phone jack being too close to the charging port. Any time you charged your phone while listening to music there was static interference, such as while driving, phone plugged it car stereo while charging.

Not sure which side most smartphones put their bottom location headphone input but seeing the Note 1-4 have the S-Pen slot on the bottom right it only makes sense it is on the top. I use bluetooth anyways.
