OK, if OP means that type of lock, then, no you cannot make a call when locked.

Although, it is not clear to me why one would want BT to bypass the lock in this manner. It seems the PIN or pattern lock would be pointless. If the phone is stolen (or lost) the person who stole it (or found it) could have access to your phone's contents through bluetooth. Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Definitely missing something. He wants the phone to be able to make calls while the phone is locked which is why i suggested to keep it unlocked by enabling driving mode through the mount.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GeorgeP:
My point was that allowing bypassing the lock through BT creates a exposure many would not want. The simplest solution might be keeping it unlocked either using a mount as you suggest, or using one of the profile apps that lets you create a profile to keep the phone unlocked when plugged in. He could then plug it into the car power adapter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chaplain:
I use a pattern lock, and can make calls through the built-in BT in my car when the phone is locked. I can dial on the car's touch screen (disabled when the car is in motion, except for pre-set speed dials), or tell it to call someone by pressing a button on the steering wheel and saying the name. The car BT compares the spoken name with the list of contacts from my phone that have been BT-loaded into the car's contact list. Nevertheless,the call is made though the phone, since the vehicle BT is not itself a phone. Has anyone noticed that we have not heard again from Rajah, the originator of this thread? Rajah, are you there? Were your issues resolved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hchxoom:
I tested today and can confirm the issue is not an android or sgs2 limitation... no problem making calls via my Ford's built-in sync Bluetooth while the phone was locked with a PIN
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rajah Donalt:
Just to put closure to this, the situation has been remedied. AT&T is swapping my phone with an iPhone. I talked to a lot of unhelpful, unfriendly, and uncaring customer service people but finally reached someone who understood the issue and was willing to resolve the situation fairly.

It's also confirmed without a doubt that by default Android OSs (at least up to 2.3.x) deny bluetooth control while the phone is locked (PIN/pattern locked, not just screenlocked). As I stated in my original post calling this a security feature is crazy - *most* people don't need this level of security especially when it it compromises the ability to use the phone safely. Already paired devices are not a huge security risk - someone would have to steal the phone *and* the bluetooth device (in this case my car). To have this as a default, unchangeable behavior is asinine.

Those of you who are reporting your phone works fully with bluetooth even when locked are in the minority - either you're just screenlocking the phone (no PIN/pattern required), you're plugging into a device which disables locking (some recent built in car systems have this feature apparently) or you've got a rare model that has bluetooth bypass. Go buy a lottery ticket cause you're lucky!

For now I'm jumping off the Android bandwagon. Good luck and again thanks to those who made constructive replies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolpal:
Glad your issue is resolved, but sad that you had to switch phones to do so... I know it's a major inconvenience, but to me it's probably not a deal breaker to switch phones altogether.. here's hoping a software update will fix it.

I have been an iPhone user since the original came out until iPhone4 (using every model released, including 4s for a few weeks), and the reason I chose SGS2 over the 4s was that the 4s not a worthy upgrade to me from my 4 (which I still have as a backup) and I was itching to try android.. (EDIT: oh and forgot to mention, the 96c for SGS2 vs $199 for 4s is something I couldn't pass up) i think there are some things i like in Android and SGS2 in particular, and there are some i miss from the iPhone, but this voice dial issue is something I am willing to work around for the time being, or maybe just use a different voice dailer.

And oh btw, for the people who said it works fine for them, I second what @Rajah Donalt said..

EDIT: And I just realized this is my first post since I joined (in Jan 2007, during the winmo days).. kind of ashamed really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
As you should be. Five years here and not a single reason to be flamed to a crisp? Shameful.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rajah Donalt:
Just for the record I have no ill will for Google/Android - quite the opposite. I chose the SGS2 over the iPhone because I like Google's philosophy much better than Apple's. If my cell phone needs were different and fit within Android's capabilities I would have stayed with the SGS2 - it's been good in every way except that silly being safe while driving thing ;)

Anyway, I'll ride out the next year or 2 with the iPhone. Hopefully Google will use that time to address issues that present critical roadblocks for users like me. If so I will be happy to plunge back into the world of Android.

Peace.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Looks like I am too late here but just to add some more knowledge. It really depends on the ROM and kernel to get it to work. I personally use MIUI by shep211 and it works with the screen locked. My bluetooth device is the built in device with my Chevy Avalanche. All I do is press a button on stearing wheel, say bluetooth, say voice, then say name and it dials and routes call to the bluetooth device. Just another piece of info, if I keep MIUI but flash in the Siyah kernel then this function breaks and bluetooth seldom works, this is how i found out along with a few other tests it is a combo of coding inside of the ROM and the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chaplain:
I used Android 2.2 w/a Captivate w/out a problem, until I mismatched a rom & kernel. Switched kernel, no prob. I have always used a pattern lock, along w/ std lock screen. Doesn't come across very well to ask for help, then tell the folks trying to help you that they don't have enuf sense to know whether their phones are locked or not. Whoever told you about AOS not working w/BT is just wrong. If you have, an i-9100 rom, you have to run an I-9100 kernel, and not mix it w/an i777 kernel.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I also confirmed it works on miui.

I tried pattern unlock, pin unlock, and password unlock.

I am using a stereo Bluetooth headset, Motorola s305. Once locked I pressed the mic button, and was prompted "speak now" and was able to place a call every time (Side note, I never have issues anymore with android voice commands. The only advice I can give is that when I noticed the phone always confirms the "on mobile" I include that in my request; call whoever "on mobile", or "at home", etc, depending on the contact). When I called my voicemail I was even able to type my pin on screen without having to unlock. So, the dial pad was accessible. But, if I pressed home I was prompted to unlock.

Out of all the ROMs I try, I always come back to miui.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GeorgeP:
It also works fine on unrooted stock. I just tried to use the phone while pin locked through my car's built in bluetooth. It worked fine. I noted earlier in the thread that it does not work with my bluetooth headset and Vlingo (which I wouldn't want anyway since Vlingo can launch an app).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
It works fine in my stock S2 with my built in bluetooth from my caddy. I did not have to do anything special for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] audrey_kauffman:
Bluetooth headset can't dial when Galaxy S2 screen locked

My personal experience is that my car bluetooth (Toyota Sienna 2011 van) can make calls over bluetooth when my Galaxy S2 is locked with a pin, but my Jawbone Icon headset cannot since it has to access Vlingo to voice dial and Vlingo will not launch when the phone is screen locked with a password. Our corporate network Exchange server requires a 4-digit pin to lock the phone, so there's no way I can remove that just to dial voice calls in the car using my Jawbone icon. Fortunately, car bluetooth systems don't require Vlingo to dial (since the numbers are stored within the car's system) and so I can make calls when I'm driving handsfree, as is required in the state of California. It is really frustrating, though, to have such a great phone that cannot dial through a bluetooth headset without turning the phone on and unlocking the screen so that the bluetooth headset button can launch Vlingo. Does anyone know whether Google/Samsung has any plans to rectify this situation or whether there is any Android software out there that will work with the Samsung Galaxy S2 (without rooting the phone) to get around the Vlingo launching issue? Thanks for any help you can offer with this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudbone55:
Samsung Galaxy S4 has the setting to fix this.

Go to Settings > My Devices > Call > Call Accessories > Outgoing Call Conditions and select "Even when device is locked". Not sure why they did not put it under the Bluetooth settings but at least it can be changed. I use this phone in a 2013 Honda Accord. I thought it was my cars software until I found this setting. I will never use an iPhone:)

Hi this app does not work on miui but should work on cm7

https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52aXNpb24udmlwY2FsbHNlbmciXQ..

can anybody fix this that this works?

i get these infos from the developer:

cant test it with miui but I have heavily test it with CM7 and use it myself for 7 months.

So I dont think that ROM is problem. But on some phones problem exists and those phones want ring when you change silent to normal mode after call already started.

No developer can do anything about that :(.

Check if your ring volume level set to some normal level, use widget to go to silent not volume down!

If problem persiss try checking "force ring" in app with media volume set to some normal level. (when force ring is used media volume is important not ring volume!)

I found out that if i use this app to mute all without media sound then it works. but in miui normally is the media sounds also on loud but works not. any idea why? https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jYi52b2x1bWVQbHVzIl0.

I have a new Samsung Focus S, and I am having the hardest time trying to get a custom ringtone on the phone.

I have followed all the instructions that are out there, have an MP3 (non-DRM) file that is 37 seconds long, 500kb in size and have the 'Genre' set to "ringtone" (and I even tried "Ringtone"). When I sync it over to my phone, it doesn't show up on my ringtones list in Settings -> Ringtones.

Please advise. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
I think I might have an answer, I have also noticed that some ringtones will show up while others don't and end up in your music collection instead of your custom ringtones. From what I've seen WMAs work better than MP3s for some reasons as far as ringtones. I also seems to depend on how they were converted or if they are encrypted. Try to deploy a few of these see if they work.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avazee:
Thanks for the reply- sorry for the delay, but I finally got a chance to play around with this.

When I create WMA files instead of MP3 files, it works perfectly. Whoever is having issues as well, try creating WMAs, i'm sure you'll get the same positive results.
