Bluetooth hands-free won't dial when screen locked
I have had an HTC One for the past few years. Several months ago, I got a Motorola Roadster 2 hands-free device to comply with new Texas hands-off-while-driving law. Everything worked perfectly. Push the button on the device; it asks whom to call; tou tell it and it connects. However, since the last system update to the phone, I can no longer use bluetooth to make outgoing calls when the phone is in my holster and the screen is locked. Now I have to take out the phone and unlock the screen before using the hands free device to voice dial a call - thus violating the law and opening myself up to a ticket. Sprint was no help whatsoever. Apparently there is no easy way to just roll back the update. Has anybody dealt with this? Or do I just eat the cost, chuck the Android phone in the Colorado River and go get an iPhone?
Thanks,
Mike R.
