When Android 2.2 is rolled out, the problem will be solved.
However
I am running Android 2.1 update 1 on my X, and it does voice dialing when the phone is locked...
hrm.. thats weird... my is on build 604 (the latest) and won't work when its locked... with my T505 anyway..
maybe it works with only some devices?
I have the same problem. I just noticed it tonight upon my first use of my Bluetooth headset. I can't dial when the phone is locked. This is a real bummer. I hope Android 2.2 fixes this issue else I have a real problem with the phone.
Oh. come on, guys.
Having to unlock the phone to voice-dial is no worse than adjusting the channel and/or volume on your car radio.
I have literally been in a vehicle with the driver eating a sandwich, yet complaining about not being able to voice-dial on his phone. Hopefully, I won't have to ride with that person again. THAT'S special!
Not buying it, try again.
(EDIT) Sitting here just now, I just successfully made several calls to an automated number using the bluetooth voice-dialing feature WITH THE PHONE LOCKED. Version 2.1 update 1. You are doing something wrong. I can post a vido clip later, if you don't believe me.)
