Can't activate Razr with Bluetooth Headset while in Standby

[richardty]

I can't activate my Razr with my Bluetooth headset if it is in the standby mode.  To dial a number, I have to remove the phone from the case, push the power button and swipe the screen to wake it up. Only then I can push the button on my Bluetooth headset and dial the number.  I had a Sprint Evo previously, and I could use the Bluetooth headset when the phone was in standby mode. This problem is dangerous when driving and pretty much negates the advantage of hands free operation.Blue Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The problem is because the device is locked not because its sleep, there is a option to be able to Settings / Security / Allow Bluetooth while locked...  Make sure this is checked...

There is a setting that allows BT to function with the screen lock or sleep. It is off by default

Thanks for your help.  In the settings menu I went to "Location & Security", "Security", "Allow Bluetooth Bypass".

Did that seem to help any with your issue?
