    While speaking on Bluetooth toggle, I find it very annoying that in order to toggle it, you have to unlock the phone. I.e. when phone locked, you click the button, then get prompted for unlocking, then the phone is unlocked and the Bluetooth toggled.

      Seriously, I just want to disconnect my headphones to connect them to my PC. It’s easier now to just turn them off and on again, hoping my PC is quicker with pairing.

          Yeah, I just re-read your comment. I see now that mine didn’t really answer to what you actually said - sorry for that.

          I agree with you, though. Unlocking the screen is useless when the user only wanted to quickly toggle a mode of connectivity or such.
