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. In such case, the phone should stay locked after the prompt and only toggle the functionality

This is a good point. I used to use it all the time without unlocking my phone. Now it's just annoying.

Could it be a security measure, to stop others from enabling it on your locked device, since enabled bluetooth might be a weakness security-wise?

All I was saying it should keep your phone locked after the BT was toggled

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.
