Again though it worked before the firmware update
It also works over blue tooth if you disable the lock screen. It just doesn't work over blue tooth with a lock screen.
With regards to security, someone would have to have access to a blue tooth headset you had already paired with your phone. Not likely is it
Seeing as initiating a call over bluetooth is just another way to launch S-Voice, I am thinking that the same thing happens if you were to try to launch S-Voice without Bluetooth. Meaning that if there is security setup for the lockscreen, S-Voice will not launch from the lockscreen. I will try this over Bluetooth later.
It will and does work on a lockscreen with no security (swipe to unlock).
I agree that if they made it so that it would work over Bluetooth, but not from the phone itself, it wouldn't be much of a risk.
Before the firmware update, were you able to initiate S-Voice BOTH over Bluetooth and direct from the phone (double-tapping home button) when on a secured lockscreen?
If so, it seems to me that in the update, they may have tried to patch the security in S-Voice launching while on a secured lockscreen (non-bluetooth). But since all bluetooth does is launch the S-Voice app, its got to do the same thing both ways.
