Phone Locking while on Calls - iOS6

Same here, anyone know how to disable this please??

I have noticed this as well. This is very annoying. I cannot put the call on hold or even hang up without swiping and entering my PIN unlock.

My company forces a 1-minute timeout before locking through our mobile device policy so my phone is becoming close to unusable. I was leaving a voicemail yesterday and I couldn't even hang up without having to unlock my phone.

I'm guessing we're going to have to hope and wait for Apple to release an update.

I have also noted this today when on a hands-free conference call. I mute myself to save others from having to listen to my ramblings and found myself having to constantly unlock the phone just so I could comment on whatever was relevant.

How did this one get past the developers, alpha & beta testers!

Just adding my reply in so we're able to garner some backing for this problem. This is highly annoying and needs to be addressed or at least let everyone know if there's already a fix in place we're just not aware of yet.

Another discussions I've seen in addtion to mine - obviously a wider issue. I don't understand why this functionality has changed, if its not broken don't fix it!

Hugely annoying and hope there is a fix coming soon!

Thrilled to hear I'm not going nuts. I've gotten used to this feature too and first thought there was a corruption in setting or some such.

I agree it's a takeaway that I would LOVE to have restored.

Glad it is not me either, on hands free in the car with the phone in the cradle it used to never lock. It still stays unlocked with Music, and my Audible App... But locks on calls.

Very annoying. I hope we can get an answer on this from an Apple representative. I presume it is not a new "feature" and more annoying that I cant downgrade now.....

Can't contribute much more to this but thought I'd add my voice as this is a very irritating "feature" or "bug" as I'd call it. Can't believe this has been added deliberately - it's ridiculous that when you're driving, that you have to enter your passcode to hang up your phone ! Also, when you end the call it doesn't return to the music app - it drops back to the home screen.

It would be nice to have somebody from apple reply to this post, if only to let us know they are aware of it !

I too have noticed this - I was looking to see if anyone had worked how to undo it... but obviously not. Like everyone else, I am replying to the thread to get Apple to pay attention. That and being able to easily mute whilst on the phone are the two biggest user experience misses for my iPhone.

Apple - please respond to your [currently] loyal customers.

Registering my disappointment as well. Why would anyone in their right mind program the phone to lock during a phone call so you can't hang up? Maybe an Android lover??

I've been watching this post as I have the same problem. Does an Apple rep usually address these concerns on this board?

having the same issue. Hope apple resolves it soon

No, Apple reps never address concerns on this forum. This is user-to-user only. The only Apple employees are the Hosts who are here to keep order and keep the place tidy.

I'd recommend you call Apple Technical Support and open a case. Or, go to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

I have the same problem. Very annoying.

So very not cool. Apple where are you guys? Is there a fix coming down the pike? Can we get a heads up at least? Maybe a half hearted response? Anything? Bueller... Bueller....
