Phone Locking while on Calls - iOS6

I've noticed a change in user experience when on active phone calls after upgrading to iOS6.

After my default 4 minute lock period, my iPhone is locking the screen while on a phone call. Thus, if a need arises to take any action, i.e. open another application or hang up, I must swipe to unlock and enter my 4 digit key.

Is there any way to maintain the default 4 minute lock setting while preventing a lock when on a phone call? I cannot seem to find anyone with similar experiences running iOS6 anecdotally.

Thanks!

i've upgraded to ios 7.1 as well, but i still see the issue...after a few minutes on the call, the phone goes black and locks the screen...only a password will get me out of it...

i have a belkin bluetooth module in the car that used to work when it was paired with my ios 5.x device

I have ios 8 and the lockout set to 1 minute. however, when I am on earbuds or speaker, it locks still. Very annoying as I have to go on and off mute often and I have to unlock the screen almost everytime.

Wow, 3 years later and they still haven't addressed this. It would be so easy to make a setting; y/n Lock screen during call?

This is super annoying. I agree with everyone that has posted complaints about having to go through screen unlock just to mute and unmute. I find it equally annoying that I have to do the same just to hang up. I wish they would fix this.
