Hello again,

I was wondering if theres any sort of setting or app i can use that would allow me to answer a phone call without putting in my pattern. It gets in the way during those "photo finish" call answerings where you push the button right before it goes to voice mail.

Thanks!

I only have to do the quick swipe to answer a call. It doesn't make me put in the unlock pattern for voice or text calls. I don't think I did any special settings. I think it was the default after I put in the unlock pattern.

I'm having the same problem with my Droid and it wasn't always the case. I can't answer the phone without entering the pattern. Also, when I want to end a call the screen won't come back on unless I hit the power button and then enter the pattern. This just started happening but I can't trace it to a particular app I installed.

Anyone else experiencing this? Sure does make me wish the Droid would have a call answer/end buttons.
