Dropped Call = Secure Lock?

Want my BB back

Guest
ATT Rugby Pro 4.1.2. Every instance of a dropped call results in a full secure lock on my phone. I'm required to use an alphanumeric password secure lock per company policy; which is set to the maximum time limit of 1 hour. Needless to say, when you need to make a return client call quickly (after it's dropped by the carrier), it may eat up 10-15 minutes just to find a safe place to pull over and type.

So if secure locked via password is enabled, do all android phones automatically lock down when a call is dropped? Or is this just a lucky feature on this device/OS?

Using nothing special on phone at all - no BT; no voice commands (any time I use voice commands to make a call, the phone goes into a secure lock whether the call ends normally or not, so I've disable that "feature" too).
