I would agree with mterry, we should have two different modes for the dialer when the device is locked. I can imagine that it would be then easier to make changes/fixes according to the specific use case. As for the initial bug, it looks like it was fixed. I tested it on vivid r207. The fact that indicators are not shown during the active call, if it was accepted while device is locked, seems to me a separate issue.

There is no way to unlock the phone to access other functions until after the call is done. It seems like a common use case to be able to do other things on the phone during a call, looking up someone's number or checking a map or whatever, but this currently is only possible during outgoing calls. During an incoming call I can't even access the indicators to change brightness or check today's date or even see what time it is, so it actually ends up being more "locked" than the lock screen. Could we add the ability to unlock the phone during a call received while locked?
