Idk why I never heard of this one before but it got an update recently so it appeared in my Droid-ify feed and now I'm sharing it. Hopefully someone finds it useful.

Hmm I'm not sure if it's the expected behavior. Probably you didn't have some permissions enabled?

Could be. I do remember trying to get it to work a number of ways at the time. If you're telling me that this isn't the case for you though, I might try it out again.

I haven't tried the app much myself. I'll try it later and tell you if I have time.

Well I just tried it again, and while it won't let me take a screen shot on the lock screen, it's definitely still the case for me. It just sits there ringing with the pattern lock on the screen and a little "Return to call" button at the bottom of the screen.

Hmm I guess we found a reason why there are almost no dialer apps for Android.
