Galaxy S4 blocks screen after every phone call.

Does any one know why does the S4 blocks the phone after every missed phone call?
Got the phone to get locked with patern after 5 or 10 minutes of inactivity but it will lock after every call I make when I hang up!
It's anoying to unlock the phone every time you make a phone call.
How can I disable this?

Welcome to Android Central! Have you set the Power button to act as the call disconnect button? If so, then maybe you also have the "Power button automatically locks" setting turned on as well (in Settings>Security​). So every time you hang up by pressing Power, it also locks the phone.

Thanks for your reply B. Diddy!
It will do the same thing with or without thay option chequed.
It locks every time you have a missed call. It will go back to the lock screen.
If you dissable the paterns, pins or whatever unlock method you choose and have a missed call it will also go the the lock screen where you have to swipe to unlock.
On a normal phone I would expect to go back to phone funtion where you can deside what to do.
I guess this can`t be changed.

Re: Galaxy S4 blocks screen after every phone call.

This might help. I installed 'holo lockscreen and holo notifications' on my phone. When I got this phone the notifications on the lockscreen were driving me crazy.
Quick access isn't a problem for me (I use folders on home page).
The lockscreen shows my Gmail, sms and calls missed. Doesn't show vm.
