I've never ever seen the option to answer or decline when my phone is locked. I get the slide to answer when it is locked.

I've seen "Blocked" come up on the lock screen a couple of times, but normally just "slide to answer"

It has to do with your phone being locked or unlocked. That's all.

Double tap the power button to send to vm. A single tap silences it and let's in continue to go through.
