Phone ringing, can't unlock issues in iOS7

[GreatOldOne]

Hi All,

I've noticed that when someone calls me, and the phone is locked, it seems to be very hit and miss as to wether I can unlock it - as the slider control does not seem to register the swipe across the screen.

it's an iPhone 5, running iOS7.0.2 - Never had an issue like this on iOS6.

Sometimes it unlocks after a few attempts, sometimes it does it straight away - but a lot of the time I miss the call because I can't answer it as I'm frantically swipping the screen trying to get it to register!

This unresponsiveness only occurs when there is a call comming in. Without one, it's fine and a swipe is picked up immediately.

Anyone else encountered this? Is it a widespread issue, or just me?

Ta,

GOO

I have noticed the same problem on my iphone 5 running 7

Sometimes it helps to start the swipe in the middle of the green answer bar

Can't say if iOS7 is more or less prone to this, but I have had this issue very occasionally on every iOS version. Not so far on iOS7, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened.

Sometimes a DFU restore can fix the odd issue.

This used to happen a lot with my 4S on iOS 6 though.
