After updating to EA28, I found a very disturbing bug with my phone. I have an exchange account set up, and with that, my phone locks automatically and requires a 4 digit code to unlock. While my phone is locked, I can now press the Emergency Call button and go directly to the dialer. From the emergency dialer screen if I hit the back or Home button, I am taken to my now UNLOCKED phone, without having to enter my 4 digit code. This is HUGE, as this update has effectively rendered the lock mechanism of my phone useless.
I have tested this on other Android phones and they all worked like they should, going back to the lock screen and prompting for the unlock code.
Am I the only one out there this is happening to?
I am grateful that I can now make emergency calls if necessary, but the fact that my phone has a massive security hole is worse.
I don't have that issue, I just checked it now and when I attempt to go back, my phone remains locked

you are the only one, or at least one of a few, it seems. and now that you've announced this security hole, I wouldn't leave your phone alone for long.
