This application lets you to block touches on screen during a phone call.
This application lets you to block screen during incoming and outcoming calls completely. You will never hang up randomly or do any other unwanted actions during phone conversations.
If you need access to screen during conversation you can get it by clicking lock/unlock button. You can set any comfortable position on the screen and color for this button. You can choose between regular click, double click and long click fore block/unblock button. There is a possibility to start outcoming call in unblocked state.
You can use proximity sensor for blocking/unblocking - the screen will be blocked only when your face is near your phone, and unblocked if far.
The application also blocks the status bar (clock area).

Lol, my ear once accepted another incoming call from this girl that I was avoiding for ages... and I didn't even realise I was talking to her, thought it was my other mate.

Ouch!
If i'm not wrong, S2U2 can turn display off during a call. Great software!
I've tried two progs more: PhoneScreenLock and InesoftAddressBook.
Inesoft provide many features including display switch off during a call.
Phonescreenlock keep the display on showing info about the call, locking the screen.. but with long conversation you may frie your ear

Any updates on this one please? I have the same problem with running gazillion apps on my Polaris with my ear in call as benjb did.
Tried PhoneScreenLock - did not work well for me because its buggy (the lock screen pretty often appears somewhere BELOW the in-call buttons or start menu and needs to be switched to via closing in-call screen, which obviously renders it useless).
The InesoftAddressBook is not an option either, cause I already have other address book app and would like to stick with it (BTW my current address book has "slide-to-pick-up-call" feature, which makes me afraid that it would conflict with S2U2).
Sadly the Polaris doesn't have motion or light sensor... It would make my life sooooo easier with ZuinigeRijder's TouchLockPro...
So any ideas on what else I could use please? Thanks!
two things...
1) Are you aware that after you answer/make a call but before you put the phone up to your ear you can press the power button (not press & hold, just press & release) which will turn off the display, but not disconnect your call (or, turn off your phone)? No stray on-screen button pushing this way! With the screen off the "end call/hang up" button still functions and when you press it the screen will come back on immediately. If you need to access your address book or make a note etc during a call, press & release the power button and it will turn the screen back on and not effect your call in any way. If your phone is set up like mine and it returns to the home screen each time the screen is turned on, then simply press the green phone button and the dialer comes back to the top.
2) If #1 doesn't do it for you and you need software to accomplish this, then search this forum for MissedCallReminder (just like that - no spaces). Besides having an option to "lock screen on connect" it has a very handy feature (the main feature actually, as the name indicates) of being able to set up repeat reminders for missed calls and missed sms messages. Very handy. It can be setup to run automatically at startup so you don't have to remember to start it up manually. It also automatically unlocks the screen when you end your call.
Turned out I had bookmarked the app, so here's a link:

When I am on a phone call my ear hits the notification bar and because I am holding the phone the way that I am the screen orients for landscape. When I finish the call I have to chase the "Close" button from the left edge to the bottom (because I have now moved the phone back to portrait position), or tap the bottom of the phone to get the screen to re-orienate so I can close "Notifications" before I hit "End" to end the call. I like having the ability to tap and get notifications but I hate that when on a call I initiate it. Is there a way to make the notifications bar inactive when I am on a call? Now that I think about it...I use Co0kies Home Tabs so I actually get my notifications there. Maybe there is a way to turn of notifications all together? I realize there is probably already another thread for that and since I would prefer to have both I'll stick with my original thought.
Is there any other method besides swiping right-left on the ringing phone screen to show the hang-up button?

That's it for stock. If you don't like that you need to download a call app. I use Rocket Dial. It's nice and has a ton of options. It also has skins for all the various call, dial and contact screems. The skin I use uses a button press instead of swipes.
Sending to VoiceMail
Since I put in RocketDial, it still goes to the native Phone app when a call comes in. Now I slide and hit the red button and it answers.
I'm just trying to send a call to voice mail.
I sould have been more specific.
In Rocket Dial go to settings > Advanced Settings > Caller ID settings. At the bottom tap the Settings button. On the next screen hit Caller ID settings. On the next screen put a check in the box at the top for RocketDial Caller ID. This will enable the use of the RocketDial themes for incoming calls. Now go back 2 screens to where it has the Settings and Themes buttons at the bottom. Hit Themes. On the next screen at the top tap Incoming, Then you choose an incoming call theme. Scroll down and there is a theme with large Green and Red buttons to accept and deny calls. This theme is called Full Screen 2. Tap on this theme to select it. Now keep hitting the back button four times. After the fourth time you will get a pop up message to restart RocketDial to apply your changes. Tap the OK button. Now when you get an incoming call it will show that theme screen instead of the stock screen and you can simply hit the green or red buttons instead of swiping. You can do the same thing with Outgoing calls and Missed calls as well. There are a ton of option in Rocket Dial which is why I use it.

Recently, after booting from regular or Safe Mode, the phone does not get to the PIN lock screen. Instead there's a rectangular screen in the middle surrounded by black space. That middle screen consists of 3 sets of screens that are accessed by swiping up or down.
One screen set consists of different clocks that can be accessed by swiping right or left of each image.
Another screen consists of a Notifications status screen. There is no left-right swiping for that screen.
Another screen consists of the music player interface that plays tunes via the player controls. There is no left-right swiping for that screen.
A phone call screen pops up when someone calls and we can accept the call and talk.
However, we can't consistently get to the PIN lock screen or the regular phone interface to access apps. We've tried removing the battery and booting in Safe Mode, but none of that makes a difference. However, the lock screen occasionally appears if we keep making attempts to move the phone to different positions.
After removing the lock screen we can pull down notifications but still can't get to the Home screen by pressing the Home button. I was intermittently able to access the phone screens long enough to take some screenshots of the offending window that is blocking the Home screen.

Any ideas on how we can get the phone back to normal operation will be appreciated. Thanks.

I think the problem was due to the Pouch Mode feature, which allows some app features such as notifications to appear after pulling the phone out of a pocket or pouch.
Connectivity -> Pouch Mode was enabled. The pre-Home screen problem went away after I disabled it.
Also I have the same problem
tl;dr:
How do I disable touch input on the cover screen while a call is incoming, so I don't accidentally reject calls ?
Full:
I just recently got a Flip 3. I have a dealbreaker "feature". You can answer and reject calls from the cover screen by swiping.
When outside I keep the phone in my pocket, in folded position. When a call comes in and I try to pull the phone out I *always* accidentally reject the call.
I know I can completely disable the cover screen, but that is not what I want. I want to use the cover screen to see notifications an time.
How do I disable touch input on the cover screen while a call is incoming ?
Alternatively; how do I disable touch input on the cover screen while in my pocket ?
The main screen (and any other smartphone in the world) has a proximity sensor, so the screen is off, even when a call incoming, if the phone is in the pocket. Not so the cover screen.
When the cover screen is disabled I can still answer calls by opening the phone and reject by pressing the power button. I *really* don't need touch on the cover screen.
You do not have any option to do that. only with a custom-made cover screen to do that.
Could you nod me in the right direction for coding custom cover screens please ?
@Juuushiro is telling you to physically cover the touch screen with some kind of jerry-rigged case hahaha not software.
There's two cover launcher apps for our flip 3
One is CoverScreen OS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ini-phone-includes-native-lockscreen.4382335/ (Paid app)
and the other is SamSprung TooUI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsprung-tooui-cover-screen-home-free-zf3.4328953/ (Free)
but I'm not quite sure if they can do what you require or not.
@cproo12 I got this last week and lovin it, you can slide a cover over the screen.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to disable touch input on the cover screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 while a call is incoming. However, there is a workaround that may help.
You can try using a third-party app to disable touch input on the cover screen. One such app is "Touch Lock - Touch Blocker for Video, Kids and Kiosk", which is available for free on the Google Play Store. This app allows you to temporarily disable touch input on your device.
To use the app, you can follow these steps:
Install the "Touch Lock" app from the Google Play Store.
Open the app and grant it the necessary permissions.
When a call comes in and the cover screen lights up, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification panel.
Tap the "Touch Lock" notification to enable touch lock.
The app will now prevent touch input on the cover screen, so you can safely take the phone out of your pocket without accidentally rejecting the call.
Keep in mind that using a third-party app to disable touch input may impact the overall functionality and user experience of your device.
