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.
There was one time I controlled the snooze button from the side panel. But that just happened once. It's kinda tedious to open the flip case just to snooze you're phone.
Hope someone can help me
If i rotate the bezel i switch over to weather updates or news or other apps...
I wanted to replace this functionality and control the brightness level by simply rotating the bezel.
I use the "I am Awake" app to always keep my watvh face on.... only thing i want now is a some app which makes the bezel rotation control the brightness. I dont want to go to brightness setting and then use bezel rotation to lower or raise brightness... its too long process and cant do it everytime..
Any such app exists ?
The closest ive come to doing this is by setting double tap of home button to "open last app" option...
So i go to brightness option.. then press home button... then whenever i wanna change brightness... i simply double tap home button and the brightness menu opens and i can rotate bezel to increase or decrease brightness......
But i want to remove this requirement of double tapping home button also...... simply rotate the bezel and brightness goes up or down....
Fyi... auto low brightness option is not so good.... its not so responsive.... it is slow.... sometimes it does not reduce the brightness only...
So thats why i was looking for the manual quick option to inc or dec brightness by just rotating bezel
I know and completely get what you're talking about, it would be nice to be able to modify the bezel actions.
The problem is that the bezel action is programmed into the OS, and Samsung / Tizen doesn't allow a program to override the base actions when you are out of the specific program.
I looked into this before, but with music instead of brightness. Long story short, my car stereo had an AUX input, and instead of looking at my phone to change songs, I usually just take my Gear S2 and put it on the steering wheel.
Now to change songs, I can use the bezel rotation. But, I would have to have the home double press go to the Music Player. If the screen was off for. More than 10 seconds, the bezel would go back to the normal actions.
I looked into it more, and it just seems that you really can't override the default behavior....long story short.

The system alarm app that comes with Android will open a screen to snooze or swipe to stop the alarm. There is an option to use a physical side button to stop it. But this opens the homescreen, and if I stop it in my pocket, all sorts of evil things will happen. (Locking the screen isn't practical for me.)
So: are there apps that don't activate the screen when they sound the alarm or when they're stopped?
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.
