Hello.
I have been going back and forth, trying to solve one annoying problem I have with my Flip.
When I end a call by closing the flip, there is a "call back" button n the cover screen. More often than not, I end up clicking this button and calling the person I just ended the call with back. This is extremely annoying.
Is there a way to either remove this button, or at least make the cover screen default to off when closing the flip?
One advice I got wa to chnge the default phone app to Google phone. This works - teh button is not there with this app, but it lacks some important dual-SIM functions for me, which makes to stick to the original SAmsung phone app.
Thanks for any help you might have.

@Members_9A3AIZP: I have looked into this for you, and the option to return a call on the Cover screen is only available via the notifications panel when swiping to the right. When ending a call by folding the screen, I recommend pressing the Side button to power off the cover screen, to avoid any unwanted interactions. You can also head to Settings > Cover screen > Cover screen timeout, and reduce the amount of time it takes for the Cover screen to go idle. Furthermore, select 'Notifications' and explore your options from here.

Thank you for you reply. However, this is not exactly the solution I have been hoping for. Having to switch off the outer screen manually when ending the call is possible, but really cumbersome.
Notifications have nothing to do with this issue, as this is not a notification. It is a clear design flaw of the default Samsung phone app. As I wrote, when I switch to Google phone app, this annoying button doesnt show any more.
I dont quite understand what you mean when you say, that the option to return call is available via notification. When I end the call by closing the flip, the cover screen lights up, and there is a large green button "call back" (or repeat call, dunno, as I dont use my phone in english) in the lower right corner of the screen. Nothing to do with notification at all.

This is a real annoyance. Why can't we just disable touch on cover screen?
