So just to be clear, you do these steps: 1. You take the phone away from your ear when you are ready to hang up and let it switch to speakerphone 2. You then find the Speakerphone button and tap it so the call switches back to earpiece 3. You now press the power button to hang up the call?
What if you are in a noisy environment where it isn't possible to hear Voiceover when you look for the speakerphone button? Do you use a headset for those situations?
