Both the 2 finger double tap and the sleep switch work well for me. As was already said, take the phone away from your ear, wait for the speaker to turn on, and then do the 2 finger double tap. The 2 finger double tap can take a bit of practice. Your fingers should be spread a bit apart when you do the double tap.
The sleep switch is the exact opposite, it won't hang up a call unless voiceover is on and the phone is at your ear. The hangup button used to stretch across the whole bottom of the screen. Now it's just a button in the middle of the screen. If you place your finger at the bottom of the screen in the middle and draw a line up, you should also find the button.
