Huawei: Set Up Raise Device Actions

The Raise motion on Huawei phones reacts to the angle sensor and gyroscope. When you lift the device to your ear or off a table, EMUI can trigger separate actions depending on what is currently happening on the phone.

Three behaviors are controlled independently: reducing the call ringing volume, reducing the timer and alarm volume, and waking the device or display. If only one of these seems to work, check whether the other toggles are still switched off.

To reach the settings, open Open the settings ➔ Tap on Accessibility features ➔ Tap on Motion control ➔ Tap on Raise. From there you can activate or deactivate Reduce call ringing volume, Reduce timer and alarm volume, or Wake device individually.

Reducing the call ringing volume only softens the ringtone once you pick up the phone; it does not silence it completely. The alarm and timer option behaves the same way for those sounds.

Wake device lights up the screen when you lift the phone, without unlocking it. If the display does not react, confirm this toggle is on and that the phone is not in a power-saving mode that disables motion sensors.

If none of the toggles respond, a sensor calibration issue or a case blocking the proximity sensor is usually the reason, not a setting inside this menu.
