Phone screen illumination when accelerating

[manracer]

Strange one this and I've googled and found absolutely nothing do I'm turning to PH for some ideas.

I have a Huawei p20 pro and a few months ago I got a tesla model 3.

I've noticed recently that whenever I accelerate quickly in the car that the screen on my phone illuminates. I've ruled out any apps that could be causing it by deleting anything that I could think of that could be doing it and yet it still does it and it's starting to annoy me now, partly as it's distracting at night but mostly because I just want to bloody well know what's causing it.

Any ideas?

The phone thinks it’s being picked up. It probably has a raise to wake setting you can turn off somewhere.

Bravo. Yes it does have such a setting and yes it is enabled, I shall test this on Sunday when I'm back in the UK. Thanks!

Imagine the embarrassment of having all that power but not even owing an iPhone!

Fixed that for you.

Nice to see a genuine question mocked with a 4:1 ratio.

This sums up why I like and dislike PH in equal measure.

Funny co-incidence this thread popped up, I've recently noticed my dashcam doing similar when I accelerate hard.

It's temporarily plugged into the cig lighter at the moment so at first I just assumed that maybe aux power was being cut briefly for some reason - but I've now come to the conclusion that it must be the G-sensor kicking in and recording an "incident"!

Ha, I got this on my Mate 10 Pro, recently upgraded to a Oneplus 7T and same thing. Obviously if you can't set your phone screen off while accelerating, your car isn't powerful enough.

I feel your pain.

I had my butler pick up a few bottles of 18 year old Dalmore as Christmas presents and when he accelerated too hard in the Bristol, he broke 6 bottles.

Don't worry, he won't do it again. I've had him flogged.

If you can't wait to get back you could simulate it by running very quickly across a room while holding the phone.

Don't be stupid, nobody can accelerate like a Tesla... Just drop the phone from around 6ft (approx 2 metres).
