Raise to talk: screen-off checks, resting and battery

Watch

1. Also under Advanced, Screen-off checks sets how the watch looks for a raise while its screen is off: Balanced (the standard choice) checks every 4 seconds on watches that can space checks out (like Pixel Watch); on watches that can’t, it checks all the time while the screen is dark. Either way it also checks at once when the watch feels your wrist turn. Fastest checks your wrist every second and uses the most battery, Battery saver checks only when it feels your wrist turn (a quick raise can be missed). It is set on the watch only.
2. Also under Advanced, Stop screen-off checks after: how long KeyUp’s own check keeps watching your wrist after the screen goes dark or after a raise talk. After that, only the watch’s tilt sensor looks for a raise until you look at the watch or talk again. Never, 2, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes. Watches that can’t space checks out (some Galaxy Watches) start at 5 minutes, other watches at Never. Saves battery; a quick raise may need a second try. It shows only on watches with a tilt sensor, and it is set on the watch only.
3. Also under Advanced, Raise detection picks what notices a raise: Automatic (the standard choice) uses the watch’s own tilt sensor and KeyUp’s own check together, so no raise is missed; Watch’s tilt sensor uses only the tilt sensor while the screen is off and saves battery, but a quick raise can be missed; KeyUp’s own uses only KeyUp’s motion check, if the tilt sensor misses your raises. It is set on the watch only.
4. Rest in Bedtime mode (on to start with): Raise rests while the watch’s own Bedtime mode is on, including Samsung Bedtime when its setting is readable, and outside your Hours if you set Hours in Quiet and notifications (My schedule). It only follows modes you turned on yourself. The talk screen then says Raise is resting in Bedtime mode or Raise is resting until your Hours start; tap the line to open the setting. Nothing buzzes when it rests or comes back. The crown, the button and Open mic still work. Both rest settings sit together under When Raise rests in Advanced.
5. Rest Raise after: 30 minutes, 1 hour (default), 2 hours or Never without using KeyUp. Raise rests when the watch is not interactive, including the dim always-on display, and leaves a talk already on air to finish. Ambient screen updates do not wake Raise. Keep KeyUp on screen keeps it interactive, so Raise stays awake then. Turning the screen on, opening KeyUp, pressing a crown or button, or a talk you could hear wakes Raise at once (only talks you could hear wake Raise from its rest, not talks while Quiet or a mute kept the room silent). A fresh raise is needed after rest. Your room connection, hearing talks, crown talk, the button and Open mic keep working. Phone Raise also stops its sensors after 15 minutes offline and starts fresh when the room reconnects.
6. Running: after a sustained fast step cadence, Raise ignores arm swing until the wrist stays still in the talk pose for 300 ms. While running, the ready cue is a stronger double buzz; otherwise a light tick. The normal voice check still follows. Walking and standing keep their usual rules.
7. Let the watch button start a talk (under Advanced, on by default): the watch button shortcut starts a talk. Turn it off and the button only opens KeyUp. It is set on the watch only. See Talk with a watch button.
8. Rest at set hours (Off to start with, so Raise works all day): pick 10 PM to 6 AM, 11 PM to 7 AM or Midnight to 8 AM on the watch under Advanced › When Raise rests. Raise then rests every day in those hours and the talk screen says Raise is resting until 7 AM (set hours); tap the line to open the setting. It does not wait for the watch to notice you are asleep, so use it when Bedtime mode comes on late. The crown and the button still work.
9. Walking check: while you walk, the watch asks you to hold a raise a quarter of a second longer, at the same angle, so your arm swinging does not turn the mic on. A real raise while you walk still works. It notices walking from the steady swing in the same motion readings Raise already uses, so it needs no extra permission and nothing to turn on. Standing still, Raise works exactly as before.

Watch

1. Look at the talk screen. When Raise is resting it says Raise is resting in Bedtime mode, Raise is resting until your Hours start or, for set hours, Raise is resting until 7 AM (set hours). If you see none of these, Raise is not resting for this reason.
2. Tap that line. It opens Settings › How you talk › Advanced › When Raise rests. Turn off Rest in Bedtime mode, or set Rest at set hours to Off, and Raise works all day again.
3. The crown, the button and Open mic work the whole time Raise rests.
