1. A method comprising:
- connecting, by a mobile device, a voice call for a user of the mobile device, wherein connecting the voice call causes one or more radio frequency transmitters of the mobile device to transmit radio waves at a first power level;
obtaining motion data describing movement of the mobile device;
determining whether the mobile device is on the user'"'"'s body or on an inanimate object based on the motion data;
adjusting the transmit power level from the first power level to a second power level based on the determination.

Abstract
In some implementations, a mobile device can analyze motion sensor data during a voice call to determine whether the mobile device is on a stationary object or worn on a user'"'"'s body (e.g., in the lap or pocket of a user of the mobile device). The mobile device can adjust the transmit power level of the telephony transceiver during the voice call based on the determination
