Hervey Bay diagnostic detail: Sand, moisture, thick cases, screen protectors and magnetic vehicle mounts can interfere with proximity, light or compass behaviour. Test without the accessory and record which app or action triggers the fault before assuming an internal sensor needs replacement.
Why symptoms overlap
A symptom is useful evidence—not the final diagnosis
Possible causes include protectors, cases, dirt, magnetic mounts, settings, calibration, flex damage and board connections.
| Question to answer | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does it fail only in the car, bag, workplace or one app? | Environment and accessories can imitate internal failure. |
| Did impact, moisture, charging or an update come first? | The sequence narrows likely components and risk. |
| Which related function still works? | Comparison can isolate one path from wider damage. |
| Is continued use or data access the priority? | The best-value route depends on the intended outcome. |
