Forster diagnostic detail: Sunscreen, sand, moisture, protectors and magnetic vehicle mounts can affect proximity, light or compass behaviour. Test away from accessories and identify the exact sensor-dependent action that fails.
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. |

Repair or replace?
When is this service worth considering?
Repair often makes sense when the fault is isolated and the phone otherwise suits your needs. Compare the quote with device age, other damage, replacement value, data importance and expected function.

Forster FAQs
Sensor Repair questions, answered directly
How does Forster context change this diagnosis?
Sunscreen, sand, moisture, protectors and magnetic vehicle mounts can affect proximity, light or compass behaviour. Test away from accessories and identify the exact sensor-dependent action that fails.
Can sunscreen affect proximity or biometric sensors?
Yes. Surface film can obstruct sensor areas; clean gently and retest before assuming internal failure.
Why does the screen stay on during calls?
A protector, case, debris, software or proximity-sensor fault may prevent correct detection.
What can cause screen stays on during calls?
Possible causes include protectors, cases, dirt, magnetic mounts, settings, calibration, flex damage and board connections; diagnosis should confirm which applies to this device.
Will sensor repair erase my data?
The work does not normally erase personal data unless software or storage access requires it. Back up whenever possible.
How much does sensor repair cost in Forster?
Price depends on the exact model, confirmed fault, design, related damage and current parts. The store should confirm a quote first.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on diagnosis, model, complexity, parts and the store queue. Ask after the device is inspected.
