The magnet is on the holder itself, covered by a rubber sleeve. A thin plate of metal is stuck to the phone/case. The magnet uses this plate for an attachment point. I've used this method on my phones for years without any issues, but perhaps the pine phone has it's internals in places that other phone don't or is less protected in some way. I like my pine phone and don't want to mess it up!
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with using magnetic holders on the pine phone. Or if anyone can say whether or not the pine phone would be effected by using this method.
Any ideas?Quote:I think even the LIS3MDL Hall sensor will adjust to a close magnetic field after a short time, not sure if this is in the IC's firmware or if the self test and calibrate function needs to be called by software or the driver.

Hadn't thought of that. I've been using it now for a few days and haven't noticed any issues while the phone is mounted. Personally, it would be rare for me to turn the screen in the car. As long as the magnet doesn't do permanent harm to the sensor, loss of sensor function isn't a big deal. I'll give that a try just to see if there is a noticeable loss of function.
