How to approach it
Each sensor has its own power and bus (I2C or SPI) with an interrupt. The proximity sensor is on the top flex; the compass, accelerometer and gyroscope are on the board (on some models, the compass is on a flex). A sensor that doesn't respond can also cause restarts every few minutes.
