...The hall effect sensors simply detect magnetic fields. you'd be surprised what you can do with a modern cell phone. The compasses are even sensitive enough to use to detect current through DC wires when you hold it close to the wire and switch things on and off you'll see the compass jump if the wire is carrying any significant current. ....

Hall affect will measure any magnetic field, whether it is from a electro-magnet or a permanent magnet. Both my iphone and my android detected a small magnet.
Thanks for that info.
