I keep my cadence sensor on my shoe for multi bike (a bit harder on batteries, but no problems otherwise).

I was setting wheel size for my speed sensor, but I now use AUTO. Have not seen any crazy MPH readouts since (it once said I went 74 mph). Will see if it ever happens again.
I would strongly doubt that having the ELEMNT paired with a smartphone has anything to do with speed sensor vs GPS selection. Lots of bike computers auto select between the internal GPS and the speed sensor. That’s been happening for years.
