"Undetectable" and non-Quest Shrines

Question

I have 7 of 120 Shrines left to find. I know, from cross-referencing, that 2 of these are Shrine Quests.

Can I rely on the Sheikah Slate sensor to find the remaining 4?

Is it only the Shrine Quests that have the Shrine Pedestal that makes their location obvious?

This question is similar (not sure what a Heroic Quest is) and mentions one Shrine that possibly does not activate the sensor.

As someone who's played over a hundred hours of BotW, I don't think there's anything in the game called a "Heroic Quest." It's possible they played in a different language, where the term 'heroic quest' does exist, and is translated as something else when playing with the English language. A brief google search doesn't show anything either. Also, addressing a part of your question, I don't think we'd be able to tell you if your Sheikah Slate could detect the remaining shrines if we don't know what those shrines are. — Daemons, Commented Aug 25 at 18:13
I think you’ve a typo in one of those numbers, because last time I checked: 7 – 2 is more than 4. — Elements In Space, Commented Aug 26 at 11:21

There are at least three (and counting) Shrines that are neither detected by the Sheikah Slate nor have an associated quest in the Log.

There is at least one Shrine Quest that is started and finished in the same location and has no visible Shrine Pedestal.

The spoiler only contains a rough location. I won't give the exact locations because there are plenty of maps/guides.

Undetectable Shrines

On the border between the Gerudo Desert and the Gerudo Highlands

In the far west of the Gerudo Desert

Accessed from within Hyrule Castle

No Pedestal Shrine Quests

The eastern border of the Gerudo Highlands and Central Hyrule

If anyone has other Shrine to add, please comment with the name and I'll update my answer.
