How to set Here maps as default

I have discovered if I open an app, like gas buddy, and request directions to a location Here maps will open. However when on a website, even one that is showing a location on Bing maps, google.com/maps opens. Bing maps will start to open for a split second then google maps takes over. I can't figure out how to stop it from doing that. I am using Edge and Bing as my browser and search engine.

On my old phone, a wonderful windows phone, worked just like my pc. When I look up location on the web the default map program opens. My 4+ year old windows phone did so much more than this brand new Note 10+ does. It took better pictures too.

Which type of tablet?

Well for that the only one of your specifications that matters is that I'd not buy one with a very old android version, just to be sure that you won't have an app incompatibility problem in the near future. Otherwise almost any tablet will handle that usage: there's no great demand on the cpu, streaming doesn't require a lot storage, most will have perfectly adequate screen resolution (unless you have young eyes and hold it close to your face), and if you are in bed I doubt it even needs to be very bright. You don't say what your sound preferences are (speakers, wired headphones or wireless), but it's only the first of those will vary much (an audiophile may differ, but these don't sound like audiophile uses).

I guess what I'm saying is that you don't require top-end specs for that purpose, or even anything close. I'd avoid devices with only 16GB storage unless you really are going to use it for nothing other than streaming video, because that's been below minimum spec for a while now. But otherwise I'd buy whatever you like and feel comfortable with (in every sense, i.e. feels OK to hold the way you will use it, quality feels good enough and price doesn't feel uncomfortably high). I do always recommend seeing the device yourself if you can, rather than relying on spec sheets or reviews.

Wear OS watches

Good day, everyone!

I'm new to Wear OS development and I'm writing app that generally sends messages from phone to smartwatches and back. I'd love to test it on real device, but I can't find information which is better.

Could you please suggest me some smartwatches for testing my app, that cost less that 160$?

Thanks a lot!

This sounds like a screw-up at their end, cut and dry.

I'd call them and immediately ask for a supervisor. Once you've gotten the rep's attention, they'll offer to look into the issue; let them, but if they don't resolve it, insist on escalating this and getting a supervisor.

This is not something you, the customer, could've done, so it's up to them to straighten it out.

Google Phone App Contacts included

I am not seeing any place in the Google Phone app where I say which accounts to show contacts for. By comparison - in the Google Contacts app in the upper right corner there is an icon I can click and then I am shown my accounts (gmail, office365, etc) and I can pick some or all to include. Since I primarily use my business email account for all my email I select that in the Contacts app. When I am in the Phone app I see many of the contacts from my O365 but I see some others that I do not want plus I cannot even find what account of mine they are coming from.

I am using Google Pixel 4 and the not-Beta version of the Phone app.

I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Regards, A.

Any info/help would be appreciated

Ok here' my thought..
You mentioned twice already that before the update your phone was flawless to your standard..
So is very simple..why don't you downgrade to that particular firmware the phone was at..that's what I would do if it was my phone I would go half way across the world and find it..and gain pace of mind(loved that statement previously said!!!)..
Try to find that file..
