Need sound profile app recommendation that I can also adjust balance with the presets

Right now I listen to Music all day while working. I wear LG headphones that are paired with my tablet. I only put one ear bud in. Then I have a Bluetooth headset that just goes on the other ear all day hooked to my phone.

I've tried to pair both of them to my phone but when I've been on calls, the music I was listening to in the earbuds starts playing in the hands free headset when I answer a call. Not sure if the caller could hear the music.

So, that's why I use two different devices.

But I find it annoying because i have a tablet and when I want to use my tablet, I need to pair it to the tablet. If i leave it paired then the next time I go to use the headphones with the phone, it pairs instead with the tablet.

So, I just bought some anker over ear headphones that reviews sounds like it has decent call clarity.

This will solve my problem of having music continue to play if I'm listening to music and talking in the same Bluetooth device. But the problem I have now is I can't stand hearing in stereo when talking to people over the phone or video calls. I immediately have a hard time generating coherent thoughts. My brain just doesn't like it.

So, I was hoping to find a sound profile app that I could tell it when playing music play stereo but when using the phone, only use the right ear. Does such an app like that exist? I'd be OK even with an app that had profiles so after I answer a call, I would just click the app and change it only to one ear.

Help a senior citizen

The Mrs and I are both in our late 60s
She has rheumatoid arthritis and her hands are both slightly disfigured and weak
She is currently using a Samsung Galaxy s7 and it's time for her to get a new phone
The problem is that her phone is as BIG as she wants to go so a 5.1" body is about all she wants
The technology isn't as important. She's a light tech user - gaming, texting, phoning

I believe that in todays world this would be considered a "mini" phone
We (I have an S7 too) are not worried about the latest and greatest. Give us something that works, and (for her) something that fits in her hands comfortably
Any suggestions? Currently on Verizon and wish to stay there

S21 Galaxy Watch3 Inbound Calls

I just got a new Galaxy s21 Ultra and a Watch3. When originally paired, caller ID showed on the watch, but it stopped. I reset the watch to factory defaults and paired the watch to the phone. The caller ID worked for a few days then stopped working. I reset the watch again and the caller ID worked for a few days and today it stopped working. I checked the notification settings but everything looks correct. Any suggestions?

Need help organizing, locating images

First off, my wife's passion is creating digital art and her tool of chose has been android devices. She'll fill up the devices until they"ll no longer function due to lack of space. Unfortunately most of the devices are running old versions of android so installing any new file management app is a issue.
I'm trying to get a handle on this by uploading and moving files to the sd card where possible. On a Samsung running android 6.0.1 I've found images in the following files.
MyFiles/LocalStorage/DeviceStorage/Pictures (118)
MyFiles/Images (1.7GB)
MyFiles/Downloaded Apps/Photos ( 382 MB)
I've already relocated the DCIM file (441) to the sd card. I understand these pics are from the camera. But before I move on, can someone explain these files? I'm assuming one is tied to Google Photos but if that is the case why is there data in the file if the pics have been uploaded to the cloud?
How about the pics I found in the downloaded apps file, I'm assuming they can now safely be deleted and where do they go after downloading?
Are images automatically saved in both Goggle Photos and Samsung's Gallery and if so what determines which app is used?
Thanks for any help on this problem.

High ram usage S21 Ultra 5G 512gb model

I had originally got the 256gb S21 Utlra but decided to exchange for 512gb. I noticed I am using 6-7gb or RAM on average compared to the 256gb model using only about 3-5 on average. It's all the same apps and settings. I just did the Samsung cable transfer so nothing should have changed for the most part. I also have been disabling bloatware apps like I did on my other phone. Could it be that Android is allowing for more to run in the background because it has 16gb of RAM available as opposed to the 12gb available on the 256gb model?

Help combat fake apps from fake developers

The Play store is literally flooded with apps that pretend to give you a room/indoor temperature. The authors of these apps lie in the app's description and users who are not technically minded (the vast majority) think they've got the real thing.

I mean how can an app know the temperature of your room? Do phones have a sensor for measuring the room temperature? The answer is simply NO, they do NOT.

99.99% of all smartphones do not have that kind of sensor. For the CPU, yes, not for the environment. As far as I know, the last phone that had a thermometer sensor was Samsung Galaxy Note 3 back in 2013.

These "developers" are therefore liars. If you have any sense of justice, you can't allow these fake developers to get away with it. The title of these apps is misleading and the description is deceptive. The apps obviously generate random readings, all in the range of 20 - 25°C or so. Put your phone in the freezer, you will see how fake it is.

I have reported at least twenty of these apps to Google so far, but since I'm probably the only one reporting it, they will ignore me. That's why I'm here now, asking you to download as many of these apps as possible, test them (if you don't believe me) and:

1. rate them with 1 star
2. leave a comment as to why you are rating them with only one star
3. report them to Google (the 3-dot button in the top right corner - Flag as inappropriate / Other objection / Comment)

Most of them (if not all) come from India and Pakistan. They are probably all from the same "developers", as they look very similar and have almost identical app's description.

Unfortunately, there's many more of them..
Most of the reviews seem fake as well.

Which Contacts app?

I keep my contacts in Google Contacts. My Samsung A51 has a contacts app (orange logo) that I thought was supposed to sync with Google Contacts. But I noticed that when I get a phone call and touch Add to Contacts, it is not added to Google Contacts, just the Contacts app.

Is there a way to point the Phone app at Google Contacts to remedy this? After all, Android is a Google product.
Thanks.

Problem with calling in a car

I have a unique problem which has occurred first about 6 months ago. I have OP8T and Skoda Superb (2018). I've connected them via Bluetooth (full access) and I have a smart watch connected at all times to the phone as well.

Somehow when someone calls me the ring tone in the car works fine and when I answer, I can hear the caller on the car speakers, but when I make a call myself (on the cars system and actually using the phone) it will not connect to the cars audio system, but just to the phone. I have to change the source from the phone to revert it to car audio.

This is extremely frustrating, because I keep forgetting this (it worked fine before with the same exact setup.
