Just got the S20 and prior to this had iPhone. My wife suffers from menieres disease triggered by pressure changes to which we used a barometer app. I've tried a number of barometer apps and they are all reading 20 millibars less than current atmospheric pressure. Is there any way of calibrating the sensor?

Pressure can vary all over the place. If you can get to a weather bureau station, you should be able to calibrate to what they measure. (Running a 32 inch column of mercury would also do it, but that's expensive and a mess. A water barometer would have to be about 40 feet tall.)
