Some phones likely will. AT&T branded phones won't - they never do. But Samsung will probably have a beta for other phones some time after it goes into Public Beta. When will that happen? No one knows yet. It's still only in Developer Preview, which is only for Pixel phones right now.

Your carrier usually controls hotspot functions on the phone. Does your data plan allow it? Has your plan recently changed?

@Greggums , I'm not sure I understand what it is you are doing. Media devices like your phone don't need to be "safely ejected". That's for USB connected hard drives with write-cache turned on. In fact, that standard hardly applies anymore with today's hardware. Just plug your phone into your computer when you need to, and just unplug it when you are done. I've been doing that for years and never had a problem.

Call your carrier. They are the ones that control the rings since the voicemail service is on their end. Some carriers allow you to change it online after logging into your account. But not all of them do that.

Sounds like a faulty device - take it back where you got it immediately while it's under warranty. No, there is no "fault with these phones" generally - as that would be a serious problem if everyone had this issue (I have the same phone and don't have that issue). But, there obviously is a fault with your phone. I don't know how long you had it like that, or if you can return it right now, but I'd do so as soon as you can and get a replacement.

A "hard boot" is just turning the phone power off and turning it back on. That won't do anything to the existing setup or data on the phone. If you mean "factory reset", then yes, that resets the phone to a fresh "out of the box" condition. If you think someone actually messed or changed the SIM, then go to your carrier and have them look at it - make sure it's the same SIM they originally gave you to put in the phone. Better yet, ask for a new one, with a new number even. I mean, if you think they really did do something. But honestly, unless you are a government or corporate employee, and these wrong people are into government or corporate espionage or in a drug cartel, I seriously doubt they have any way to mess with the SIM card that won't immediately flag the carrier that it's been tampered with.

That's okay. I never cared for either. That's why I installed Nova Launcher - so I don't have to worry about swiping too many times to something I have no use for.

@SamsungColeis correct - this is a carrier thing. The carrier will push the software to your device if the service is available to you.

According to Samsung's own published schedule (Google it), the A71 is supposed to get it around May 2021. Now, they don't specifically call out the 5G variant, so it could be for the older Jan 2020 device. The 5G version is technically a newer device with the Exynos SOC or different Qualcomm (depending on carrier and location), and wasn't on that initial list. But neither was the S20 FE 5G. The FE, however, was just recently announced to be getting One UI 3 before the end of the year. It's possible that the A71 5G will get it before the regular A71 does. But, I'd just be speculating.

An expanded battery is a bad sign. Get it replaced (battery or phone itself - your choice) as soon as you can.

Some carriers won't allow over-the-air OS updates over mobile data. you have to have Wi-Fi in that case. Assuming the OP means OS updates.

What carrier do you have? Is your phone factory unlocked, or carrier locked?

Correct about swiping up to close apps - standard android practice (although because the default is card-stacked, you swipe away to either side to close). About the auto-hidden nav bar, you knew that was an option you can set to either stay on, or auto-hide, right?
