Model: Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (SM-T295)

Issue: 
Screen rotation is not fully working after updating software
Before, I am able to rotate my screen in every sides, but now, when I set my phone upside down, its screen is not rotating anymore

NOTE:
Its Android version before was Android 10
Now after the update, it becomes 11 which introduces some abnormal functionalities e.g. the mounting of SD CARD IS GONE!!!

I tried to reach to samsung support but its kind of like only BOT is answering questions and always throws the same replies which is very much DISAPPOINTING TO SAMSUNG

As per your concern, have you tried doing a 'soft reset'? A Soft Reset DOES NOT delete anything from your mobile phone and causes no loss of information from the device. You need to hold the power button and the volume-down button for roughly 7 seconds. Let go of the buttons once you feel the device vibrate and see the Samsung Galaxy logo on the screen. Your phone will then reboot, and hopefully, start working properly once again. Hope to have helped you.

Have you tried factory resetting your device? A clean install usually solves some problems, be careful in doing it though.

Regarding the mounting of SD card in Android 11, have you tried going to Device Care - Storage - Thee Dot Menu - Advanced- SD Card? The unmount option is there.

Thanks, I found the unmount option, but the screen rotation issue is still remaining unsolved

Well, it works on the default applications of samsung, but other apps are not anymore the same than it was on android 10

The soft reset also did not fix this

Before it upgraded to android 11, all applications regardless if default apps or not, I was able to rotate my screen upside down.

But now, its not so convenient
