Are we positive there are not major risks of corruption like with the last patch? That traumatized me lol and I’m not exactly eager to tempt fate again
It has not been reported nor seen in testing so as far as we can be aware, it looks smooth.
Impossible to promise it absolutely cant happen, but the risk should be basically zero this upgrade cycle.
We know the zirconia A11 upgrade was not smooth, so I understand you being cautious.
Likely, yeah, but it should not affect it seating properly.
Let us know if it behaves, if not, a warranty replacement or repair might be needed.

…uh, I did report that mine wouldn’t boot after upgrading to 14 until I did a factory reset? Do you mean something stronger by “corruption”?

(To be fair, it was the second time that month that I’d abruptly had to factory-reset the phone (which suggests my phone might be unusually fragile): I got some kind of hard-drive corruption error a couple weeks previously. Hasn’t happened since, knock on wood.)

Are you using a microSD Card as Shared Internal Storage on that device that is giving you issues?
Yes.
(Modern Android versions don’t actually let you do very much with a microSD card without turning adoptable storage on, in my experience. Can’t sync your files automatically because the file-sync app and the files are on different sides of a security barrier, can’t read your books because the e-reader and the books are on different sides, etc.)
P.S. I hope I don’t come off as rude with the above. Mostly I’m just confused about the implication that formatted-as-external microSDs would be the default assumption even on modern Android. Maybe I’m missing something about how to make external microSDs practically useful.
