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.

Not rude, but Google and other OEMs have been pushing for the deprecation of shared microSD storage for a number of major versions now, due to issues with stability that they’ve cited.
I was asking in case it might be relevant to your device’s behavior.
New update is available, check OTA or main thread to download manually!

Issue with NFC payment not working with Google Wallet: after the update It worked fine until yesterday, but then I’ve been shown the ‘device not complying the security requirements’ message due to rooting or something everytime I tried to use It, and it’s not working when I try paying with the phone.
Okay I faced my fear and did the update (and ironically same night the next patch was released). No major issues, corruption, or loss of icon arrangement. Here is what I have to report:
- Overall seems slower and restarts on it’s own. My phone has been slowing down a lot lately anyway (esp when plugged in, my phone crashes often). Not so much that I can’t do anything, but it is noticeable. Oh also it seems the phone gets much warmer while charging now…little worrisome.
- RCS messages no longer work. I have them turned on and all correct settings enabled, I’m on wifi even data etc. I’m back to regular SMS. Not a huge deal except that I can no longer participate in group chats
- Lost my home page wallpaper. No big deal but not ideal.
- I think this is more an Android thing and is just a personal annoyance, but the nav bar at the bottom (w/ back triangle, home circle, and square to see tabs) used to have two organization options in display settings, and it seems that now there is only one. I prefer the other so keep accidentally backing out of things when I mean to cycle tabs
- It seems that FINALLY we have fixed the notification blink light issue. Thanks for this one. I do kind of feel like the camera is even worse now, but maybe that’s just me.
EDIT: Guess I have to take this back. The cursed light is back with no notifications and even with all apps closed.

No, unfortunately not. Can you please remind me of what MVNO you are using?
