Is the OEM Unlock greyed out in the Developer Options?

Go to the Device-Information section where you see your build-version. Than use your finger to touch the build part 9? times?

After that you get a new option for developer settings where you can see if oem-unlock is greyed out / you can change the switch for that.

I wonder - is RAW allowed for 3rd Party apps? You can check this with "Camera2 API Probe" from the play store:

Is 3.5mm headphone port still reserve?

I hope this product can bring IR Port，NFC and 3.5mm headphone port to me.

It looks like that it is impossible to unlock bootloader now, so is VirtualXposed work perfect on this device？

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

It is never a bootloader unlock on this device. The bootloader unlock service was stopped since 2018 October in China.

Did you receive the update 9.1.0.124 with new AOD notifications. Can you please post a screenshot from the AOD with notifications?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mrteyssere:
Still on 109 firmware.

Yeah i feeks its an upgrade from the mate. Huge improvement on casual indoor pictures. Battery life is very good. Im at 8 hours screen on time now, with 29% battery left (proof here: https://youtu.be/4ZiWt-FYflY ). I guess i will hit at least 11 hours by the end of the day. Everything at auto(brightness, closing of apps etc).

OEM unlock is not greyed out.

The call quality is the same i think, but the sound from the earpiece feels higher than the mate 20.

"Camera ID 3" can capture RAW from 3rd party apps it seems like. Its the only camera that can capture 5120x3840 resolution, so i suppose thats the 40mp camera.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] picitup:
Hi thanks for testing. 5120x3840 = just under 20MP so that's a bit weird. So you can choose which camera to shoot from manually?

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mrteyssere:
I dont know why it says 5120x3840 on that camera, but thats the highest resolution for "camera 3", and the only one that have RAW enabled in this App. If i use the normal camera app, all the cameras can shoot RAW

I'm not going to buy it anyways, I was only wondering if it works on emui 9.1, since it has worked on Oreo but was blocked on emui 9. Huawei has one of the most unlikable image processings ever, especialy on P20... Great thing is also that you can't unlock bootloader, not even downgrade back to Oreo anymore, they are starting to block 3rd party Launchers by intentionally crashing them and setting the default one. They even went so far as blocking google camera and delibaretly downgrading the stock one instead of improving it. That's even better marketing strategy than the apple has...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
Major huawei butt hurt? Mate 20 Pro can have 3rd party launchers as I'm using one presently without any issues (pixel launcher w/ assistant screen) . The Mate 20 pro kills the camera (except for maybe a few night shots) the pixels 3 xl GCAM. The P30 pro's new sensor should take care of the few night situations that Pixel 3 XL GCAM was better. The bootloader nonsense is tragic but is only something 1% of android phone users care about... Image processing speaking... S10s blows... looks like someone took the healing brush to the whole picture... This is speaking from experience with all these phones and even the Nokia 9... :D If the P30 Pro, which I should get today hopefully :fingers-crossed: as long as DHL delivers it, is anywhere as good as the Mate 20 Pro if not better then it, then it is the hands down most versatile camera on a phone to date.... not saying the phone itself is anything special. it could have a better screen, faster processor, more RAM etc, etc. It will remain to be seen if it stays on the throne for a while (until the Mate 30 Pro or Pixel 4 XL).

I'm just hoping my 256 GB / 8GB VOG-L29 gets here today... drop in my 256GB nano memory... and off to the races...... :highfive:

Can you tell if the P30 Pro soften/beautify our faces too (on front and rear cameras)? Cause I've seen complaints about P20 Pro saying it soften faces. It's what held me back from buying it last year and bought Pixel 2 XL instead.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] panjaksli:
I was talking about P20... Can't say anything bad about mate 20, but if you had ever over-sharpened photos on mate 20, imagine that picture, but with +100 clarity and +100 sharpening with radius of 10 pixels and you will get p20's photo. That's the problem, it was always doing it and they have never fixed it. Even tho many people were complaining. They blocked gcam, because it fixed the problem which they coulnt fix, locked downgrading to Oreo, which the port was working on. And basicaly said that way, that if you want something better, just buy a new phone. And that's called planned obsolesscense.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:

I believe the normal camera has it off by default and you only have HDR on if the AI chooses or if you choose HDR mode. There's not a toggle for it in camera settings which leads me to believe it is not a defaulted always on setting. I wouldn't know how to begin to test it since it maybe very hard to distinguish HDR ON from HDR OFF photos. I know that's as clear as mud... :p

Question:

Is the white balance bad when taking ordingary day time photos indoors?

I have a Mate 20 Pro that I compare with. And if I run P30 Pro in normal mode everything is fine but if I take photos in pro mode the white balance is really bad.

For example. At work the floor is grey but if I take a photo with my P30 Pro at day time the floor has a strong green component in it that does not exist in reallity.

Do you see the same problem?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
I sure there's going to be a few "tweaks" that Huawei will have to do through updates... this maybe one of them. If my memory serves me correctly, I think for the Mate 20 there was at least 2 - 3 minor updates that made the camera better... I expect the same for the P30 Pro. Huawei in general goes green a little normally so this is not a huge surprise.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tusenkonstnar:
Maybee not but I have been using P20 PRO and still have a Mate 20 Pro and the amount of green that P30 pro gives is far worse than anything I have seen (in pro mode, in the automatic mode the problem does not exist, however I usually prefer pro mode to get rid of some of the oversharpening that can be seen when viewing the pictures in full size)
