Just got the 136 firmware update. Was on roaming and was trying periodically since yesterday.

Hope it fixes the inconsistent camera
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Sorry, I am not sure if roaming might make a difference.. I was at home and on WiFi + mobile data when I got the update..

But I do have the auto download on WiFi setting enabled int he update app, screenshot attached. You could try toggling that and restarting to see if that triggers it.. Can't think of anything else.

The other theory is maybe Huawei is going by IEMI numbers in a batch sequence or something..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
In terms of the .136 update, there is now a wave animation when you use the fingerprint scanner, and it does seem a tad bit faster.

I cant seem to see any immediate changes in the camera.. any one see anything different with the camera ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amrutmhatre90:
Pretty weird, I am still unable to get the update. Spoke with Huawei customer care, according to them my build is on the latest firmware.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
I doubt customer care would know about the latest update, they would most likely have a standard response. I believe Huawei has R&D offices in Bangalore and maybe other cities. If someone knows an engineer from there, they might be able to shed some light on what seems to be some weird region based update roll out schedule, else we are again going to be in the dark again with the next update.. :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
I have tried erecovery option through firmware finder also. No update till now. This is very very weird from Huawei side.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
[MENTION=3980478]MrDpak[/MENTION] :-- have you noticed any big changes after the update in camera?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
I believe the red skin tones in images seems to have reduced (but it could be subject to lighting conditions).

The other weird thing is when I now scroll through photos in the Camera app it is not as smooth as before, seems a bit jerky.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Thats it? No other upgrades or new feature? Is night vision improved?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Well nothing else seemed to have stood out to me, I didn't seem to come across any new features. Will update if I do. Night vision was pretty good before the update as is. I did not see a marked improvement over that, but there could be others who are more discerning than me. Anyone else see any new features or improvements ?

The major visible change is the fingerprint scanner is a bit faster and has a wave animation around it when used.

Then there seems to be a new bug, the Dolby Atmos tile used to be enabled. Now its not, clicking on it does nothing (whether a headset is connected or not) i.e. cant toggle it on or off now.

The first option on the settings page is grayed out, and gets enabled when I connected a Bluetooth headset which seems to be the only way to switch it off when a headset is connected. Screenshots attached.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
One more possible issue, as reported in the other thread by Gizmaldo44 - you can't use 5x zoom on aperture or portrait mode. I see the same..

I just checked and it has the dots for 1X, 2X and 3X only. Tried swiping to zoom manually as well, goes to 3x max.. screenshots attached..

Can anyone currently on the .118 version confirm that they can use 5x zoom on Aperture and Portrait modes ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amrutmhatre90:
i am on the older firmware .118 and I am able to use the 5x zoom on portrait and aperture mode.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eRajesh:
Can finally give you a concrete answer.

The Huawei P30 Pro has great battery life and its camera is impressive but it is inconsistent. This is even after the last update. I am simply not confident with the Huawei P30 Pro that every photo is usable. That's a major deal breaker for me. Back to S10+
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Thank you for confirming !

Hmm.. this update seems to be a bit of a step back for those two modes.. Might have to start experimenting with the Pro mode..

Thinking about it, the best sensor on the phone is the main one (40 MP SuperSpectrum RYYG) and there is a difference in image quality as compared to the Telephoto (8MP 5X periscope), maybe that's why they removed 5X ? :confused:

Odd to limit it like that though, they should ideally give us the option to choose to use the 5X sensor or not..

Or maybe there was some bug and hopefully they put it back in the next update..

Huawei seems to have great hardware, just need to dial in that software.. : /
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Still no update :(....... It seems i am in the last batch...... Anybody else not got the update yet?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amrutmhatre90:
I got the update this morning. Few changes, portrait and aperture mode do not have 5x zoom anymore. 3rd party notifications on always on display. Will test the low light photo and will upload pre n post images.

I was satisfied with the phone, just needed 3rd party notification on always on display.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Aargghh..... Whats wrong with Huawei.... Why cant they release the update simultaneously.... This is my first and last Huawei phone..... Pathetic service.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amrutmhatre90:
Their aren't much changes in the update that would change the overall user experience. So chill and enjoy your phone till you get the update.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Remove your sim card, reboot the phone, re-insert the aim and check for update. Usually works on other oem
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Tried it. Still Nothing. I had live chat with Customer care but they have no idea about the update. Anyways i will have to keep this device till pixel 4. Never expected such a pathetic response from huawei. They cant even release updates simultaneously for few people who bought their premium device.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Just got the phone from offline store. Immediately got the .136 update.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
[MENTION=2556801]nickporwal[/MENTION] you could try doing a device reset and starting fresh. Maybe even initially putting in the Jio sim instead of your usual one and see if you get an update.. that is if you don't mind restoring data and apps again..

Maybe try on a stable WiFi connection before you try the above.. If I recall correctly you were on roaming.. Could be that it needs a bare minimum bandwidth..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
What the hell..... Lol i am the only unlucky one it seems

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Already tried this bro..... Not sure why this is happening with me.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Well like amrutmhatre90 mentioned the updates are not that significant, although I did feel the same itch when others were getting their updates :D

Only other thing I can think of in terms of getting an answer is, while customer care wont have answers, if you raise an issue with them and ask to escalate to the technical department, they might have a much more informed answer..

If customer care tries to give you a generic response that you are on the latest version, you can mention that you can send screenshots from other users with the Indian version of the phone that have received updates, i.e. force them to escalate and ask for a call back from the technical dept...

"Huawei just won't stop updating the P30 Pro.. "

Lol the irony.. from the below link..

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Has anyone got a tempered glass or screen protector online?

Pls share the link.

Also, does it stay put with provided back cover?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Bought one from Amazon, it was a curved tempered glad one but it did not cover the curved edge fully. Could see gaps on both sides.. And it had an unnecessary black border.

There are lots on Amazon that say edge to edge but if you look around at the descriptions or pics it says only covers the flat surface of the screen..

From what I'm seeing the ones that work well with curved screens are the ones that come with liquid glue and a UV curing LED lamp..

At the moment I'm using this non tempered glass one from Gadget Shieldz.. If its fit properly without stretching it, the case is not a problem..

There is a video on the site on how to apply.. Might want to check that before purchasing..

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phsetaknev:
Ive tried the firmware update by downloading the zip file from here and I just put it in the Download folder and it automatically popped up a message that a new update is available and I installed it. Now Im on .153 with AR measure app and dual video mode working fine. I just had to restart the phone and clear the cache after the installation and everything works fine.

Anyway which is the best curved tempered glass screen protector for this phone?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Your data is still intact?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phsetaknev:
Yep it is! But just to be sure I did backup (Copy pasted all the folders. HiSuite stopped working at 60% which is frustrating) and then I did the install. Data wasn't wiped. But just to be sure take a backup anyway.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Thats strange.... Its the easiest method i have ever heard. Will you get future OTA?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phsetaknev:
Have no idea about that. Will have to wait and see.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Do you still have India specific features? like Volte, Call recorder, carrier aggregation etc.?

are you based out of India? Your location shows sydney
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phsetaknev:
Yeah I am in Sydney and bought the device here in Aus. Volte is there, and I never had the call recording option in the dialer or in the settings. Maybe its country specific

EDIT: Just tried this method here and call recording works perfectly fine.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
What is carrier aggregation? I have seen the option but dont know how it works?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Improves the overall data speed.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phsetaknev:
Any suggestions on the screen protectors? that are case friendly with the TPU case we got with the mobile out of box?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
I am using gadgetshieldz, its just OK. Wouldn't recommend. Since its a curved glass, there aren't many. However, I found this one on amazon with 4 star reviews..

Qualcomm, Intel,Xilinx, Broadcom say they'll break trade ties with Huawei.

UK carriers EE and Vodafone have dropped Huawei phones from their 5G launch plans.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro pulled from Android Q beta program.

Things are rapidly going against Huawei from all directions:

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-revoke-huawei-android-ban-blacklist/
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
I wouldn't care untill existing devices are supported. This may be my last Huawei device. But Huawei is such a big company that trump will have to take back the executive order!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
From Q beta testing being withdrawn from earlier device to no more future andriod version upgrades for current Huawei devices is no joke for me. Even if it gets after long delay in future I would find it hard to call it a support. I am positive about the 90 day lifting of the Google ban that will probably get extended again and then again and then again. One after another multiple OEMs are breaking ties with Huawei and it'll take time for Huawei to recover, possibly after paying heavy penalties and internal changes.Large scale copyright violations and resulting bans make it bitter for consumers to gallop and the impact is spot on.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Honestly speaking i am not much worried about this.

You should sell the device while you still can to someone who doesnt know about the ban.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Fair enough.

In this thread I am just making Huawei users aware about conseqequencies on buying a Huawei smartphone at present. Ultimately it's their choice.

I don't own/use this phone to start with.I gave the same suggestion in some other thread 2 days back for a humour.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
OH.! then why create unnecessary panic amongst the existing users?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Really ?

It's a public forum to share ideas and opine on. Whatever I wrote is real and people don't panic out of it, they stay alert based on reality and that's a good thing. Unnecessary panicking is born out of fake info which is definitely not the case here.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
Android upgrades are irrelevant when OEM provides themselves all the new added android features. Furthermore, Android is also moving to their own Fuchsia OS and Huawei OS is expected to beat Google on this.

The ARM ban also has no immediate impact unless ARM comes up with radical new architecture soon which is unlikely and will take 3 to 5 years from now.

And if the Android ban is going forward, Huawei direction is their own OS and tie up with app developers to provide the key apps replacing Google apps. The new OS is expected to be out for testing by last quarter of this year.

The real panic will be when China announces the counter measures against US tech.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
With this logic Gmail, playstore, youtube etc. are irrelevant. ? Do not think so.

Fuchsia is just in early testing phase and is an experiment only for now. Out of a pool of many other Google experiments like Google Glass, Google Plus, Google Cardboard ,Picasa, Google Desktop Search how many of them succeeded ? None of those above mentioned. As such, to have Fuschsia as mainstream OS in a span of 2,3,4 or 5 years out of nowhere is very unlikely. Not to forget that Android is extremely successful, is gonna stay and is not going to vanish in few years from now atleast.

ARM officially stated they're no more doing business with Huawei. The result is- no more HiSilikon Kirin chiptsets to backbone/design Huawei's SoC . ARM designs flagship SoCs once in a year for Huawei flagships, this has always been the case for 7,8 years now. Kirin 990 is already been designed but Huawei won't be able to use it for its Mate 30 or whatever they call it. Worse case - AOSP is designed for ARM-based chips. Though it also works on x86 processors that Intel, AMD and few others produce, these manufacturers have already cut ties with Huawei as part of the ongoing trade war. Huawei will definitely approach other OEMs(?) or have already approched but it's a path yet to be known/seen. It takes lot of work ,effort and time to put into place and not a spare part replacement.

Ofcourse there is no other choice for Huawei unless the ban is withdrawn soon. Even with going with a "plan B" Huawei has already been reportedly working on for months, counting from beta testing to releasing as a minstream OS on their own devices would take time. That's not an overnight job. Even if they do, I for one would not trust a standalone OS with X amount of their unknown apps with Y amount of feasibility/compatibility/security, whether we gonna like them using or not is another factor from emailing to media streaming to storing data.

Google, its services and atleast 20% of playstore apps injected trust on people for quite a long time now and without those, it's not an easy, short path for Huawei to rebuild the same trust based on their premature OS and Apps.

Let's just wish the bans get withdrawn soon, just like how US commerce did with ZTE and things get back to normal.

OTA isn't working

Any idea why OTA is not coming on P30 Pro? I am still stuck on .118 and when every time I check it says you are up to date.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
i am on .136. P30 pro indian unit.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shalin3127:
Yes. Mine is also indian unit and it says you are up to date. Not sure what's wrong. Is it related to Google ban in any way?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
No. I got it before the ban. and current devices are not impacted by the ban. they will continue to work as it is.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shalin3127:
Not sure then. Let's see then. I think I need to reach to Huawei support to check what's wrong.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Got tired of waiting for updates, its been more than a month. Last update I received was 28-April. So took the plunge and updated to .153 using the guide - https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/tutorial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793 (used the first dropbox link for the firmware)..

Unfortunately it does wipe the device.. I did backup with HiSuite before updating. Had to restore after updating..

So far seems to work fine with no issues..

Dual-view (might be a bit blurred as I was knocking on the phone to take the screenshots) and Super Portrait mode available in camera..

AR Measure works well..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
In that case, you should have installed the latest .161 or .162 version which has may patch.

Do you see any improvements?

I guess we should flood Huawei India twitter handle for this kind of discrimination
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDpak:
Well its too early to say but it does seem snappier.. especially the camera. Battery life seems to be better (discharging slower than I remember) but can only say after using it for a few days. The finger print scanner also seems to have gotten a tad bit faster.

The Orange\Red issue in pics seems to have reduced further, not fixed altogether, but seems to be headed in that direction.

Panning the camera while taking video is much much better.. not as choppy as before...

I thought the latest file that was patch-able was .153, if you have a link to .161 or .162 please do share, I will flash :D .. Was under the impression that the .16x firmware was currently China based and is not flash-able on devices from other regions. .

Even the latest one on halabtech is .153 - https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=45220

As for flooding Huawei on twitter, I am currently sympathetic as to what is happening to them.. They already probably have a lot on their plate including the future of the company. A great video as to why, is here - https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/huawei-banned-video-t3933351

Hoping this crap gets resolved with the trade talks at the G20 Summit taking place at the end of June.
