Again, that's impossible, as the 168 update is only a security patch update. It's size is 124mb for a reason, it didn't even bring performance improvements.

Anyways, you can go to settings/software update/current version, and you can see that it's only for updating the security patch.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] IamNumber25:
It doesn't mean that when it's security patch is listed, it doesn't have camera improvement.

I've observed how huawei works their OTA, they don't usually list all fixes in the changelog even in my P10 at Mate 10 pro before because I monitor changes in firmware finder app before the actual release

Camera app is less 60Mb only and it only need few tweaks to improve.

130Mb is big enough for many minor tweaks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
Bro, why are you debating something that you can easily find on XDA and Huawei forums? Huawei themselves, said that the reason why many markets didn't get the 161 that is focused on bringing camera improvements, is because it has compatibility issues with phones released outside of China and the few markets that will receive it. The 168 update is only, and again, only been pushed to bring the latest security patch.

You can even sideload the latest version of the camera app, but you will see zero improvements in image processing, as the improvements were only pushed in the 161 and 162 updates.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] IamNumber25:
LOL. I'm not debating, I'm telling you what I've observed because I used the camera a lot, more than you use it. I'm a photographer and I can see the difference from the previous version. Go out and test it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
I hate to be that guy, but here is your comment on this subject under another post, admitting that this update is just about bringing the June security patch, and that's it.

And you're a photographer, not a prophet. You can be wrong about tbings.

I tested the camera before and after.

Huawei released the full changelog about this update.

Huawei themselves explained why not all markets are getting the update that improves the image processing on this phone.

The web is full of forums discussing this, and you're the 1st person to claim that a 124mb has made the camera on his phone take better pictures.

I respect that you're a photographer, but that doesn't mean your words can't be flase. All the above points prove that this updats has nothing to do with image processing.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fulltrance:
I'm quite annoyed too, I was expecting the upgrade with the 161 camera improvements, but directly to the 168, there is no way to manually install the 161?:confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Soldier:
I'm on the .161 if I update to the latest fw I'll lost the camera improvements?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
One thing you can do is download full firmware 168 and see if the new camera update exist in the firmware.

Got the update today without the improvement, will do later today a full firmware flash via erecovery to check if the new camera is included.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Soldier:
Just to end this discussion...

I'm on fw .161 and my camera fw is 9.1.3.309

My friend is on fw .168 and his camera fw is 9.1.0.306
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
No don't worry, you won't, lucky you :/

Hopefully we'll get this camera update and won't be left out.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fulltrance:
We only have to pray and wait hahaha :p
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eng3:
Isnt the camera just an app? there's no way for someone with .309 to pull it from the phone and post it?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
You can, matter of fact, I installed the 309 version, and nothing has changed. The improvements in image processing are brought through the software update, not the camera app itself.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] felipy2k:
Worth a try with apk extractor!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...7&parId=B5A14C3C6BC1EFAA!616885&action=locate

Here's the 309 camera app for those who are interested, but as I said before, the improvements are based on the 161 software update, not the app itself. So don't expect to see any difference in terms of image quality.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kibrisli.ilhan:
is there any chance to downgrade from 9.1.0.168 fo update the phone to 9.1.0.161 for camera improvements?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ketman5001:
i'm most likely to go with the s10
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
If you're going with the exynos version, I would advise you not to. I had it before the P30 Pro, and my wife still has hers, and the camera is way behind the P30 Pro, except for the video recording. If camera isn't a priority for you, then yeah, go with it, as it's better in almost every other category. Battery life matches that of the P30 after the latest updates Samsung has pushed.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ketman5001:
my unique issue is with colors reproduction. i wasnt able to judge which one has more natural renders. Reviews were so innacurate. which do you think has more true to life colors in photo ?

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
But instead of getting ghd 161 update that we have been waiting for it for weeks now, we get the useless 168 update, and now wait 2 months to get this update. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
The P30 Pro easily have more accurate colors. Gone are the days where Huawei flagships were the ones with the oversaturated colors. The P30 Pro have more accurate colors, and doesn't have that yellowish tint in low light conditions that Samsung phones are notorious phones.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I know but this update doesn't include security patch so maybe they are going to release it soon.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eng3:
If they skipped the 161, who's to say they wont skip 178 as well

And I'm still unclear if its possible to do a manual update
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] megadu:
Whats is the camera firmware version in 178?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Downloading now, i know more in a hour
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
306. But as I said before, even if you install the 309 apk, as I already did, you will see zero improvements in pictures. The improvements brought to the cameras are baked into the 161 update, not the app itself.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Bro wakeup we are talking about 178 that has all 161 improvement to the camera and more...

Maybe you didn't read the changelog.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
Bro, as I and others on this and other threads have mentioned, what is stopping Huawei from pulling the same move once they release the 178 market to the rest of the world? They've already cited the excuse that these improvements have compatibility issues with the phones that were updated directly to the 168 update, which we all know is a BS of an excuse. Plus, we are talking about waiting another 6 to 8 weeks to receive the improvements we were supposed to receive a month ago.

We have a legitimate reason to complain, and I am not sorry you're annoyed about this. We paid premium money for this device, and for this reason, we will always expect premium service.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Camera version..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fulltrance:
I'm in 168, and came out 178? I hope I get with the camera improvements ?

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phsetaknev:

If you have unlocked bootloader you can flash any firmware using https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/guide-manual-updating-firmware-t3893171

But sure use firmwares for ur phone,you can find them on firmware finder pc or phone app.

I can't find 178 in the Firmware Finder.

Is there a specific way to pull it out?

The latest I see for VOG-L29 is 176 whch is a beta and 165 which is the last update before DC Dimming.

I use the PC Version of the app and open Common tab, and then search for VOG-L29.

Anything else I should do?

EDIT: Nevermind, Just saw 177 and 178. Not sure which one is new as 177 is on top.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Currently the only way to flash .178 is with FunkyHuawei.

Other methods will come in time, but for now this is the only way.

Firmware .178 is only a week old and currently uncertified by google.

So it is not certain that it will become the next update.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I did the search in the morning and found all of them on pc FF, usually they take some time to appear on FF phone app.

176 177 178 are all new but each one for different region,so the change must be minimal depending on the services in each country,but all has the new bug fixes.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
So literally it wont matter whether I flash 177 / 178, since both should be same .. yeah?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Just got the 177 Update. It has DC Dimming.

I tried comparing the P30 pro with a P30.

The P30 is updated to .168 but it skipped .161. Can't get it to recognize .178.

I tried comparing to a p30 pro (which has .178) and nearly every photo (taken in low light) on the P30 is blurry where it is crystal clear on the p30 pro. I'm wondering if its due to the version or due to the phone itself. (ie. OIS)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] coolpowers:
As a P30 owner, I would be curious to know this as well.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eng3:
I tried the OTG method of update and it worked.

I realized that I had to copy the dload folder to the root of the USB stick.

The photos seem better color-wise, but still blurry compared to the P30pro.

If I hold extremely still, then its about the same but with the pro, I don't have to be as careful.

So I think its mainly OIS

This is my replacement Pixel XL 3. I've had so many problems with this phone. But since I've had it, when I'm on a call the phone does not always show who is beeping in. It will make the sound but no popup. Sometimes it will, bit most of the time it will not.

I also have Bluetooth issues, have to start it to get connected headphones work on a call. This will be my last Pixel phone.

What is SideSqueeze?

SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.

What It Does

SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.

Features (not all available in trial version)

7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)

3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)

Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)

New app picker to launch any app of your choosing

Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing

Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine

Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc

Adjustable pressure thresholds

Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics

Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life

Questions?

See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.

Where do I get it?

SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kalasingha:
Hello everyone my brother's Ph-1 keeps shutting down right after powering up, I have tried everything from factory resetting to trying a different charger, nothing seems to work. This happened after he didn't use the phone for almost a month, it worked perfectly before.

It powers off even when on charge or connected to the laptop.

The phone doesn't stay on for more than a minute or two which means i cannot use ADB to side load an update

The phone is running Android P and the April security update patch.

Please do help me out

Thanking you :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kalasingha:
Hello everyone
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
It could be corrupted though it sounds a bit like a battery issue, to me. If battery discharges too much eg it didn't shut down itself properly when battery was at a low level (they retain more charge than shown to user so it can shut down with proper procedure) & the battery ran down past it's reserve the battery may not be able to be recharged with a normal charger even though you charge it. (Thought a battery specialist could possibly revive it with a boost charge, though I've only seen these used with industrial batteries)

with a "dead battery bootloop" sometimes you can get it going by booting when connected to the charger, but you'll probably need a new battery. Maybe also try boot into safe or recovery mode when connected to Essential charger. (I'm assuming your phone not corrupted, though as you haven't given us much info about exactly what happens & what you are seeing)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kalasingha:
The phone shuts down even when in recovery or safe mode whilst connected to the charger.

It does sometimes fully boot up and then shutdowns, but mostly shuts down while still on the essential logo.

If I may ask what do you mean by the phone might be corrupt?

Can one month of non usage cause the battery to die out?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
by corrupt I mean some data that is part of the boot process causes bootloop so it shuts down, but as your phone is shutting down at different points in boot cycle I think it's probably battery

Leaving the phone turned off unused for longish periods should not be a problem normally even with a few % left in battery. And even if left turned on it should shut itself down when battery low & be able to boot up again after a month due to the battery "reserve" capacity (but possibly a month was too long). And if it was not recharged straight away and/or rebooted multiple times the battery "reserve" could fall too low and not have enough power to start/shutdown properly (possibly causing data corruption ... though l don't know if there is some sort of fail-safe boot procedure ) Then there is a possibility there is a hardware fault with battery/phone that meant battery lost too much power.

There were some tricks ie "boost charge" you could do with removable batteries that were in "deep sleep" as shown here for example

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TEXA7qIJ968

But they don't really work without taking your battery out (for us we might as well get a new battery when opening phone up, & there would be some risk that you damage battery as we do not know the exact charge to apply on this battery, which could cause unsafe battery) I wouldn't want to freeze my phone even though it should survive OK, as I'd be alittle concerned about long term effect on our screens small pixels (I remember the guys at popular mechanics put an old flip phone with little LCD screen in liquid nitrogen & it still worked after being warmed up!).

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Legitsu:

sounds like a bad battery to me

good news is the battery is not difficult to replace (don't listen to ifixit I am not sure what they where smoking when they did there tear down)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCKxAQXdTJ8

don't bother with silly and wrong tricks like trying to hack the battery back to life its the wrong way todo

if the battery ever gets to that point then the battery is bad enough said

Hello,

I installed Solid Explorer and I marked in settings "show root storage". It shows 97% root storage. I am wondering if that is normal and is it the same with your device?

Would appreciate if you can check how it is with you and advise me back as I don't think it is normal...
