Huawei is rolling out an important update for the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro, which adds a Picture-in-Picture preview frame in the viewfinder when the zoom level is set to 15x or higher. The update also adds the new Petal Search to these devices.

The picture-in-picture mode rolled out last month for the Chinese models and now started to expand for the global users. However, the Petal Search stands as a new feature and the P40 series is the first devices that receiving this new feature via a software update.

Petal Search – formerly known as Huawei Search, allows users to search for favorite apps, instant searches, daily weather, live sports, and newsfeeds. Aside from all in one result, users can also sort searches related to Videos, News, and Images categories.

VERSIONS:

Huawei P40 and P40 Pro receiving the latest camera feature and Petal Search with EMUI version 10.1.0.131 and the update size of 1.46GB size.

Anyone outside of China received 131?

most important update would be a fix for notifications .. how can they release a phone with such defective notifications? even on HMS-naked, the notifications are unreliable with apps from the Huawei App Gallery!
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zedyo:
They just need to release apps made for HMS, for now most of them (in AppGallery) still use GMS

Sorry to quote old post but just found this thread!

So C432 is going to get updates 1st, phone model does not matter? (phone model just matters depending on region update code?) My seller listed my p40 pro as EU/UK version but the code I have is C636 Asia (living in US).

Q#2 I saw posts about using a China sim to get updates? If the China sim worked, would it only matter on certain region codes C636 or phone models NX9?

Also would the above 2 be affected by checking the support/hicare app for updates or changing region in phone settings or support/hicare app?

THANKS!
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
No, Chinese area gets updates first (maybe inclidung C636). C432 is usually one of the last to get updates in my experience of Huawei (since p9), but as I said, that doesn't always mean C432 is that far behind as China often get 2 or 3 updates, which are rolled into one for the rest of the world.

The phone model is usually tied to a region, but should work anywhere. E.g. My NX9 is a C432 handset, but an Asian C636 would work just as well in the UK & mine would similarly work fine in East Asia. If you have a C636 handset, then it is not UK stock, but again, will work fine!

Never heard about using a Chinese SIM. The release of the updates is done in batches by region & IMEI, so doesn't matter what sim is in the phone (or even no sim). Think that sounds like just a coincidence.

Changing regions etc in hicare etc. similarly makes no difference in my experience (& I've tried it in the past!). If it appears to then again it's just a coincidence

Still on .121 in Romania on Vodafone network.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
Nothing to do with carrier (except a carrier branded handset... E.g. C02 is Vodafone I think), mine updated to 131 without any sim card in the phone. It's based on imei number & location.

Unusual, C636 are usually one of the early ones to get updates. Are you still on .121 or a different version?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fratzeskos:
I live in the UK and I am still in .121.

I was checking every few hours the past few days from the phone to see if I will get the update, but no luck!

So, I downloaded HiSute... connected my phone.. and surprise surprise... HiSuite says that I can update to .131 and its downloading it now!

https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/update/

I hope it will work for the rest of you that you don't see the update through the phone.

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AnthonyParryUK:
Huawei updates are so random... Tried several times today in settings and on my PC with HiSuite to see if there was an update and nothing, sat on .122 ...

Checked again 5 mins ago for OTA and nothing. Decided i should install HiSuite on my Windows tablet (HP Envy X2 Qualcomm) to avoid having to use the PC to check, hit check updates on HiSuite and kept getting a 'no internet' error on there (even though it does have internet) at the same time checked updates on the phone and BAM! Currently installing .131 :laugh::laugh::laugh: [On an unlocked UK C432]

EDIT: Installed now, Can see the PiP Zoom on the camera being VERY useful, not so fussed about the Petal stuff as i have GMS. A change I've noticed that wasn't documented is in the multitasking switcher when you flick apps away to close them, the animation has changed, i like it.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
It looks like update policy is even worse now than before google ban. Quite disappointing.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] toxotis70:
is there any way to force install newer updates ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
Basically no.

It's possible the dload method using an nm card may work, but haven't tried it myself & I doubt it will anyway.

Getting hold of the update files is also a bit hard, I've only found current or old ones online & Firmware Finder only appears to have Chinese versions on it.

Some people on this thread have said checking for an update on HiSuite has produced results, but that's not really "forcing" an update to a particular version, it's just making you get the version you should be on & won't work for brand new firmwares (e.g. It wouldn't force an update to .135 from .131 on a C432 phone as .135 is only for Chinese handsets).

Really? At least 3 updates (.114, .121 & .131 for a c432 handset) in the first 2 months since release. You think that's bad? Huawei are not the best at updates I'd agree, but on the other hand, you do get a bit of stability & not a buggy update every other week like you used to get with HTC. Be careful what you wish for! :D
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
I haven't received 131 yet and i am still on april security patch. Moreover chinese edition received couple of otas in the meantime. Nothing impressive if you ask me. I was hoping it would be better at least at the beginning.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
Well I'd be surprised if you didn't get .131 shortly (which has May android security patches) & as I said earlier in the thread, often China get one or two updates that are rolled together for the rest of the world (e.g. .125, .126 & .127 for Chinese handsets are included in .131 for us). That's the way Huawei work.

Samsung do appear quicker at updates admittedly, sometimes 2 in one month, but like HTC used to be, quite often they are just to correct bugs in the previous update. Not something I'm fond of personally.

OK ,I just got back from Huawei because i wasn't getting any update on mine ( ELS-NX9 ,10.1.0.122,C636E8R4P1) so guys who have this version they are kind of screwed if you dont have a HK simcard you will never get an update look at the answer what they gave me

Dear Customer,

''Thank you for contacting Huawei Hongkong !

Sorry ,the update needs the internet of Hong Kong local SIM card ，and please noted that Hong Kong Huawei phone is for Hong Kong and Macau district , it is not an international version.

For further inquiry, Please feel free to contact us by Huawei Customer Service Hotline at 81288810 or our Repair Service Hotline at 3695 3012.

So the conlusion here is DO NOT BUY this version since Huawei dont care about customers :(

( ELS-NX9 ,10.1.0.122,C636E8R4P1) I have this version and am in the US. I got the update 134 a few days ago. My china sim was disabled and I am always on wifi and have never used the sim card mobile data (not that it would work in the US?).
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nutzuTo:
Well than you are the lucky one ,because mine ,I've tried everything and I didn't get any update and Huawei Said is not gonna get the update :rolleyes: ,one question when you got the update you had the China sim inside the phone?and the I'd store ,you were logged in?if u had the sim in doesn't matter if it was disabled the phone read the I'd somehow and push the update, I will return mine tomorrow since I don't have it for more than a week ,such a disappointed from Huawei ,well seams like they are doomed ,seams like will go back to Samsung ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chrisminmax:
The support message you got said "the update needs the internet of Hong Kong local SIM card"

I never used the internet on the sim card. I was on my house Wifi. So the support member was clearly WRONG. But yes the china sim was in my 2nd sim slot and was disabled in my mobile settings. Logged in? I am logged into the AppGallery with an account set to the United Kingdom and my phone region is US and my support app/hicare is US.

The updates as far as I saw only started this past week. I would or was going to give it 2-4 weeks in hope of getting the update (now I am waiting for update 135 for camera scene focus XD). China sims are only $14 amazon but I am 99% certain that was not a factor.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nutzuTo:
Like I said you are lucky, I've tried all the possibilities ,less the simcard option, and yes I copy and paste what Huawei sent me on the last email, they are kind of clueless, btw I got my first update a week a go after I connect the phone first time to the wi-fi but it was the 122 ,now if is not gonna be by tomorrow I will sent it back (I spent a lot of money on it and I have a lot of problems ,took me time to put the GPlay etc and now this) to much headache.

Hello dear community, I hope someone can help me. I probably made a big mistake when I unlocked the boot loader on my moto G2. I suspect that all my apps and data are gone now? After unlocking and restarting the phone, I noticed that the startup process was not as usual. I then switched off the phone directly. Are my apps and data really gone now?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
Yes. Unlocking the device will wipe everything except external SD.

It's basically like a factory reset.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dausen50:
Thanks for your reply Wolfcity, although it is very painful. Are there any tools with which a rescue would be possible, such as Testdisk, PhotoRec, Foremost, Scalpel, ...?

The Smatphone is actually equipped with a memory card (SAMSUNG Evo Plus, 64 GB, Micro-SDXC). I would be very grateful for suggestions on data recovery.

In case it is still important that Motorola has Android 6.0 Marshmallow and the memory card is formatted as internal memory.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
As you're not rooted there are very few apps that can backup your stuff like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro

There are ways to do it with ADB commands, just google it.

As you said you restarted your device after the unlocking procedure there won't be anything to save....

About your SD card formatted as internal storage: I never did that but I would think that data stored there will be erased too.
