v153 impressions after two days - Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi folks,
I've installed v153 two days ago on my P30 Pro 256GB (VOG-L29C431) using the FunkyHuawei HiSuite method.
My impressions of the v153 after 48hrs are:
Way better battery life, I got around +30% more SOT in compare to the previous version (124)
Camera has been improved, and i'm not talking about the new 'Dual View' or the 'Super Portrait' modes that were introduced on this version, I'm talking about the fine-detail of both the RAW and JPEG compressed images alike! With the previous 124 version my output JPEG's taken with the 40MP camera weighted around ~5-9MB, now with the 153 version, the averge JPEG size is around 8-10MB (RAW remained on ~80MB) which indicates more details are captured. I also used Adobe Lightroom on the RAW output and using the auto-tuning there, I was able to tweak the RAW images into a whole new level.
FP sensor seems a bit quicker, not that I had any problems with the previous version.
I remember I had a bug with Youtube and Facebook videos, when sometimes the video controls got stuck on the overlay and refused to disappear no matter what I did, the only solution was to FC the app and re-open it again. So far so good - didn't happened anymore.
Please share your impressions of the 153 version here.
That's it for now.

Any camera improvements like being able to save settings, selecting which mode to start up in, burst mode with raw files, setting a minimum shutterspeed?

What about white balance? did they fix the ryyb weird color tone?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p30-pro/help/white-balance-issue-1xryyb-5x-lens-t3926764

hope get this update soon

exciting news!! i have same model (VOG-L29C431), i hope to get this update via ota before 2020

Can you record some people with 1080 an 4K. Then make playback and see how is the color? Is natural or it is red tint?

Is auto brightness issue after restart is resolved in 153 release?

It won't get resolved as it's intentional on Huawei's part, so no resolution is necessary

On v153, the camera version is 9.1.0.306.
There's a whole thread in a chinese forum (club.huawei.com) about the new version and people seems to like it alot!
https://club.huawei.com/thread-20142974-1-1.html (use google translate addon)
I'll try to extract the 9.1.0.306 version from my phone and share it here.
P.S
Some of the photos from the linked thread were taken using Mate10/Mate20 phones and not necessarily using P30 Pro, but this fact is meaningless as the camera software is shared among most of the models.

My question is, did someone have RED TINT on photocand video and did they fix it afyer 153 update!???
Thx to all

Interested if by doing update this way normal OTA updates will still work or not anymore.

Sure, we will post our impressions, if we actually had the update. But no, for NO LOGICAL REASON WHATSOEVER, Huawei is forcing people to stay behind. Great way to promote your product! /s

Good morning
I have been told that we can get the.153 version on C431 with a VOG-L29? Any ideas?
I run a normal P30 Pro VOG-L29, 9.1.0.140(C431E4R2P2)
I do not find any available links for that rom version
Any possibility to update without wiping off all my precious Data?
Thinks for your help

But basically extract and move the update.zip to root directory of SDcard and run the update tool from the phone and it should find an update
Those who have installed help keep this page updated with the differences noticed
Whats been noticed:
> Lockscreen Image Bug Fixed (Needs reboot when image set)
> Video/Audio Sync Bug Sort of Fixed - Video/Audio seems in sync when using headset and WiFi, without still a delay. Also without wifi so using data there is delay no matter what. --- Scratch that, i was watching a dodgy video i think! Looks fixed!!!
> New "Headset Hi-Fi" setting in "Sounds and Vibration." You may switch between "Standard" and "Super" and play a demo to see the difference.
> The mobile signal bar no longer says 3G/4G when it is not being used. Just a signal bar now.
> When charging the phone the Notification LED doesnt blink red anymore. Stays on continuous even when using the phone while charging. Always red light.
> Social Media videos skipping when music on in background and viewing the video. Then when going back to the music app the music stops playing while the song is continuing. >>>> This still occurs.
> Android Pay still unavailable.
> July Android Security Patch
> When switching between apps, the clear all button no longer says how much RAM is being used.
Root without unlocked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
Contacted my ZTE source about the bugs still being there. It seems quite clear that it is software bugs and really does seem like they are working on it so i suggest dont return your phones, just be patient for more software updates
Update - 30/08/16 News from ZTE
> The next update will fix the Video Audio issue.
> Social Media issue.
> Camera will have added 60fps recording option after chats with the USA team.
> Android Pay
Coming soon. End of this week/Next week should be by OTA.
If anyone notices anything still not working please post here and i will send the ZTE team an email and keep this topic updated.

2GB? That's a big update.
If it's not too late, can you capture / save that update and share it with us?
Added a link
Installed and testing. First thing i noticed is that the Lockscreen wallpaper bug is fixed.
"Back up the data and APPs in your phone by using the built-in Backup function. To enable the built-in Backup function of your phone (an SD card must be inserted), select Backup and Restore from the main menu"
I think they're imagining this
Keep updating the new topic with updates what figure out with the new update.
Did the sound issue being fixed or not several people mention in different threads.
Sent from my iPad Air 2
New "Headset Hi-Fi" setting in "Sounds and Vibration." You may switch between "Standard" and "Super" and play a demo to see the difference.
At 2GB, this seems like a full image. I'm not at a computer; can anyone check it out to see if that's the case?

The OP mentioned "B02", not "B20". Typo?
Anyway, the B20 for the US version was only ~80MB. The OP reports 2GB for this one. Sounds like the difference between a standard OTA update and full image. Not sure why they'd do a full image update, but some companies have/do.

It's specifically for the European version. A2017G is the model sold in Europe.
Any information about the bootloader for the European model with this update?
Is the launcher still without an app drawer?
Does the double tap to open option included from the beginning to European version or not??

No Info about bootloader yet. Stock launcher still without app drawer, but honestly, try Nova or Action launcher. I´d even use these with stock android.

Google Maps 10 Pro

I used Google maps for my navigation for the 1st time yesterday and was shocked how jerky and un smooth the whole experience was, like the FPS was very low. Anyone else had this and is there anyway to solve this?
What FW are you on? It got loads better for me after the update from 119 to 126.
I have disabled picture in picture for gmaps and it does seem better
Settings>apps& notification>apps>settings>special access>picture-in-picture
See if it makes a difference for you
It's jerky for me only on the private space user not the regular space user mi use maps go on PrivateSpace user now. Good luck.
Yet another Huawei unexplainable bug unfortunately. Really not liking my phone at the moment
They fix it in latest update

I'm having the same issue. I can see my photos are still there, via a file manager, but cannot access them through Gallery any more (only new photos taken since the update). Also these photos are no longer available in other apps either (like Instagram). Would love to know a fix for this. Thx.

Google photos unable to save

So honor have pretty much failed to impress me with their software updates and as we all know EIS is still missing from the phone... But Who cares..? Google let's u edit and stabilize videos so that was sufficient.... BUT am getting unable to save the Stabalized videos....
Like u open Google photos>select video >edit>Stabalize>let the app do its thing and click save... Click save... Its not working
Is anyone else is also facing the problem, kindly check and let me know... Very frustrating to be honest
I can even view Stabalized videos... But not save them... No problem with pics edit
Same problem here, there's no solution until now - see this thread: https://support.google.com/photos/thread/102129?hl=en
Is there a solution for this? In my S7 Edge i can stabilize videos without problems but the Mate10 simply can´t do it. Have been pass throught very updates of the phone and even the app but the problem still the same.
I have eis... On mine
Just waiting for GPU turbo
Even have received a security update since.
On b162 with my blk l09 c675 variant
Hopefully b168 will be out soon.

how is the emui 9.1 ?

As the title suggest.. if anyone here running the 9.1 beta on, please share to us how's the improvement on your device.. I know it's only available on Chinese handsets.. "like a small review"... Thanks
Yes Yes please do share! Ive been reading about this and I want it on my M2P. Does it really make the device efficient? anyone?
i've used a p30 pro in the store, all i can say is the gesture navigation feels more fluidly .... can't say how but it feels more snappy as on my mate 20 pro.

It depends on the compatibility between the 2 file systems involved (maybe not completely different...)
For example, about 15 years ago, starting from Windows XP, people was able to convert FAT or FAT32 disks to NTFS without reformatting issuing a simple DOS command:
convert drive: /fs:ntfs
I have a Mate 20 Pro, LYA-AL00 and I just received the 9.1 update (not beta). First of all, it was large - over 4.5 GB. Yes, third party app notifications are instant, BUT they don't provide a summary AND they cannot be removed from the lockscreen with a swipe. If they can be changed, I haven't figured it out yet.
Camera AI can now be turned on or off. I like that. The AI also seems to be faster.
IMO, I could take or leave this update.

Nope. Sure isn't
As for other new features, I haven't found them. Honestly, I want to roll back. The notifications thing really bothers me. Even on the drop down menu, third party notifications cannot be swiped away. You have to open the app to remove the notification. It sucks.
BTW, the Chinese update added FIVE bloatware programs, including a karaoke app, a browser, a news service, and a couple others I couldn't figure out. Thankfully, they were deleatable.
