Video messed up on 178. - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Since I installed firmware 178 when I send video to people in WhatsApp it is messed up between normal playing, high speed and then slow when I send to people.
I uninstalled WhatsApp beta in case it was that and went back to standard version but it looks to be phone related and not WhatsApp related.
They are perfect on my phone but everyone I send to is having issues.
The videos were made with the stock camera app on video auto.
Anyone else having issues?

Was 178 an OTA update for you or did you install it manually? I noticed they have just uploaded a roll back so wondering if there is not an issue.

I installed on Funkyhuawei, right now I'm on vacation so can't change anything.

Well 178 had just been approved here in the UK so I'll let you know in about the weeks once it finally makes it's way to my device.

Nothing in the changelog about videos except for videos recorded with the front camera. Weird.

Yep, it should be there. :good: At least that's what I've heard from people who have had some time with review units.
It does, it's positioned in the middle of the notch near the top between the earpiece/speaker and the camera. It's not very bright but it's there. I currently have a review unit so let me know if you've any more questions!
Does it support EMUI Desktop/Easy Projection?

Yes, it does. It's got an hdr10 display but still waiting on official support from YouTube and Netflix etc. I've sideloaded the two HDR enabled apps for now.
Thanks a lot for your reply
How is the camera and battery life? I am seriously considering going for it. It will be my first huawei mobile after coming from Samsung Flagships. I am hoping it crushes the s9 in camera and battery

This should work for the Netflix apk:

And this should work for the YouTube HDR apk (there's a few steps to go through to get the HDR working on the sideloaded YouTube app but nothing too strenuous:

From my time with it so far, I don't see any setting for double tap to wake so I don't think it's a feature to be honest. I will say, the Face Unlock is incredibly fast and works in very dark scenarios also which is good. The fingerprint scanner on the front is also extremely fast to use.

Thanks buddy,
Will keep this and let you know I get on. I went into a phone shop today and got to play with the P20 for a few minutes. My impression was positive. I can also confirm the LED notification. Screen estate on the P20 is great so can imagine the P20 pro is even better. I have to say that the IPS screen on the P20 was also really good (even with a black wallpaper) so can imagine the P20 pro being even better with a black wallpaper given it is AMOLED.
The phone felt snappy. The only concern I had was around the placement of the fingerprint being so low at the front. I'm sure there will be ways to get used to this and also the face unlock to make things easy.

YouTube needs the sideloaded app, but Netflix works with HDR (it doesn't on the Mate 10 Pro).

Stock / Root Genuine Huawei EMUI Call Recorder?

I wonder if the P20 Pro comes with Call Recording as standard (in certain regions) or if anyone who rooted wants to try enabling the call recorder working on the Mate 10 Pro, Mate 10, Honor 9 etc here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-activate-huawei-call-recording-t3738349
For me this is a must-have feature and I'm very happy with it on the Mate 10 Pro.
Thanks

no working for p20
I can try to search one for your p20. Give me more details about was going wrong.

Yes, P20 rooted with magick disk.
With the permissions installed like in the post.
When you press options and then call recorded the app crashed, and the 2 buttons for double SIM calls disappear.
I tried mate 10 app, i think that is 8.0 and p20 is 8.1
For now, if you use Google ok deactivate it and try again. I don't have the APK for 8.1, but in my opinion it is not different . I will post the solution when it will be available.
What root solution is magick disk? Post a link please.
Why to root and use this recorder if there are many in Google Play that work great without the root?

Glitches on GPU Turbo ??

anyone got blue glitches on pubg after update firmware with gpu turbo?
Thank you. I thought i was the only one! It happened to me after the last pubg update.
I think its a bug from the gpu turbo... Other games are fine such as mobile legends, asphalt 9 etc...
using a p20 pro i also got the same problem.
---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
my pr20 pro also have the same problem
Have it too!
Do you guys know how to disable GPU Turbo?
Emailed Huawei support and here is their reply
Thank you for reaching Huawei. We are sorry to hear about the issue you are facing, rest assured we will do our best to assist you.
Kindly be advised that since troubleshooting is done, and the issue persist, we would recommend you contact the application developer to investigate and release an update to resolve the issue. Please update your application to the latest version once available.
Sucks... Looks like hey blamin PUBG lol
Update
Enquiry: SR220180918075329914: Regarding your graphics and app display.
Thank you for reaching Huawei. We understand where you are coming from, allow us to explain further.
Since these apps are developed by third party app developers, we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with the device. Hence, we request to message the app developers in order for them to update their version and to match the phone.
Damn...
Updated, now let's see if it works...
Sent from my HUAWEI ALP-L29 using XDA Labs
Just got the update as well.. Funny how Huawei's email is pointing to PUBGM.
Will try it now
I don't think it's a gpu turbo problem. I was playing just fine before the last update. I reported the issue to them. Maybe you should do the same. Maybe if there are many reports they will do sth to fix the game.
I don't get update from huawei using a p20 pro
Tried the update. Already working fine now.

I was playing fine after GPU Turbo update and before PUBG Sanhok update, if I'm not mistaken. I tried some Fortnite clone today and it worked fine too. Seems like the problem is with the PUBG itself. I emailed them my screenshots and they replied with some generic stuff about how they were already doing something about that.
Don't know who is really to blame as teams on both ends are obliged to provide normal performance of their software. Also would be nice to disable that GPU Turbo, without bootloader unlock codes I can't even rollback to previous update.
Damn, I just want to play PUBG.
I have no update notification just yet ?... Really wanna play PUBG so damn much!!

(Q) EMUI 10, August 9th apparently. Anyone seen any leaks?

By all accounts EMUI 10 is close to dropping for Huawei devices, bringing an overhaul of visual changes.
Anyone have any leaks or images to share?
Be nice to get rid of that bloody settings screen for literally anything else.
Hopefully it'll be lighter and less bloated with easier customisations.
Or is that asking too much
Update 10/09/19
https://9to5google.com/2019/09/09/emui-10-road-map/amp/
P20 pro will receive their update in 2020 which seems like a million miles away but it'll come around, least it's happening I suppose.
Got a small update today 1.74MB
Wasn't the big update apparently..
Has anyone received emui 10 yet?
Beta program starts September 8th.
Android Q, EMUI 10.
So they made an announcement that they were going to make an announcement??

Once it's released, firmwares will drop on halab and FF..
Then I'll just be grabbing it and installing it

(I'd just woke up pal, was super early and eyes hadn't opened quite just then, was just trying to avoid a crap thread full of negativity, but yea I get you )
Tbh the info out there is pretty sketchy at best.
The only device previewing it in China is the p30 pro. Which there is a video of.
I was so interested in the dark modes personally.
And ironically, I've just found a bunch of 9.1 emui themes which are actually working really well and are even theming 3rd party apps like WhatsApp, colours aren't awesome and there's no real editor of any kind but it's a step towards what I'm after..
Looking at the emui 10 video (which is probably a late version and will look identical to the final)
They've retained those bloody colourful icons in settings, the launcher is the same? I don't use it but thought they may have changed it.
Guess we'll see. Looks like they're going down the same route Samsung went down for literally the same reasons (OS too heavy)

Yea it was a nap mate. China / Huawei were getting a bit big a bit too quick for Google / USA, so Trump taxed their ass a bit, but overall Huawei was never going to eliminated from selling devices.
They just wanted to tax them a bit and let them know who's the ***** and who's not.
There's too much money involved to call it a day.
That being said, huawei seem to have had some insight into this as there is no way theyve constructed a full OS in that time, it must have been pre planned in order to have got as far as they have..
Being smart, they're protecting themselves..
I think one other thing it does mean tho, bootloaders are staying locked down.
It would take a very strange set of circumstances to turn that decision over.
Just can't see that ever happening.
