So I've had my hermes for a few days, and I've noticed a few, interesting, things about it.

The boot screen shows HERM100.

The sticker on the back shows HERM200.

The plastics are the HERM200 style.

The stylus fits really well, too well as I popped the plastic end off of the shaft and had to glue it back on.

All the stickers on the back that cover the case screws are intact.

The serial number, when I registered with HTC, showed up as a Dopod 838 Pro.

Is this normal, or do I have some kind of freaky Frankenstein hermes? :-)

At my opinion android oreo's bootloop rescue party feature is best among the all. These feature try to boot android normally which is stuck in bootloop by any reason.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] elialitem:
Hello guys,

I have recently moved away form my Oneplus 3T to another device (?).

I turned it off after the switch but the next morning, exactly at 9:30, it turned on by itself from completely off without me even touching it. I though, weird, and I turned it back off.

This has been happening every morning at 9:30 am since a week.

I don't remember the auto turn on function is even a thing on Oxygen OS.

Is my phone possessed? How do I turn it off for good?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
Recently seen that for the latest 8** series Snapdragon SOC driven devices the HDR+ function on Google Camera was made functional on most of devices. The results in comparison to their original camera seems day and night from all points of view especially in low-light situations. As we now this seems to be Achilles heel for the Mate 9 and maybe the biggest reason that most of us lookup for other devices.

As I am no expert, I wonder if this function can be made functional on Kirin chipsets!? I want to take this opportunity to pull the alarm for the developers' and for the skillful members of this forum.

If successful most likely most of us won't look that soon for the planned new launches like: Note 8, V30, maybe even the next Mate.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swan Princess:
You can do it yourself you know. Just shoot several raw images and combine them into one in post. Not as quick as HDR+ but it works!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
That thing already know, but regardless of how hard you try (any app or setup) you cannot achieve results that good. Plus google camera's exposure is much better. Please check this thing yourself if you don't believe me.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy16:
does google camera even work on mate 9?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Yes. But not the most recent ones. The ones for 7.0 work.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Okiera29:
True HDR uses three different images that you then assemble in a photo editing suite of your choice. The 'HDR' function in any phone is not a true HDR and just a computer algorithm that blends three exposures. Since the Mate 9 shoots raw, most will just do it the 'real' way Would be neat to see this function in the Mate 9 for us lazy folks(yes I am lazy and yes I am a professional photographer:p)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
Ok, so no interest in this direction, nobody keen on improving the camera.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Okiera29:
Not what I was saying at all. If we can improve the camera and keep all the functions built into it by Huawei, I would be first in line to sign up. Hell, I bought this phone specifically because of the camera. It is a wonderful performer that I have not even begun to stretch to the limits yet, but I have only had the phone for 3 days or so. I look forward to an improved camera, but only without the loss of functionality
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:
Here we go: Unofficial Google Camera port updated with RAW support and HDR+ customization
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] benjmiester:
Man, won't even open. That's ok, I figured it wouldn't. Would cool if we could merge some code with our stock camera app. I like it better than Google's personally
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:
It working fine on my Mate 9.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] benjmiester:
Really? Interesting. Did you do anything specific or just install and go? I'm in FromFuture B198, rooted obviously. Maybe it's not happy with that. I'll try restarting at least.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:
No, I didn't do anything special. But pay attention: there are two different APKs. One of them is for Qualcomm CPUs. Download the one in the first link. This one.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
Hey guys, I've tried the other one I think and crashed the camera driver had to reboot! Lemmie try this one! Thanks kermex ;)

Edit: Nope! I open once, then can't open again :/ Oh well... Another curious thing is that it only detects the 12MB RGB Sensor... These sensores have so much potential, hope Huawei will get into the Camera Software deeper...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
So now it works, change hw level to legacy.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
Comparing histograms using 2 pictures, one is stock HDR and the other is using the Google Camera HDR+, I can conclude that HDR+ isn't working, can't see any improvements regarding dynamic range. What do you guys think?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:
The only thing I changed was the option to save as RAW. Nothing else.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
will test it with several set-ups to see if any improvement comes from the HDR+ function.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Looserke:
if there isnt a "nike" mark above the HDR+ icon, the function is not working

i tried using different settings, but not work for me, stay an "A" above HDR+
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
Soooo... How did you activate it then?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Looserke:
the screenshot was not made by my phone, it's a HTC U11.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
Oh ok then...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ytgbg:
If anyone find out the settings combination to get the check mark/nike logo in the white dot for HDR+ to be fully working, please share here.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:
It stopped working for me, today. Tapping the icon doesn't do nothing.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
Delete Camera's storage data and you can enter again the application.

No success for me with some setup combinations.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:
Mersi ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
No progress from anyone I guess.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
Nope, tried everything I think... Nothing, maybe a future update of the app? Idk...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
Mate 9 is superior smartphone. Fire me still best of the world. And can be no1 for long time if some developer can made this working HDR+ mode from pixel camera. I know mate 9 don't have so perfect CMOS sensor like pixel but we can see phones with same CMOS sensors like pixel (keyone,mi5s) can't do so good photos like pixel cuz they don't have software from pixel camera .

I'm thinking with combination of rgb an bw sensor in our mate and much more faster kirin CPU than SD 821 in floating point some developer if can so working HDR+ camera mode on mate 9 and EIS form pixel than our mate 9 can be flight ship for long time (I hate that wide screens on new smart phones...)

For me is mate 9 better and much valuable (aluminium is much more expensive than glass) ..
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swan Princess:
You can take several RAW images yourself and combine them in post. It's not that difficult. Works as all HDR+ modes only for subjects that are mostly not moving though.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BLEK0TA:
It is totally unpractical.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
The mate 9 camera sensors DO support HDR

Just looked at the specs for the camera sensors on the mate 9, and yes, they DO support native HDR, however they have to be implemented in the camera app you are using, and it has to be compatible with the hardware, you can't just download a google camera app from apk mirror for the pixel and expect it to work as the two phones use different sensors for their cameras (hence the "legacy" mode as mentioned earlier) different sensors, different implementations. The mate 9 camera app needs some work in this regard, but it does have excellent camera hardware so let's hope they work on their app to take advantage of it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bassiette:
Does it work on mate 8 ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
If you want good photos, stop jacking around with camera phones. Just the size of the image sensor is an issue. An APS-C sensor, typically found in most consumer dSLR's, is MANY times larger than even the largest smartphone sensor. Personally, I'd like to see smartphones "bulk up". Place a true retractable 5-10x optical zoom lens on the front, with an image sensor close to, or the size of APS-C. THEN you can get better photos. But, as long as the manufacturers/marketing/consumers are obsessed with the "slim, sexy, stylish" garbage, don't look for that to happen any time soon.

Photo of smartphone vs d-slr sensor size

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad.nexus:
Fkn finally! Somebody with some knowledge regarding this matter! As a photographer, thank you! LOL
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
Yep, fellow photographer. "Technically" since the mid 60's. I use to rock the developer/stop baths when my dad processed film for a local newspaper.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
So True

So True, if I want to take serious photos I just break out my Nikon out Canon DSLR, phone cameras may be great for quick photos they will never be as good as a true DSLR.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] catalindobre:
You are both off-topic! We don't need photography lessons, the question was simple, is there a possibility to activate hdr+ function on this device, regardless of the unmatched DSLR-like quality?

3. Activate switch.

4. Click on Pink overflow button and click on build and activate.

5. If Legacy ROM reboot else clear WhatsApp from recent and reopen.

Tapping the APK when download does nothing, and the overlay doesn't show in Substratum, am I missing something?
[Android Themes] arnabJ:
On which Android version are you?

This Theme supports Android 7.0 (API 24) and above.

If you are on supported Android version then try to re-download the apk and try again. Also make sure that Unknown sources are enabled in Security Settings.
[Android Themes] GroovinChip:
I'm on Oreo, unknown sources are enabled. I'll download again and try.

Edit: still says failed when I tap the APK
[Android Themes] qay surat:
No. I haven't used it before. Thanks.
[Android Themes] arnabJ:
I will send you another apk via PM. Please try that and report if it gets installed. Can you share the screenshot of the page where it states that Installation failed?

Happy to help. Feel free to ask for further help regarding this Theme.
[Android Themes] GroovinChip:
Thanks! I'll report back with an update. I guess I could screenshot for you, but I only get a simple toast notification that says "failed" when I tap the APK. Do you still want the screenshot?
[Android Themes] arnabJ:
Then I would suggest do recheck your downloaded file.

Check it's file size and if possible try a different Download manager or Browser.

Probably your's a corrupted file/download as I again checked and there's no error at my end.
[Android Themes] GroovinChip:
I see that your APK is 10.3 MB, but when I download ot, it shows as 9.8 MB. Strange. I want to use ADM to download it, but on Labs when I click on the APK in the OP, it automatically starts downloading without letting me choose ?
[Android Themes] arnabJ:
It's actually 9.80 MiB or 10.3 MB.

Here, copy this link and try via ADM: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4250002&d=1503480098

Surely whitestone is going to be the one to get again?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] fgr:
I contacted Whitestone. They said the domed glass should be released early September so we could have them before the release date (If the release date is actually Sept 15th).

I really like it on my S8+. A little thick, but no lack of responsiveness. Only other complaint is that dusk collects along the edge of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rumbikrobo:
I will be waiting a bit before ordering one
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Augman:
Going with this one for now: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Co...83391&sr=8-3&keywords=note+8+screen+protector

I have had pretty good luck with this company for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I'd try out the tempered glass protectors but not for retail price. Hopefully they do better than what is available for the S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gpvlog:
been looking at this one too. I typically do not use screen protectors but will on the Note 8. Can you tell me how well these work with cases?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] billinaz:
I havent been able to find a glass screen protector that would work with a case. The other problem is that these screen protectors only stick to the edges of the phone.... If there was a flat screen option I would have bought that..............
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] vinokirk:
Yes, I'm worried about using a tempered glass screen and a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Doesn't look case-friendly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Circlel05:
I used one from Armoursuit on my note 7 and liked it enough to put it on my s7e. Unfortunately they won't have any until the 15th. I order one similar and a tempered glass. Figure I'll try them both. Supposedly case friendly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] DankMoYin:
How are Armoursuit's screen protectors? Are they stylus-friendly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] masi0:
its already listed on their website http://www.mobilefun.pl/64792-whitestone-dome-glass-galaxy-note-8-full-cover-screen-protector.htm and should be available soon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] fgr:
I saw that, they say due in stock in 3 to 5 days. I guess they ship from the UK though, because they said shipping to the US takes 10 to 14 days.

I'm hoping Amazon will get them in at the same time Mobile Fun does. Then I should have it in two days :)
