@McMethylated do you have any suggestions? did you experience this with your Huawei Mate XS?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
don't you think the watch is too old to work because normally it shouldn't close just uninstall google pay and try the installation?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
It is not too old at all. It works the Google Pay normally with other very old phones. The watch does not close. What disappears is the Google Pay app on the Huawei Mate XS. It flashes out as the watch tries to add a credit card but it is still there as an opened app in the recent apps view. I can open it separately as an app but that doesn't do anything. I tried reinstalling Google Pay on the phone but getting the same result.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
I got a new Fossil Gen 5 instead of the Huawei Watch 2. I followed the steps and ended up with the same result. Google Pay on the watch initiates the process of adding cards but on the phone Google Pay just opens then flashes out to the background for ever. Any ideas?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
so I have the same watch as you and the same phone also if it closes it's a problem with the way is to install the gms go in parameter in search type administrator of the device and make me a capture please and tell me you have freeze gfs ?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
Do you mean I get a screenshot of the listed administrators in the phone settings? What do you mean by freeze gfs?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
I wanted you to take a screenshot for me when you go to the settings I asked you to see what is enabled

for the freezing of the gfs do you have any notifications that arrive?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
Here is a screenshot of what is in the administrator....I do not receive any notifications when Google Pay hangs in the background
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
delete google pay and test again to add your card without installing the application
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
I uninstalled Google Pay from on then phone and tried to add a card from on the watch. It did the same exact thing. It opened Google Pay on the phone (I believe as a Google Play Service) and then shut down kept running in the background
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
wait if I understand you correctly you have installed your watch on an android phone with the gms and you want to add your card on the android phone which is not huawei?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
I have a Mate XS with gms installed and running well for a year now except Google Pay doesn't work. I followed the steps on post #1 above on my new Fossil Gen 5. The Watch is now connected to the Mate XS and Google Pay on the phone opens up then hangs to the background as I try to add a card on the watch.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
ok i have no idea because i was able to transfer my watch without needing another phone and easily install google pay your watch is connected to another phone too right?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
No. Now it is only connected to the Mate XS. I think the problem has to do with Google Play Services. Which version of Google Play Services do you have ?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
my version is 21.09.15 and you ?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
I updated Google Play Services from Play Store and now Google Pay on the watch has been able to add the card via the phone.....so happy 😀😀😀😀
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
super good I will not have helped you too much but I gave you the idea :)
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
Great thx. Maybe cause I turned off auto update apps last year so it does not mess the GMS sideloading.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
Yes I think because for 1 years you have the gms I found it shady that the gms is not a jo Yes I think because for 1 years you have the gms I found it shady that the gms is not Up to date

On another note, have you been able to have an internet connection on the Fossil Gen 5 via the phone BT connection (with WiFi off on the watch)?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
yes it works well outdoors, check with the wears os application by pressing the three buttons at the top right
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
The watch is always connected to the Wear OS app via Bluetooth, no issue with that. The problem is have the Wear OS tethering the internet connection via Bluetooth as well.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
Ah in Bluetooth you do not have internet!? So I have no idea on the subject because I have internet because it takes to be able to pay.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] explicitcorp:
Did you ever get it working? I had a similar issue but I tried to first pair it with a different android tablet and it worked after that. Also were you able to resolve the internet over BT issue? I have that same problem now where the watch is connected via bluetooth but the internet only work with WIFI. Google pay doesn't need internet to work btw, you don't even need your phone near you and google pay will still work, it just stores your NFC card on their similar to how your actual card doesn't need internet to work either.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
Google pay needs an internet connection once its stored tokens have been used, so you would need to make a connection only to get new tokens. Yes I was able to have Google Pay working. Please check my posts above to know how. Internet thethering over BT does not work for me so far. I have to keep WiFi on on the watch all the time, but outside home I only enable Wifi hotspot on my phone once I need the watch to be internet connected for a short period cause if I keep them all the time, it will kill the power on both the phone and the watch within few hours.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] explicitcorp:
Ya ofc you need internet to set it up, I was just saying it's not needed to actually make payments. I go out without my phone all the time and the payments still work... And ya I've been doing the mobile hotspot as well but it kinda sucks, I wish I could get it working normally.. I might try a Samsung watch next!
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] explicitcorp:
On another note, do you use the skeleton case that comes with the XS? I've had it on for like a week now since the phone was brand new and the adhesive is already coming loose so it keeps coming off near the fold part. Have you had this problem? I don't know if I should try to add some non permanent adhesive to try to get it to stick down better
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] addx972:
I don't understand why you don't have internet in bluetooth when you open wear os and press the 3 small dots it is marked connected?
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
The rubber part at the fold spot is non adhesive and it just tucks in. If the rest is well sticking in place, there should be no issue with all. I do not recommend you use a glue or so as it could ruin the body of the phone.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
Wear OS is connected to the watch via Bluetooth. When pressing the 3 dots there is "Disconnect.....". That's not the problem at all. The problem is that on the watch there is always a cross cloud icon and no internet connection what so ever.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] yassero:
@McMethylated Once you do step 5, then you say wave a big Good Bye to internet connection on the watch hence it becomes a non-smart watch. The only way to keep it connected is to have it's WiFi always on and always enable WiFi hotspot from phone, which will kill both batteries in few hours. Sorry to say it is a useless solution.
[Huawei Mate XS Guides, News, & Discussion] t.kijas:
You're right, everything works as long as u are connected to e.g. home wi-fi. When you go outside, it can recieve notifications, it can answer them but not using audio and it's not able to use internet for example to show maps.

I´m having occasional problems with unlocking my phone with the fingerprint scanner.

Face Unlock works as it should.

I´m on firmware B55.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Other SmartWatches] Navy Lik:
Hello! I've recently got my hands on a brand new Nubia Alpha. This device is based on Snapdragon 2100 and uses modified Android Wear (based on Android 7.1). But global version is a crap - it does not have ability to install apps. That ability is just locked away. That's ridiculous!

So I want to unlock my device to make it fully functional. I've tried:

Installing apps via adb install. It says:

>>adb install WearforInstagram.apk
$ adb: failed to install WearforInstagram.apk:
Exception occurred while dumping:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: forbiden install apk.
at com.android.server.pm.PackageInstallerService.createSessionInternal(PackageInstallerService.java:581)

Yep, with misspelled "forbiden". Some proprietary locking mechanism, I guess.

Invoking package.installer via ADB. It does not work as installer, which is pretty common for Wear devices. I managed to call uninstallation screen that finishes successfully, but it has no effect on any app.

Calling system and factory apps using ADB. Looks like no special engineering menu is present here.

Using ADB --disable command to stop some system processes and see native interface. Yep, that works, and I even managed to disable a launcher. But then Alpha displays just "Loading Android" screen with running circle. No crashes to some fallback GUI, sadly.

Bootloader unlock from Fastboot. Does not works, displaying a standard message about oem lock.

DirtyCow exploit to get root. That could work... but ah, ADB shell seems pretty limited - I can't use chmod there, so I can't run anything executable from PC. I had an sh, but Shellshock vulnerability seems fixed here.

Temporary TWRP loading from Fastboot. Nope, it is locked too.

So, I've started to run out of ideas.

What should I try next to free my device from that nasty lock?

Thanks!

I bought a nubia alpha, is there anything new?

Any news on this?

Im completely in love with the design of the watch but i really need to get it working with apps. Ive been thinking if flashing a proper android os would work?

THERE ARE SOME VIDEO ON YOUTUBE THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
[Other SmartWatches] RomeusPrime:
There are actually 2 versions : the eSim Version and the bluetooth ( or global ) version. I think the eSim version is only available in China and it is the unlocked version where you can easily install app. For the Bluetooth version (ours) it looks like there is a lot of restriction. But Definitely we could have a great toy in our hands if it was unlocked....

I don't know if anyone speak Chinese but there is a lot of Chinese forum, maybe they also have hack but I could find anything good as I am using google translate. I remember finding a small exe file to push apk to the watch but couldn't make it work.

Here is a link

I don't know if anyone could make it work on bluetooth version
[Other SmartWatches] rafrgt:
a minha é a versão esim china, como instalar o app? este link não funciona com o nome do aplicativo
[Other SmartWatches] Neuralnox:
SO in theory you guys are saying, that the Chinese eSim version would work if properly set up?

Any chance we could modify the ROM on the International Version (or even chinese). My main concern with the china version is the lack of bluetooth tbh - as without an esim it'd be impossible to connect to a phone. While Local providers here do allow the configuration of an eSim, im concerned it wont work - let alone the fact that we do not know whether the China version allows for app installs.

So in essence we're here, someone correct me if im wrong:

1. Chinese version of the watch MAY allow installing apps.

2. International version of the watch MAY allow for the Chinese ROM to be installed .

Any ideas if the above would work?

Any ideas on modding the International ROM?

Additionally I made a reddit thread on it, that's going nowhere aswell.

Hi everyone,

My message is just to support you in what you are trying to achieve. The OS I confirm is horrible, and the worst part is that its biggest strength (its huge display) it is nowhere used to its full extent, starting from the watchfaces.

It is such a pity that such a marvel in terms of HW is ruined by such a poor SW.

I personally got the Nubia Watch and I was wondering in terms of OS/ROM how different it really is from the Nubia Alpha ?

I do only have limited skills in rooting devices, but I am willing to perform tests on my watch/es if it can help.

Let's push this!

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS

Thanks,
[Other SmartWatches] Neuralnox:
Completely Agree. The software is so horrible, ive even thought of ways to make it work with some RaspberryPi or any device that provides better support - even though realistically it seems unlikely that it'd be possible knowing the way manufacturers design screen cables .

Im realistically open to anything to make it function properly and provide us with a window of opportunity to leverage the capacities of the device.

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS
[Other SmartWatches] dgnoise75:
Well, that is the part I have already been through. I know the details of the display HW and it uses a MIPI interface that could be theoretically interfaced to a Raspberry. However, the connector (which includes both signals for display and touch, see attached photo) requires an adapter (contacts are super tiny). That would need to be built on a custom PCB, requiring fairly high electronics skills. On top of that since the resolution (960x192) is not standard I'm sure several custom parameters would need to be set. Last but not least a driver would need to be found/written in order to be able to talk to the display controller (RM69330).

As an alternative, an evaluation board like the one from ST could be used, but the same issues would apply.

32F469IDISCOVERY - STMicroelectronics

32F469IDISCOVERY - Discovery kit with STM32F469NI MCU, STM32F469I-DISCO, STMicroelectronics

www.st.com

That's why the easiest option is still to use the Nubia HW...

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS
[Other SmartWatches] Neuralnox:
Great post.

Ill still investigate how can this be expedited as a process - while of course I focus on a way to leverage the current handset.

Even if we can interface it with a RaspberryPI, most raspberries tend to be pretty large for the power they provide - so I'm not to keen on doing that tbh.

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS
[Other SmartWatches] RomeusPrime:
Hi,

Thank you for the post.

My understand is that the Chinese Esim version does have the Bluetooth/Wifi. The Esim is just an additionnal feature. You can read the description of Esim here : https://www.fonearena.com/blog/276408/nubia-alpha-price-specifications.html

So to me your are right on both point,

1- The Chinese version allow installing apk. In a previous a post a link to a tool I found on a Chinese website.

2- International version of the watch MAY allow for the Chinese ROM to be installed. To me the difference between the Chinese and Bluetooth are only on a software level. The HW should be the same. ( this is only my thought)

I tried hard to find the original Esim Rom but wasn't able to find it.... But knowing that I'm not the only one working on it bring my hopes back :)

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS
[Other SmartWatches] dgnoise75:
@RomeusPrime

I did see your post about the tool on the Chinese website. I was able to see the file list but I wasn't able to download them since apparently, it requires to have an account that can be created only with a Chinese phone number. Am I missing something?

Definitely bring your hopes (and contributions) back ;-)

Thanks!

[Other SmartWatches] Neuralnox:
Hey thanks for the heads up!

That's a big step in the right direction. It seems that Aliexpress. Has the chinese version available. Maybe it's worth a try to get it.

Would i be able to unlock the eSim?

Does it have english?

And if i do get it would I be able to pull an image of the ROM for you guys?

Is it the same thing with the Nubia watch (that one seems a bit prettier)?

I think we should keep this thread alive and slowly work on this until we have a solution.

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS
[Other SmartWatches] dgnoise75:
From the information I have I can tell the following:

1) The Chinese version you are pointing out supports both Chinese and English languages.

2) The e-Sim it is stated works only in China. Not sure whether this is a software lock or else.

The supported frequencies are as follows:

2G: GSM:1800

3G: WCDMA:2100; CDMA:BC0

4G: LTE FDD：B1/B3; TDD-LTE：B38/B39/B40/B41

Ultimately however the goal is to unlock the OS, so even if eventually the e-SIM does not work it will be just like the global version, which I understand is the one we all currently have.

Nubia alpha vs Nubia Watch: they of course definitely share a lot of features, see the attached comparison.

The main difference being the camera on the Alpha. The internal PCB I would assume it is different since on the Watch it has been reduced greatly in size.

The major difference I see however is in the ROM/software. Just by comparing the available pre-installed apps and settings the 2 watches are quite different.

I currently own a Nubia Watch Global, but I would pull the trigger on the Alpha Chinese if that can help.

I would personally suggest creating a new thread in which we start collecting all useful information and keep updating the initial sticky post? This could attract more interest and stimulate people to contribute. Or we could ask the moderators to create the Nubia Alpha/Watch dedicated section. Agree?

Let's continue!

#FreeNubiaAlphaOS
[Other SmartWatches] Neuralnox:
Completely agree.

Also sounds (id rather not experiment) like ill pull the trigger to the Nubia Alpha Chinese Version these days aswell so that we can work on something concrete. I dont care about the esim so im not really worried about that.

Also if mods could create a section for us to talk and share it'd increase the exposure we get and hopefully pull more people in - as well as itd make it much easier to followup on this task.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domi471:
Hello everyone,

My brother gave me his soft bricked G Pad 8.3 and so I thought giving it a chance by flashing LineageOS (lineage-14.1-20181111-nightly-v500).

Btw I am super thankful that there are still updates released here, which I absolutely did not expect. So hundred thumb-ups here :)

So far I tried:

Flashing newest TWRP (3.5), wipe everything (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data), then flashing Lineage. The pad still kept booting into TWRP. As I read that sometimes an "Error 7" occured with some TWRP versions here and here in the forum, I tried with an "older" version of TWRP (3.3.1 currently) altough I didnt get error 7 but just to be sure.

So after flashing TWRP 3.3.1 again wiped everything, copied the ROM-zip to the pad, flashed the LineageOS and rebooted, but still the pad booted into TWRP instead of the OS.

So I guess I somehow have to overwrite the bootloader right? So ok I installed the Kitkat bootloader (from here). Then rebooted again, installed LineageOS again, but still. The pad boots into TWRP. Would be happy for any hints on how to fix this :)

Ah yeah and I tried this also already, but as the LG software seems outdated and does not support the pad it did not work.

Btw. ADB commands worked, the pad is recognised by a windows computer so that I can copy files to it, and download mode also worked.

Kind regards,

Dom

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indie Zex:
Sorry for late reply:

1. Maybe you are trying to flash ARM64 instead of ARM gapps (LG G Pad 8.3 is a 32-bit device)

2. Or you have a G Pad Google Play Edition (code name V510) or Verizon LTE model (VK810), so lineage-14.1-20181111-nightly-v500 won't work because it is for regular model (V500)

Hello,

I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Watch on AliExpress last year.

Before that I read a article about the watch. According that article it would be possible to change the watch to English but it is NOT possible.

The Xiaomi Watch App does only find the watch when I choose the region of China.

In all other regions the App can't found the watch.

Is there a firmware update to change it?
