HELLO . MY QUSTION IS : THERE IS PLAYSTORE VERSION YOU CAN USE ON THESE OR ANY INPUT KEYBOARD?Mine can't be activate though. Even the same service provider in Hong Kong which is the China Unicom. Apps can be installed. Just that some of the GApps are not working.
You may take a look of my app list. So far the battery is satisfactory. I can use it for 2 to 3 days before the next charge.

I also got mine (Chinese version) yesterday - but (unfortunately) I'm in Europe and therefore I can't activate the eSim through WeChat... It would be really great if all you guys working on it could remove the lock (my provider does use the built-in frequencies, so it should not be a problem) - I'm pretty sure it's just an SW-lock...
Did you manage to install any apk?
Couple of month ago I also tried things on my own but I lost hope. For the unlock part did you try this command ?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:
Yep, with misspelled "forbiden". Some proprietary locking mechanism, I guess.Code:>>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)
So, I've started to run out of ideas.
- 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.
What should I try next to free my device from that nasty lock?
Thanks!

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....
wow. as soon as I'm back on my linux I'll try it! Thank you very much
