This page is shows compatibility information regarding webOS devices use on a non-official networks.

Please, add only one entry per network/phone model.

The "App Catalog" column percent number represent the total number of available Catalog apps compared to the official PreCentral count. You can get the available apps count by searching for an empty string on the main App Catalog app screen.

Rebel SIM with webOS 1.4.0

Note that the Rebel SIM II is officially not compatible with webOS 1.4.0. Many users have experienced problems including "SOS only" mode, damaging their SIM cards, no data connection at all or the Always roaming problem. There is an ongoing discussion at PreCentral.net forums.

The current best workaround (by user sconix) for this problem is to load the phone's modem with an older firmware from a previous webOS release (1.3.5.2 is sufficient), see this post for more info.

In short, you have to extract the castleumtsfw.tar from webOS.tar from the Doctor image. Then copy it to the /tmp directory on the phone a run PmModemUpdater -m -e -o </tmp/castleumtsfw.tar.

Italy Vodafone Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes* 1.3.x-2.1.0 The default setup works, but it will use "web.omnitel.it" as APN for data, which costs far too much. You need to subscribe to a data plan and manually change the APN.

(*) The App catalog works, but you can't use an italian address to register, so even if you can see "pay" apps, there's no way to buy them.

    • The use of no username and password seems to be what makes the Pre unable to use MMS here. Setting it manually empty leads to the Pre automatically entering "hs_null" as the username (and probably password as well).
