I have just managed to get it working
yeee haaaaa
I am using these settings:-
Modem type : Cellular Line (GPRS)
Baud rate : 19200
IP Address : Server assigned
Software compression : Off
Header Compression : Off
DNS : Server assigned
ALT DNS : Server assigned
WINS : Server assigned

Kev, i have read the other posts on the subject, I have an unlocked XDA, using the special edition xda developers rom, i am using the settings you supplied, but still the "g" sign appears for a few secs then disappears. and when connecting to GPRS, i get a failure message, "unable to connect for an unknown reason..."
Any ideas?
cheers

The 'g' is only supposed to appear for a short time. It show you logged in, but something else in the settings is till wrong. Could be a proxy you need, nameserver settings, ...
From a usability standpoint, the operators did everything wrong they could have possibly done wrong with GPRS.
Country code 1 ???
HI Kev,
I have come to realised that my xda came with area code 425 and country code 1 as default and noticed that you do the same for your connection to uk vodaphone. Just a point of interest though: when I tried using phonext which is a dialler and ringtone assignment software, the number called will be with +1 country code; ie to the USA instead of dialling to a UK number.
I still can't figure out why country code is 1 when you use it for GPRS in the UK. Any ideas anyone ??
Cheers
hi anyone know the gprs dial up number for vodaphone uk - i think i got the setting right but i seem unable to qualify the "my connections phone number box" - do i need to enter anything and if so what is it ??
:? cheers...
bit hasty with the request i ment to ask 4 the access point!

Hi I used BadKevs settings as follows, I did have to change area code to my area but the rest worked for me hope they do for you.

thanks for taking time to reply i found this link -

i am sure this will be usfull to others ..... i did notice that the search engine works better when spellings are correct " vodafone"
Alright dudes, thought I'd post this up as it seems to be the most optimal solution for fixing most instances of the "Unable to obtain server assigned IP address." and it doesn't seem to be widely publicised. I chose a new thread as there seems to be so many instances of this issue. Might be an idea to put this in a stickie, or the WiKi.
Change the "EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Then do a soft-reset.
Basically, the problem is caused by the DHCP IP address assignment timing out, causing the connection to be sometimes dropped (even though an IP address may have originally been acquired without a problem) and hence the error message. Disabling DHCP forces the immediate assignment of the default IP address which doesn't timeout (this has already been detailed on this forum).
Note: This fix retains the internet pass-thru ability of ActiveSync, unlike the other reported solution of disabling "advance network functionality".
I hope this helps some of you out there with this issue.
Or if you dont want to do a registry hack when you can do this:
Settings wireless networks -> network adapters -> Remote-NDIS Host -> use specific IP address:
IP address: 169.254.2.1 <-use these addresses
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default GW: 169.254.2.2
Hit OK and that will do it.
ok, so what am I doing wrong?
I have checked my registry, and and value as in post 1 is 0
and I have set the IP address etc as in post 2 and I am still getting this stupid message.
What else can I try?
Any ideas?
thanks
Thanks man!!!
thank you very much....
Nice!
This is awesome. Frustin, I did it without the regedit and the error appears not to be returning. Just go to Settings, R-NDIS on your PPC and put in those numbers. I've been having this error for well over a year!
thanks!!!!!!
you're wonderfull!!!!

I'm using WMDC (Vistax64) and I had same problem with my TouchDiamond.
I solve this after change registry value :
"EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Then do a soft-reset.
Many thank's
thank you man,you can't imagine how you made my life easier with this post. 1000x thx
Hi everyboby,
I created another route ton access on a exchange server from outside and getting pushmail.
It works but the certificate doesn't match with the fake ipadress specified.
To bypass the certificate authentification i created two registry entries :
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\hosts\server.domain.tld\ipaddr XX XX XX XX
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\hosts\server.domain.tld\ExpireTime 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
this works well with some devices (WM2005 & WM6) but with another else (WM6) it dont work.
I dont understand why it don't work.
It seems ton be a resolution order (which depens of connection type) because when i make a lookup :
with no connection : domaine.tld -> fake ipaddr (it works but no connection lol)
with AcSync or Data connection : domaine.tld -> true ipaddr
Is there another registry entry to disable DNS checking before registery when a connection is open ?
thanks in advance for responses and sorry for my bad english.
I bought the Sprint Touch, and paid the Metro folks to get it "full flashed" (with Internet, MMS and ESN added to Metro inventory) to MetroPCS (these guys do a side business of flashing Sprint/ VZW phones to Metro). The GPS still doesn't work - they said that they charge more money to do that and might involve installing another ROM, and it'll take more time (I thought they didn't know much more, and just might be reading this forum to know what they do).
The phone has the stock ROM (latest 3.03.651.4 provided by HTC with Win Mobile 6.1, with Radio version 3.42.30) - how can I enable the GPS? Will it involve a new ROM? If so, will it remove my metroPCS flashed settings and ESN from imetro inventory?
Any help appreciated.

I dont know who these guys are your dealing with, but if you actually paid them to flash a ROM onto MetroPCS - weird they flashed it to the Last known Sprint Stock ROM and left it at that level
If you press and hold the power button+camera button+stylus in reset hole until a 2-color screen comes up - what is it that it says in the upper left
That will say if it is unlocked it is is at level 2.31
from there you can search and find any custom ROM and see if that will do what you want with internet, data, etc including GPS

Thanks D_D,
Question again: The Vogue ESN is already added to the Metro PCS inventory (my phone is activated) - will flashing another ROM remove it from the inventory in any way (will I have to reactivate)?
I guess after flashing, I'll have to modify the settings to get the MMS and Internet working again, right? I've seen many ROMs around here - do you suggest any (heard 6.5 is the latest craze)? I think I should be flashing to a Generic ROM, not a Sprint one, right?
BTW,
the 4-color screen after power+camera+stylus in reset tells me the following:
VOGU100
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3
Serial
So I guess it is not really unlocked, eh? I think I'll have to unlock it(with Imcokeman's unlocker) before I flash a ROM...
I have mine on metro running winmo 6.5 v7 and all works great. Just have to read the forum. By flashing another rom it will no change your radio info, but your personal data such as contacts txt and emails will get erased. All you do is back it up and then restore it.
joeblaster,
Are you running NFSFan's ROM v7? WHat GPS cab did you install for MetroPCS? I think NFSFAN has attached the ones for Sprint, Verizon, Alltela and Telus.
Also, is the MMS and internet working? Did you use the settings from the Stickied thread?

Yes I am using wm6.5 ver7 and I did use the settings and everything is working, mms,internet and gps. Here is the link I used for gps http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377
you have to find a program called
qpst to edit this on the radio gps1
Server IP Address = 198.17.1.0
Server Port Number = 3425
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calcultation = mobile
for the Internet you have delete the existing connection and use the following settings:Number to dail = #777
Username: [email protected]
Password: metropcs
Domain: (Leave Blank)
Select Proxy Settings and enter the following values:
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)
on the advance tab select your current connection name for both work network and internet.
Oh, you dont need any gps cab and I dont think there is one, just have to edit the settings manually.

joeblaster, thanks for your reply. I have the internet and MMS working, but GPS is a no-go still. I tried these GPS settings in the thread that you mentioned but they did not work - maybe I am doing something wrong. Would be grateful if you could check your QPST and registry settings for me and help me out.
Using QPST, under gps1 tab, there are fields for
PDE IP Address = (NOTE that this is not Server IP - or is it?)
PDE Port Number = (NOTE that this is not Server Port - or is it?)
PDE Transport =
Position Calculation =
Now, when you fill in Server IP and Server port per your earlier post, do you input these numbers in the PDE IP and Port fields?
Also, did you tweak the registry as the thread mentions. If so under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS, what are your settings for:
GPSMode =
ServerIP =
ServerPort =
Do you input the same values as you posted in the step above for Server port and IP?
I am confused between PDE IP/port and Server IP/Port values. Are these supposed to be the same in QPST and registry?

Hi..ok you are on the right track, yes you have to enter the PDE Ip adress and the port number by hand on the qpst:
PDE IP:198.17.1.0
PDE Port: 3425
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation =Mobile
(important, make sure that all the check marks on the left are checked, just uncheck them and check them back up, write to phone, ##3424# exit, yes, soft reset with power button.
Must update Registry by hand as well:
GPSMode = 4(not 2 takes forever)
ServerIP = 198.17.1.0
ServerPort =3425
after updating registry, soft reset again and you are done.Try it with gps viewer and see if if locks.
Let me know if you need more help.
I got a question, is it Position Calculation =Mobile or PDE cuz its says on PPC geek Using mobile will work, but takes longer.. so witch is best Mobile or PDE?
Same problem on Verizon
I flashed to OME 6.1 then updated the radio then NFS 6.5 everything works but the stupid GPS I have tried many different things that are online even going back to sprint rom without gps and them flash all the way to 6.5 anyone has a solution to get the gps working on the xv6900. I will really appreciate it.
