1: You checked the FAQ's? / run a search?- as a suggestion you might want to start a thread on the subject as this is a "tweak" thread.
2: Please speak (post) in ENGLISH, instead of slang.
3: I made some posts on Amazon on the subject...
IIRC the process is pretty simple-
A: Go to network setting section and switch to CDMA mode and "enable" the GPS location function.
B: Reboot phone.
C: Once phone is up go back in and change from CDMA to GSM.
D: Reboot phone.

Your apps should work at that *point. (Assuming you have GPS radio turned ON)

*Some apps may need to be installed /reinstalled with GPS ON- so app hooks properly.

On my phone:
Google maps
Bing
And a freebie mapping app (name escapes me right now-check posts on Amazon) worked without a reinstall.

Oh, There is a app that pre-installs the list of GPS satellites the phone uses that speeds up the FIRST satellite signal acquire. From what I read FIRST sat signal acquire can take a long time (20 mins -/+) without that database.

(Once the database is updated you should get GPS signal within a minute or so- Clear sky or course.)

Check the posts on Amazon, or thread on Howardforums on the VS750 for name of app....
