You will need to install an AT&T CAB designed to add the AT&T data plans to the phone. Then you'll be able to get MMS working by setting your MMS servers.

Enable the GPS in the CDMA side and then switch to GSM mode. The GPS should still stay enabled. I've done it that way and it seems to work fine for me.

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....

Hey There.... I just picked up a Fathom from Amazon - updated to L7, ran the tweaks supplied by eatbuckshot successfully and then turned everything off the Today screen and installed Mobile Shell 3.5 along with MSkip-ProPlus_Freedom_Full_3.5.5_-W-VGA_20101201 from Mskip and finally added Resco's FIle manager and SKtools.
Having used an HTC TP2 and and HTC Imagio booth rooted and customized with various ROMs and also currently using a Rooted Droid X with Liberty 2.0 I have to say the Fathom as it stands is now Numero Uno - Thanks!

Yes, as long as you edit the registry appropriately or use an uninstaller.
