Hello,
I have a Moto G with Android 4.3 and i want to change the network type preferred, but i didnt found this option, i always used the command *#*#4636#*#* and change to "WCDMA Only" in my old phone (Samsung galaxy y duos, Android 2.3.6).
My data acess always oscillates between 2g and 3g, there is other way to force connection only at 3g ?
Thank you guys
I also wanna know that

"WCDMA Only" should force it to be 3g only. That's on every phone I've had, and it works.

I tried. I downloaded but I don't know where to go in this app. I can't find the options or the menu to change to wcdma only. Can you please do a dummy tutorial for me?
Seriously I've stared this app for hours and still no clue

Oh, when you open the app, it's supposed to take you to the menu that you were taking about.
Look and I'm the general or q&a thread, there is another topic about this. Some people are saying theirs are locked from this menu unless they do something else. If I find a link, I'll send it over

Seriously!?
Have you tried to see each option of the app?
I'm gonna try to help you: open the app, there's a menu. The first option should be "Phone Information", tap that.
So you have a lot of information about the radio, your chip, phone number, your provider, cellphone network and more...
Look for the option like "Set prefered network type" (or something like that. I'm trying to imagine how it's written in English, once here I use it in portuguese).
That option is a combobox with a lot of other options to choose. Always use:
"GSM only" (forces to use 2G, saves battery, you can also use that from Android Config Menu)
"WCDMA only" (forces to use 3G, speed up connection, but drains battery)
And "WCDMA prefered" (the phone always try to connect to 3G, but when it's not possible, it gets 2G).
The default option should be "GSM auto (PRL)". Similar to WCDMA prefered, but read this the see difference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6591742&postcount=2
Be very careful with the other options. CDMA is very different from WCDMA.
CDMA is a different 2G modulation and it's not compatible with GSM neither Moto G.
EvDO is used only in some countries and providers, google to learn about it.
And LTE is 4G connection. I don't know if Moto G radio support that.
Remember: try it in you own risk! I'm not responsable for any connection problems you get. And try not to change nor tap any other option in that menu.
I'm using this app here with any trouble.
Ok, I see this menu, I select my network preferred type but nothing happens...
Am I supposed to do something after select the network type I want?
I mean, the Phone is still changing to 2g...
I'm so frustrated with not being able to force wcdma =/
Problem solved.
Download and install Phone testing from play store.
Thank you guys =]

I am on the same boat. The change I made in (*#*#4636#*#*) - WCDMA prefered - won't save. After each reboot/restart it goes back to GSM PRL.
My G isn't rooted or modified in any way, out of box state with few 3rd party apps.
Maybe is related to APN?
Network mode
HI Friends,
I like to use network preferred mode AUTO (3g/2g),
but from mobile network -> network mode there are only
two option that we can select either "2G" or "3G".
Some days back at first time when I opend this menu
neither of "2G" or "3G" was selected so It was working fine
with by defualt in auto mode.
But once I have selected this option now It is not possible to unselect both
2G as well as 3G and put phone back to auto network select mode.
Can anybody has work around for this.
I tried "Network" app as suggested but not useful for me.

In Settings > Apps you can reset app preferences which deselects 2g and 3g, but not sure it makes any difference. You lose any preferences you set for apps...

You can turn data on and off. There is actually an HTC widget that toggles data on and off.
Go to the market there is an app that you can use to toggle on stock rom. Just search 3G.

I found a way to turn off 3g/4g and have Edge enabled by going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > here you can toggle from WCDMA Only; GSM Only; GSM/WCDMA Auto (default). Selecting GSM Only switching my connection to Edge. How can we create a shortcut/toggle for this option?

There is no such option on the Inspire 4g.
*#*#4636#*#* is the option. Dial it. Go to phone. Scroll down. Select gsm only.

Does it really work ?
Yes. I use it to keep mine on gsm. I also used the stock widget to keep data turned off
Turning off 4G speed is easy. Turn on the phone, it doesn't exist

Then selecting GSM does not work for me..still reverts back to 3G "H+)
Any other suggestions? Do I have to root to get access to all the grayed out network options?
Thanks
It seems that through flashing CM10 I somehow messed up my data connection, i am not back on a stock image and only receiving 1x speeds even tho i have 4G here at work every single day since i have received my phone.
Anyone think they could help?
Also, my Network is set as "Unknown" I do not have an ERI version, and my PRL is set to 0. I have a MEID and an IMEI tho.
Have you tried using the app "phone info" to change the network you are on LTE/CDMA/evdo or CDMA auto(PRL) , since it sounds like your IMEI is still there

Yes i have, the only way it lets me be on 4G is if i have it set on "LTE only", if its on LTE/CDMA/evdo then it only does the 1x
Have you done the workaround?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29874815&postcount=1
1. Go into system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. Change to NV.
2. Hit back button and then click airplane mode button on the menu. Wait for the connection disappear. Then uncheck airplane mode and wait for it to come back and give you an empty triangle for a connection
3. Go back to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. and change to RUIM. Repeat step 2 except you should actually have 3g or 4g now, depending on the build.

Once stock: dial this - *2767*3855#. Back up anything you may want on internal SD prior as it will be wiped.
Should fix your issue, hopefully.

That did it for me! Thanks so much :highfive:
I don't know when this started. I can no longer use data while a voice call is in-progress. :-\ I'm currently running CleanRom 6.5, but haven't seen this as an issue in those forums (though it's been a while since I've perused them). I'm on AT&T, by the way.
How can I go about troubleshooting this? I don't even know where to start, and googling "at&t voice and data problems" is unfortunately too vague to turn up anything which actually pertains to my problem.
Is it while you're on LTE? I remember reading a long time ago that LTE on this device (maybe others too) switches off when a voice call is made/received. So if you're set to be on LTE only, that could be the cause perhaps?

Is there an option for LTE only, or some way to do that? If so, I was not aware.
But I think your point is valid. It may be a switching problem, trying the other Network mode options might help.
Or there may just be a switching issue on the network side, that you can't do anything about (except report it to your carrier).
There sure is, if you enter the phone information menu through dialer (*#*#4636#*#*).

Ah, I figured it was via the "secret" dialer code.
Seems like a poor option to pick (LTE only), since LTE is not present in so many locations.
Yeah I highly doubt that option would be used very much, but it is a possible cause for this problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I opened the testing window via my dialer, and the selected option is "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto". So SEEMS like it should automatically get on something other than LTE. Weird.
Thanks again!
You can select LTE only within apn settings. Bearer type I think it's called or something. It's at the bottom. Doing so causes my network to stop working even in areas where I get LTE.

Try removing your Sim card, cleaning it with an eraser and resetting it.
99% of the time any data issues are dirty or jostled Sim cards. (Also make sure data is enabled in settings)

He has data. It just cuts out while on a call. I think we sorted it out anyway.

The switching does not always happen correctly, its a known issue on AT&T's network on this and other devices (although I haven't seen your specific problem before, with data and voice not working simultaneously).
You can also specify some network types in Settings>Mobile network>Network mode (without the dialer code) on CleanROM (its locked out on stock the AT&T ROM). Try to force WCDMA and see if that helps.
Hi Omni Team,
Can we have the option of swtiching network mode(2G/3G/LTE) in the mobile settings? This is required for switching network for battery saving and selectively change network depending on the area the user is currently.
This option is there in most AOSP ROMS(CM, AOKP).
Thanks for reading this request.
Thanks,
Kunal

Just a thought, not sure if it is connected but I previously had the option to change between 2g only/ 3g only/ and 2g with 3g preferred. Today I switched carriers from t-mobile UK to giffgaff and also performed OTA update if latest nightly and the option now doesn't let you choose and only has 2g/3g prefered.
Not sure whether it had to do with the update or changing carrier.

I have a LG V10. Though I am on T-Mobile network provider.
If I want to change frequencies (which is what I think you are asking). You need to select the "Preferred Network Mode".
You do this by going to your "settings" > then click the "more" then click "Mobile Networks" then click "Network Mode" then select the the frequency the radio will operate on. Your choices are;
GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
GSM/WCDMA auto
WCDMA only
GSM only
Hope that helps.
