On my Samsung Phone's there was usually a USSD code you could put in to force 3G. My phone will often switch to 2g when there is only 0-1 bars of 3G but I want it to stay on 3G. Any ideas on how to do this on a non-rooted U.S. Moto G?
If your phone running 4.4.2 then go to settings->more->mobile networks->network mode
yes

and I think the same or similar way to do that is in 4.3
As far as I can tell, that only changes the preferred network mode. It will still fall back to 2G if there is no 3G. I want 3G only, no switching back and forth.
if *#*#4636#*#* works then go in phone information and Set preferred network type to wcdma only
(this must be done at every boot)

As soon as I type it in it disapears and no menu pops up. I'm in KitKat OTA. That code did used to work on my Samsung though.

Are you rooted? Because if you are install xposed framework and then gravitybox,in gravity box you can add quick tiles,one if those quick tiles is a network mode tile and you can enable 2g,3g or both

But depending on your network,will you not lose signal completely when on 3g mode only?, as networks use 2g as a backup for when 3g signal drops,

Yes I know it will lose network sometimes, I'm ok with that.
I am not rooted. I moved to vanilla android so I wouldn't have to root and change roms. Can I root this phone without reinstalling?

That looks like exactly the menu *#*#4646#*#* does (which isn't working for some reason as a USSD Code.). Perfect, thank you.

No,it would wipe your phone once you unlock your boot loader to begin the root process

Change to WCDMA preferred and go home screen it should save automatically also did you buy the global version or US version? If you buy US Version you'll only get 2G. If you have the Global version check your apn to see if its correct.

you should check the apn first, i have same problem with you (i live in indonesia), then i correct my apn as my operator suggest then it's fine.
if you're sure your apn is correct, then you can force your phone to works in 3g only.
download this
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.testing.phone
, install it, open and select wcdma only. then your phone should only works in 3g.

Hi. My friend just bought the global version of Moto g. We live in Iceland, Europe.. Iceland has the same bands that Moto g supports, 850-900-1900-2100... But 3g is not working at all....
APN is correct and we've tried this app you recommended. If we force wcdma nothing happens.
3g is on in settings/more/mobile networks..
He's on 4.4.2
Please some advice Thank you..

Yup. Infact both also can use. but certain apps like singtel barclays uses the eideas apn.
hi you can ask on maxicet's thread because it is his rom,
try changing it into hsdpa mode only it will improve your 3g
or flash the LB2 modem if it doesn't work try reflash the rom with wipe/factory reset (don't format system)
i read that some users added a new singtel apn (internet) and they could use mobile data after that. Like kuakua's example if i didn't interpret him wrongly
Thanks

Same here. Working OK. I think if the phone is locked it also disable other functions (on my S3LTE/SonySP couldn't chose LTE, but when I unlocked my phone and rebooted it was available.)

I have a dual-sim 16 GB version (called "Colors Edition") from Brazil and I use that app perfectly. I can force my phone to use WCDMA when it's necessary using it, it's very easy and have the same functions of service menu,
Just type *#*#4636#*#* on the dial pad and you can force 3g from there

The apps advanced signal status and phone testing work. Unfortunately the settings are not retained after a reboot.

okay, so i have came uptill last step in phone info menu where we got to select the preferred netork type. Unfortunately, after selectin any other mode xcpt GSM only it goes back to GSM only. I tried turning rradiio on and off. It shows wcdma only but if I go back to previous menu and come back it again goes back to gsm only automatically.

The Xposed Module Intelli3G has some useful options i.e Force 'WCDMA only' mode.

Useful info. If you're unrooted though you can still use the phone testing app. I noticed after persistently setting g to wcdma only eventually it retained the setting even after rebooting.
