Yes I sow on my Korean SGS3 SHV-210S and in this menu you could change some factory settings fro SMS, GSM settings and etc., for example instruction for Korean SGS3 like here http://people.sarang.net/2963084

*#7285# - Allows you to change USB Mode Settings.

I want to know just for information, because for example in Korean version SGS3 possible to change setting for network priority and etc. see on picture

Maybe no one knows the codes yet.... It should be set on Automatic, My settings by default are perfect ,switches back and forth from 4g to 3g and the change is very quick, It does not lag or stutter at all. Even if there was a code i would never use it lol, But I guess google is your freind for now

Could this mean there is a hidden setting to just switch between WCDMA and GSM automatically?
I'm not yet in an LTE area so its pointless having the phone try to find an LTE connection. Currently I just have it locked into WCDMA but sometimes 3G reception is patchy and I want it to pick GSM automatically.

Maybe
Just Leave it In auto mode its not like your hurting the phone, If it receives a 4G signal it will switch if not then it wont, It doesnt waste any battery
The phone has this option in Settings>More settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode>AUTO MODE (LTE/GSM/WCDMA <<<<<<<<< This is the default setting. It will switch bands depending what the coverage is. LTE being Priority then GSM then WCDMA
I am 90% of the time in a 3G area and I have it in this mode

*#197328640# - almost the same code as the SGS1.
UMTS->Debug Screen->Phone Control->Network Control->Band Selection would be what one would want to lock only into certain bands.

Guys may be this will be useful for somebody.
*#0*# - using this code you could enter to the hidden service menu and test all main phone hardware functions psychically

[Q] Simultaneous voice and data no longer working?

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.

[Q] Network preferred type

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...

Sim card or sim card slot issue

Hi everyone, basically my POCO F2 pro works only on 2g cellular network (most of the time). I try already few ROM and that wasn't solve that problem.
If preferred network type isn't set manually for 2G only, phone just go crazy, APN appear on 2G but on any other network type just disappear and don't work at all (even is type manually).
I used screen recorder to shows you how this looks but I can't post it now (it's my first post)
Can you give me any advice?

Question 2G on A13

Can anyone who has already upgraded a Pixel 6a to A13 tell me if the "Allow 2G" option is still available in Settings-->Networks-->SIMs ?
Some people on twitter are saying that they cannot set 2G as a "preferred" network anymore, not sure what it implies.

The option is still here yes. However, you can't set 2G as the preferred network type.

Try this..
Open Dialer
type :- *#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone info
Select Preferred Network type & Scroll Down & select "GSM Only"

Thank you guys.
Current situation is bizarre for me. I need 2G working for voice only. My carrier is switching 3G off, and I cannot have VoLTE working (despite the corresponding option being enabled and carrier saying that it should work). Currently, when I make a phone call, the 4G data connection gets disabled and voice travels over 3G or 2G. When the phone call is over, 4G data connection gets back on. Since 3G is being switched off, if 2G suddenly became totally unavailable, I simply couldn't make phone calls anymore.

I believe you can get a number with Google Voice, and call thru the app. I haven't used it in a while tho.

I used "Toggle Network Type" app on earlier android, but not it can't set 2G as preferred type anymore.
Edit: actually it was Automate app that I used, but neither it nor Toggle network type work.

Not sure if you have tried enabling this option in the SIM settings (something to do with the Tensor Security settings as Google deem 2G to be less secure.
