[Q] Choosing 2g data on dual sim moto g - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a dual sim Moto G. I have a 3g sim and a 2g sim card.
I wish to use the 2g card for data and calls but the 3g sim for calls only.
Now I put the 3g sim in slot 1 and the 2g sim in slot 2. Now when i choose data mode for the 2g sim it changes the data network type to 3g without me choosing that option. And it changes my 3g sim to 2g network only.
I'v tried all sorts of ways but it still changes the sim network type on its own.
Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance, Ben.
P.S. yes I did search the forums first but I couldn't find any details about this issue.

In a dual sim mobile phone 3g network can be operated from one sim only so what you can do is activate 3g on the 3g sim and disable internet on it and then the only choice for 2g sim would be to stay on 2g and then you enable internet on it.
If it doesn't work try changing slots.
If I helped please hit thanks!

I have tried switching sim slots. What happens is when i select the enable data tick on the 2g sim the network type bar greys out and changes to 3g mode on its own. The only way i can change network mode is to de-select data mode and choose 2g again.
Cheers, Ben.

[Q] XT1033 Dual SIM 2G/3G Switching issue on Primary SIM

Hello,
I have a XT1033 Dual SIM model. And I use two SIM on it. Primary SIM which is on 3G plan and secondary SIM just for calls and no data plan.
When second SIM is enabled on Primary SIM I get only 2G. If i go to Settings->Mobile Networks and tried to switch to 3G, it is simply not enabled.
Now if I disable second SIM, I can switch to 3G on primary SIM.
Any one experienced it?
Thanks,
Simon Mandy
here is the solution..

Please Help to force switch 3G network on SIM2 on Huawei G730-U00

I have a Huawei G730-U00 that support dual sim. But only Sim 1 supports 3G network. Is there any help to switch 3G network on Sim2 without power off and change Sim Card? I want to change 3G network on Sim2 if Sim 1 is deactivated while using 3G on Sim2. Please help. If it needs rooted devices, or any force enabler, it is OK. Thanks
I got it now, to change 3G network without power off and changing SIM cards.
Thanks, everybody

Huawei Mate 9 only 2G possible?

Got the L29, so dual sim.
My first sim is for calling and sms, so I only need 2G but I can not set it to only 2G. Just the sim for mobile network (it's sim 2) can set to 2G, 2G/3G, 2G/3G/4G and only 4G.
The problem is 3G is really bad for sim 1 and this drain my battery for nothing, cuz I only need 2G for calling/sms.
I got a lot dual sim devices and this one is just strange in some things.
Regards
This is a problem for me, too
Dosen't work, I call already Huwei and they can not help me. Really bad :/
theres a setting in sim card management under mobile networks. it lets you pick which one gets data.
I can easily set 2G only for sim1 here, dont know what you did? Or your carrier doesnt support this, I mean if there is no 2G in your country, why could you change it to 2G?
Same problem on my mate 9 and my axon 7, seems to be an androidwide problem.

Naw, it works perfect with OnePlus 3, 3T, Mi5, Mi5s, Mi5s Plus and all other phones. Set Sim 2 to 2G/3G/4G and Sim 1 only on 2G. Here you can set Internet and this is it, the other sim go 2G/3G.

In "settings/more/mobile networks" I can set the preferred network mode for each sim card. Had this when I used it as dual SIM for my work: sim 1 data mode on 2g, sim 2 on 4g. Works perfectly, even on 2 completely different providers.

I don't believe. When mobile data is default set to sim 1, just to sim 1 can be selected preffered network mode.
In my case: sim 2 -default mobile data- can be set to 2g only/auto 2g3g...evrything. Sim 1 switched automatically to 2g/3g/lte auto-can not be set preffered network mode.
If i switch default mobile data to sim 1, preffered network mode can be modified in sim 1, but not for sim 2, and sim 2 switched auto to 2g/3g/lte auto.
I want like this:
1. sim1 default data-3g/4g/lte
2. sim 2---2g only. But this is not possible because just in this case, sim 2 jump into 2g/3g auto.

Nope... Just the sim which is for mobile network. If I change sim 1 to mobile network, I can set to only 2G but the other one will be 2G/3G

Ah I see what you mean! Have been playing with 3 different dual SIM phones last year so got it mixed up. What I did with my Huawei mate 9 when I used dual SIM was: sim 1 set to auto 4g 3g 2g and on sim 2 I overruled the automatic provider search and just picked the 2g network from my provider. It then still mentioned 2g 3g in dual SIM settings but it didn't connect to 3g because I selected a 2g only network.
Is this how you want it?
on my ZTE it's really funny. the setting is available but disabled lol
Fixed By using Tasker [No Root]
I got this issue fixed by using Tasker so probably there might be an ADB command to set the network mode
My fix:
Make a new task -> Press + button -> Mobile Network Type -> Choose required network mode
Note: Will need to enable USB debugging and use the command `adb tcpip 5555` for getting the permissions. Also this might need to be done after ever phone reboot

The answer is coming a bit late, but for the protocol: Both SIM slots can use every network standard from 2G to 5G. You can even disable 2G and force 3G only.
