How to force WCDMA on Moto G?

The menu *#*#3646#*#* not work.

I don't own a Moto G but normally the option is in the Mobile Network option in Settings.

The code is *#*#4636#*#* and its working i have just checked it.
I have unbranded , unlocked Moto G from P4U UK.

Mine is a brazilian dual sim 16GB (XT1033), and this code not work.

I also wanna know how to do it

on my galaxy nexus it is:
*#*#INFO#*#*
(*#*#4636#*#*)
not sure if it will work on the Moto G

Not working on telcel mexico version either

Any ideas on how to unblock this menu, yet??
I used it a lot in my htc one x to reconnect whenever my carrier connection was lost

Guys guys guys I found a way to get into that menu

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.

Moto g forced 3g
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.
m using mot g indain release..plz hlp ty

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.

*#*#4636#*#* doesn't work on MOTO G

I see this option under "phone info" called "turn on LTE Ram dump." Any idea what this is?

On Moto G XT1032 GB Retail is working with this code. Does anyone know that is Phone info -> Set preffered network type: GSM Auto (PRL) ??

My G is from german amazon (XT1032) and the code works on the original stock and also after its update. Today I have flashed Global GSM US retail ROM just to try if I wouldn't be lucky enough to catch the Kitkat update. Well I wasn't but as a side-effect I confirmed that everything works (there was a debate on it in another thread) AND the code does not, even if the US version is also XT1032. So it depends on what exact version is it. Nevermind, there are still other options how to get to that settings, just wanted to add info.

same here, doesn't work on koodo xt1032. no biggie though

Works fine on my Retail XT1032.

Has anyone tried setting it to lte only mode on the off chance it might work?

tested this key combination and it works fine here, XT1032 bought from Amazon.de (8GB version)

I don't have these apk's. I put the code but I can't open anything. Someone can share these apk´s?
I think that these is the reason that some people like me can't open the service menu.

How to force 3G Only?

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.

, 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..

Just to make sure, did you guys insert a SIM card from another provider? Anyway, there is a free app in the Play store by Tmobile for unlocking, so maybe the app is needed?

There are some threads arround (I can;t rememvber where i saw them) about how to unlock the TMOBILE Note 5 - the problem is that with the UNLOCK AP that comes form TMOBILE - there is no way to unlock with a code unless you are able to get around the App completely.
I beleive it has soemthing to do with flashing the Metro PCS Firmware - exact same firmware as TMOBILE - but it doesn't have the uNLOCK APP that comes with TMOBILE ROMS by default. Once you have installed Metro PCS firmware thru odin - you can use the unlock code to unlock your phone.
I am not 100 percent positive that is correct but I am pretty sure - there is a thread on the S6 Forum wlhere this whole unlock thing started - and several have used that same process for unlocking their TMOBILE Note 5's. Otherwise, the only way to unlock is to contact TMobile Customer Support - But better if you can find a work around like the one I mentioned.
GOOD LUCK>

Actually this function was available in Android Lollipop but was removed from marshmallow by Google.
So that's why it was not available in nougat too.
So that's why i asked if there is any any alternative to make/disable second slot.
