Hi my wife bought an o2 moto g pay and go yesterday. When we were playing with the one in the shop it had the option to change network mode to 2g or 3g I assume it was running 4.3
The one we bought has 4.4.2 on it and the 2g option has been removed from the menu.
We have a very poor 3g signal in the house and her old phone worked well on the 2g network hence why we bought the moto g as I thought we could select 2g mode.
Are there any ways to change to 2g or gsm.
Or would I flashed it with UK firmware will I have the 2g / 3g option back.
Any help appreciated

I bought this lg g2 D800 yesterday.
While I can run 3g data on it perfectly, it doesn't work on 2g data(edge,gprs).
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I'm using in Pakistan.
Does any one know the difference between frequencies of D800, 801,802 and 803?
i have LG G2 D801 but whenever i activate Mobile Data connection its still on Edge while 3G is available i can't use 3G what i can do pls help me its my request to all experts
thanks in advance
With the D801 you can select the network mode under Settings -> Tethering & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network mode. There should be 4 options:
GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
GSM/WCDMA auto
WCDMA only
GSM only
If both GSM and WCDMA are avalable and you are in one of the auto modes and the phone uses GSM (maybe because the WCDMA signal is weak) you can select WCDMA only.

thanks again for u r quick reply
my carrier is mobilink... im from pakistan
What frequencies does you carrier use for 3G? According to LG the D801 does 1, 2, 4 and 5, which according to Wikipedia are 2100, 1900, 1700 and 850MHz.

Another possibility is that your SIM card is only provisioned for 2G. I had that happen to me in the opposite way with H2O which only allowed access to the WCDMA network but not the GSM (before they added LTE). You may want to contact Mobilink and request a different SIM card.
can any one help me please.... any expert please help me
i insert my SIM card in my Galaxy Note in my Galaxy Note 3G working fine... but when i insert that SIM card in my LG G2 D801 3G not working please help me bro please
i will buy you a beer
It might be like ATT here in the states where you must notify the provider of the phone IMEI if you want 4g before they can provision it.
Looks like Mobilnk is uses 2100, so it should work.

4G/LTE Pakistani Band 3 1800 isnt present in D801.
So you can get 3G HSPA+ only on 2100MHz...
Check APN settings
Resolved for me
My LG G2 had same problem. Changing DNS or modifying APN not resolve it.
I found reason of problem. After several ROM update, my LG G2 IMEI may be damaged. If you see in Cellular Network → Network Operator, these’s only one record for each operator.
I did backup my imei 2 years ago, now I restore it using LG backup IMEI app. After restore my IMEI, i see two same row operator’name in Network Operator. I can connect 3G again after several months without 3G.
If you did not backup IMEI, you can folowing instructions in forums to restore IMEI. Please googling !
