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...

I presume *#*#4686#*#* still works, but I would like to know if there are others.
For Samsung devices, you can see the voice codec used during a call by using *#0011, but I found no such capability with the Nexus line.
Specifically, I would like to know the Pixel is using AMR:WB (AT&T HD Voice) or EVS:WB (T-Mobile Enhanced Voice Service).
Thanks.

Thanks, though that dev menu thing has been around since almost the beginning of time [Android] and it does not provide for what is in scope. For most of us who root, the dev menu is one of the first things we do.
No worries. But as you posted a thread asking for hidden menus, it seemed only polite to supply an answer...
Hadn't bothered looking at your forum hierarchy status until just now...

*#*#3282#*#* gets you data services, you can turn on/off LTE bands and other junk. you need MSL code to do anything if you're on a CDMA network.
also i tried your *#*#4686#*#* and it didn't do anything, did you mean *#*#4636#*#*?

*#*#3282#*#* does not work for me but *#*#4636#*#* does. Is it because I have the Verizon variant?
Yeah, 3282 is most definitely a sprint thing
I can confirm that *#*#4636#*#* still works on Pixel 2 XL.

Trying to test the feature before I go overseas. Wifi calling is enabled, HD voice/advanced calling enabled. When I check the hidden menu in *#*#4636#*#* everything is checked.
I turn on airplane mode and enable wifi. When I try to make a call, the dialer says "turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call". I am connected to Wifi though and signal strength is solid. What is the problem?
You rooted? Don't know if that really matters but, I had use adb to edit the settings database. I never could get it to work till I did that. No root needed. Just Google wifi calling preferred ADB.

2 settings need to be changed I forgot but I think one is to prefer wifi and the other is to make wifi the preferred roaming method.

I am aware of that guide for ADB. However that is for preferred WiFi calling when both cellular and WiFi are available. It shouldn't help when I'm in airplane mode.

Had same problem with Verizon Wifi calling, fixed it
I had the same problem on my OG 2016 Pixel (rooted) running stock 7.1.2 ROM on VZW, but now fixed - here are the steps:
1. Open Testing Menu (dial *#*#4636#*#* on dialpad).
2. tap the "Phone information" menu.
3. Toggle on the "VoLTE Provisioned" slider (this was toggled off by default on mine). (Also make sure "Wifi Calling Provisioned" is toggled on.)
4. Using the Quicksettings dropdown menu, toggle Airplane Mode.
5. IMPORTANT NOTE - When I tried the 1st time it didn't work because entering Airplane Mode greyed out Wifi icon and disabled all Wifi connections (and data icon showed "no service"), even though Wifi was previously toggled on.
6. To remedy this, drop down your Quicksettings menu again and simply touch the Wifi connections shortcut, wait a couple seconds and all Wifi connections will repopulate, and default Wifi connection should re-connect.
7. Now hit the back button to the Quicksettings dropdown menu, wait another couple seconds and the data icon should change to "Verizon Wireless Wi-Fi Calling" - Wifi calling should now work

I appreciate the suggestion. I had tried toggling all those options previously but I did it again per your instructions. It did not work.
My quicksettings text goes from "Verizon Wireless" to "Airplane mode" when it is enabled. Then when I put WiFi back on it goes BLANK. It does not say "Verizon Wireless WiFi Calling" like yours did. Any ideas?
I don't understand. I have a cellular signal and my wifi calling just stays on. All I did was change 2 values in the Database.

I guess I never caught that fact. Mine doesn't stay on all the time. But, as soon as I walk in my house it pops on. My wife has an S7 and I can't get hers to work unless I turn the cellular off. Evidently Samsung does not have the same settings database.

Perhaps a local router misconfiguration?

I've heard that a local Wi-Fi router mis-configuration may be the reason Wi-fi calling fails in some instances.
I would test it out on a different router, or have someone with a known good Wi-fi calling phone setup test on your router to eliminate that possibility.
I've also heard that Wi-fi calling breaks when upgrading to Oreo for some folks. Curious what Android version you're running?

It will work on pixels if the carrier has wifi calling and your provisioned for it. The menus are different on other phones.

It's not provisioned for VOLTE so wifi calling won't work. If you talk real nice to someone at customer service they might do it for you.

I ran into the same issue, possibly after Magisk install on custom RR Rom (Marlin/Latest April Oreo build). It had worked one time but I guess installing Magisk was the most recent change I could think of after which it stopped working with the error message reported by OP. Anyways the only thing that worked was to do a "Network Setting Reset" , then setup Wifi (Airplane mode on) again and Wifi Calling settings back to On with Wi-Fi preferred.
Note: Also in "Mobile Network" in Settings, need to ensure "Roaming/Connect to data services when roaming" option is selected for the "Wifi Preferred" option to stick.

Hello Guys,
There used to be a 'Wi-Fi calling' feature present in SETTINGS >> NETWORK & INTERNET >> MOBILE INTERNET.
I've extensively used this feature during my international travels. However, I've discovered that the said feature is no longer available in the phone.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
PS: There's a new option 'Enhanced 4G LTE mode' available in the same location however. That option isn't a Wi-Fi calling feature as many have told me.

I purchased a Global version 1+7P (GM1917) directly from OnePlus. Then I signed up for T-Mobile service.
I am having problems with calls coming in over Wi-Fi. However, in Settings under Wi-Fi & internet, there is no Wi-Fi calling entry, so I cannot find how to turn off Wi-Fi calling.
Is there another method for turning it off? A package I can disable? (I have root.)

either install the new onepluslogkit app and *#800# into oneplus logkit/function switch/volte+vowifi switches on
This option will allow you to turn on/off as above. but in sim settings/ Sim1/Enhanced Communications
Or *#*#4636#*#* and turn off provisioning for volte/vowifi.

This may all be my misconstruing the problem. After turning off wifi call, I tried calling my wife (which was where I notice the problem), and we still couldn't hear each other. Yet when I call voicemail, I can hear it and I can change my announcement which shows that the phone does work both ways. Therefore, now I'm thinking that wifi calling was not the issue, and the fault is somewhere with t-mobile. The mystery continues.
The mystery deepens. Using Google Hangouts Dialer (which goes over wifi), calling my wife fails (nothing heard either way), but calling voicemail, again, works just fine. I just don't get it.

Thanks for this thread. I knew I saw that somewhere but forgot to check the SIM menu.
Why isn't it in settings search when even dev options are?
Why does TMO lie and way it is in the same spot as most phones, in their article specifically about the OP7p?
My issue in on a WiFi call, sometimes I can't hear them (but they can hear me), sometime from the call start other times mid-call, and turning off WiFi fixes it. I have 1000mb fiber and no other network issues. Too bad it doesn't work. Thanks for helping me disable it.
