From what I know you will get better speeds with wcdma as its 3g.

There a s/w name speedtest in play store.. you can check the speed.
Depending on the area.. normal Edge goes till 30KB/s and Hsdpa will give you speed more than 1Mbps.

Which options to choose?
I kind of have a follow up question. I rarely use mobile network for data and use only wi-fi. But at those rare time that I do I wanna use the 3G network and rest the time when I have got my data off I want the phone to use the 2G network for voice and sms services. So how do I go about it? Right now I have selected " Use 2G only" and " GSM only" in the wireless and network settings.

Whichever Rom you are using.. you will find the Toggle Option.
You can place it in notification power widget.. you switch 2g-3g-2g as per your need!!

I liked this toggle idea but it seems to have only "2G" or "2G/3G" option and not just "3G" option. That one comes only when I manually select "wcdma only" option in the settings. Any ideas on how to bring up just the "3G" option right in the toggle itself?
If you are using CM.. go to cm settings.. go to the option where you enabled toggle.. at the bottom you wil find the option of managing notification widgets. Im not using cm so cant get you the exact place but search a little.. you will find it there.
Edit: CM means cyanogenMod..

Hi all, I updated my phone via kies mini to j16, now I cannot find the 2G option. I need this because I cannot make or receive calls while I'm in my basement unless I'm on 2G. Anyone having trouble finding it? Have they completely removed this?

I believe it's just be reworded. The option you're looking for is "GSM only" under Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
Give it a try.

It's J EYE 6, not J ONE 6. Anyway...
Not removed, improved IMO but not terribly user friendly I suppose.
Under "Mobile Network Settings", tap "Network Mode".
AUTO = 2G/3G
GSM Only = 2G only
WCDMA Only = 3G only
Hope it helps...
EDIT: Oops, it looks like I missed being post #2 by ~ 2 Minutes.

Hey folksI need help. Is there a way to select just the 3g bands?
Here's where I'm stuck:
Dail *#*#4636#*#*
Click phone information
Go down to preferred network type
Select 'WCDMA only '
Now what?

If you did that, you are done!
Just press the home screen and you should be set for 3g only. This screen do not have any save option. As soon you get out of the screen your settings will be saved.
If you are with AT&T, you are still on 2G anyway!
i just add the INFO code as a contact on the phone, that way i can switch between preferred 3g (gsm auto prl), forced 3g (wcdma only) and forced 2g (gsm only) at will. by dialing INFO and just touch the resolved contact.
Whats the benefit?
It's not working for me. I'll keep trying though! Thanks
Francis can you post a step by step guide on how to do this?

There is no such option (nor can I see any sense in having such option).

A noob question guyzz...
i have LWW, how can i switch 2g to 3g or vice-versa, bcs i cnt understsnd, in my network settings it says preferred selection as wcdma/gsm, gsm only, wcdma only, wat shud i do to switch as per usage !!
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
wcdma is 3g, gsm is 2g... if you want 3g whenever it's possible, select wcdma/gsm... if you want 3g only, select wcdma only (when 3g is not available, the phone won't switch to 2g and you won't be able to call)... if you want 2g only, select gsm only

hello. i have a moto g 16gb version. actually i want to use only 3g at my location. but my phone is set to preferred 3g mode which means that it uses 3g only when 3g signals are good. so there is no option of using only wcdma or 3g. also tried the phone testing app but no gain. plz solve this.
Settings>more>mobile networks>network mode and change it

Try this.
In the dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*,
choose phone information,
change WCDMA only.
Turn the radio off and on again.
This may help.
Good luck.

i have done this metod. when i choose any option there it automatically changes to gsm only mode.
So check that did you tick "Use only 2G to save battery" option in mobile network setting.
