Since there is a bug in .587 we cant set only 2G because at reboot it's overwritten by system defaults. Changing radio bands will solve this problem.
1. Dial *#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*)
2. Go to 'Phone information'
3. Press menu and select 'Change radio band'
4. Then select AUS2
The phone wont get 3G because other frequency bands.
PS: It works in EU countries 100%. Idk about other regions.

Hello, this should be interesting but can you give us more informations ?
For example this fix forces the phone only to gms even at reboot ?
Does it affects reception or something else?
thanks
This forces ('restrict') the reception only to 2G bands (GSM)... we are not able to get 3g, until we select the Automatic or EUR band in the info menu... It doesnt change on reboot. Its like limiting the frequencies.

Thanks you, at the moment I'm on .431 but in that menu I don't find "change radio band" or ASU2, but only the mode ... gsm only, wcdma only, unknow, Cdma auto(PRL) and others like these.
Nothing about an ASU2 setting (I'm in EU, Italy)
Maybe is this only in 0.587 firmware?
Tap on menu button on info about phone screen

Now I'm on .587 and there is no choice for "AS2U" in phone information, you can only set the type, but of course even here if I set gsm only turns back to wcdma preferred at reboot. Have you got a Sony?
Because in our menu there is no possibility to choiche "oem phone settings", while in Samsung in the same menu maybe yes.

Ok, so I found it and seems to work !
I haven't a way to test the network mode, because my sim doens't allow it, but the signal is very strong so I am not in WCDMA.
In settings the phone will show always wcdma preferred also at reboot, but really you are in gsm.
Probably the bug this time is in the baseband so no easily fixable by xda developers, but your way is a very nice workaround!
Good work man ! :good:

Hello people!
I just got my new RAZR, in Spain it has just been released with Movistar carrier.
Well... The thing is 3G network in Spain is terrible, there is very bad signal even living in the city center.
I can notice that the RAZR's receiver is not as good as other phones, for instance Xperia Play (which hardware is one of the best I have ever seen, sound, camera, signal, and screen are great, not CPU and GPU lol), which got much better wifi and phone signal, but that is not the question.
I can't choose only 2G connection in settings/wireless connections/mobile network/select network it only appears "only 3G (better performance) and "Automatic default", and the signal is always changing between "H" , "3G" and "U" ...
I just want it to connect to GPRS or however it's called, just as I did with my iPhone 3GS which i could turn off 3G and turn on whenever I wanted
Is there any widget, toggle or something yo change between 2G and 3G?
Sorry for my language
No widgets, no apps and no solution?
Extended controls did not work, it just shortcutted to the "mobile network" menu...
EDIT:
Motorola Support confirms in the unlocked factory version exists "Only 2G" option in network settings...
Must be a Movistar customization setting...
¿Does anyone know how to install factory rom?
try typing *#*#4636#*#* and you should be able to choose 2g network

Or to make it slightly easier, you can download the phone info app from the market and select from a drop down menu

yesterday,i set the gsm/umts band to [usa band]
then,l lost any 3g signal or 2g signal

but i the test mode,i just got the usa band to choose
i have reflash the rom again,but it doesn't get any better
how can i do???
Contact your carrier to setup the apn, the screen shot is for canada, telus. Make sure that the fields are properly competed.
System settings - more.. (under data) - access points.

Where did you do "this?"
In the hidden phone menu, I assume?

Hi,
Guys I am from Pakistan and using Galaxy S3 I9300 International Version. Recently, all telecom operators of Pakistan have switch their networks to 3G. Nowadays, they are testing 3G services in some areas of major cities. They have told their customers to set their mobile settings to WCDMA for 3G services.
After setting to WCDMA, I receive 3G services without any issue but as soon as I leave the coverage area 3G plus Cellular Services switched off.
I change the settings to Auto GSM/WCDMA, but after that even in 3G coverage area I get Edge Services and not 3G.
Q) Is there any way, by which I can configure the option of Auto WCDMA/GSM with WCDMA Preferred ?
Anyone who can help out . . . . . !

Guys, i finally found solution for our Moto G network data issue,
Previously i was using Xperia C where i can select 2g(GSM), 3G( WCDMA) , 3G+2G option.
But in our Moto G - 2G, 3G+2G option is there but complete 3G (WCDMA) is missing this means
If we select 3G, our phone will Select 2G when our phone finds full 2G network, it will switch to 3G only when it finds full network
"Network" yup this is solution
Network app just download this from play store and enjoy complete full
3G support :good:

After getting into engineering mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* And changing the preferred network to LTE only. It stays in 4g for a minute and changes itself back to 3g. Is there any way to force the LTE mode.
I guess it must be one of the ****ty work done by Oppo in the name of enhancing network experience.
There is a solution for you
1.Atfirst clear all your recent apps
2.Open the settings and mobile networks then tap on prefer network type.tapping on that it will show you the network types.keep that page and tap the home button
3.go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and select lte only..
Some conditions works here... engineering mode doesn't work if the settings app not running in background....after selecting the lte only in engineering mode then go to settings in that page of network mode,you can see all the three options will be unselected..It is not so easy as you think...many t&c applied here
Its works like charm
I wanna tell you one thing.
Man you are a fcking legend.
Just got my Realme 5 pro and *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work even if the settings is running in the background. I just want to lock it on lte or lock the frequency band to lowest frequency available here in the Philippines so I can play without lag even inside our house (more like a cave). I was able to do it on my previous phones so I'm kinda starting to get disappointed with this phone.
