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
(it's in ics menu, don't know about kitkat)

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.

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?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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 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.

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, today I followed a guide that was supposed to disable fast dormancy but instead it disabled HSPA+ completely. The method was the on where you dialed *#192328640# and then after a few options you Released R99 which turns HSPA off. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to turn it back on! I've tried every option in the menu but still no luck,
Any help?
Thanks

First enter service menu via secret code
*#197328640#
In the menu, choose the following items sequentially:
1 (debug screen)
8 (phone control)
3 (nas control)
5 (rcc HSPA control)
And then you will find the well known menu to change the HSDPA settings, as on Galaxy S and SII.

that menu works weirdly,
1 - deactivate the data connection
2 - when you are in the option rcc HSPA control release 6 , press the both options like a crazy... lol, then keep pressed the first option and then the second one (it's obvious... I am not sure how that menu works xD)
3 - In the normal configuration menu, in the menu where you can change between GSM,WCDMA, select GSM, then WCDMA and at least GSM/WCDMA (automatic mode) <- the default option.
4 - reboot
That is how I get back H+
I am pretty sure this is not related to the modem version or the fast dormancy thing...

Ur H+ thing depends on your network/signal. Call ur network provider

I know, I had H+ two days ago but when I tried the procedure stated in the OP it was gone! I can't seem to make it appear again, only 3g.
Well.. i suggest (if the H+ is really important to you) to flash back to a stock firmware and do a factory reset
I hope this helps

use the toggle on status bar to switch to only 3g mod in cm9
or dial in phone *#*#4636#*#* go to phone info and switch to whatever network type you want or like fd said go to settings > more > mobile network > network mode and choose wcdma only

@OP: I think you can just leave "Use only 2G networks unchecked" and you should be good to go. But I might be wrong
I have it on p-one that is miui on cm9.
3g preferred, 2g only, 3g only.
I remember also cm9 has it but maybe I'm wrong.
Usually I switch between 2g and 3gpreferred, never used 3g only.
if your rom doesn't have network mode you can use that code or the toggle from statusbar any method have the same result

There isn't even a "Network" option under "more". The closest thing to "network" that is there is "mobile networks" and even under that there is no "network mode" option.

Lol ok...I am using the KIw-L24 and cyanogen 13 Os...But in the option where i choose what network to register to they are two options...either the network chooses automatically or i choose manually...and i preferably use the setting where i use manually but it still reverts back to being chosen automatically by the network... Mostly the network chooses 2G speeds for me when I'd rather a minimum of 3G...Do you get me now????
