Change to 3g or 2g At&t version - Moto X Q&A

Hi, I got my Moto X and I am using it in Argentina. I have to force the phone to use 2g in some areas because there are many networks problems, I could do that with my Droid HD but I have not got this options in my Moto x.
Is there an option for do that?

Settings -> mobile networks -> use only 2g networks
Seems to be there on mine

Turning off 4G

Several times in my week with the moto x internet will stop working despite the 4g sign being blue in the status bar. It happens in crowded areas where there is likely a lot of people connecting to a single cell tower (concert, sporting events, etc), but friends on other Verizon phones (iPhone and S4) still have service as their phone has switched them to 3g.
Is there a way to force 3g mode? In Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode there is only the option for LTE / CDMA and GSM / UMTS (which doesn't work), not CDMA only mode like there was on the Gnex. Any apps or tricks to force the switch?
Use the app LTE OnOff from the Play Store. Says it's for HTC Thunderbolt but works fine on the X.

How to enable HSPA 3G on t-mobile and ptel?

I want to select network and choose 3G for tmobile/ptel. It works great on my defy.
I am out on the edge of town where 2g and 4g reception are weak but 3g is great. Sadly the phone always either chooses 2g or 4g and is having problems getting a signal out here.
I know for a fact I have tmo/ptel 3g here. My moto defy is on it right now.
I downloaded network setting app and i do not see how to change the settings.
How can I get this Atrix HD to force 3G on t-mobile/ptel?
Do I need to root?
I use this app called Phone Info that has been removed from Google Play (it was actually only renamed, it can still be found at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo with a title in Chinese). I get 3G when I select WCDMA only.

Tmobile's "3G" and "4G" are the same, or are you referring to LTE? Look in your About Phone, what type of data connection does it say you're getting while idle and using data?
Depending what ROM you have many of the ROMs you can enable toggles for the desire network

If you use the hidden menus you can force it to stay 3g.

[Q] No 3G on unlocked Sprint HTC one M8 in Spain

I have a HTC One M8 sprint that i bought on Ebay, i have no problem to make and receive calls after i unlocked it but there is no mobile internet.
My APN Settings is correct, however i only have the option of bearer: LTE or eHRPD or Unspecified
When i search for networks on my normal phone i always get two options:
Movistar 2G
Movistar 3G
Vodafone 2G
Vodafone 3G
and the other networks here.
On the HTC that i sim unlocked i only get:
Movistar
Vodafone
Orange
There is no indication on if it is 2G or 3G.
*#*#4636#*#*
Have set it at GSM Auto PRL and restarted the phone, i have also tried all other network types without success.
Under Phone Info i get Current Network Movistar
GPRS Disconnected (Cant seem to activate that)
GSM: In Service
Network Type: Unknown
I have tried different radios, but no one has worked and they all end up with the phone entering a loop where it restarts and cant recognice the SIM card.
Mobile Network Settings:
Network mode: GSM/UMTS Only
Allow GSM Data: Ticked the box
Is there anyone who has been in the same situation and who has found a solution?
I have seen a number of posts where people say that they cant get data but calls is working, but the only resolution that people has offered is to set the GSM Auto PRL and restart the phone, that has not worked for me.
Very happy for any help that you can give!
Thanks
I am having same issue
Any solutions yet ?
Have you tried setting a GSM band from the top menu of *#*#4636#*#*?

You mean by changing bro wcdma prefered or gsm pro ?
Yes everything
Use QPST tool and allow all 3G networks to work. It unlocks all 3G networks. You are not getting UMTS signal because Sprint by default has unlocked only US 3G band (I think 1800). Hence, you need to unlock all 3G networks

Have to select LTE manually

I bought my 920I in Singapore, and it is not optimized for the networks I am on, but it is able to access LTE, however I have to manually reselect LTE in the mobile network settings every time I reset the phone. It's not that it's not fast (its actually faster than what I got on my Moto X (which was a UK model, but didn't have this issue), and 3g/HSPA+ works, it's just annoying. Anyone know of a fix?
