I downloaded the thunderbolt on/off switch because I dont live in a 4G area. It worked great, but, when I am in a 4G area i would like to use it. Does anyone know what the radio is originally set to in that app so I can set it back to original?

It tells you when you launch it. I believe it's LTE/CDMA/PRL auto or something like that

It's LTE/CDMA/EvDo. I just looked that up. I usually forget, so instead of using the Widgetsoid switcher, I'll go settings>mobile networks>Network Mode...that brings up the Global, LTE/CDMA, GSM/UMTS selections, just to be sure.
 
If you turn your phone of and back on, it will put you back where factory had it set. On the app, there is a pop up box when you open it that tells you where to set it. I don't click the box, don't show again, so i can see what to select each time.

Ok I did what the pop up screen says and now I have no data connection. If I do a factory reset will it fo back to original? I was planning to do one anyway because I didnt do it before the ICS upgrade.

Read above, turn your phone off, then turn it on, it should go back to original..

Ok I turned it off and on, it didnt change it. I also did a hard reset and that didnt change it either, any ideas?

When you say hard reset, do you mean a factory data reset? Go to Settings --> Privacy --> Factory Data Reset.
 
Or download Power Controls from Painless Death. You can put both 3G and 4G toggles on it. It works great.
 
Power controls does not seem to activate 3g...not the way LTE switch does...

Yeah tried it again...power controls definitely does not toggle 3g on the way LTE on off does for me....I like power controls fine but 3g 4g definitely does not work on my phone.

That's so weird, works great for me when I toggle between Wifi, 3G and 4G.

Now Power Controls is not letting me switch to 4g, only to Wifi or 3g. Total bummer. Is this happening for anyone else? Using the lte switch app works, but would prefer to be able to use the 4g toggle on Power Controls, which I'm pretty sure I used pre-ICS.
