Manually Turn Off 4G And Enable 3G!? (Ics)

I LOVED IT! (As always, props to NITRO!)
(Background)
The location of where I work is in a terrible 4G (LTE) area. My Razr Max for some reason attempts to hang on to Verizons 4G (LTE) signal even when it is creaping slower than "dial up." It has become VERY frustrating that my phone does not notice this and switch over to the faster/stronger 3G (CDMA) signal for the time being.
Seeking an answer, I realized that in Gingerbread I could manually configure my phone to completely turn off its 4G (LTE) connection and rely only on the faster/stronger 3G (CDMA) signal that it was receiving at that time. I was even able to download from the market the "4G Toggle Switch." I would just enable that "4G Toggle Switch," and boom, my phone would turn off its 4G (LTE) capability and would rely on the faster/stronger 3G (CDMA) connection that I was receiving at that time.
(Today)
Now that I am on ICS and I use the "4G Toggle Switch" it launches my network connections, but there is no option to manually turn off 4G (LTE) and maintain any faster/stronger 3G (CDMA) connection that it is receiving!? This really frustrates me as when I am at work (no wi-fi available) I am forced to sit on the lousy 4G (LTE) connection.
Any help or ideas of a solution would be great!!!
Thanks!!!

settings> wireless and networks> mobile networks> network mode> CDMA only.
When I do that I only am seeing these 3 options to choose.
Global
LTE/CDMA
GSM/UMTS
Am I missing something?

That option was disabled in ICS. In order to set to cdma only, download LTE On/Off from the play store. Then open it and In the menu select cdma auto prl and it will stay on 3gWhen I do that I only am seeing these 3 options to choose.

wow after reading this post,I went to the settings and for some reason my preferred network mode was set to Global instead of LTE /CDMA.
