Stuck on 3G after JB update and using Phone info app

Basically I am unable to log into LTE after using the Phone Info app to force a 3g connection. On ICS I was able to switch back between LTE and 3G without a problem. With JB the phone is stuck on 3G and won't go back to LTE.

I did a 'google search' and found others with the same issue here: Stuck on 3G after Jelly Bean upgrade! - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com


One fix (for other versions of the S3) seems to be going into settings/more settings/mobile networks/ and choosing LTE directly from there. Unfortunately this option is not available on the Metro version of the S3.

So what are my options? Is a factory reset the only way?
 
Try this: Download the app anycut then go to IOTHiddenMenu then from there try LTE Mode Menu then enable lte mode
 
Ok, I've restored access to LTE by doing a factory reset. As you can imagine, it was definitely kind of a pain. For now I'm going to uninstall the 'phone info' app, and I recommend that everyone else on an S3 with JB do the same.

We'll have to find some other way of enabling 3G and 4G, I suppose.
 
Well, I'd say about 95% of us won't being doing anything to get us throttled on FoGee! and Need to purposely go to 3G...

I just tried Quickshortcut and it worked great. I was able to create a network toggle shortcut that works with JB. Thank you!
