Is there an answer for this?

Stock Fascinate, looking to resolve a high Time Without Signal (50%). I'd like to try changing from WCDMA Preferred to CDMA Auto (PRL). I'm aware of the setting under the debug/test menu (*#4636*1111#, then under Phone information > Set preferred network type), but the setting doesn't stick.

If i leave the settings page w/ the Home button, checking the setting shows that it has changed to "Unknown" and seems to stay that way if I exit in that manner.

If I exit the page using the back button, the setting reverts to WCDMA Preferred.

Is there a way to make the setting stick?

If you have any luck figuring this out let me know! I am having similar issues with a high Time Without Signal.
