There are plenty of issues related to settings not "sticking" or taking effect for Baofeng 888 and derivative radios. I experienced this personally on a Radioddity GA-2S.
Changes based on serial capture of Baofeng "V12" programming software. Many thanks to Dan Clemmensen's notes on easy Linux serial capture.
