Go Pod settings don't persist after disconnect

I like to disable the touch controls on my go pod, but every time I put them back in the charging case, the touch controls work again and I have to go into Gaia and disable them. This also means when I connect to my pc (instead of phone) I have no way of disabling the touch controls since there's no gaia app. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Go Pods have the most recent firmware and I'm using the latest Gaia app for iOS.

Thanks!
