Well, I've never tried forcibly rebooting the phone as you've described. I would tend to reserve that for times when the phone is completely frozen and won't power off normally. However, when powering off the phone by holding down POWER for a couple of seconds then double-tapping on "power off", the rate still hasn't changed when the phone is powered up again.
