Default Any ideas how to fix intermitent Bluetooth connection?

Hi Everyone,

My LG Neon phone only connects through bluetooth 1 out of 10 times. My Blackberry Bold and Curve connect everytime, even when they are in my pocket or briefcase in the back seat. Lexus service said if the LG is placed on the console or on the passenger seat they got it to connect. Of course I can't repeat it. Lexus Service claim the bluetooth is working properly.

So are there any hints to get the LG Neon to connect better? Is there a power boost or improved 'antenna' fix for the RX-400h? Maybe something else. I'd really appreciate any suggestions or insights!

Thanks
OH I have a 2008 RX-400h

I've had a LG Vu and it worked fine every time I connect with the factory bluetooth, it looks like you may need to update the firmware on your LG Neon instead. I had since
use Nokia N73i and Sony Ericsson Satio with the factory bluetooth and I have no connection issue whatsoever.

Any ideas on where to find firmware updates? Neither ATT or LG sites show anything for firmware updates.

Thanks!

For LG, I really don't know since I no longer use my Vu but for Samsung, I was able to find
new firmware for my wife's Samsung Pixon 12 from a British website and a user forum. I do remember there is a LG cell phone forum out there, I used to go on that site to learn about hacking my old LG phone.

My iPhone has worked amazingly. Better than any BT I have every used hands down. However when I did an update on the iPhone 3GS I could not get connected. After some messing around I saw that to my surprise the code is diff. it's like 1212 instead of 0000 like every other BT device. Back to beautiful clear calls that I don't have to yell.

Anyways....
