If you're using the 8300 there is no older OS to downgrade to. The OS that didn't have the problem was 4.2.0 and there is no 4.2.0 for the 8300.

The Pearl can be downgraded to 4.2.0.

Where did you come up with the idea to open up the puck and "short" the battery connection?

Your connection with Intelligolf could be related to the Bluetooth Stack issue in 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 OS's.
