Intermittent Dongle Connectivity

I've mentioned this issue in the past, and because the issue corrects itself, makes it hard to recreate.

Whenever I go without using the headset for a few months, and get a decent charge on it, and turn it on with emokit.

It starts working for a handful of times.

Then i noticed it gets really intermittent and drops packets, then emokit just stops receiving packets entirely.

The only way I can get it to work again, is to open up Emotiv Control Panel 2.0 ECP v1.0 doesnt seem to have any effect.

The "ECP 2.0" switches rapidly between a few states,

indicating that the battery meter isn't detected, then the wireless isn't detected, then it receives a Status: OK. it does that cycle a few times, and then after that, emokit seems to work flawlessly again.

i did have a similar issue once, where apparently the USB had been slightly bent and the plastic housing was rubbing up against a capacitor, causing it to lose its connection... but i fixed that issue, and i've seen it do this kind of thing in the past before.

its not really an issue for me, but perhaps if anyone else has a similar experience, they might try running Emotiv Control Panel 2.0 and see if it resolves it for them.
