Mine only works when it wants.
Same exact symptoms. New battery, light flashes, only works when it wants to.
Just started happening one day. It's so frustrating.

I've noticed when I park in certain areas the remote doesn't work. I always put that down to local RF Interference.
There was a mod the dealers did with the earlier 996 series to increase the range (rerouting the antenna wire up the door pillar I think). I think It was a service note (or whatever Porsche call them).
I sometimes find with RF remotes, you hold them up to your neck the range increases (using the body as an antenna).

Is iy working better now?
Referring to you earlier post on this topic, I think that you lost the program when you changed the battery. That's supposedly what happened to mine. You have to go to Porsche for the reprogram, as far as I can tell. I've learned to live with it. If people want to dis me for opening the car with the key, it's ok with me.
