David, I have enough troubleshooting experience to have done the below as you describe. And, VO still ends up on the time. I am not being highly critical of Apple nor the phone, just stating an observation that I have duplicated many times as have several others I know who are equally careful. This has been true both in 5.1.1 and 6.0 with my 4S.
