Hi Michael,
I have not heard of this happening after upgrading to iOS 6.
The two things I can suggest you try are either A) or B) below.
A) Try a Reset:
1. Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the
device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
2. Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may
need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it
does, just keep holding it.
3. Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
4. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
This normally fixes any glitches
OR
B) If you have been backing up your iPhone in iTunes, Restore iPhone from Backup
How to Restore from a Backup:
1. Connect iPhone to the computer you normally sync with
2. Control-Click your iPhone and choose "Restore from Backup"
Cheers,
Ronni
