I searched around a bit and didn't see anything like this previously posted, so i figured i'd put it out there.
Since updating, i have noticed that i am having A LOT of "Failed to Connect" when trying to place a phone call...yesterday, in an area with full reception bars, i had a number fail 8 times within 30sec. Other times it has done it 2-3 times and then connects...most commonly it does it once, and then connects on the second attempt.
Each time it does this, it never actually attempts to connect, it flips to the "failed to connect" with the options to try again or cancel immediately after attempting the call. When you press the green call again button, it just instantly returns back to the same failed to call screen again with the same options.
This has happened in many areas too...not just one. Each time the bars are 3 or higher in places that i have not had issue with connection before.
Add to this that when it fails more than twice, sometimes Siri automatically activates as if I'm trying to ask her a question (but at no time was the home button held down, and the phone was not near my ear to initiate that connection either). It does this maybe 5-10% of the time these connection failures occur.
I haven't done much research online about this, but i have tried a fresh restore and I'm still having the issue.
Any ideas? I've already made an appointment to take it into Apple, but until then, i thought id poke around to see if there is any wide spread reporting of this.
