Unfortunately, with the upgrade to VO 6, a new, very occasional bug was introduced that can cause VO to turn off and reset itself if a proper reset is done. I tested my iPhone and caused this bug to occur one time out of 7 power home resets.
Therefore, the best practice, and one which works 99% of the time, is to do a normal shut down followed by a normal start up, just like what you would do with your computer. How many of you press and hold the power button on your computer to turn it off and then on again?
