iPhone 4S Bug Silencing Outgoing Calls Draining Device's Battery life?

Apple has confirmed that a number of bugs originating from the new iOS 5 in the iPhone 4S are draining the device's battery life.

Among the several bugs found in Apple's newest operating system, one in particular is receiving a good amount of media scrutiny: a bug silencing outgoing calls.

Several users have notified they are encountering a muted iPhone ear piece while performing outgoing calls; and with no immediate solution on how to re-activate or annul it on hand they have resorted to quick-fix solutions such as plugging and then unplugging earphones, activating and deactivating the speakerphone or running Siri in order to work their way around the problem temporarily.
