PVP doesn't start

Device: iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.1
Problem: When I try to do 2v2 PVP and it takes a long time to start (because there are not enough people on these servers *cough cough*), when it finally does start the app does not start my PVP match. My partner goes in with me but it does not start on my phone so I cannot command. This also leads to me losing extra points (-36 or -45) which is a HUGE pain as it takes me forever to make up that kind of ground at +2 for every win.

Just wanted to update this and say this is still happening after update.

Ya we muku and I played a couple rounds of 2v2 paired up and we spent a good 5-10 minutes searching for a match... kinda ridiculous

While I agree it's ridiculous--not exactly what I mean on this post lol. Half the time after I spend that time waiting, when it finally starts PVP it doesn't start for me only my partner. That means I lose 45 PVP points which is SO obnoxious.

Adding more detail to this:

If I exit the room and reenter every 3 minutes or so then this error will not happen. However, if I forget to leave and return this still happens. I know it has happened when I go into the room and me and my partner are still there. I try to hit the x and nothing happens. It won't let me leave the room. At that point I know that my monsters and partner are in battle but I am not there to command and I will lose 45 points. Given that I only gain 2 points per win 90% of the time and it takes 10-15 minutes to find a match every time, when this happens I lose like 3 hours worth of PVP wins. Would REALLY like a response support.

If your game is flawed and doesn't allow me to play I shouldn't lose triple the normal points. At least let me only lose the normal amount or win the normal amount if my team wins anyway.
