I have M5 E5606, Rev 2 single sim. I bought a month ago. Never shutdown. Battery life is about 18 hours on stamine mode. It temperature increase but not very heat. I feel the heat down left of the display like in letter "a" "s" of keyboard. I believe is because the mediatek is there.

                      And you wouldn't know the rev. Of the phone battery unless you open the back of th phone.

                      And criticaly, i have never seen an official apologize from sony for their mistaken, they just keep it low and selling it.

                      Why would you try your luck when you can see these comment we've left here?

                        Im sure your battery is draining faster than before, therefore, you would also have overheating.

                        Changing battery is just a way around, making you deceived.

                        The real problem is in the helio chipset and sony's radio control software. And there is no way to fix it unless you get another product.

                              I've had the auto shutdown problem thinking it was a software problem. Brought it back to the service center under warranty. They changed the battery to a higher capacity. The problem turned out to be the battery. It was under capacity, therefore,the auto shutdown. My unit is now doing well. The first batches of M5 had this defective batteries
