    Hey DK!


    Thanks for the solution. Greater alternative than deactivating lte or 3g and use gsm just to avoid shut down.. Thanks man!! Hey do you think marshmallow will fix the issue?

      Ron, 31 Mar 2016Sony M5 Dual has below 2 issues : 1: Automatically shuts down and will not start until connec... moreYes auto shut.down is a bug. But the 2nd issue about notification is not. Wifi is still there when you lock the screen bit notification will be blocked to save up battery. When you turned on stamina mode it ia activated but you can turn it off manually in settings. So Even if you lock the screen you can stillreceive notification. Try to read the manual before you post

            Update for my solution.

            I just got to south korea

            My phone turned off

            This time was because of 4g lte.

            Those who have shutting down problem on lte, follow my instructions and

            Tick off lte band 8 aswell.

            Cheers. Dk

                  Xperia m5 is a very nice phone, you'll get everything you need.I got disappointed 3 times at first, I received 2 defective phones which has a version 1 battery which is causing the auto-shutdown at places where LTE and 3G signal is low. It won't start unless you connect it with a charger/ powerbank. Most M5 units have this problem, don't replace it unless there is a green circular sticker on the box, it means the phone has a version 3 battery which will not trigger the auto-shutdown. In my case I went to Sony Centre and changed my battery to version 3 at no cost, now it works perfectly

                            Sony M5 Dual has below 2 issues :
                            1: Automatically shuts down and will not start until connected to a charger... it is getting me crazy... If anyone has a solution for this then please post...
                            2: If you lock the screen, the WI-FI stops working then unlock the screen and it starts working. that means you will not get any whatsapp msgs, emails when the phone is locked.
                            It is a cheap phone at a price range of Rs. 30,000
