Bought new sony xperia m5 in mumbai on 15th of march .
Started facing auto shutdown issue same day, after going back and forth with the service centre they agreed to sort it.
On 19th Isubmitted the phone at sony service centre where thestaff doesnt have any knowledge of the phone, the technician returned the phone on monday after "updating" the phone.i told the fellow that i had updated it myself, so what had he done but he did not respond and coolly left. Phone again started auto shutdown and charging time taking upwards of 4 hrs!!
After shouting at the service centre and demanding a replacement they took me seriously and kept phone for two more days, and returned same phone regardless of company policy of replacing handset if phone has physical defects within 7 days of buying, stating battery has been changed. Now phone doesn't auto shutdown but it heats up a lot using minor apps.
Now I'm stuck with this handset and with the wisdom of never buying sony products in the future because of their cheap quality products and bad after sales service.
These multinational giants are taking the consumer too lightly. Do not play with the consumers time and money.
As for you, my wise friends, you have been warned. Avoid this phone like the plague.

My trust in sony is gone my m5 shuts down on its own i dnt know how many times a day my advice don't punish yourself by buying this phone because sony is not even willing to own up to the poor product it has provided and compensate buyers

Worse phone out. Do not buy problems. In the three months I had this phone it was in for repairs twice. Wi-Fi just stop. working. Restart phone and you get a blue screen until battery is drained.

Hey guys! Ive found a solution for random/auto shutdown problem for bullshitting m5
Ive been trying to solve the matter 3months so far as non technician, had to test few things.
It happens in certain mobile carrier in certain area.
In Australia, With telstra is fine, but with optus and vodafone was the problem when signal goes bad. And the optus and vodafone were in the same network frequency for 3g wcdma 900mhz.
For that 900mhz, even with other phones it gets overheat with bad signal i thought the frequency band is in congestion.
So i decided to turn it off the reception of the 900frequency and it turned out as working.
Ok guys here ya go the solution
Open the Dialpad
*#*#3646633#*#*
Engineermode> in the telephony tap, band mode> tick off wcdma 900 mhz> press set button.
Some said its battery problem but i dont believe them. I read the xda forum and it was irrelevant information.
Again, dont forget not to buy SONY product. Obviously they havent tested phone and did let you buy.
I will be turned back from sony forever from now. Good bye dirty doggy sony!
