AnonD-292864, 17 Feb 2016Shutdown issue is about battery. The phone thinks battery hit 0% and it shuts down.If the phone thinks the battery is flat,
It shouldnt turn off suddenly without any message.
But it does. Because the software can't think properly.

I hope Sony makes the M6 relatively cheaper than the M5. ALMOST same price as m4 at launch will be excellent.
Hope the m6 comes with sd650 and 2 GB RAM and 16GB storage with otg support
There should be another version with 3GB ram and 32GB storage.
I hope Sony will have 2 versions of the device.
I am looking forward to buy a new m serious device without problems like in m4 and m5.

For those hesitating about buying M5 please read.
Some while ago when previous phone began to die, and I'd looked for replacement, the new brand Xperia M5 phone catch my attention. According to specs and reviews it includes the vast majority of features I'd interesting. Well, Nexus began to die when I was abroad, then decided to purchase the device there. So I did.
After a short while I figured out a lot of malfunctions. Till then I never faced so prune of bugs phone software. Up to the time I'd faced most of them, the phone forums (such as XDA-developers or this one) began to steam about the device as well. Too late. After endless attempt to get rid from most of them finally I opened request to Sony support center about the most critical issue - occasional shutdown due to network status. Passed couple of days and I got an answer. Yes, they aware about the problem. No, they do not accept word wide warranty (why?). Please call to local Sony support in your country. So I did. My conversation with the local support delivered me an amazing and unexpected experience - the most violent, unprofessional and rude response to a customer I ever get from any company. And the final answer was, that local Sony service is not familiar with my model and will not fix it, nevermind for payment or by warranty.
Then, my personal conclusion: Sony products? Never again.

So, I was having the same turn off problem. It suddenly turned off and had to connect to turn back on. I went into developer options under settings and took away every system screen transitioning effect. Now it runs faster, overheats less and never turns off. Apparently the cpu can't handle all the transitioning effects of the xperia lollipop interface.

Same spontaneous shut down problems as reported by others but NOT on lte - only on gsm. Phone will only 're-start when plugged in.
So-called service centre here in Tripoli Libya hasn't a clue and will not replace.
Don't buy ANY Sony phone - EVER!
