Has Sony done any action with the issue? I really want this phone but was disappointed with the reviews. It seems that the majority who's using this encountered problems. Can somebody recommend a phone that is in the same league with M5? I dont wanna waste money with that kind of performance. Thanks.

if your Sony Xperia m5 is auto shut off and cannot turn back. You should press Power and Camera buttons at the same time then it will turn on back!

Love my phone and had it for about 2 weeks but now I am experiencing the shut down issue and the microphone won't work after sending a voice not in WhatsApp until the phone is restarted. I'm very scared because yes an update will help but by the time the 6.0 update is made for the m5 and I live in South Africa so it could take extremely long. I'm planning to phone Sony somehow and fund out why it does this and request a replacement because I cannot carry around a power bank or charger everywhere I go! Amazing phone but unacceptable

I'm having the shutdown problem and I'm reading the posts and says that the problem is solve in the third batch.
Is that true? How do I know the batch in my m5? When will be the android marshmallow?

If you have the money than I might consider getting z5. I manage to get a refund for my m5 to buy a z5.

Even my M5 is having the same problem , it is not connected to either 4G or 3G. Works on 2G that too very less time & the network goes off, pls suggest the setting option of 4G.

Bad phone! My bf's bought one and after 9 days it kept shutting down, he had to connect it to a charger to turn on again, took him a lot of trouble to get a replacement, but the replacement is worse, in just 5 days the same thing happened. The sony outlet manager said his first phone was from the second batch, the replacement from the third and admitted that the phone is defective,but now he isn't anwering his calls nor replies to his texts... I don't know which is worse, the phone or th manager. Both of them malfunctioning. Lol! It is in the contract though that units will be replaced only with the same model, then it means that even if it is replaced again he will be experiencing the same inconvenience over and over. Why don't they just recall that model?

Hello guys!
I FOUND A SOLUTION FOR 4G SHUTTING OFF!
I live in Russia and my wife also faced such a problem with selfshutting if using 4g. We found that it happens when types of connection changes (4g to EDGE or EDGE to H+ or 4G to H+ etc).
We bought this phone for about 500$ so it is strange to use only EDGE.
I was looking for a solution and found that one mobile operator has no problem in M5 with 4G. It is MTS.
I found that it happens because different mobile operators work in different LTE MHz range.
- Megafon - 2530-2540 / 2650-2660
2575-2595
THIS IS THE WORST CHOICE. THE M5 SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME THE SIGNAL CHANGES WITH MEGAFON SIM!!!
- Beeline (Vympelkom) - 2550-2560 / 2670-2680
M5 shuts of also but it happens less than with Megafon.
- MTS - 2540-2550 / 2660-2670
2595-2615
NO PROBLEM WITH 4G (LTE). NEVER SHUTS OFF.
Now it is more than 2 month with new sim and we haven't faced with shutting off problem yet!
I don't know if it helps you in your country but some people wrote that had no problems and their friends too but other countries did have problems.
Try different mobile operators! Wrtie down your reviews! Guys from SONY can't help, shame on them!
