    AnonD-42603, 28 Nov 2015Thanks, actually I went to the sony store in SM megamall, but yeah it is really hard to trust ... moreI love my M5, quality and function is on expectation, nice look and thoigh, but don't compare to LG G4 because G4 is perfect phone, IOS + WIFI Dual AC + infrared for remote control, I wish I had that if have more money haha.

Try pressing the volume up and power button at once until the phone vibrates. It will reset the phone. The guy at the sony service center told me that i should let at least 5 full charging cycles, meaning, the phone must reach until 30% then have it full charged (don't) use it while charging. Do it at least 5 times. This procedure conditions new battery. I haven't experienced the same issue after that.

          Bought m5 2 days ago, the rear camera auto focus is not working. Front camera was working perfectly fine though. The phone got heated up easily, the battery life is not that good. The pros: awesome design, great build quality, great sound, great display.

          So I brought it back to the store and ask for a replacement. Sadly, they don't have any m5 in stock at that moment. So I was going to downgrade to c5 but the store won't give me refund for my money. So I ended up paying more and exchange it with galaxy a8.

                            Mine also have the same issue, suddenly shut down and I have to connect the charger in order to turn it on, lagging and heating problem. But after I done the hard reset method, it works..!! Been using it for 3 weeks after the hard reset and so far no problem. Just follow the steps in the link. http://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-m5-e5653/
                            # third method - Install PC companion (Sony) then reinstall the firmware.

                            Good luck!!

Not reliable at all for a phone. Heading to Sony Philippines soon for this issue. And also, this keeps on overheating, auto focus won't focus on the "touched" area often even on manual settings, and battery doesn't even last a day as put in the specs. Bummer.

                                  just bought sony m5 dual about a month..Screen freezing with tiny lines and turned off. Then keep restarting and temperature of phone increase. Same things happened and repeated. Will go to sony service centre soon. Really regret buying sony and never ever buy this brand again. So regret. For the first time in my life feeling this bad after bought a handphone. Please buy another brand my friends.

I wish they had a money back guarantee even for just a week. Maybe I will just have wait for mate 8 or just consider LG G4 instead?
