akki, 15 Nov 2015confused between m5 n z3+....which one should i buy?.....are the problems of m5 solved?You should definitely not buy a M5. Sony should recall the M5 and at least give us a opportunity to upgrade to a new model. Shame on Sony.

As for the unexpected shutdown problems, it may exist with the new unit as well. Unless, you can convince them to let you get a new phone. I'd buy another model altogether.

                The phone developed auto on/off problem right from the second day. the set was replaced by the customer care with a new one and within another two the same problem arose. Curious. the back side pasting is also coming off. Frustrating!

                  [deleted post]This phone will shutdown if you lost network signal for a long time. I have experienced this when in flight and forgot to set the phone into flight mode. On arrival, i cant swith it on. I have to plug it in my power bank before it switch on. This phone is not convinient for travelling. It might shutdown and it wont switch on with plugging into power source.

                      i recently bought this sony m5. the sales person gave me the unit and i told him that the camera was not working. he went to the service center for a while and said that the phone needed to have some system update. when he got back, he told me that the phone os now ok and good to go. i walked out the store after few minutes, i checked if i can take a picture but it has this "error" message showing when you click on the camera . i went back to the store and ask the sales person why it happened he said that there's a problem with the unit and they will just replace it with a new one. he gave me a new unit. the camera was working . he told me something i didnt understand at first about putting the charger / plug when phone shuts off. i didnt mind it at first coz i didnt understand what he mean. then the next day, suddenly the phone shuts off. i was in the road, going to work and i was shocked my phone wouldnt turn on. i thought i dont have enough battery but my phone was fully charge when i lefty an hour ago. i saw a chargingf station and plugged it in. it immediately turned on. i was upset that the phone needed to be plugged in to a charger so you can use it again. what if its emergency and we dont have power banks available. its so frustrating! im still trying it on its 3rd day hoping not to experirence any problems. what do u suggest? do i need to go back to the store and get a different unit or phone? any suggestions pls?

                                      Hi! I am from Indonesia .. I'm really interested in this phone and want to buy it because the spec of this phone is all that I wanted .. but after reading the reviews I was so scared to buy this phone .. and I had a bad experience with a Sony service center Indonesia when fixing my Z2 which fell and the glass broke.. i want a recommendation is there any other phone that had spec similar like this phone or should i just buy this phone with a risk that it will had problems when i just buy it? Thank you guys..
