I'm really serious about buying this phone but I am concerned about the shutting down issue...Those who experienced it, from which country are you? I am from South Africa and I would like to figure out whether i might get a faulty device here as well. I'm also looking at huawei P8 lite but i like the camera and others specs of m5. Any advice?

I bought Xperia M5 from Reliance Digital, Gurgaon. The product was a defective piece as its camera was not working and it was a manufacturing issue. So I returned the phone. I have heard so much of the M5 manufacturing defects. Will not go for another Sony product now.

My first ever sony product, and i was disappointed ! lots of bugs, the camera performance isn't good enough as i expect, it doesn't even looks like a 21 mega pixel camera. And the biggest problem, shutdown! The phone design looks nice, but not the camera and battery, hope Sony can fix it and please don't disappoint your fans.

I am victim of M5 shutdown and some buggy issues too...very disappointed with this phone as a loyal fun of Sony since classic Xperia Z,which is amazing. I visited Sony service centre but they replyed me that thinking about exchanging new M5 handset..I already know this is not the solution. How can I get refund ?or what about upgrading to Z series(Z2/Z3) with this M5 from Sony officials. Feeling sorry for all M5 users..

I am starting to lose hope it will be fix soon. I had this phone for a month. The camera feel great but it is buggy. Had at least 10 random shutdown. Worst was twice a day. I am alway on the go and at places without WiFi thus depending alot of Wcdma as it provide faster Internet service. I contacted the Sony in Singapore and waiting for their reply regarding the shutdown.
Might be forking huge cos of z5 if this issue is not fix

I purchased a Sony mobile phone model M5 on the 11th September this year. Within a week, the phone kept shutting itself down and was impossible to switched it back on unless it was connected with a charger, and battery power appeared unstable. I took it to Sony repair center on 29th September and they replaced it with a new phone.
Within a week upon using this new phone , again, the phone kept shutting itself down and was impossible to switched it back on unless it was connected with a charger. I took it back to thier repair center, and was told I have to wait 3 to 4 weeks before it can be returned to me. I found this totally unacceptable as expected from a brand new phone.
I searched online and found many people are experiencing the same problem with this model of Sony Mobile.
I have requested a full refund but was refused by Sony HK. Their company does not have a customer service to deal with my complaint and their repair center urged me to file a complaint to the Hong Kong Consumer Council.

I agree with you, the idea of returning ng the phone if the shutting down issue still occurs after the Android update. Because what's the sense of having the Lte network if it has no use with this phone. But I have still a good vibe that marshmallow will fix that. I hope if they release marshmallow sony will also release a firmware update. Fingers crossed. Good to hear your news thex!

I monitored my phone after changing the settings to GSM only as you've suggested and it works for me!! No more shutting down issue. Battery life is OK for me and heating issues not that I know of maybe after prolonged hours of videos yet but I don't often watch with my phone so no comments on that but really glad to hear that it's all good for you. I agree,guess now we will have to wait for the marshmallow upgrade which as I have read will be available for us around January 2016 and see if lte or wcdma settings will shut the phone down. For now I will just have to bear with the GSM. However if after the upgrade, with lte causing shut down I will still highly likely be returning the phone for Sony to replace it. Do you think this is a good idea?
