I have this phone, and frankly, it's extremely disappointing. I purchased this phone from Expansys, and in the month I've had it, I've had to repair it using the PC companion program on my PC no less than twice a week. It dies when I make calls, or receive them. Switching it over to GSM makes no difference. I'll be sending the phone back for repair as soon as I can. I really hope the vendor will just give me my money back. But I doubt it.

Besides the shutdown issue this is an awesome phone five stars for the camera.

DMS1104, 20 Nov 2015Set your Network connection for both sim cards to GSM only.. Settings > Data Usage > ... moreI only have one sim-card in the phone and the setting is GSM but the phone still shuts down. I got the phone last week Thursday, it fell Sunday morning and then it started shutting down on Monday morning. I initially thought it could've been due to the fall but after reading comments on this site it seems that's not the case. Now I'm worried they may not take the handset back because it has little chip on the side due to the fall.

AnonD-456605, 27 Nov 2015try it yourself
why do you believe whatever it's written
and by the way as in Sony website :... morein the official site, it does state that "Sony devices that are tested for their waterproof abilities are placed gently inside a container filled with tap water and lowered to a depth of 1.5 metres. After 30 minutes in the container, the device is gently taken out and its functions and features are tested."
It also clearly state "Just make sure you donÂ’t submerge your device in bath water and you wash off those soap suds when you're done."
"There are other ways to take advantage of your Sony deviceÂ’s water and dust protection. You can use the device in the following scenarios:
When your fingers are wet.
In dusty environments, such as a windy beach or when hiking along a dusty trail. Just make sure you wash off all the dust on your device using water from the tap afterwards.
Taking photos and movies in wet surroundings. Remember not to use the device underwater. If you accidentally get the device wet with non-fresh water, wash the device with tap water."
My conclusion is, Sony's waterproof-ness is only tap water -proof ( edit: actually, the official site states the waterproofness is only applied to fresh water)
P.S. you can buy waterproof container for phones.. or make it... plastic and zipper

I sent in my M5 to Sony Service Center and it took about a month to change the main board plus some other stuffs. It feels like new phone when they returned it. Most importantly, it resolved the serious shutdown, reboot, hang, system bricked and overheat that i faced when i bought it in around Sept. I've been using it almost a week now and it works perfectly without a hang or reboot. I'm not a gamer for mobile phone, however, i did try install a game called "Sky Force 2014", while playing the game, the phone got very hot, but it would still running smoothly, but i guess the other phone will experience the same too. In general, using any apps like Facebook, Evernote and etc, the heat is minimal for me. Overall, the issues got fixed and until now, i'm still happy with it even though i was very angry in the first month when i bought it. I'm from Penang Malaysia.

Overheating is a common issue on Xperia devices. Bcz as we all the water resistance technology can't allow air inside the device so basically it's getting heat. But I think it's won't be not that much. Hope firmware update will reduce the overheating problem.

I've been using it for 2 days and also a 2nd batch user the issue about overheating well I guess it's normal but I doubt because using simple apps like facebook or instagram the phone gets hot easily but I do more review and in overall the phone is good

Sadly after 1mth with my m5,i trade it off n bought a 1+2,was so frustated with the sd card unmounting itself n photos taken cudnt be saved,even after taking out sd card n reboot,the m5 had problem to read its internal memory n thats the last straw,i dont hv any overheating isu n battery superb with 2-3dy on stamina mode,if u guys cn get the latest batch with no prob go for it,it is the closest to flagship w/out the price,beautiful screen,fast user exp. comparable to 1+,those issue i've highlighted only trigger during photo taking n i end up losing lots of precious moment,but whats the point of hving high pixels with great pdaf but cant save photo
