Anonymous, 14 Oct 2015What update did you do? Facing the same problem about the auto shutdownNo. My huband's m5 was updated when we sent it back, while mine's was not updated. Both phones still had the shutdown issue. The update didn't make any difference. We returned both units and are now waiting for our refund.

It shut down automatically and could not be switch on again unless you plug it with the charger. Sony repair center told me, it caused by the default firmware, which mean the phone actually not ready for sales in the market!! They can't fix my phone at the moment and ask me to wait for a few days!!! It is ridiculous

The staff told me all these problems were caused by the default firmware. They can't fix the phone at this moment and ask me to wait for a few days...... I believe Sony will update the firmware soon, but please don't put their product in the market if it is not ready! Sony sux
gvm, 13 Oct 2015Bought two units of M5 last Sep 19 but my husband and I encountered problems in less than two ... moreI have the similar problem. The phone can't charge up to 100% when it turn off. Battery die so fast, the phone always heat up. The worst is, it shut down suddenly and can't be switch off again unless plug it with the charger. My phone is kept by sony repair center now. They said it is the firmware problem which can't be fix at this moment. They ask me to wait for a few days. Few days passed, no news from Sony at all
AnonD-452815, 13 Oct 2015Those issues with charging,heating,restarting is nothing with hardware. It will disappear once... moreGood luck..... as I know they still haven't fix the firmware. My M5 is kept by the sony repair center since 11/10 until now. They told me there is problem with their firmware and couldn't fix my phone yet...... need me to wait for a few days.... and I still didn't get my phone back

(it suddenly switch off itself and can't turn it on unless you plug it with the charger) My phone is now kept by the Sony repair center, they told me they can't fix the problem yet, need me to wait for a few days..... its been few days already... very disappointed with the phone. Safe you money, I feel so regret to bought this phone.

It will disappear once you will do the update. I just confirmed this with one of my friend who brought this recently. At first he had all these problems and he thought that it was a defective piece, but after update it had worked like charm. Just now I seen his phone and tested to confirm all those issues disappeared.
Also I ordered the phone today itself, may be i will get it after 2 days.
AnonD-452815, 12 Oct 2015I'm going to purchase Xperia m5 Dual after 2 days. Please let me know if it is good or bad. Pl... moreDon't buy yet. We bought two M5 dual last Sept 19, my husband and I,and both phones would suddenly die on us. His was replaced already with another brandnew unit but with the same problem. That's 3 tested handset with all the same problem.
Bought two units of M5 last Sep 19 but my husband and I encountered problems in less than two weeks of use. His phone shuts down on its own, even on a high battery level, and will only open if you plug with a charger. When it opens, date/time settings don't update automatically as it should. The store replaced it with another brand new unit but it has the same issue. My initial problem with my unit was lagging and hanging even there's no multiple apps running and it sometimes click random screen parts without me doing anything, but now it got worse when it started to have the same problem of turning off by itself. That's 3 units with the same problem. I hope sony can fix that because we love the phone,great cam and sounds. Going back to the store again tomorrow. What a hassle!
I want to buy is this worth to give 30 bugs
