Android version - 5.1 Build LMY47D
Hi all,
Had the 64gb version phone since end of February which i purchased through CarphoneWarehouse here in the UK.
Since then I've been plagued with the Random Shutdown issue. Even after the 5.1 update i seem to still experience the issue. Sometimes i get the "low battery" error then shutdown, and sometimes just the sudden "Device is shutting down" error with no low battery warning. Phone rarely reboots but just just shuts completely down. Seems to happen more frequently during a phone call which is highly annoying! But can also happen when phone is left alone in standby. Now when inspecting the phone there doesn't seem to be any signs of the battery swelling, and device doesn't seem to be overheating.. So i don't know whats causing it.
Now I've read through this forum and others and carried out all the advice offered to the many other people experiencing the same issue and it still seems to occur. Factory reset on Friday and by Monday the phone had done its first Random Shutdown. Spoke to the online support chat at Motorola yesterday and they've sent me instructions to send the phone off to them for repair, and i was told they would have it for no longer than 7 days. And if no issue was found then they would replace the handset.. which i hope they will.
Before i send it off though i'm not sure whether to stick it out longer and wait for the next Android update in the hope it may be a software fault and can be fixed? Or should i send it off for repair next week?
Has anyone with the same issue received their phone back from repair or a replacement phone and the problems been solved? Or is it an issue that no one really knows how to fix?
Thanks for your help.
Martyn.
