Sony Mobile recently introduced the Android 5.1 Lollipop update to the Xperia M5 and just a couple of weeks later, it has already pushed its first bug fix. The new update moves the build number to 30.1.A.1.46 for the Xperia M5 (E5603 and E5653 variants only at time of writing) and version 30.1.B.1.46 for the Xperia M5 Dual (E5663 only right now). Whether or not this update brings a fix to the shutdown bug remains to be seen. Let us know your thoughts below if you have updated.
