Sony Xperia V keeps shutting off

[ChantalLR]

Hi All

My Sony Xperia V is only 6 months old, and I am having non-stop issues with it... The phone keeps shutting down and rebooting itself. I cannot even send an sms without it rebooting... This has been going on for 3 months now.

I have upgraded the software to the latest firmware, I have shoved an 8GB SD Card in it... but yet the problem persists.

This phone is completely unreliable and I cannot use it without cursing and getting my blood boiling. It has actually gotten worse since upgrading the firmware

What else could this be? Other than taking the phone back to the ISP, what else could I check? Any suggestions?

I chose this phone due to a dislike of Samsung phones, but I am starting to regret that decision.

Can somebody please advise my next step before I start demanding my money back???
