XA1 shutting down when nor kept horizontal

My xa1, which is just over a year old suddenly started shutting down. The only way to reboot was to have it plugged in. It could be over 90% charged. I tried various things from taking off the last app installed, usi g I safe mode to reinstalling all software

Not finished above.... 

I've finally found that it will stay on if kept horizontal. When using I can turn it vertical and it works fine but as soon as it goes into standby mode, if vertical it will shut off. Is there a fix as otherwise I love this phone.

Same phone, same issue...

My Phone have been shutting down since a few days ago. I discover it has something to do with standby Mode, when in found this topic, accidentally swipe my Phone in vertical and switched off Face_with_cold_Sweat

No sure how, but my Phone shuts down. No trouble with battery nor need to plugin to turn on.

I need a solution!

I took mine back to the O2 shop where I bought it and they sent it be repaired as it has 2year warranty. They told me it was a software issue. I've had it back 2 days and it started doing it again but this time takes longer before switching off. Will be going back again!

In the end I sent it back 3x to 02 and they kept saying there was no issue until I took it into the shop when it had turned itself off and asked them to turn it back on - which they couldn't.

They agreed to replace it but I got an AX1 ultra which is huge in comparision and heavy - not what I wanted at all. This replacement now has issues with the bluetooth. I'm falling out of love with Sony pretty fast
