that doesn't seem right, a Sony employee wouldn't suggest that you use flashtool, first PCC and SUS will do the same, update and reinstall the current software, flashtool allow you to do the same and to install previous firmware versions or firmwares from other countries. can you elaborate on your issues

I am having these problems-

1 android os consume 80 percent of battery when phone is left idle.

2.when i try to turn it off the phone restarts while turning off.

the service personnel told me tgat there is a difference when you update the software and we flash it with flashtool.

This seemed strange to me. Now what should i do???

repair your phone with SUS or PCC > do NOT install any app > test your phone if the problem persists if it does take it back to the store and get it replaced or contact Sony customer service
