Lumia 521 rapidly refreshing

[WPCentral Question]

I have a Nokia Lumia 521 and it has been messing up the last few days.

The main issue is the rapid refreshing. When I restart my phone the main screen/tiles refreshes and moves like you hit the back button. Just fast and does this over and over. No button works besides the power button.

Sometimes after a restart when I click a new text or email it justs back to the main page. Sometimes the font in texting and internet explorer can be read.

This is very weird , anyways try a soft reset by holding volume down+lock button until your phone vibrates and reboot itself.

Soft reset does not fix it. Did a hard reset on Sat. Still glitching. Can't find anything about it online anywhere.

Sounds like a software problem. Use Nokia recovery tool to reinstall the firmware. Let us know how it went. And back everything up before you do it.
