Would suggest that you backup essential data with Nokia Suite and return device to "as new condition" by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user) to exclude any possible software corruption.

Hi akhil_007,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum. 

Since the hard reset didn't work and since there's no update available for your phone, you can consider re-installing the software of your phone through Nokia Suite.

Following are basic steps on how you can reinstall your phone's software.

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Nokia Suite installed and running on your PC
2. Connect the device to your PC using the USB data cable
3. Open Nokia Suite and select from the menu Tools > Software update
4. On the Software Updates page, under your device click the reinstall link to start the wizard that will guide you through the reinstallation of your device software

Before installing a software update or reinstalling your current device software we recommend performing a backup of your data:

1. Connect your device to Nokia Suite
2. From the menu select Tools > Backup
3. Follow the wizard to create the backup.

To restore the data from a backup go into Nokia Suite, select Tools > Restore and follow the wizard to restore your data.

Hi, after you backed up & reformatted your phone did you restore your backup? If so then perhaps it also reinstalled the problem. You could retry to return to factory conditions again & then reinstall the backup individually, (contacts first) then see how you go over the course of several days, if it's OK move onto the next item in the backup & restore that.
