Issue: Phone instability
Detail: Phone has started to act a little wonky over the past couple days. It's been rooted since February last year and last stable backup was in August (don't have anything that important on it aside from call logs, and photos are stored to SD card+backed up). I've had issues with simple tasks taking too long to complete, and lately SMS seem to be stalling on me (anything from sending to on-screen notifications for recieving). Thinking that Samsung's good old "utilization" of the SD card might be causing unnecessary thrashing about of data to and fro.
So, Samsung decided to push an update to Kies 3. It gets everything down to backing up all apps, text messaging, etc. all the way up to the "call log" where it just sits there and stalls (doesn't do anything) - there are 2 more items to backup after this (photos, calendar, Splanner - which are redundant, remain left hanging in queue) but really would have liked to have had call logs. Good job on Windows 8 for catching this as a potential problem and creating a restore point, but now even the old version does the same thing. Really have to wonder if Kies detects an update - does it normally break like this? I don't have a carbon copy of the original Ki3 installation unfortunately.
Is there a good alternative to Kies? I have Ti Backup but I've only used it once or twice to freeze apps or do things Samshun doesn't allow through its UI. I need something that backs up the whole directory structure of the phone (same as Samsung) but not an entire image recovery - even though phone is just out of warranty, still want to get rid of it soon (sell it) - most recovery methods that aren't done by Kies involving flashing will trip Knox (I used Kingoapp to root only). Does "safe mode" work for backups?
While we're on the subject of said Note 3, out of curiosity, what's the cheapest price you've seen for a replacement stylus? Seems to have been misplaced, the dog hid it or it's been kicked under some furniture somewhere... Have a gut feeling the moment money's plopped down for a spare it will pop out of the abyss, but just in case one really has to replace.
Any help appreciated, thanks ^^
