Help needed backing up a Samsung S$ Galaxy mini

Options
Hi, My Samsung S4 Galaxy mini has developed some faults, screen occasionally freezing, and sound problem when on calls. I've only had it since about last October so its still under warranty.
The problem is, I want to back up my contacts and text messages, and photos to some extent although that is not so important as I have already copied them to my computer. I have not downloaded any apps onto the phone and don't really want to so that is not an issue/
I've tried using Kies, Kies lite and Smart Switch but Kies tells me that my device is not recognised even though its connected via USB cable and the drivers were downloaded. Smart Switch does not back up the text messages. Any ideas as to what I can do as I don't want to send the phone off for repair without a back up.


Thanks
