Help Do I need to return my S3?

I got my Galaxy S3 in September, and I love it, but I've been having some minor issues - most notably, notifications not happening unless I reboot the phone, or not at all. In addition to that, the phone freezes or reboots on its own about once a day.

Yesterday, I had the bright idea of doing a factory reset. So I backed up my apps and data, and did the reset. Once I restored everything, however, I realized the problem is worse than before I started.

What's going on today: upon restarting the phone, 2 processes had stopped before I even had a chance to do anything with the phone, I'm still having issues with notifications, the screen flickers (more of a violent shaking, really) when switching home screens or pressing the home button, and when I delete the AT&T contacts that were added to my contacts, I get an error that states: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." Every single time.

I am unrooted. All developer options are turned off.

Any suggestions are welcome.
 
That definitely doesn't sound right. I think, rather than go to a lot of hassle trying to find a fix for this myself, I would take it back and make it Samsung's problem.

Just remember to backup phone data to something else - e.g. PC, Google -then remove everything personal (including pictures) before you send it in.

Contacts are through Google, photos and apps are backed up to the SD card and dropbox, so I'm good. I'm going to stop into the AT&T store in my area today after class and see what they say.
 
I had to go into a device support center for a replacement tonight - so far, so good, but I'm still working on restoring my apps/settings
