How to back up phone...

[KenA]

I have a replacement S3 coming Monday (Pandora was very static, as well as most music in native music app).
Instead of having to set everything back up the way I have it now, is there an easy way to back everything up...maybe to desktop PC? Apps? I use Google, so my contacts, etc are good...but settings and all will all have to be tampered with on replacement device.
Please & Thanks

Titanium backup and make a nandroid in recovery.

Full backups with apps, market links and app data require root. Apps from the market should however resync once you log into gmail on the other device assuming you select Automatic Restore on the new device and had Back Up My Data checked under Settings-Backup and Reset. Some system settings like remembered wifi settings etc may also restore. SMS/MMS will require a 3rd party app (I'm partial to MyBackup).
