Acore process has stopped

Posted previously on wrong forum

I keep on having the above message pop up on my SP. 

It affects most of the functions, my camera ceases to save pics, apps don't work and occasionally all functionality of the phone is suspended (was left standing in road with phone ringing loadly and unable to even switch phone off)

This is really spoiling what was previously a reasonable phone.

Have read suggestions to factory reset but don't really want to lose all my data. Can anyone make suggestions?

This fault still occurs in Safe Mode

Keep getting the above message, along with multiple other messages popping up at the most inopportune times. Phone stops working randomly and is slow, pics won't save and generally it's messing up what was an ok phone. 

Have read other fixes but all seem to require full restart and don't want to lose all my stuff. 

Any suggestions?

Check if the same occurs in safe mode:

You might want to repair your phone with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

Except now my phone is stuck in Safe Mode!!

Press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds, it should turn off your phone 

then connect it to a wall charger > charge it for 30minutes or so > repair it with PCC

Turning phone off and charging for 30 mins has charged my phone! Any other suggestions?

Does this mean I lose all data/pictures on my phone?

Is there anyway of avoiding loss of data?
