Use cwm or twrp recovery mode to do nandroid backup. It is straightforward easy
Why you want to use the toolkit so tedious

When I switch roms, can I install back my apps + data using TWRP, like what we all did with TB?
*
TWRP is just simply another recovery like clockworkmod
You can use it to flash kernel, modem n custom rom. Do full nandroid backup n full restore just like cwm

Thanks Uncle benny, actually I dont know how to use CWM or TWRP. I want to make recovery just because I just want to unlock and then root my N7, is there any way to unlock without wipe the data?
*
Recovery mode just hold down both volume up n down plus power. Then volup select recovery mode
Select backup option from the menu
Unlock bootloader will definitely wipe clean tablet
No matter what method you use

Uncle Benny, there's no menu(to select backup) after I had selected the recovery mode. My N7 just showing the robot pic for a while and then reboot into normal mode after each time I selected the recovery mode. pls help, thanks  smile.gif

That means you are on stock recovery not custom recovery such as cwm or twrp
You need to flash these recovery n can be easily done through the nexus7 toolkit. Choose which type of recovery you want cwm or twrp

CWM, but how to flash recovery? My device is not rooted yet

Use nexus7 toolkit. Flash recovery no need root but need unlock bootloader. You can root before or after flashing recovery

I don't think it's on the spot. They need to troubleshoot and evaluate what's wrong first before they give you 1-to-1.

I think Uncle Benny case also not 1-to-1 on the spot. If they do 1-to-1 for all RMA case, they rugi A LOT.

Mine was replaced free after the tech screwup trying to replace the motherboard
And my unit when i sent in was with bootloader unlocked and tablet keep booting only to clockworkmod recovery - even so the tech told me warranty still honour and need to replace motherboard

I suggest you reflash the stock rom first and assess it before sending in to service center
If same issues still persists, than only send in and most probably the most they will change is your display
You can try your luck asking for a new replacement

so it doesnt matter if my tablet is rooted and bootloader unlocked?
*
You worry about warranty claims, then unroot and lock back bootloader first - it just take a minute only to do it
For me I cannot even do such stuffs ( PC just cannot detect the tablet) and i just sent in as it is condition and I was indeed very surprised warranty is still covered and mother board replace FOC. I sent in my unit to JB Skudai center
I remember some users has their speakers replaced FOC ( in KL) even though theirs was rooted too

Hey guys,

I have a HTC One X and a Nexus 7. On my HTC one x there is an option in facebook accounts (Settings>Accounts) to sync contacts and calendars. This enables facebook birthdays to appear in my Google Calendar (I'm using Google calendar not HTC Sense calendar)

However on my Nexus 7, the is no option for calendar sync. And even in the FB app, it does not have a section called 'other settings' which enables me to choose sync all contacts or sync only contacts in contact list.

My question is why are there different options and why is it that I can't enable my nexus 7 to sync with my FB calendar so that I can get all the birthdays on my calendar?

Secondly, the google calendar app in my phone has a menu option that allows me to choose what to display but on the nexus 7, no such menu item is found. It's the same app!

Is it because on stock rom, there is no such thing as facebook calendar sync?
*
N7 calendar is basic unlike say HTC or Samsung which have added features
Anyway Google is never on good terms with Facebook n is not strange they do not include sync Facebook options

Or should I just wait for the 32gb version

Only few users reported such n this does not justify many hardware problem quote
Go read every tablet n phone thread n tell me one which does not have user reporting hardware issues
Even great apple ipad n iPhone have their share of complaints
If you are paranoid save your money n don't even buy it

Just get it bro. You won't regret it.

I have an iPad 3 at home but I tend to use the nexus 7 more. Smaller and more compact its much easier to use for me although I must agree with Benny... The screen is damn jialat!
*
I sold off my ipad mini 32 gb after only 3 weeks
Was impressed with its thinness, lightweight n nicer design n display
However practically using it was a dissapointment vs the nexus 7 especially in speeds of browsing, email content download, files management n YouTube streaming
End up I use the n7 most of the time
Text looks much better on the n7 vs ipad mini n that is important for me
Just sharing

update to 4.2 ady using OTA update. The data are still there but superuser is still here also. Which means im still rooted right? rclxub.gif

Don't think so
Having superuser does not mean you are rooted
Test n download titanium backup n see whether you can get it working
No need any guessing

Need some opinion to clear my doubt.

I m planning to get a tablet, either nexus 7 or 10.
Let say,  I m going for the nexus 7, but currently I m also a galaxy note user. Given the size of both the galaxy note and nexus 7 which the nexus 7 is a bit bigger, is it worth to grab the nexus 7 ?
What benefit can I get against the galaxy note ?
*
The N7 is very , very , very much more responsive and slicker, n very obvious better performer than the Galaxy Note. Battery life is easily 3 times that of the Note. You cannot compare between these 2 as one the Note is a smartphone which can make calls while the N7 cannot make calls. Dont think you can have one at expense of another
The N7 do not have a micro SD card and some might find it to be a disadvantage
Change your phone to NOTE 2 and it will be a perfect combo with the N7. You can easily use Note2 3g and use it as wifi hotspot and NOT worry about battery drain. Try using the NOTE as wifi hotspot and be prepared to have 30+ % drain/hour against merely 10% max on the Note 2,. NOt only that the NOTE will record very high temperatures using as hotspot - 40 to 48 degree C is common while is barely warm on Note 2 ( less than 40 degree C)
