What you're seeing is normal for ICS. The reason it does that is because it is rendering the page into an array of images - this is called a backing store. It is much easier to scale and transform an image than it is to redraw the page for every frame of a scroll or zoom animation. This makes for better frame rates during scrolling and zooming, at the cost of that momentary pixelation when you zoom in. A lot of people whined about the non-smooth scrolling in older versions so I guess they decided to go this route with ICS (which, by the way, is what Apple does in iOS, and if you've ever used an iWhatever you'll see the same thing when zooming in).

More information here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5310/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-review/5

And here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/4

This is not unique to Sense ROMs either, I'm on a de-Sensed ROM at the moment and even then the browser does the same thing. In any case, personally I find the scrolling much smoother than before, and I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff.

I don't know if it works on Sense 3.6 ROMs, but try typing "about:debug" in the address bar, hit enter, then go to Settings>Debug and then uncheck "Enable OpenGL Rendering". Then you get no pixelation on zooming in, but the scrolling will be slower.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I do see what you're talking about, but the pixelation is only for like 2 milliseoconds, so who cares.
[HTC Sensation] jedininja666:
Thank you SO MUCH! This is exactly what I was looking for, I searched around but had you not said this, I would never have known. :D

I can live with the slightly jerkier scrolling, in fact I don't really notice it. What I did notice was the slow zooming and rendering, but thanks to you that's now fixed. Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] jhowle9475:
this is why i don't use custom ROMS. to many bugs/issues and no matter how much someone that makes a roms and tests it, they will never have a perfect product. Let me ask a few questions that may get your attention. One big issue for me is that how do you know that the folks that make these things aren't embedding malicious software in there? How many people pay bills or access their bank accounts with their phones and how do you know that the ROM isn't sending your data back to it's creator?

No worth the risk for me.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
The risk is just about nothing, and you think carriers or manufacturers make a perfect product?
[HTC Sensation] mohameddegheidy:
I use Dolphin browser HD , by far the best browser :)
[HTC Sensation] Nick L:
This doesn't have anything to do with custom ROMs. Everything that uses the ICS browser does it. It is not a bug, but a different way of rendering pages. People complained about the jerky scrolling in older Android versions, so they changed it, but I guess you can't please everyone. When we get the official OTA from T-Mo I'd be willing to bet it will do the same thing.

As for security, well of course there are no guarantees that a custom ROM won't have malware, but there are enough people who know what they're doing here that if someone tried to pull that sort of thing they would be called out fairly quickly. And let us not forget that even the stock ROMs have data-gathering tools as well (Carrier IQ etc.)
[HTC Sensation] egg_n_ham:
Hi TS,

The stock browser in ICS is by far the best I have ever experienced. I just upgraded my sensation to stock ICS yesterday night.

Having tried out the 3rd party browsers, all i can say is it beats Dolphin, Maxthon, Puffin, Opera. In terms of fluidity and rendering.

Probably u are saying it sucks for the websites u are trying to render isn't working out for you. But hey, no mobile browser is totally perfect to render all websites in the world out there. :D
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
The stock browser in ICS is great for my needs...don't plan on changing to another!

What thing do you use Titanium Backup for? Tell me their whole names please so I can easily find them in the application. There are so many things I don't know what to backup. And I can't think of any and there might be so many useful stuff I've just missed. So please share what do you backup up with Titanium?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
User apps and a few bits of system data like the Data Usage Allowance settings, Bluetooth Pairings.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
The easy way to use Titanium is to click on Menú button, and there go to "Lotes" (sorry have it Spanish), which for me is the option top-right.

There you have the diferent quick options, one of them is to Copy your apps, and down you have the one to restore them ;)

For me that's the menú! Just take care, ones you start copying things don't touch your screen, just leave the device do it's work... I don't know why but if I touch anything Titanium blocks and I have to kill the process to restart the copy (same with back up, not a big deal really, just let it do its job ;) )
[HTC Sensation] Drewstein:
I backup my text history, app data, email account settings etc. Much easier to blaze through Titanium to be right where I left off before flashing.
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
I just use Titanium when I flash a new rom. I nandroid the previous ROM so I can have a complete backup in case the new ROM sucks. The cool part about TB is that it can restore from nandroid, so I kill two birds with one stone. As soon as I boot up the new ROM, I extract all the apps I want from nandroid with TB.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
Howdy, so... I'm quite new, obviously.

I've searched the forums for information regarding the SGH-i727r but came to the conclusion it does not have it's own forum so info. is scattered.

My question is: What is the going official name of this phone and/or does it matter what unlock code Model I use?

IE: I have a Galaxy S II SGH-i727r however all of the unlock websites I've been to do not specifically list the SGH-i727r as a model.

Which of the following would my model be closest to? (according to cellunlocker.net):

Galaxy S II LTE i727

Galaxy S II Skyrocket LTE i727

i727 Galaxy S II LTE

Or does it make a difference?

Thanks for the (hopeful) patience :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drizzle67:
Those three models you listed are all the same as far as the i727.. are you on rogers? i would assume it's the same phone as the at&t version. I don't know for sure, but try asking cell unlocker if you aren't sure. they should be able to tell you.

EDIT: so i just went to the site, just choose one of the ones you listed.. they are all the same, choose your network and enter your imei. It shouldn't be too hard man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
It's a toughie to describe what carrier I'm with. Rogers pulled out of Northwestern Ontario and sold they're 807 numbers to our local carrier in exchange for them to use the Rogers towers.

so, in a nutshell I'm Tbaytel powered by Rogers. My phone is an SGH-i727r (the r designates it's a rogers phone), and from the information I've gathered, Rogers is the only one that is LTE branded(?)

There are only a few minor differences between the few i727's that I know of, but I just don't want to pay for one and find out it's the wrong code.

In a perfect world.... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
No difference same phone, as long as it says i727, R just stands for Rogers baseman, u can flash custom tomorrow or radio and it will have no R.

Skyrocket=LYRICS in USA.

Before paying for code, use the unlockers for SII. In the market they should work.

Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
The unlockers do NOT work for our phone, sim unlock code must be obtained from an unlock site
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
I'm not going to say you are wrong or not, but if I recall (and I could also recall wrong) there were a few MINOR differences between brands of the models.

As well, 2 of those 3 devices are 24.99$ while the other is 7.99$ To me at least, that says they're different.

Gonna try searching more, thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] agentx3r:
CellUnlockedNow.com worked for me on my Rogers S2 LTE. Can't remember how much but it was cheaper than the rest without messing around with discount codes.

This is not a shill :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
Honestly, a bit hesitant on the cellunlockednow website. Read lots of bad reviews. But kudos if it was working for you :)

I'm back stuck in a .. equation again. I have a Rogers BRANDED phone but it's locked to my local carrier Tbaytel.

The only site that I have seen thus far with an unlock code for the Tbaytel network is Canadagsm dot com. Offering an unlock code for 35$! Seems a bit steep but, maybe it's because it's a goofy network and not a big telecomm one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Borrow a Rogers sim card and unlock it, that should work. It'll save you $10, at least
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
I apologize, as I read through this I think i just made some things more confusing than they actually are, but I dug deeper and got a bit more info.

The phone is all Rogers. But just Tbaytel is a reseller of their phones. So my phone (SIM card?) is locked to the Tbaytel network.

I do, however, possess my old Rogers SIM card still.

However, my knowledge is that Tbaytel does NOT have any towers that are GSM compatible, and are strictly CDMA towers.

If I were unlock my phone with the Rogers SIM would that not still leave me with my Tbaytel sim LOCKED to the Tbaytel network? I could always use that Rogers SIM to get on their GSM networks, but as soon as it's plopped in my new phone its incompatible.

Again, I'm sorry for all of my confusing, queer'd up posts. It's a mess of a situation with an even messier carrier (tbaytel).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bwp85:
Might be wrong but i'm reading everywhere that the Samsung model is GT-I9210T. Hope that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skaoiboy:
Use this option:

http://www.cellunlock.net/Unlock_Rogers_Fido_phones_p/rogersfidoimei.htm

Plus the code 'android50' and it's $8.50CAD. That's how I got mine.

They'll need the IMEI obviously and the model, I just put SGH-I727R.

Took them a little longer (28 hours) but it was worth the money I saved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LeeC:
Thanks, Just ordered :)

===

Just a quit note: I got the code and tried to unlock on ICS but no success. Then I reflashed back to GB and it went through.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
Figured i'd update everybody.

Tbaytel fried my old Rogers SIM when they transfered my phone number from the Rogers SIM to the new Tbaytel SIM.

Therefore, I cannot use my old Rogers SIM to unlock.

So with this information, is it possible to use the current Tbaytel SIM to unlock the phone, and WITH THAT SIM be able to access the GSM network? As it stands the phone/SIM card is LOCKED to the TBAYTEL HSPA+ network and if I go into my network settings and choose GSM ONLY, I won't get registered on the network.

I'm very disgusted with Tbaytel but they are practically the only option, other than going with Koodo and using the CDMA network (plus crappy phones).

*also, should I root first or unlock then root?*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LeeC:
That's two different things. does not really matter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stuck?:
Thanks for all the help this far, and sorry to be an idiot again. Just a quick question.

For unlocking, do I need to use an ACTIVE SIM card? I have 2 old inactive Rogers cards @ home, but I just thought that I may need an active one to do the unlocking.

And if so, will using it to unlock my phone have any consequence on the other person's SIM card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LeeC:
You can try your old card. if not working just put an active card from other carrier. It will popup a windows ask your network unlock code. type the code to unlock. if succeed your phone will be working under other carrier; if not it will keeps popping up the window asking the code. There is no harm to other person's card.

Hello,

were you able to get registered on the new network? After purchasing a Roger's i727r I unlocked it to check out my other options in the area. After deciding the only decent option in my area was Rogers I popped in the sim card but now only get edge, despite being in an lte area. Took it into a store and they tell me that since I unlocked it they will not help me get it on their network. Unless I manage to find another provider I am stuck with a $500 media player. Oh well, thanks again Roger's for effing over Canadians.
