Browser vertical scroll & minor questions - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, after trying various mods now I am settle with checkrom RevoHD V.6
1. Since I first updated the phone, I lost the "zoom lock" in browser's vertical scroll. To explain it more, when I double tap the screen, it zooms into the text, but when I scroll down, the zoom is not lock (as when I bought the phone) instead it scrolls down and left or right, so I lose some words from the left or right of the paragraphs. Its not a very big deal but it happens every day.
2. I install a custom modem through KitchenPro, the XXKI4. This modem however does not work properly on my device. How do I revert back to factory modem?
3. Finally is there really a way to have the phone vibrating for calls and not for SMS?

Try reflashing rom (it's no wipe) That could solve your issues.

[Q] Horizontal scrolling inside an e-mail

As I didn't find anything related, I wonder if anyone else have come across this, or if it's just my device.
When I open up an e-mail and scroll to the right, this is what happens:
First scroll seems fine, when I drag from right to left using the entire screen area.
On the second scroll, I put my finger on the right side of the screen, and when I start dragging to the left, the image jumps back 1/3 to the right, before moving to the left again.
This problem came right after I upgraded to 4.0.3 (stock I9100XXLPQ) and never happened on 2.3.6.
Tried both native email client and Enhanced Email from the marked. Same issue.
Seems to be related to e-mail clients only, as scrolling horizontally in the native browser and the gallery works just fine. Also dragging left/right in the Nova launcher is very smooth.
Anyone have an idea about what could be the cause to this problem?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok let me put this in a nice way. Samsung completely screwed up the scrolling in ICS. So to answer your question: Samsung is the cause of your problem...
Just flash your gingerbread or a good old cm9.
Have a good day :]

[Q] Any Way To Revert Back To Previous Firmware?

Everything is working fine with my international HOX+, until the most recent update. Touch screen sensitivity now has issues. For example - while scrolling up and down in the system settings, instead of scrolling, things are actually pressed, so while scrolling around, "Personalize", "Accounts & sync", "Location", etc is being selected. Another example is scrolling through messages - instead of going up and down through messages, threads are opened and selected. This to me is unacceptable.
Is there possibly a way to downgrade to the previous firmware version without wiping data? Or perhaps it's time for me to learn about installing custom roms?

2 issues im looking for some help with

I'm running stock with root injected, boot loader is unlocked.
1) When ever i zoom out on my homescreens to see all at once, i cannot delete a home screen (if i have 7 home screens and try to drag one down tot he trashcan to remove one of the home screens) the phone freezes up, and it then tells me the touchwiz stopped working, force closed
this happens every time i try to delete a home screen...
2) When i receive pic messages, it should display the pic in the dropdown notification bar...it doesn't. My gf's stock phone does.
And to avoid having to answer a followup question, yes i cleared the cache and all that jazz...

[Q] Few questions about my SGS2 4.1.2

Hello everyone!
I've got some questions about my galaxy S2.
I have my device for about a month now and decided to root it (ICS).
I installed GO launcher and for some reason it appeared in my task manager and i swiped it away by accident and thats where the ~ started
Got a black homescreen, rebooting didn't help so i thought well this is some kind of brick?
Yesterday i downloaded the pre-leaked 4.1.2 jelly bean (as belgium still doesn't have the official update) and put it on my device. I think it's dated from early november 2012.
Everythings working fine now but i have a few questions about changing some settings i don't seem to find or that don't work.
1.) Text message app:
The chat bubbles seem larger and the text in it too compared to ICS (if i remember it correctly). Is there any way to make make the font size even smaller than the default "extra small" which is quite large in my opinion. I don't want to use another messaging app and i tried a few apps to change font size but they didnt change it inside the messages app.
2.) Message buzzer:
When recieving a message my phone buzzes very hard and loudly for about a whole second eventhough i put it on heartbeat :s
Any idea how to fix this?
3.) Notification bar:
When sliding down the notification bar the upper row of switches always is in the middle position and then scrolls sideways to the first switch automatically, is this normal? and is there a way to change this?
4.) Go Locker:
When pressing a button to open the lockscreen my touch doesnt always respond. Need to lock it again, light up the screen again and then i'm able to swipe the screen. Normal?
Thanks in advance
I'd answer your questions one by one but i'm gonna make an aseveration instead.
It's normal, you'll get used to it, use the vol rocker to change the size.
You're on the leak, you can flash the netherlands ROM if you like, it's jb final.
Some of the apps that worked so well on ICS won't work the same way because of the different OS and lack of app upgrade.

dun use go launcher/ go locker if u feel that it is the cause. go launcher is known for it's big memory hogging/ overeater. try buzz launcher :cyclops:
@gastonw i know about the volume button but it doesn't go as small as before 
 @cyelanius i have no trouble with the memory usage, dont see much diff in batery life and i'm not a gamer on this device
Thanks for the replies anyways
Trust me, you'll get used to; I did.

Question Buggy navigation pill swipe from home on latest update

So, a week or so ago I've been forced to install an OTA update (despite disabling these in settings, because see this thread), and now my navigation is screwed up.
Swiping right on the pill from any regular app correctly switches to the previous one. Doing the same on a home screen (tested with Nova 6 and Total launcher) *seems* to be doing the same, but in reality it enters a fullscreen version of "app carousel" that you normally enter swiping up on the pill.
The easiest way to spot it (and mostly how it screws me up) is that the next pill swipe right won't switch to the next app, but instead smoothly scroll over multiple of them. Another thing is that because it's the carousel and not actual app (despite being properly fullscreen), any iteraction enters the app, showing the fade-in animation. And only then you can normally use it, so it basically eats the first input you do. Except swipe up, which, like on the proper carousel, kills the app.
This DOES NOT happen with the stock Asus launcher, but I don't want to use it. It also was working well before the update, I swipe to get to the last back from home constantly.
In the attached video, you can see me demonstrating the problem:
- [00:01] First there's a regular "swipe pill up" to open the recents carousel, scrol it back and forth, start swiping up some app, this works as expected
- [00:06] Then, back on home screen, I swipe right on the pill directly, entering the bugged state despite it looking like if it just entered the Reddit app
- [00:08] But another swipe right, instead of swapping to the SCP Reader app, just scrolls thorugh a bunch of them
- [00:13] After swiping back to the first on the list, clicking a post makes a weird "pop-in" animation
- [00:15] Because now we're out of the bugged state and entered the app properly, only the next click selects a post like it should
- [00:17] Back home again, swipe right to enter bugged state like I usually get back to an app after unlocking the phone
- [00:19] Click to exit bugged state again
- [00:21] Swiping right on the pill *from an app*, which works as expected
- [00:22+] Swiping sideways on pill a few more times to show that it's *not* in the bugged state and changes one app at a time, also entering these properly right away
Does anyone also experience this? Obv I tried restarting the phone, disabling/enabling the pill and in general messing with as many settings as I could to try and poke it, but nothing still. It's SUPER disruptive in everyday use, I'd be very glad to try any suggestions/fixes.
This has been happening for last 3 updates if I recall correctly. I have switched to stock launcher until it's fixed.
Really sucks, A13 finally fixed issues with 3rd party launchers but after an update this issue appeared.
