Internet Explorer touch-scroll very sticky/choppy

I've had my Orbit 2 for one day and find internet explorer unusable, so much that I'm considering sending it back and staying with my hermes/tytn/Orange M3100. The touch scroll/flow is very very sticky and slow.
On my hermes I have SPB Pocket Plus installed with the 'Smart Scrolling' feature on. With this, Internet Explorer finger-scrolling down web pages is super-smooth and fast.
I installed SPB Pocket Plus on my Orbit 2 thinking this would sort the problem out but when installed on the Orbit 2 the Smart Scrolling feature is missing (!?)
I really don't want to send the phone back, so any help with resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.

Please.... This has already been posted so often! Why don't you simply use the search function?
I'll give you one hint, however: ie_slow_scroll_fix.cab

sorry, I did search but didn't find that cab. thanks for the pointer!
I've installed it and scrolling is much improved, but still nowhere near as good as om my hermes with SPB Pocket plus installed with the Smart Scrolling feature.
Does anyone know why the Smart Scrolling feature of SPB Pocket plus isn't available when installed on the polaris (Orbit 2)?

try disabling htc's touchflo 1st?

It appears SBP PP's Smart Scrolling is not compatible with any TouchFlo device. I suppose thats a good enough reason for a little donation to support the chefs with their cooking of a TouchFlo + SPB Smart Scrolling compatible rom.

also u can try PIE for windows 6.1

Why not install the new Netfront Browser 3.5? It's got a really smooth scrooling function combined with tabbed browsing and the zoom-out function (like Opera mini). And it's free until May 31, so you won't have to worry anymore for the next three months.
The IE_slow_scroll_fix.cab, however, made scrolling perfectly smooth on my device. I don't think it could be much better. So perhaps you try to do a hard reset and then install it first or uninstall SPB and then install the cab? It should work almost perfectly...

Think TouchFlo + SPB Smart Scrolling compatible is impossible. You'd have to choose one. That's why I'd rather use SPB which at least comes with updates for bugs.

I agree with maati:
Install Netfront. Maybe till end of May HTC has released a new rom where the bug is fixed.

This worked for me

try this one also.. PIE for WM6.1

Guys, thanks for the suggestions!
I already have Netfont Browser 3.5 installed, and it has a very nice 'action'. Is there any way to get it to scale down the web page to a column like Internet Explorer does?
I've just tried Pocket Internet Explorer for WM6.1 (Thanks for the link alipi2007) and running this along with the IE_Slow_Scroll_Fix cab seems to do a better job.
However, let me give you an example to decribe the issue I still have:
When using the Polaris to view the index of this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php), I flick my thumb from the bottom of the Polaris screen to the top three times in quick succession - the screen scrolls and halts at the picture of the Wallaby handset.
Now, when I do the same on my Hermes running SPB Pocket Plus with Smart Scrolling, this three flicks of my thumb up the screen takes me down to the picture of the Vogue.
Quite some difference, don't you agree?
It's this speed of navigation and fluidity that I need on my Polaris.

Hi
What have I do it that Opera 9.5 (build in oryginal 6.5 ROM) will be default browser?
I want to run Opera by tapping LaunchBrowser icon. Now, if I tap this shortcut, Internet Explorer runs.

How to get Opera 10 run with 2-Finger-Zoom

Hi, I loaded the brandew Beta-Version of Opera Mobile 10 on the HTC HD3 Leo.
It's looking great but now the Standart-Version is overwritten and no more aviable. At the Version 10, there is no 2-Finger-Zoom (the best Function of the HD2 Leo).
The same with Google-Maps. Who can help me with fitting original Programm-Versions for the HTC Leo where I can zoom with 2 Fingers in individual Sizes?
THX A Lot!

The original opera mobile that came on the device has not been overwritten, opera 10 has just made itself the default browser, both versions are on the device still. You can add pinch zoom to any software on the device; If you install BsB Tweaks ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305 ) there is an option to do this.

Zooomer v0.10 (Free SoftWare) is a good choice. You can zoom any software and especially the zoom video (with Windows Media Player)

The only problem is that you does not get the same zooming, as in the original browser. The original browser only zoom on the content on the website, but programs which uses zoomer to pinch to zoom, will zoom on the whole application. This means that the UI will also be zoomed in on, and you get that square in the bottom to navigate around with

pinch control for opera 10
hi all - bsb tweakz isnt great for me as the normal (9.7) opera zoom increases the resolution of the opera content - and not the gui as mentioned above. has anyone done a tweak which feeds screen pozition and zoom level to the opera mobile 10 api?
p.s. soz for the typing - still not quite there on my hd2 keyboard skills!

Opera 10 (even the last beta) does not support true pinch-to-zoom. It is a nice browser but if you whant this feature you have to wait till a new version comes up.
