android 4.0.3 ACTION_INSERT_OR_EDIT intent not working

When i try to use this Intent like so....

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT_OR_EDIT);

i.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);

startActivityForResult(i,INSERT_CONTACT);

How do I fix Html.fromHtml link focus visibility problems (in ICS and Honeycomb)?

To get a TextView to display (and act friendly with) Html strings my code looks something like:

PreferenceActivity background in ics is gone during scroll

i'm using PreferenceActivity in my app for settings and when tried to set a background and it looks fine untill the user scroll. during the scroll there is background only below the text (see links to images below)
