Android ScrollView overscroll indicator Issue

Question

This is a strange issue I'm having with my Samsung GT-I9003L. I've a ScrollView containing a LinearLayout with different stuff inside (ImageView, Button, EditText, etc.) and it works perfectly when tested in the emulator, both in 2.3.3 and 4.2 versions.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/scroll_view"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="16dp" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="200dp"
            android:contentDescription="@string/img_description"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn_camera"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/add_new_btn_camera" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn_gallery"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/add_new_btn_gallery" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:ems="10"
            android:hint="@string/add_new_name_hint"
            android:inputType="text"
            android:maxLength="80" />

        [...]
    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

The thing is that when I test it on my phone, the overscroll indicators (the blue/orange glows) doesn't show at all. I've managed to get them working with this line:

ScrollView addNewScroll = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scroll_view);
addNewScroll.setOverScrollMode(ScrollView.OVER_SCROLL_IF_CONTENT_SCROLLS);

But when I reach the top or the end, the glow just "appears", it doesn't animates or fades in.

Thanks in advance for your help!

We are having the exact same issue. Overscolling doesn't seem to work on Samsung Galaxy 2 (Touchwiz), but also on HTC One X phones (older HTC's seem to work).

Is suspect that they replaced the ScrollView implementation with their own, maybe for the stretchy scrollbars or something.
