By default UIKit will set the backgroundColor's of all subviews when selecting it.

If you want something differently subclass UITableViewCell and add this method to your subclass:

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    [[self textLabel] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [[self detailTextLabel] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
}

I have the same issue in an iPad running 4.3.3.

[cell.textLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];

this works to me.

Background color is a real nightmare ! good luck
