Google stopped working

[Novalux]

Seriously.

Every other website on the G1's browser works normally. But Google.com doesn't work. It doesn't load anything. The search widget, nothing. The bookmark nothing. Typing in google.com, nothing.

This perplexes me.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Seems to be working fine for me. Try clearing your cache. Menu button -> More -> Settings -> Clear Cache. If that doesn't work, give the phone a reboot.

[Novalux]

Hmm, have rebooted a few times with no change, and just cleared the cache twice with a restart in between. Still not loading.

I go to my Google Reader bookmark and it loads the top blue menu, but then nothing on the page. Strangely there is a scroll bar which goes fairly far down.

Just remove it from the bookmarks, n where ever u have saved that page then clear cache, restart n then try.

I Dont have G1 bt still try.

Ok, what the hell...

I used the app QSearch (with the on screen keyboard) to do a Google search, and it brought up the page successfully in the browser.

Using the normal bookmark, and typing in the url still fails however.

Soooo weird. I guess I'll uninstall QSearch to see if that's the cause.

Still not working with QSearch gone. I appears like there's something wrong with the Mobile Google. When I type www.google.com/search?q=zone+of+the+enders it works, it brings up the normal (non mobile) Google result page. This is what QSearch brought up, so that app appears to be ok.

The Android search feature goes to http://www.google.com/m?client=ms-tm...+of+the+enders
That link works on my computer, but not my G1.

Gah, false alarm I think. Javascript got turned off somehow. Must have bumped it, sheesh. Working fine now.

I had something similar happen weeks ago. The regular Google search bar widget stopped working correctly.

If I entered a search into the Google search toolbar widget, it would just open the browser and dump me to Google's site, asking if I wanted the mobile version or the full site. I'd then have to re-type the search term.

I got so irritated with it that I just removed the Google search widget from my home desktop and now use QSearch instead (it's better anyway!).

You have to leave javascript enabled to use the mobile Google site? No wonder it doesn't work for me! And the QSearch widget doesn't work for me either. In both cases I just get a blank screen.

I would have expected a mobile version of the site to degrade gracefully.

[Novalux]

Yeah it's really weird that they would do that. Using Qsearch, it goes to an "desktop" version of Google and it worked fine, because it's just straight html.

The really weird part is how Javascript is getting turned off. I know I didn't do it purposefully, so either an app did it or I bumped it while scrolling through options and didn't realize.
