www.google.com doesn't work. What's going on?

[Deathwish238]

Okay this is weird. It was fine a couple days ago, but now I have this issue for the last 48 hours.

I have a TMobile G1 unlocked on A&T. It doesn't matter if I'm using EDGE or Wifi.

If I open up the browser and either go to www.google.com or try using the search button on the keyboard, a little message pops up and says:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: _gp_initSearch

The name of the window is: The page at 'http://w...


I have tried clearing the cache, cookies, and history. I don't know what else to try.

Now, here's the really weird part. I can SOMETIMES go to
http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&btnG=Search


I don't know what's going on and this is rather annoying to not be able to use Google to search. I hate Yahoo


If you need more information...let me know what to post.

ive been having problems connecting over edge or 3g recently. even though i have signal and the 3g icon, it wont load the page. it seems to load than goes to a white page. also when this is going on youtube, the market, and any app that uses internet doesnt work. if i reset the phone it works but does this happen to anyone else?

What settings do you have to connect to AT&T's data?


@kimchi29

Various people are reporting "blank pages."

The browser stops rendering the pages, but reason is unknown. Even with wifi, it doesn't do it.

Only thing to do is reset at the moment since this is obviously a bug in the code. I have even tried killing the process and it still won't render.

This issue is obvious in the Maps and Market apps as well. Anything that relies heavily on data fails, and I've seen the non-GPS positioning fail as well (I suspect that it tries to resolve the tower ID to a position on a map and that requires data, so it dies - not sure though). I sure hope they figure this one out quickly - it's VERY annoying!

They're everywhere.

Turns out it's congestion on T-Mobile's part.

I switch between my G1 and iPhone and it does it on the iPhone aswell.

After about 15mins of data, it just times out our connection with T-Mobile.

Except when you power cycle the phone everything is just fine again

Google's PC Site works just fine...it's the mobile site that's messing up. I have seen the page not loading issue a few times, I thought it was just an isolated case. Apparently not...


Anyone know how to change the default search engine?
