Search problem - Galaxy S I9000 General

So I noticed something strange today. I have 3g and data, I can use facebook, twitter, email and I can enter a url and go to the site. However, if I try and use the search widget or google, the request times out. Any thoughts?

FB and Twitter do not sync

They were syncing fine before I did a factory reset, now they just say 'sync is temporarily down, it will be back up shortly'.
I've rebooted, tried deleting and recreating the accounts, neither worked.
Any ideas why this is happening after a factory reset?

Honestly it just takes some time. A lot of people had this error, including me. If you wait a day or two it usually just fixes itself. That is what happened with me. And even now sometimes when Facebook syncs, it gives me that error, but usually tries again in a couple of hours and decides to work.
Once it can connect to the server though, you may find that it doesn't grab your contacts. If this happens, go to the main contacts page and hit Menu>Get Friends. You should be able to select the account and manually add people. If the account is listed but grayed out, it means that it hasn't yet been able to even connect to the server.
Well, its been more than 24 hrs, but I'll wait another day or two. :-\

Mine started syncing again, but I did have to use the 'get friends' to pull my contacts into my address book.

I had this issue on the first day. It initially got my Facebook friends then seemed to lose them somewhere and wouldn't get them again. I actually deleted my Facebook profile and put the info in again and it worked. Redoing the facebook settings takes all of 30 seconds so it seems to be the quickest fix.
Try this fix I got somewhere else. It worked for me after a few tries.
1. Remove your Facebook account on your phone.
2. Go to the Facebook webpage and go to your Application Settings.
3. Remove "Samsung Mobile."
4. Wait a few minutes and add your Facebook account again.
Something else I tried, which may or may not have helped was turning on the auto sync when adding the Facebook account.

The fix for me was from "Weudel" at androidforums:
"From your home screen hit menu> settings> accounts & sync hit add account and add your Facebook account there. That should do it."
Maybe this can help you.
the only thing I noticed was that it completely deletes your settings when you first do the update. Once I set it back up I haven't had any issues.
Thanks...got facebook working again but still nothing from the built-in RSS feeds...espn, fox, npr, cnn, health...selected and unselected between restarts and still nothing...have a quite time setup as 11 pm to 6 am where I don't get any feed updates

did a system reset. rss feeds back, but lost data and installed apps. oh well.
Can't get custom feeds to work. Only pre-installed feeds come through...

No Custom or Standard Feeds
Have removed feeds and added them back, but haven't reset the phone as I don't want to spend the countless hours setting everything back up. Anyone having any luck getting the feeds restored?
I only get gmail and facebook...don't use twitter and can't get any rss feeds to work at all.
Sent from my Samsung Continuum using XDA App
I can't even get the pre-loaded feeds to work.
I called verizon yesterday and talked to a friendly voice and she didn't even have a continuum to walk me through troubleshooting the problem.
By all accounts, it should be working.
Her final solution was to reset the phone to factory settings. Not what I'm really ready to do just yet.

Setup your gmail account in the email program...not just the gmail app...out should be on page one or two in applications...green and while logo...

Email and Facebook comes in on Ticker but can't subscribe to RSS feeds or cancel RSS feeds and if I've subscribed to a feed PRE or USER added, I don't get anything.
Canceling or subscribing to feeds give error, "Server problem, try again".
Also, I don't get any Twitter notices.
Going to remove account (twitter) and reestablish account to see if I can get Twitter working again.
Totally stuck on the RSS feeds issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: Have reset phone and it worked for couple days, then nothing.
Is there any way to clear user added RSS feeds? I messed up typing in an Address, and now every time it tries to sync I get RSS error on that particular feed.

Gmail and MS office attachments

My gmail has stopped opening attachments generated by office suite. When I click the attachment it kind like tries to open it but then comes back to the email.
Anyone else having this issue?

Did you remove quickoffice app? It's a stock app that some consider bloatware but opens MS office docs (Some roms remove it or move it to /data/app)
No, I still have it. Pdf and pictures work, just the office docs.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
pdf and pictures open in different apps than office docs. It's friendly a quick office issue. Find it in settings/applications and clear data
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Thanks, I tried but still nothing. It flashes for a second and then goes back to the email.
One way around it I figured was opening gmail in my browser and downloading the attachment that way. Not the most efficient but gets it done.
Thanks again.

Silly question, but have you tried restarting the phone since you first saw this problem manifest itself?
Nu
Just to be sure, I just cleared the data and rebooted my phone. Still the same issue, flashes a blank screen for a second and then back to the email view.

What if you use something like "download all files" or "download crutch" to grab it from the email and save it, then open it up with your desired program? Yeah it is an extra step but it might work. Never tried it myself.
Are these apps in the market? I will give it a shot.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I have noticed this issue as well but it was only for .rtf files, I am not sure what files you are trying to open but the Gmail app does not seem to like those. I typically open up .xls/x in HTML format.

[Q] Yahoo Fantasy Football '11 login problems

Anyone else having problems with the app? Searched Google and everywhere else, got no answers. It updated from '10 just fine, we finished our draft yesterday, log in today and it says no draft. Log out and try to log back in, tells me invalid sign-on. Then tells me I've disabled the device for sign-on. Uninstall/reinstall/wipe caches does nothing. Can log into mobile site and regular browser site, no unusual log-in activity, so it's an issue with the app for sure.
Season starts in 2 days!
If its an issue with the app tell the developer.

Google web suggestions don't work

Hi,
I got my galaxy note upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 recently.
I am facing a weird problem with my default internet browser when it comes to google website.
I access google website (www.google.com) and it automatically gets into the mobile site version as normal.
I type anything in the search like (yahoo) and it gets me the suggestions like ( Yahoo, Yahoo mail, Yahoo finance , etc.), beside every suggestion there is an arrow "used to write the web suggestion in the search area if needed" .. till this moment everything is normal.
But, when I try to press on the web suggestion to go directly to it, it does nothing. for example, when i press on (yahoo mail) the page doesn't act and still it stays in the original google site. I tried to use dolphin browser and it doesnt have the same problem.
I have resetted the default browser to its default, deleted the cache and the data... but it didn't help.
Please, let me know if anyone faced the problem and knows a fix.
Thanks alot,
Gano

you can try setting your browsert to te desktop version. This being done by going to browser, then pressing menu button, then select teh 'desktop view' check box. See what happens when you do that.
Assuming I've unerstood your issue correctly ...
you need to press on the arrow, NOT on the suggested text with which it is associated. Once you do that, the corresponding text gets automatically filled into the google search field and you can then hit the magnifying glass (or done on keyboard) to send the search query.
Thanks jeffs... I tried the desktop view but it didnt work...
