Hi All, I'm having a really weird problem with my mobile browser with my new S7. Whenever I'm on WiFi my Google search engine works perfectly fine, however when im on LTE for some reason my Google search engine within chrome keeps taking me to Google.com.PR and all my searches come out in Spanish. I've tried to update the homepage and tried the search engine settings but it doesn't give me an option to change the page from Google.com.PR to Google.com. I've done a factory reset and it keeps do it! Please help.
Seriously... No one has any idea?

Having a problem last two days with vzw home page overriding browser/google settings and then forcing searches through Bing. Search starts in google to about 50% then loads the vzw page breifly before ending in Bing. I am on a debinged device and it wasnt a problem for the week before on the same rom.
Is it possible a market app swapped something and where might I look to find it ? No matter what I reset in the browser seetings or clear, the behavior returns.

A search on debinged browser will help you find answers. If you are rooted you will have more options. But there are things you can do to minimize the influence if bing searches without being root.
One solution that I used was to replace browser.apk with the one from the Samsung Mesmerize which is the Canadian version of the Fascinate which doesn't use Bing
There is another file that will give you google search on a short press of the search key. But not google voice search with a long press. To get Google Voice Search you can install Vlingo (a nice voice recognition application with lots of features)
Another option is to use a different browser like Dolphin (I like Dolphin Mini) and set your home page to Google.
For a google search widget you can install LauncherPro.
Lots of ways to go. Searching will help you find details.
Thanks for the reply, but maybe I wasnt clear. I am fully rooted, running an eb01DB_DXC.tar with eb01 lockscreen mods, some swapped touchwiz and buddies .apks and other minor mods. Google voice search is disabled and everything is set properly settings wise.
The search function worked properly for a week, but something has changed to create this new behavior. I already tried Skyfire as well.
I understand the need to search and I do quite a bit. I just cant find a reason why behavior would change when there is no apparent reason to based on the device config.
hi all, browsing web pages on my desire hd via 3g network has became a no go. it works fine with wifi. weird thing is though the mobile network is working, ive done a speed test, all my widgets update and using the market is ok but when i bring up dolphin browser hd or the original internet app the progress bar is right at the start then it disappears and it stops trying to load the page, weird
anyone else seen this? not tried a reset yet (would like to avoid). ive turned the phone off and removed the sim but didnt think that would help seeing as though the 3g is working
cheers all
UPDATE - re-installed browser still nothing, installed firefox and it works ok, but dolphin and the stock net app still dont work
Some times ago I have similar problem in Poland.
But this was a problem with the network, not with the device.
Try to change for the while only for gsm, reeboted and back to the dual mode.
Seems like a login issue in network.
If it works in firefox, go to the settings, applications, manage applications, "all" tab, find dolphin browser and the regular browser (called simply "internet" I believe) and press the button that says "clear data". That will reset the apps. You will lose any bookmarks or passwords though.
So inspite of title, really what you have is a problem with Dolphin HD and browser, as Raze suggests try clearing the app data and caches and see if that helps.
Over the past week+, even before the latest update, Google Search has been acting wonky...
Note: I am often in an environment that isn't ideal for voice searches, so all my searching is initiated by tapping the search bar. I don't know if the problems that I am reporting occur with voice initiated searches...
Many times when I search no search results will come up... it will just sit there...
Clicking on images at the bottom always brings up results and then clicking back on web sometimes 'wakes up' search and produces search results.
Searching from within Chrome by typing a search on the URL bar always works and doesn't exhibit this problem...
What I have done to try to remedy it:
> Uninstalled Google Search updates and gone back to factory
> Force stopped three apps/services and cleared data: search, voice search and google services framework
> Removed and reinstalled my Google Account from the device
None of those steps fixed the problem...
Has anyone else experienced this?
Note: I am totally stock with an unlocked bootloader...
Thanks...

Others have talked about this including me. Look at the following thread and comment there.

This FC is driving me nutts! It always appears whenever I will use S-Voice, or view the Gallery, I already tried doing a Wipe but it is still the same. I even tried the tip that I got from the Sprint S3 on updating Google Search but I still have the problem.
Please help!
I have had the same problem, only on my tablet. I think the error starts appearing after you you set up Google Now. Clearing data for Google Search and using the google search without setting up google now might keep the problem from reappearing. let me know if this worked for you.
EDIT:
Go to System Settings>Accessibility>Text-to-speech output> Select Pico TTS or anything that's not Googe Text-to-speech Engine

Unfortunately Google Text-to-Speech Engine has stopped, Please Help

Sorry to bother.
Odd problem.. I installed a stripped down rom, and now i have no Google voice to text. I installed Google keyboard, and Google search, however no Google typing option in the input settings. Is there an apk i can install to fix this?
after spending all day looking for the solution, I would find the answer 10 minutes after posting about it lol
seems I was missing plain old Google on my phone, found it in the App Store download it and it works like a charm now.
