Hello, I use Google (not Chrome) via the Samsung internet app on my A8. Yesterday it stopped deleting my search history. I normally delete things from the search bar, leaving a few regular searches there. Now it's filling up with everything. I've un and re-installed it, tried clearing the history but it still won't delete. Any suggestions please?
Thank you.

On Wifi, everything works as expected. The problem is when I'm connected to a mobile network.
Problem: I'm only able to access *google.com* sites!
When I try anything else (www.xda-developers.com, www.reddit.com, www.theoatmeal.com, etc) I get a "This webpage is not available" message from Chrome or "Web Page Not Available" from Dolphin.
I cannot access Google Voice. I cannot access Google Play.
What is working:
- Google search results show up, but when I click on the web pages, they don't load
- Google Apps (gmail, calendar, etc work fine)
- Google's cached pages
- I can make and receive phone calls
I've tried rebooting, and installing a new browser (Dolphin) in case of a settings issue.
Any solutions? Thanks!
try a new search engine, duckduckgo?

Tried that. The problem isn't loading search results (*google.com works fine). The problem is loading webpages from the search results and even when typed manually in the address bar.
In addition to *google.com, *android.com and *youtube.com pages also load properly. Youtube app works. Google Maps works. Gmail app works. Google Play and Google+ apps do not. Uber, Twitter and my bank apps do not.
When I load those that don't work, messages say there's a data connection issue. But, that's not the case, as some of the Google apps seem to function.
I have restarted the phone.
Do you have the correct APNs installed in your phone?
hi
it has been a while now, my Google Account is screwing up the sync to my Samsung Sgs2 every 2 weeks or so, I used to remove and put back the Google account and that fixed it. now that doesn't work anymore.
unless I click on "sync" is not doing anything so basically not "pushing" emails anymore....
is there something that could fix it? ive reinstalled gmail, etc etc. nothing helped... I am assuming I should reinstall the OS?
many thanks

Hi,
Before reinstalling the OS itself, and even if clearing google framework data is not really recommended, you can apply this workaround:
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).

source: take a look in google with keywords "Working workaround for Gmail Auto Sync Issues after 4.8+ updates"
Hope it helps

as usual, XDA delivers, I have done the steps you mentioned and my Sync is up and running again. Let's see if it holds from now on.
Thanks so much
hi
something bad must have happened last night / this morning. I had again the sync problem, gmail not download any email or sending anything out from my mobile.
I did again
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).
But this time when you open Google Play it's saying "check your connection and try again", grey screen, nothing happening, I tried empty cache as well. I can swipe from the left side and I see my email there with "redeem, settings and help & feedback" but nothing loads. I updated manually to very latest GPS apk.
opened Gmail and it's still syncing, nothing happens.
any ideas? seriously upset that they keep changing things!
thanks
after some fiddling around, I have removed gmail, reinstalled (I like an old version), nada, so then I went and removed the Google Account as I thought, well why not? that did the trick, Gmail started working again and after a bit of clicks I got the Google Play working again. Now calendar sync is screwing up a bit lol.....never working at once!
Earlier I did try to delete the hosts file in ETC as someone suggested but that didn't help.
thought to add my 2 cents.

I had to change the user on the phone without resetting it.
So I added another google account and ended up with 2 accounts. Then removed the old account. Some of the apps got uninstalled and some of the data in other apps dissapeared, which is ok.
Phone works fine. Everything functions but there's one problem.
If I open "installed apps" in GooglePlay I get nothing. No apps installed. I can install a new app and it'll show up there. but all the basic stuff is gone. So Maps, Gmail, Chrome etc are not showing up there. So obviously they won't get updated ever. I understand that I can uninstall and reinstall them and they'll appear, but
Is there a way to link all the existing apps on the phone to the Play Store so they can get updates?
The phone is rooted.

Clear Play store / services : data/cache/dalvik and you shoule be fine again.
I forgot to mention - I tried to clear data on google play services, play store and google services framework yesterday.
After a reboot opened playStore and it asked to accept the terms and still didn't show anything.
I have a Pixel 2, no mods, and I use Google to autofill forms. When there is a name or email address blank in an app (any and all apps) on my phone, it correctly suggests my name/email but it also incorrectly suggests a friend's who has never signed in on anything on my phone or computer. I can't figure out how to remove this suggestion.
I have tried:
Resetting the phone to factory settings
Clearing data/cashe from google play services, gboard, google app
Deleting all browsing data, autofill info, addresses on chrome
Deleting all saved passwords
Chatting with Pixel support within the phone.
When I cleared the data from google play services, I thought it fixed it. But turns out it just disabled the google autofill function. When I let Google start doing the autofill function again, the same thing happens. Which makes me think it's not stored on the phone, it's something in my google account. But I've been all through the google settings, payment settings, addresses, passwords, everything I can think of and can't find where this other person's name or email is coming from.
Any ideas??
I had the same problem, and apparently the unwanted email address was configured as an alternative email in my Google account.
Try checking it here: myaccount.google.com/email
Open the advanced section and see if the mail is somewhere in there.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that wasn't it either. The email isn't even mine, it's a random contact in my phone. Idk if that helps.
Hi, Having a small issue with the google webpage when viewing on firefox on my Huawei P30 Pro.
I previously had a Samsung S8+ an had the same setup on that, android 9.0, latest version of firefox and the same bookmarks that are synced to my account, I didn't have this issue on the S8+ though.
Basically when i'm on google and signed in on my P30 Pro google keeps constantly saving my searches and showing previous searches every time i tap on the search box, this is even though in my account it clearly shows as paused and not saving searches..
I have tried clearing the cookies stored for google and even though when i clear them it then logs me out of my google account, when i log back in it still carries on saving the searches.
I still have my S8+ and if i turn that on and go to google the searches are still off and don't show.
I really can't work out why it just won't work as it should on my new phone?
has anyone got any way they think i can do it? i don't really want to remove the google bookmark as i have my bookmarks in the order i want them and theres no option in firefox to re-sort your bookmarks like in most other browsers.
Thanks
James
I have the same problem on my Moto G6 Play. Turned off (and cleared) search history in Google, yet Google in Firefox still shows all new searches.
anyone else please?
