Google loading problem

[AC Question]

Why won't Google main website load on my S3?
Up until today it always loaded and the news items opened. Not any more. Why???

Works fine for me on stock browser and chrome.
What browser are you using? Who is your carrier? Are other websites loading? Are you on WiFi? Have you installed any apps recently? Are you referring to www.google. com, or some other specific address?


First try from the home screen: menu> settings> more> application manager> all> internet (if your using stock browser)> clear data.

Cleared data as suggested, but still no joy.
Answers to your questions:
Stock browser - 3 - All other websites will load - I'm on WiFi - no new apps installed only updates - referring to google.co.uk and google.com
This has only happened today, before that it was fine. Look forward to your feedback.

Granted, I'm in the U.S., but I can still access google.co.uk and news.google.co.uk on my S3.
What kind of error are you getting? Page loads forever or instantly denies connection? I'm sure you've already tried typing in the addy vs. using a bookmark.
Have you tried loading the page on a different browser?
Sorry for all the questions..

I'm in the UK but it's the same S3.
Page loads forever i.e blank page and only 5 or 6mm of blue loading line.
Have tried: bookmark, typing in the address, coming from another search provider, and Chrome. All without success. Yesterday it wasn't a problem. Today it is impossible.
If you don't ask, you'll never know.

Only other thing I can think of is view as mobile site vs. view desktop site....
After that, all I've got left to offer is sympathy! Sorry! :-\

 

[gromitt]

Thanks for your sympathy and thanks for trying.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Just to let you know: this morning Google is loading and opening tabs as you would expect.
Visually it looks different to how it was but that's immaterial as it is now functioning.
No, I have no idea how this has come about I'm just pleased, if confused, that it has.
