Hi everyone, I have been using my Droid Razr just fine, but noticed lately that whenever I connect to wi-fi, the Google Search stops working. When I tunr off wi-fi, it works just fine. Please help.

Thanks!

Give these two things a Try First Go to the Browser as soon as it Pops Up Tap your Settings-->Then More-->Go all the Way to the Bottom of the Page to-->Settings from there go Privacy Settings--> tap Clear All this will clear all the Browser History after your Done hit the home Button

Another you can do is Go to settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications--then Select All ten scroll to Google search tap to go in an Clear the Cache then the Data then Hit home an if you want Do a Soft reset then give this a Go again..b33

Just an odd thought. Maybe check your wifi to see if Google is blocked. I know on my own wifi I can block specific web sites. Maybe for some odd reason someone may have blocked Google.

I have cleared my cache, uninstalled any app killers, and still, no Google Search! The other Google apps work that have been installed- what gives?

As always, I suggest backing up all of your personal information prior to completing a hard reset. Once you have done so then there is a brief tutorial that will assist in setting up your device. After the device is setup, please test all voice and data services for full functionality prior to re-adding your personal info back to the phone.
