Google Mobile vs Google classic on iPhone

I have been happily using Google 'Classic' on my iPhone frome the start (as opposed to the more simplified Google 'Mobile' option I'm presented with). But now each time I go to Google.com on my iPhone it automatically defaults to the 'Mobile' version and will not even allow me to even select 'Classic'. Has anyone else noticed this? I suppose this is no big deal in the great scheme of things but what gives? Any ideas?

Yes, I noticed this today. A little frustrating...

Google Mobile iPhone app

Just tried the new free Google Mobile iPhone app. It works fine.
Will it work on the iTouch?

Having an accent (as I have) doesn't help much. I searched for my hometown, and it searched for a **** star. I can type faster than the time it takes to hopefully getting Google to figure out what you say.

Google mobile search result links lead to downloading db file

Firefox mobile on Galaxy Sii running rooted stock 2.3.5
Google search takes me to google mobile results. Clicking on any result usually causes a popup "Complete action using DB Text Editor", and downloading of a file.
If I change google settings to the classic view, instead of mobile, links function correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion. In my case, the problem is Google Mobile/Symbian web browser-specific. The phone in general can access WLAN connections without any problems. I have tried all possible adjustments to both Google Mobile and Symbian web browser I can think of. I'm pretty sure the problem lies at the Google-server end of things: something about the way the search result links are formatted provides insufficient data to the Symbian web browser. It's strange that going through the cached page version to the current version works (as described above). Nokia s60 users experienced a similar (but not identical) problem in May of 2011, but someone at Google noticed the situation described on the Google Mobile Forum, and had the problem corrected. No such luck this time, I'm afraid. It may be that the s60v2 is getting to be too old for Google to bother with. It's a shame, but at least using Vlingo (or the runaround with the cached pages) there is a workaround.

Google mobile problem with 3G S

When I use the Google mobile app with the 3G S, it doesn't always activate the voice search when I put it up to my face. I don't recall having that problem with my original iPhone. Anyone else having this problem?

I find it has to be a definite move to your ear. Move too smoothly and it won't trigger the voice search.
Also, check the Google app settings (the button at the bottom right). "Screen Rotation" is supposed to be set to OFF. "Turning on Screen Rotation disables motion sensing for voice search."

Google calendar appointments not showing on iPhone calendar

All my Google calendar appointments used to show up on my iPhone's calendar. Now they are not showing up on my iphone's calendar. What is interesting is that appointments made prior to last week are showing up on the calendar. However, apppointments made in Google calendar after last week are NOT showing up on my iPhone calendar.
Any suggestions on how to make this work? It used to work and then something strange happened ...

MAGIC happened for me as well.
Here's what I did:
(1) I added the Google calendar using the CALDAV option - i.e., go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar and then choose Add Calendar. Here is a link to the instructions I followed:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674&ctx=cb&src=cb &cbid=-1g0evm93kqt46&cbrank=3
Here are the steps that I followed:
To sync with your device, follow these steps:
Open the Settings application on your device's home screen.
Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select Add Account...
Select Other.
Select Add CalDAV Account.
Enter your account information:
In the Server field, enter [ google.com ]
In the Username field, enter your full Google Account or Google Apps email address.
In the Password field, enter your Google Account or Google Apps password.
In the Description field, enter the name you'd like to appear on the account.
Select Next at the top of your screen.
After you've completed setup, open the Calendar app on your device and syncing will automatically begin.
After this, there were 2 entries in my iphone calendar for every gmail calendar appointment - i.e., each entry appeared twice. So, I deleted the calendar I had just added following the advice above and now everything works.
Strange behavior but I am glad that my gmail calendars are now appearing in my iphone.

How do I turn of Google mobile?

How do I turn off Google mobile. I want the HTML version of igoogle.

I'm another who really wants to see my personal iGoogle page in the non mobile version on my phone. I've looked a few times on googles site for a feedback email address or phone number but I can't find it. I didn't buy the iPhone to get mobile pages, I bought it to get the full internet (as the ad says).
Is there any way to fire up safari on the iphone in debug mode like you can on a Mac so you can edit the browser string? Then you could just let google think you're on a full blown Mac instead of an iPhone and get the real page you want.

About Google mobile app

I am reading alot about the Google Mobile App that seems to be in a lot of itunes stores but is not in Sweden. Is there a way to get it anyway from maybe another store or will it come soon to Sweden as well?

WHen you access Google from the iPhone, it automatically reads that you are on a mobile device and puts you into the Mobile Google site...
The App they created basically is just a fancy way of getting to that same link with some cosmetic improvements.

Google Mobile App Issues - Localhost error

Hi guys,
Whenever I go into the Google Mobile App and then click on one of the google products underneath it, it opens the browser and says localhost on the address bar
and a Cannot Open Page error.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thnx in advance

Haven't seen that but try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Wow patient much? Yes been about 9hrs since you asked but the majority of those that answer are U.S. based and you asked at 2:45 in the morning here. Then as time passed your question got moved down the list.
As for your question, I can only guess Push notifications using the app will require less battery than the email app checking on an interval.

Google Mobile Bug

When I go to google in my safari on my iphone, and I hit the gmail tab, the safari goes into this continuos loop, it never loads, it just keeps reloading the screen over and over, has anyone experienced this and tell me why, and it did not just happen on my phone I tried a few others as well and the same thing happen.Im pretty sure if you try it you will produce the same results, and yes I know my phone supports gmail directly but that never happen before, it seems to be something with this 2.1 update

I've got the same problem, too. I'm running 2.1 with no problems (unless they've just started now). In google mobile, I first tried hitting the reader tab and got the loop. I get the loop in the gmail and calendar tab, as well. Oops -- I just tried again, for the fourth time in a few hours -- and it's ok, now. All tabs seem alright.

1.1.3 Google Mobile icon for home screen

It seems Google was ahead of the curve on this one. If you add Google Mobile to your home screen it gives you a nice crisp little Google icon. With any other site you just get a section of the page as your icon (zooming in on a logo helps). As soon as I noticed this I decided to add Apple to my home screen. Guess what, no custom icon. What gives? You'd think Apple would be the first kid on the block with a custom icon.

As for why Apple didn't (just my guess). Apple made the web clip icon show what you zoomed in on for that page. Now when they explained web clips, the mentioned a person may want a icon for the Style section of a newspaper site. Now if I created a web clip and zoomed in on the Style title, I would get a nice icon with "Style" showing. Then lets say I wanted a icon for the Sports page. I repeat but zoom in on Sports. Now I have two icons (same site) but icons look different based on my needs and what I want to see. So in short, gives the user control. Now for sites that are going to override the icon, they can if they wish but that will take away from the users customization of thier phone but will give good branding of the site.
So each has it's place. For Apple, since they made it to allow customization for the user it makes more sense (IMHO) for them to leave it up to the user rather than force an icon on them.

Google Mobile App & GPS work together randomly

I'm surprised we don't have a specific area for application questions, unless I missed it somewhere, however :
I'm currently back to driving a cab in the metropolitan suburbs of New York City, and often find I'm needing to know "where is the nearest "UPS" or "Dunkin Donuts" or such.
At first the Google Mobile seem to give me results knowing darn well where I was, but now I'm back to using store locaters on individual sites . . and I usually don't know what zip-code I'm in !
Did I turn something off in Settings awhile back when dealing with greater battery drain perhaps ?
GPS working in tandem w/ Google Mobile seems to have become rather random !

Please forgive a discreet bump, I can't imagine how this went to page 5 in only 2 hours !
Well.. I can imagine, I'm just astonished.

Google Mobile App broken

Since 5/2/11, the Google Moble app returns results in which the page links are not active, i.e. they will not open. Normally they either open from with the Google Mobile app, or open within the s60 browser (shown as "Web" in the applications folder). This is clearly an external problem at Google, since nothing has changed on our phones (to our knowkedge, anyway). How can we contact Google?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try posting your issue on the google mobile forum:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile?hl=en
With this being a google issue there's nothing we can do to help you here. If you have an old discontinued model, like the N79, your best option is to use an alternative method to search such as opera mobile/mini.

Problems with Google Mobile App in 3.0

My Google mobile app is not working correctly in 3.0... it won't register motion sensing for voice search (and yes, motion sensing is turned on in the settings menu and the accelerometer works fine in other apps). I have tried removing and re-installing the app several times, to no avail. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any ideas as to a solution?

I've noticed the same issue since the update to 3.0. Generally Google will not react at all with the tones/chimes to let me know that it's 'paying attention', at least for several attempts of raising it to my ear (though the screen will darken as if on a phone call so accelerometer is doing its part). Then (sometimes) it will inexplicably begin to behave properly for search after search. I've found only two mentions of this issue in the discussions (surprised there aren't more considering it must be related directly to the update), neither with a solution, but at least I know it's not my imagination.

I always want google classic, but sometimes i get google beta or google security (or whatever, can't remember its name) when i don't want it. why does this happen and how can i set google classic as the default?

google is my default on the home page. But when i ask for google or simply open firefox, i sometimes get google beta or google security (or whatever its name is) instead of google classic. I just want google classic. How can i set it as my default. (I have a desk top computer, use firefox, and this never happens.)

Why Apple can't undo its mistake?
Whose mistake? The source of the problem:
I was required to enter my recovery key. Now, there begins that huge flaw. I've forgotten it (I know it was my responsibility to remember it).
If you had just taken the simple steps of storing your recovery key as Apple tells you to when you set it up, none of this would've happened.
As it clearly states in the FAQ on 2-step verification: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
After you turn it on, there will be no way for anyone to access and manage your account at My Apple ID other than by using your password, verification codes sent your trusted devices, or your Recovery Key. You must be responsible for:
Remembering your password.
Keeping your trusted devices physically secure.
Keeping your Recovery Key in a safe place.
If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you could be locked out of your Apple ID account permanently.
In addition, with two-step verification turned on, only you can reset your password, manage your trusted devices, or create a new recovery key.
Apple Support can help you with other aspects of your service, but they will not be able to update or recover these three things on your behalf.
If you aren't responsible enough to do that, you should not have turned the optional security feature on.
This is your fault, not Apple's.
