Search trouble with jelly bean - AT&T LG Optimus G

I installed the AT&T jelly bean update a couple days ago and now when I do a Google search the links that come up from the search results won't work. I get a quick flash of the screen and then it goes right back to the search results page. I am not rooted, I'm running stock jb. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice on how to resolve it? Thanks in advance!

Try clearing cache and data for the "Google Search" app.

So it appears to be a problem with chrome. I was using chrome as my default browser when I couldn't get the links from my searches to work. I tried opening chrome directly and the app won't open up. I switched my default browser to the LG browser and it works fine now. So now I need to try to figure out why chrome isn't working on my phone. Any suggestions?

Noticed that my chrome is glitching as well after jelly bean update. Plain clear cache/reset doesn't work, but uninstalling the update and reinstall works.

I have the same problem too.. Tried almost everything.. Flashing new roms, wiping, clearing cache and data of market, in every way either with market enabler or not new market search and web-based market is not working after rebooting. For temporary solution i found to downgrade to the old version. Market auto-updates itself to new one but it works until reboot.
P.S. : My device is Galaxy SII
Yes, removing upsates makes it work again, on my atrix new search upsate gives error and closes search if i try to search within my installef apps . (Pressing search button while insife all my apps) also theres no longer the dropdown for search type in the left side of rhe widget just below the G logo. I hope they fix this since i use that functionslity a lot.
At least i would like a way to prevent it from updating.

[Q] Google Chrome Has Never Worked for Me

Is anyone having any luck running the Chrome browser beta?
I'm on Joker's CM9 (0.5.0.1) and have previously been on version 3 and 4 builds of CM9 but I get nothing but crashes with Chrome. It loads, and I can usually navigate to a page, but as soon as I click a link or button, it either freezes and exits.
I saw there was a Chrome and CM9-specific thread that suggested making a change to the ro.build.id parameter, but I tried that and there was really no change.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603725)
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Works for me, except tabs it crashes when try to use tabs..but I'm on 0.5.0

Crashes doing pretty much anything for me.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
It just seemed weird to me that I was having so little success with Chrome. After all, Android is Google's OS and I've never had problems with Google sites or apps running on Windows platforms. Likewise, I have very few problems running the Dolphin HD browser on CM9, though I do have it set up for forced portrait mode as it will lock up if it goes to landscape (I understand this to be a known CM9 issue).
Anyway, it's good to know that it's not user error on my part with Chrome. Thanks.
works in my phone only thing when i try to use tabs it crashes.
has anyone looked into why chrome force closes when we try to open up tabs? I would think this would be something worth fixing, seeing as chrome is easily the best browser on android.

Its driver related... won't be a fix until we get ICS/JB drivers

He is right. Opera is in the same boat. I use ics browser+ on 4.0 and above.

I noticed it did that too, thought it was just my phone. Gone back to stock ICS now to wait for OTA update (next week hopefully). Want to see how it runs before using a custom rom again. Omega was nice but seemed buggy.

I just sent the link to myself in an email and clicked on it in GMail and it gave me the choice to open it in the Browser, Chrome or Play Store. I am DLIB.

I did that but the browser still force close every time u try to open it, can you extract the browser apk and just put it here, so I can download it, I think that will solve my problem.

Pulled this from Slick V2 ROM I had on SD card, pretty sure it is stock. Hope it works for you.
I have the same issue
Try another one, xscope or puffin, those two are AWESOME browsers

[Help] Chrome does not delete history

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.
Web history and predictive search are both turned off.
Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

Root your devices then download system app remover and then remove chrome and download dolphin browser

Force stop your Chrome in setting, and you can find a clear data button in that page.

Tanks, but I was hoping I could keep on using chrome as I really like it apart from this problem.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

If you like chrome, what's so good about it??
Press The Thanks Button If I Helped You :thumbup:
Come on guys, he asked a problem about Chrome, if he wanted to just switch to another browser he would.
Clearly something is wrong.
Are you signed in with your Google account or you're using local ?

Thank you. I'm using my local account, so no web history is in play. The problem seems to be rare, I have been googling for a few weeks now but I have yet to come accross a similiar problem (on android that is).

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?
i would recommend re-installing from the play store as well.
I have tried that, no luck though. I'll try and report it as a bug to Google, might get a response from them aswell.
