Problem with Google after iOS 5.1.1 update.

I just update my iphone 4 verizon version with the ios 5.1.1 update and now have a problem with google.com image search. When I search an image with google, I get the typical thumbnail of pictures. But when I click on one of the images nothing happens, I am un-able to select the given image. Also I try to advance to the next page and nothing happens, I stay on the same page. If I search using yahoo everything works fine. Everything is fine when I use google image search on my Ipad and Mac. Whats up with the iphone 4 after this ios update?

OK, I had the same problem (upgraded to 5.1.1 this morning and couldn't expand thumbnails in Safari nor could I scroll too next thumbnail page) but I just fixed it.


So what did I do?


I plugged my iphone into my iMac. As it synced with itunes, I noticed it giving it some sort of Safari fix/plug in. I picked up my phone and tried Safari/images and everything is back to the way it was (expanding/scrolling etc).


Hope this works for you. And thanks for letting me know I wasn't the only person who felt like a sap today for upgrading;)

Ok the strange thing is now google image search is working as it should work. I just charged the iphone and google image search started to work again. I find this very strange since I just plugged the phone into the wall charger and not the usb which connects to my Mac. Perhaps google needed to update their tracking software along with the ios 5.1.1 update? lol

Ammo Thatcher's approach seems feasible but I did not have to go that route.

Thanks to everyone for responding to my question. I hope your iphone works flawlessly.

Hello, I'm a new italian user. Sorry for the english, first. I solved this problem deleting the navigation history, the cookies + datas and activating / disactivating the private navigation. Perhaps only one of these things is helpful, perhaps all, however the phone (4s with iOS 5.1.1) now shows me the thumbnails of pictures and i can select and enlarge it. I hope to be helpful. Hello

So when is apple gonna stand up and say something, my girl friend updated yesterday and had this problem, and I held off until today to update thinking that people would have freaked and bitched and apple would do something. How ever both of our iPhone now suffer the exact same problem. I know the problem is some kinda glitch brought on by the update, my girl friends phone started right after the update, and we found out about, then we checked my iPhone 4s 5.1.0 and google worked fine. Today when I updated it immediately stopped working. I have tried all above techs to try and fix, nothing works
