Google Search Opera from SPANISH to ENGLISH
 
For some reason, my google search in the internet default is running the search in spanish. Do you know how to default it back to English ? I am running stock rom 6.5 Sprint. I would greatly appreciate your help.

It's an error on Google's part. I blogged about this awhile back:

This is probably because Google is incorrectly guessing your location/nationality based on the IP address assigned to you by your mobile carrier. Try accessing the site from a WiFi connection and Google will probably detect your correct location. At least it worked for me…
Google often thinks my Sprint-assigned IP address is in a Spanish speaking region.

Thanks--I guess no fix at the moment. I probably should learn spanish :)

Just go to the google homepage. Hit settings, then change the first option under general settings back to english! Don't forget to hit save when you are done.

haha! this happens to me all the time. I didn't think about google thinking sprint had a spanish area IP...I just thought our phones had a ethnicity sensor lol.

This randomly comes and goes on my TP2 and it did on my TP as well. Its just odd because it seems to be inconsistent, even though I am connected through Sprint. Glad to know the cause now.

I did change this to English setting and saved. The only different is that I have english menu on the bottom after changing the setup but the search is still in spanish.
