Sometimes when I'm on EVDO and I go to google for searching the Google Search button says "Google" but has Chinese characters next to it. If I search for something it returns all my results in Chinese. If I go back to the main search page and change it to "search in english" things appear as normally expected.

Is there some reason my phone or Google thinks I'm in China when in fact I'm actually in California? Visiting http://geotoolservehttp.com currently shows my IP out of Kansas, though I haven't checked this site when this is happening to me with the Chinese issue.

Anyone else experience this?

This used to happen to me a lot on my old winmo phone, I'm in Ohio but it thinks it needs to be in French. I got around this both ways I've already seen people say, google.com/intl/en or just sign in to google.

Anyways.. I just wanted to confirm that this isn't anything to do with the phone, but Google itself.
