I have seen other people complaining about this on other forums. I MRoogled it and couldn't find any here.
as I stated in my OP I HAVE CLEARED COOKIES AND CACHE. NO CHANGE
I can use google search in the search bar just fine. but any other google services are impossible to use.

I have been able to narrow it down to Narrow it down to Buzz, Gmail, and www.google.com webapps that will not work on my iphone. they crash safari every time. Talk, youtube, latitude, docs all seem to work.
where should I take this question further? to google or apple?
everything works fine on my iPad. both are on the latest stock firmware

That's correct. However, some problems can be put back on the phone from the backup. So, if a Restore from Backup doesn't fix the problem, then a Restore as New is usually the next step, but only as a last resort. It's ALWAYS worth attempting to use the backup first.
Natesac, have you tried restarting your phone (i.e. power off, then power up)?
Yes I'm sure it works fine on most peoples phones. But in doing some searches online I have found that there are many other people with this same exact problem.
I did a restore and set up as new phone and that seems to fix the problem. Not sure if it would be temporary.
The problem however is that I had to restore back to my backup and the problem returned.
I cant keep having to do a full restore back to fresh when a new bug pops up. This is a little ridiculous. There has got to be some way to fix this without a full restore to new. I am getting pretty sick of losing all my app data every so many months.
Way to read the original post.
That's no different than shutting it down safely by holding the lock button.

It will not return unless you restore from that faulty backup.
You will keep inheriting that bug every time you restore from your backup.
If you setup as new and delete that backup you will never see it again.
I just tried your idea for clearing the databases. Still no change.
Whatever the problem is seems to live in my backup.
I'm still holding out hope there will be a way to fix this without starting over as new. I really don't want to have to lose all my app data, texts, and so forth.
Well I can tell you a full restore to "new" (not from backup) will fix the problem.
However I find this solution to e unacceptable.
Yup, that's not acceptable. That's not a fix, that's a workaround and I'm not going to go through the effort of doing another restore and losing my application data. I'd rather see an actual fix to the issue. It's not the end of the world because I just use the google toolbar in Safari, but it's annoying as hell when something like this doesn't work as expected.
