Help Can't google search with app/widget since update

Ok, I bought my GS3 in November (AT&T), and last Saturday I updated to 4.1.1.

Ever since I updated, I'm unable to use my google search widget or app, it brings me to this screen and either force me to enter a captcha or doesn't let me search at all:

(Ok it won't let me post any links or images since this is my first post. It says this: )

"We're sorry, but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now"


This only happens when I'm using the data, NOT when I'm on WiFi. I can also use the browser to go to google.com and search just fine. Happens with Google Now on or off. I already upgraded the app, cleared my cache and cookies, restarted the phone, turned the data and WiFi connections on and off, etc. I do use it fairly frequently (a few times a day), but I don't search an inordinate amount, have automated queries, or anything like that. Usually when I search it's like "Bill Pullman or Bill Paxton in Twister" to settle an argument with a friend, haha. I'd rather not do a factory reset, but I would if I knew for sure it would fix this.

Thanks for any help!

There we go, sorry for the double post.
 
Welp this isn't a problem anymore. I didn't do anything to fix it, it just randomly stopped doing that. No idea why, but I'm not complaining!
 
It may well have been an issue with the Cell network then. I was thinking because your IP address could have been someone elses at some point and the update was coincidental... or it could have affected a few people in the same IP range
