I am new to the forum so I hope that this hasnt already been answered. I have a GalaxyS phone for over a year now. Yesterday I noticed that I could browse the internet thru google on my phone, text and make calls but all app based functions that needed the internet would not work over the 3G or WiFii. When I try to use youtube or ESPN apps or anything like this the green arrow shows info going out on 3G but no red arrow bringing info back in. It started to work again last night for the most part but then this morning it is back to not working again. I have restarted the phone multiple times an made sure that the SIM card was clean, things a friend suggested that I try. Any help would be great.

Before you go as drastic as a factory reset, lets find out a few things.
Are you using any task killers? Do you have apps like Juice Defender or Tasker installed?
If improperly configured, these can cause the issues you are having.

OK, I am at work right now, so I will have to get back to you later. I just didn't want you to think I abandoned you.
OK, so the browser works, but other data (facebook for example) do not? That's curious.
Could you let us know what specific phone and carrier you have so that the folks most familiar with your situation can help.

That would be handy, I know the Galaxy S can go by different names dependant on carrier in the States.
Do you have any security/firewall apps like droidwall/avast etc installed?
