Why is my phone connected without internet? Help needed!

Is it possible that your area has a network outage? It might not be your device at all. Checking with your carrier could help.

That could be true! I’ve faced that too—getting a reply from my provider made all the difference.

Has anyone tried toggling the Airplane mode? It can reset connections without a complete restart!

That’s a neat trick! I sometimes forget about wiping my phone’s caches. It can definitely assist with connection drops.

Make sure your Wi-Fi settings are correct too. Sometimes, forgotten networks can cause trouble when reconnecting.

That’s true! Double-checking Wi-Fi settings has saved me a lot of frustration in the past.

I had the same issue recently! Turns out my DNS settings were off. Check if you’re using a public DNS like Google’s (8.8.8.8) instead of your ISP’s default.

Yes! A quick DNS setting change fixed my issue too. It’s amazing how such small tweaks can make a huge difference.

Don’t forget to check if a VPN is active! Sometimes, VPNs can block internet access if they aren’t configured properly. Double-check those settings.

Absolutely, I had this problem too. Just disabling my VPN helped me reconnect.

Have you checked your proxy settings? Sometimes they get enabled by mistake! Make sure it’s set to ‘none’ if you’re not using a proxy.

I spent hours figuring this out. A wrongly set proxy was the culprit. It’s always good to triple-check your settings!

Indeed! It’s often the little things that trip us up. Remember to restart your device after making changes to apply them properly.

If you’re using an iPhone, try resetting network settings under ‘Settings > General > Reset’. It helped me when I was having issues.

I just had to laugh when my daughter had this problem too. She fixed it by simply toggling airplane mode on and off. Sometimes it’s the simplest fixes!

Haha, that’s classic! It’s funny how tech can have us overthinking when a simple reset works wonders.

In addition to the usual fixes, consider checking if your device’s software is up-to-date. Sometimes updates include important network patches.

That’s a great point! I had a similar connectivity issue on my older phone that was fixed with an update!
