restart wifi

Do you mean Utilities/restart tricks?

I have also taken JP26 into use just by using WLAN. At some point I noticed that Android apps (e.g. DuckDuckGo browser) were not having internet access (but native apps had). Problem disappeared by turning WLAN off and then on from Settings/System/WLAN.

Just tried again. Problem popped back after phone restart. WLAN off/on from top menu did not help but from settings it helped.

Worth trying if you did not try this yet.

Restart wifi was done from System settings.

I just tried Utilities/restart, but that didn’t help either.

I also did ot that way. No problems so far, both SFOS and Android apps had WLAN connection.

Looks like my experience was not JP26 specific. When I moved SIM from 10iii/5.1.0.11 to JP26 and needed to do something on 10iii using Android app with WLAN, same problem appeared. WLAN status was “limited connectivity” and no access to net. When turning WLAN off/on from Settings/System/WLAN status got “connected” and net access worked.

At least on JP26 “limited connectivity” did not prevent SFOS browser to access net.
