So my problem is that after i connect in any wifi network, my phone says "no internet" however I really have internet connection (for example i can go to facebook), and after reboot it works normal sometime. Tried factory reset with no any help. So does someone have same problems and if you do, did you fix it?
My phone does this with any wifi network and everytime reboot "fix" it. Also i don't do anything special before this problem appears.
Phone: S7 Edge (G935F)
OS: Android 7 Nougat
so it's just cosmetic?
I guess to determine if you've internet the smartphone is pinging a certain server which seems not to be available in your case.
I only did restart once and while I'm on recognized network, it was fixed permanently. It happened only on first use, you may need to reboot the router

Okay, thanks for the info, i'll test that and see if it works for me.
EDIT: it didn't work for me

Well i guess it's only cosmetic since i can use browser normally and my whatsapp etc works great. I just don't understand why it works this way.
I have similar issues on my wi-fi. When strength of signal goes under 50% (ca <65 dBm), it starts to lag and very offen lost connection to the internet...pretty disturbing and dissapointing I have to say.

Okay, is it like it's really losing connection or just saying that like in my case (i have the connection, but my phone thinks i don't so it shows that "no internet" notification in wifi settings and in the wifi icon)?
It is really also losing of connection, download stuck or is really sloooow. It is also indicated in status bar in Wi-Fi icon (exclamation mark) and under Network name is "Internet can be unavailable".
When the signal is weak, I can't even finish network test through Ookla app - upload test can't be finished.
Same situation is with other wifi networks...in my work when the signal is at 50% signal, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, my other phone has stable connection at the same place where Edge is strugling
Screenshots are attached.

Hi. Have a recent problem that developed on my HD2. It happened after installing the mod that activates a task switcher when holding the send button. Could have happened sooner but I think I would've noticed...
Problem is: I have my HD2 connected to WiFi at home and it works perfect for web browsing and all, but, the moment I use other apps such as updating weather or browsing google maps or the Windows marketplace they use the 3G regardless of my WiFi being active and working.
I am on 1.48 stock ROM.
I have uninstalled the mod BTW and I use duttys task manager.
Please please help me someone...
doubt it has anything to do with that mod... i dont have any mods on and 50% of the time even tho i am in WiFi covered area with WiFi on it will start using 3G instead of checking for WiFi. Its extremely annoying and i cant understand that HTC didnt atleast give you a small manager wich would give you different options how to connect to internet once you are trying to connect...
Its not that I am in a WiFi zone. my WiFi is connected and I am browsing the web. It's.not that it is just choosing a connection, it completely ignores my WiFi on everything but the browser. And it only started happening today. Marketplace worked on WiFi yesterday.
Nevermind. I found the problem. Earlier today I set no WiFi network to be treated as a work network instead of a internet network. this lead to most apps thinking I am not connected to the internet.

Hi. My problem is more or less as described by NESO1234 above. WiFi at home is is connected, but browsing Internet is done through 3G (I guess - loading a page takes loong and the arrows indicating WiFi connection are not moving).
You mention network not set correct. Could you or someone give me a more spesific hunch (path...) on how to make WiFi beeing used?

Go to the WiFi connection place (where the Wifi switch is and it shows ur acess point underneath) go to Advanced > Change Network then select ur AP and make sure 'Connects to:' is set to 'The Internet'.
Hope it helps, it worked for me
I have no idea what caused it, but just tonight my phone stopped being able to connect to my home wifi. The wifi symbol in the status bar shows that it is connected, and the phone sees my router but when i try to activate skype it asks me if i would like to use a cellular connection as apparently my wifi does not exist.
Any ideas ?
reboot your modem and router, turn off wifi on the phone until it is back up, then reenable the phones wifi, see if that helps.
No dice. I reset both, the symbol shows me as being connected on the phone but when i load up Opera and try to go to a web page it says 'Connection closed' and Skype also isn't working.
Okay so that's strange. For some reason my HD2 set itself to a Static IP. I went into the Broadcom settings and changed to server assigned IP and it's working again.
Technology is a pain sometimes !

For some weird reason my does a similar thing about every 3-4 days. Nothing changes, it just decides to not connect however resetting the Netgear does the trick (not ideal but does the job).
Other dissapointing thing is often it cant pick up or has poor signal around the house in certain rooms but my wifes bloody Iphone picks up signal everywhere lol (i still convince her, the iphone is inferior)
Hello,
anyone has the same problem as mine? And maybe a fix
My problem is the stability of my 3G data connection. Sometimes it just hangs which means that it indicates that it is connected to 3G but when I try to sync my mail or browse to a page, it doesn't show anything and it timesout as it seems not to be connected.
I disconnect my data connection and connect again to fix the problem. I experience the problem when I leave my phone on standby for sometime.
If I have Opera running in the background, I have to exit it and start it again after the restarting data connection to be able to browse!!!
Anybody experience the same problem and maybe has a fix?
I sorta had this issue, but the phone kept switching from 3g to HDSPA and back again, not loading the web page during. So i disable HDSPA to force it only 3g. I dunno if if this is whats happening to you, but hey worth a shot no?
Where?
Where can I disable HDSPA ??

Start - Settings - Connections - Advanced Network
The tab that comes up, click on the drop down list and choose disable. Soft reset and see if your connection stabilises
thx
thanks, will try that
i Already try that but the problem persist i´m going to try with a diferent radio
I have this issue too, Its been on the last 3 radios I have used. Going to update to the latest one tonight
Have you guys tried disabling the proxy?
Settings - Connections - Connections
You will have your internet settings, and then My Work Network. Under your internet settings, click Edit my proxy server, and uncheck This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
However the proxy server that already in there will dissapear, so write it down. But oddly, on my device, i cant edit it. i dunno, i guess if something goes wrong, just run the connections setup again.
This is a known issue without a solution at this point.
Here's the main thread discussing it, 30+ pages of trial & error:

seems working

It seems to be working when disabling HDSPA!! No connection problems so far
Yes, but you're also not getting 3G...
yep
I am getting 3G!
He's getting 3g but not 3.5G which is usually faster speeds.

What is that option to disable HDSPA?
Last time I tried, I was only getting edge, and not 3G

I posted it early up. read the thread dude it only disables hdspa, its not the same as the 3g switcher in the comms manager, that turns off 3g entirely
to the OP, glad it worked however, my internet started workin a few weeks later with hsdpa, could be due to a better radio that i flashed. so if u flash a new radio, hdspa might still work better so be sure to test it out!
This is probably the issue, please star it if you are also noticing this: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=96632
Whenever first disconnecting to a WiFi network (e.g. leaving a place), while the phone is "temporarily avoiding poor connection" (as seen in the WiFi settings page), mobile data doesn't kick in until it fully disconnects, resulting in the phone being disconnected from the internet until the WiFi signal gets stronger, or one gets far enough from the network for it to disconnect fully.

As far as I can tell it's a Lollipop issue.
Ever since I connected my galaxy s8 to the router my WiFi is having problems. First every time I try to download something from the play store it takes ages ( not to talk about the system update I downloaded) it gets stuck at 128 kbs then up to 5mbs then stuck again while it works everywhere else in the house. Second, I've been getting an exclamation mark next to the WiFi sign on my galaxy s8,every time that happens I don't have WiFi on my phone AND everywhere else for like 5 minutes or more it's usually happening when I try to download something. I don't know why it's happening but it's really frustrating honestly. I once came back home and decided to leave WiFi off on the phone and everything worked just fine untill I turned it on again in the evening... It's really weird. I thought its because of my router so I decided to switch to another router which is coming tomorrow. I hope it won't happen on the new router but could you guys help me to figure why this happening to me and maybe fix it? Thank you.

That is really weird. I only get the exclamation when I am connected to wifi but need to supply a login for it like a public wifi that makes you go to a webpage and sign in. I have a G6, but figured I'd chime with my experience in the hope it helps you out.

Yeah I know what you mean xD I'd have that too in public WiFi but in home when I have that exclamation mark it says " Internet connection may not be accessible" or something like that under my WiFi name in Internet settings.

That is strange. Honestly, it sounds like an issue with your ISP or modem/router.
I would get the exclamation when the signal got too weak, especially on 5ghz wifi which my unit had terrible reception for. Also I noticed that holding the phone by the top (my left hand in landscape orientation) would really kill the 5ghz reception and cause the exclamation to pop up and wifi lost.
I would start with login into router and make sure it's updated to latest FW and is set to auto update. Then I would check other settings, for example you may be over the limit for maximum connected devices.
Just to chime in, I have the same problem on my S8. I'll be connected to wifi and after 10-15 minutes I'll notice I'm getting no notifications and will see that the wifi icon has the "!" next to it. The wifi also disconnects when the screen is off, which appears to be a very common bug. I'll notice about 15 seconds after I turn the screen on that I get the message "Your phone is connected to xxxx wifi" or whatever it says. I use a sonos speaker as my alarm clock in the morning, so I have to sit there and wait to connect to wifi before I can turn off the music. It is terribly annoying.
I was having this same issue. I have the VZW S8+. After upgrading to new system update AQDF, I have not had the wifi "!" issue anymore. I cleaned system cache after the upgrade.
S8+ here. I get the exclamation point and disconnectivity randomly at home. Disabling and reenabling wifi works, but it's really annoying...
I was experiencing this maybe 3-4 weeks ago but my wifi has never been the best so I assumed that was the issue. I cleared the cache, reset router, forgot & reconnected to wifi, none of which helped but in time it's disappeared. Wish I could be of more help.

On the s8, this is what the ! Is intended for. When your signal is too low, it will stop it until it is good enough quality. Deemed by whatever dbm Samsung has set. It only disconnects when smart network switch is turned on. When it is turned off, you will still get the ! Which is just saying that the connection is not favorable and will be slow, so you should move closer to the router

Only time I get the ! is when my home broadband drops out which thanks to Virgin is quiet often lately. Sometimes however, it still works even with the ! showing.
Unlocked S8 owner and i have the exact same problem. Getting the exclamation mark next to wifi symbol and internet connection get lost or brcome extreme slow. It is not the issue of the distance from the router...
Where can I clean the system cache ? without loose my settings or program?

I have the same problem with my office router. The signal quality is excellent but the exclamation mark ( ! ) does appear sometimes. It does not happen daily as some days the luck appears to be good but sometimes its really frustating as the mark keeps showing on Wifi and it does not work. As stated by other member above all other devices works perfectly fine. I am using TP Link 54M Wireless Router, Model No.: TL-WR340G/TL-WR340GD. Please advise.

Same problems here in Italy with a Galaxy S8+ Italian no brand
Many many other users reported these problems
Tried everything found in forums, including disabling the fingerprint recognition and various reset but the problem is still there... No new hint found in the meanwhile?
Thanks for your help
exclamation point, wifi not available

I have the same issue from time to time. in my home I have a mesh wifi system and I notice that in 1 room in particular where the signal drops from 702 mgps to 234 mgps I get the exclamation point and can't use wifi at all. have to turn it off and use lte instead. this also happens from time to time on the strong signal. At work the wifi is at 52 mgps and I never have issues with the exclamation point and wifi not available message. the other people in my home do not have the same issue with their phones so this is definitely a Samsung issue. I have a feeling will either need to get a different phone or return it for a different manufacturer. Any ideas on a fix for this without either of those solutions?
For my s8+ Solved
I was having wifi exclamation mark on my s8+
I solved this issue with changing the wireless security settings on my router
Change :
Version : WPA2-PSK
Encryption : AES
#And also wipe cache partition of your phone#
It's working on my s8+ and now internet work perfectly without exclamation mark or disconnecting
Go to your settings, connections, mobile networks, access point names. Click the three dots upper right and select reset to default. Restart your phone. The exclamation will not return when on wifi.
