Streaming service shows “No Internet” while cellular signal is available
The end user attempts to open a streaming service and receives a “No Internet connection” error, even though the device has active cellular signal and data connectivity.
Recommended Troubleshooting Steps
-
Confirm cellular connectivity
-
Verify the device shows active mobile signal and data.
-
Test basic internet access (e.g., load a simple webpage).

-
Test on Wi-Fi

Connect the device to Wi-Fi and attempt to load the same streaming service.

Restart the device.

Why this may occur
