I suspect that Android uses facebook.com to determine internet availability . I had the same issue - mobile phone was saying no internet access on wifi when the access was perfectly fine. On Tue, 5 Oct 2021, 00:34 Sebastian Wiesinger via Outages, < outages@outages.org> wrote:
I've received reports from multiple endusers that can't "access the internet" with their Huawei mobile phones when connecting to a wireless network.
It seems Google had problems with their 8.8.8.8 service earlier as well caused by all the people trying to resolve facebook.com etc. I think that this might be a problem for Android gear doing connectivity tests over 8.8.8.8 after connecting to a new wireless network.
Can anyone corroborate this?
